Lies (phan and kickthesticks)

Chapter 4

I woke up to see sunlight peeking through my window. I sat up and walked over to my dresser. I pulled out black skinnies and my shirt with a bear on it. My mom was making breakfast downstairs. 

Pancakes.

Those were probably the best thing she could make. After getting dressed, I walked downstairs to find my mom setting a plate of pancakes on the table.

"Hey mom."

"Oh hi. I thought you'd never wake up."

I bet you would like that.

"I made pancakes for breakfast. Hurry up and eat so you won't be late."

I sat at the table and quickly ate two pancakes. My mom has to go to work early so I walk to school. Luckily it was only two blocks away. 

I wonder if Dan is waiting for me.

I walked faster. Reaching the school gate, I scanned the campus. I looked everywhere. I sighed and walked to my first class. Science.

"Hey Phil!" I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder.

The voice didn't sound like Jack, so I turned around. In front of me, the chocolate brown eyed boy stood.

Dan.

I smiled.

"Hi!" I replied.

"Whats your first class?" he asked.

"Science." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh that sucks. I have Spanish. Hey after second period is break. Wanna hang out with me, Chris, and PJ?"

Does he really want ME to hang out with them?

"Will they mind?"

"No! Of course not! They like new people. Trust me, they're friendly."

"Okay! Where do you want to meet?" I asked.

Dan pointed toward the center of the quad.

"We usually meet there," he said.

What if Jack sees me?

"Alright thats cool. See you then!"

We waved and turned towards our first period class. I hated Science so much.

********

The bell rang for break and everyone rushed out the door.

Feels good to be out of there. Now where's Dan?

I walked out into the quad and spotted Dan with Chris and PJ.

"Hey," I said.

Dan looked at me and smiled warmly.

"Hi Phil! This is Chris and PJ. Chris, PJ, this is Phil."

"Nice to meet you," PJ said. 

Pj had curly light brown hair and bright green eyes. Chris was looking me up and down.

"Hey Dan, he's pretty cute. I like him. Nice to meet you," Chris said.

I laughed.

"Um thanks I guess."

"Don't worry, he's always like this," Dan said. 

"So, what classes do you have?" PJ asked.

"First science, Spanish, Math, PE, Art, Social Studies, then Language Arts."

"Cool! I have Art, Social Studies, and Language Arts with you!" PJ said.

Yay! Now I'll have someone to talk to.

Dan had all of the same classes except Science and PE. Chris had the same classes as PJ. The bell rang signaling the end of break.

"Math, yay!" Dan said sarcastically.

Chris and Pj headed towards their class together. I followed Dan to Math. Leaning against the wall, was Jack. Glaring at me, with a devilish smile.

*******************

It was the end of the day, and we were in Language Arts. The four of us sat at one table. I couldn't help but notice how PJ looked at Chris. I know they're friends but I felt like there was something more between them.

I'll ask Dan later.
