Dan Howell, one of Lockwood High's most infamous bullies. Phil Lester, a quiet, likeable year 11 and also Dan's main victim. When Dan gets a low grade on a History paper, his teacher makes Phil his tutor. But of course they do more than study...

Dan is forced into going to a summer camp in the country side of Britain, his mother feels Dan is irresponsible, and would only be getting drunk and fucking about if he stayed at home. WRITTEN 2013. (I have since, gone through and attempted to improve on it).

Phil doesn't talks. Well, not anymore. The last time he said something, was when he didn't hate himself. And that was a long time ago. But now, everything is different. He must struggle with depression, whilst new boy Dan Howell desperately attempts to win him over. [Warning: this could be triggering at some points]

Phil Lester is sweet and cute; known for his kindness and enthusiasm. Dan Howell is a tough, cold outsider; known as the school's stereotypical 'bad boy'. But if he's so bad, then why on earth did he rescue Phil Lester and give him a smile which would melt anyone's heart?

Dan gets saved from an oncoming truck that would have taken his life if he wasn't pulled back at the last second. After being saved he suddenly can see numbers floating above everyone he passes by and quickly figured out that those numbers represent the lifespan of that person counting down in seconds. He finds someone who's numbers are lower than everyone else's and realizes he is going to die within a couple of hours. He choices to stay with him as he watches the numbers count down, and hopefully by the time those numbers reach 0, he will be able to stop whatever is going to kill him and save his life.

Phil Lester had become unaware of the world and all of his surroundings, only being able to focus on one thing. Dan Howell. Everything changes when he realises all he knew wasn't as it seemed.

Dan is known for being a fuckboy at his school. Accepting dates from whoever offered. Most of the time girls but very rarely he would get the closeted guy who asks him so he can figure himself out. Dan gets made fun of when that occurs but sometimes he prefers the guys more. He gets asked out on a daily basis. Only going out for them for a couple of days which usually results in a ton of making out and most of the time a one night stand. Dan has never truly been in a relationship. His longest was probably around 6 days but other then that he's never been in a long term relationship because he feels that being with one person for the rest of your life is pointless and over rated considering he gets bored with whoever he's with. He never expected that those feelings would change his life choices when he runs into a animal loving, anime nerd who smiles at everything and makes him feel something he's never felt towards someone before... Feelings. Warning: Mature language, boyxboy, smut

Never interacting with anyone, showing up to school with bruised knuckles and being known for most likely to receive the death penalty when older, Phil Lester is not who everyone rumors him to be. To everyone he is either just some guy who passes them in the hallways or some crazy, psycho murderer who has already been to jail a few times when really he just keeps to himself. He's always been on his own, never allowing himself to make any friends. He stays quiet and rarely speaks to anyone. Not by choice though. On one hand the whole school is afraid of him from the rumors about him causing him to keep to his own. On the other had he would love to go out, make friends, date people, but once he starts caring for someone he is the one who has to suffer in a way no one else has ever suffered, and it explains why he consistently comes to school with bruised hands and bloody knuckles. Based on the novel Bruiser by Neal Shusterman , all credit goes to them!

broken; 1. having been fractured or damaged and no longer in one piece or in working order 2. (of a person) having given up all hope; despairing Broken.
