phil lester is one of the most popular kids at school. in a game of truth or dare, he is dared to kiss dan howell, the weird quiet kid that no one seems to talk to or even acknowledges. //lower case intended// also, excuse the weird writing in some of the chapters. im trying to go back and fix them, but it's taking a while so :/

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?
