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?

They say delinquents are harsh, unforgivable. Devilish and careless. And you'd be right, especially when it comes to Dan Howell. The entire school live in fear of this Year 11 student, who can seemingly do whatever he wants because he's just that dangerous. However, there is that one person who doesn't cower to the side of the corridor when the delinquent walks passed - Phil Lester. The school's Head Boy - happy, confident. Has his entire life at his feet. The two have never really gotten along, Dan being so mischievous that it always annoyed Phil. After years of tension between the two opposites though, something in Dan's attitude has changed, him going from class clown to dangerous delinquent over the summer before their final year in high school - and he's definitely caught Phil's curious eye now. Phil sees something new in the delinquent, a secret side that no one thought existed in Dan. So what could possibly happen if they genuinely tried to get to know each other? TWO ENDINGS: Happy End or Dead End?

In which Dan's an arsonist and Louise thinks he needs more friends.

Dan hated his life and that wasn't even an understatement. Each day he wished he had never woken up as he was tormented by those who were meant to love him. Just because they were meant to love him doesn't mean they did. He was suffering and was so close to giving up. Then he met Phil. Phil changed everything.
