Hi, my name is Phil Lester. I'm eight years old, and I have this friend. His name is Dan, Dan Howell. I really like him, but others don't. It doesn't seem fair. I love hanging out with Dan, who has pretty brown eyes and a great smile, but no one will appreciate it because of who they think Dan is. He's gay. And because of that, he's bullied on a constant basis.
I may be only eight, but I know that's not okay. I want to stand up for Dan, and show him that he's fine the way he is. I just don't know how...

pretend (phan)
Dan Howell was the typical spoiled, rich boy with butlers driving him to operas and maids making him nachos for breakfast. Phil Lester, however, was the opposite. Barely any money and deadbeat parents, he lives in a bad neighborhood in a gross apartment with cat hair covering the carpet and an odd roommate. And then Dan's parents decide he needs to love someone rather than himself, and when Phil shows up at his mansion steps, Dan's parents grow fond of him- so much that the two are exchanging rings and Phil is moving in with his new spouse. They tell Dan he should give it a few months, to be patient, and if he still doesn't like him then they'll sign the divorce papers and call it quits. Marriage isn't perfect, right? Well this one is the exact example. But they could always pretend.Complete
