Phil Lester is a quiet, anxious seventeen year old who never quite fits in, and his entire school finding out his secret when he was sixteen didn't help anything.
Then, he moves a new school.
Here, he meets Dan Howell, every teacher's pet but who had a much different side when he is alone, bitter and scared.
They have no idea that the other exists, until second period music, where Dan plays a G on the piano.
*possible triggers will be posted at beginning of chapter (: x*
Dan is the senior that everyone looks up to, he is charming, witty and sometimes even nice.
Phil is the sophomore that is constantly being bullied for being who he his, a boy who likes boys.
Roles seem to switch when Dan saves Phil's life, and finds himself falling for the younger boy. Dan is the new target for torment and beatings. But unlike Phil, Dan doesn't handle it very well, and finds himself spiraling downhill, with what seems like no way back to the top.
