The project ~ a phan au

One

Dan wasn't listening again.
Dan never listens.
He doesn't care about stupid school.
He doesn't care about useless  his future.
All he cares about is getting home, sitting in his comfy bed and listening to deep meaningful music.
Dan doesn't care.

The teacher was going on about something that Dan was not interested in.
He couldn't actually be the slightest bit interested it was that boring.
Suddenly a loud knock filled the room and everyone's eyes turned towards the wooden door which was slowly opening.

A boy slowly entered.
A boy Dan had never seen before.
He had jet black hair.
light blue eyes.
And pale white skin.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the boy.
And he looked terrified the poor little thing.

"Sorry sir," he said softly, his cheeks turning to slightest shade of pastel pink.
"Oh it's fine so class we have a new student joining us everyone please be nice to Phil," sir said with a smile.

The whole room was instantly filled with a band of whispers.
Dan hung his head low.

"Phil go sit on that table at the back next to Amy," sir said pointing to the table behind me.
That was the only spare space in the classroom.
Dan had to sit next to this girl called abbey and she really did get on his nerves.
She was friends with Amy who was behind Dan and they wouldn't stop talking and being idiots.
Dan just ignores them.
Phil quickly  walked over and Dan sneakily watched him out of the corner of his brown eye.
Phil slung his black bag under the wooden desk and sat down.

"Hi I'm Amy," Amy said.
"I'm Phil."
Dan rolled his eyes and turned his focus back down to the grey desk.

*
The bell rang for break.
Dan stood up grabbing his black bag.
He carefully reached into his full pocket and slowly pulled out his black phone and stuck his white ear buds into his ears and pressed play.
He walked out of the classroom.
As he got further down the long white corridor, he noticed a big swarm of girls surrounding something.
Dan just looked down and walked past, but just before he was about half way he looked up and got a glimpse of what the girls we're surrounding.
It was Phil the 'new guy.'
He looked pretty scared as the girls bombarded his with questions.
And Dan saw that phil's eyes were screaming for help.
He sighed.
This new guy better appreciate this!

Dan parted the crowd and walked through.
He grabbed phil's wrist and pulled him out, walking quickly.
All the girls gave Dan dirty looks but he didn't care.
Some of the annoying  girls started shouting things back at him as he walked away still holding phil's wrist.
Dan just stuck his middle finger up at them and turned around the corner with Phil.

"Why did you save me?" Phil asked once Dan had stopped walking.
"Because they were annoying you," Dan said.
"I'm Phil by the way what your-"
"It doesn't matter about my name I didn't save you to make friends with you I saved you to be nice," Dan said putting his ear bud back in.
Phil fell silent as Dan walked away.
"Wait!"
Dan turned around.
"What lesson do we have next?"
"Maths."
"Where is it?"
"You will find it," Dan said before turning around and quickly walking away.

Dan walked.
He just kept walking.
He had no reason to be walking.
And he had no where in particular he was walking too.
He was just walking.

Further down the corridor was Phil.
Phil was talking to a guy named Henry.
Phil knew what he wanted to ask Henry.
And he wanted an answer for his question.
"Who's that guys that's in our set he has brown hair and sits in front of me?" Phil asked.
Henry thought for a moment.
"You mean Dan howell?"
"I think so.."
"Why are you asking about him?" Henry asked squirming a bit uncomfortably.
"Because I was surrounded by a group of girls and he came in and saved me and then I asked for his name but he just said he didn't want to make friends and he walked away...." Phil's voice trailed off as he looked down at the floor.
"Oh don't worry he's always been like that... At least he has changed slightly."
Phil looked up at Henry.
"What do you mean 'changed'?"
"Well he used to just be a ginormous bully that the whole school feared, nobody had the guts to stand up to him or even talk to him, not even the teachers! And if you did get in his way let's just say once a boy ended up in hospital because of Dan," Henry looked scared.
"Really..." Phil was unsure.
"Yeah it may seem weird since he saved you."
"Yeah it does," Phil said nodding his head.

The bell rang.

*
For the rest of the classes Dan couldn't help feel like he was being watched.
He could feel someone in that classroom staring at him and whenever Dan looked around to see who it was, everyone just seemed to be either staring into space or listening to the boring teacher.

*
It was history.
Dan hated history.
Dan hated everything.
But there was one good thing about stupid history.
And that is that he gets to sit on a desk on his own.
No distractions.
Nobody trying to start a conversation.
He could just be alone in his own thoughts without being interrupted.
What about the new guy he might move next to me!
Dan thought.
But his worries disappeared once he realised the 'new guy' was not in his history set.

*
It was lunch.
Lunch was okay for Dan.
He just really ate lunch on his own and listened to music.
Nothing new.

Dan walked outside.
He hated the outdoors.
He hated everything.
He sat down on a grassy banking and pulled out a sandwich from his bag.
Usually he can't be bothered to eat.
But today he thought we would have a bit of food since he seemed unusually hungry.
He took a bite of his sandwich and looked across the empty field.
Suddenly he felt that feeling when somebody is either behind you or staring at you from a distance.
Dan had the urge to turn around so he turned his head.
He met eye contact with light blue eyes from a distance.
It was the 'new guy'
Suddenly the new guy realised Dan was staring back and turned around and started talking to the guy that was stood next to him.
Dan thought it was weird.
But he just shrugged it off.
He shrugged off a lot of things in life.

*
Finally the bell rang.
It was the end of hell.
Time for Dan to finally escape to his cave which is his bedroom.

*
Dan was slowly walking down from school.
He had his ear buds in and had music playing at its loudest volume so it blasted out his small ears.
Dan was mixed in his thoughts and emotions as he walked and he wasn't paying attention.
He was looking down at the floor as he walked.
Suddenly he collided with somebody in front of him.
He looked up.
"I'm so so-" dan's voice was cut off as he saw who it was.
"New guy?" Dan questioned.
Phil nodded his head and smiled.
Why do I always have to bump into him?!
"You should really watch where your going," Phil said.
"Well it's wasn't my f-"
"Okay it's just I don't want you to get hurt."
Dan stared at Phil like he was an alien from out of space.
Why doesn't he want me to get hurt?!
"Why are you even walking down here?" Phil asked.
"Because I live down here," Dan said rolling his eyes.
"Oh really where do you-"
"I'm not going to tell you where I live, I'm not here to talk to you goodbye," dan said walking straight passed Phil.
Dan never looked back but he could feel somebody watching him until he entered his house.

.....
Thanks for reading chapter one!
I was so excited to write this story and I'm loving writing it so far.
Also between some chapters I will be putting some quotes to explain how a character is feeling and all that shit.
It's a different style to how I usually write but I hope you don't mind it being in third person instead of first.
Thanks for reading!!!
