summer school // phan

6

It's was almost the end of school and I would soon be attending summer school with Dan as well as a few other students. I knew Dan wouldn't like it but for some reason I really wanted to be friends with him. He pushed me away but that made me want to be his friend more. I know that I sound absolutely mental but it makes sense to me. Dan and I were the exact opposite but we also seemed to be just the same. I was walking home after meeting with the guidance counsellor. I decided to get some food but I saw Dan through the window and walked in through a different door. I sat down on the opposite side of the building but he probably saw me anyway. I pulled out my earphones and ate my dinner in peace.

(Time skip to Monday)

I lay in my bed staring at the blank white ceiling above me. The soft sounds of wind, faint cars driving coming through the window. I was wide awake and had been just laying in my bed for a few hours. I thought of every possibility of what was going to happen after Dan found out we'd be at summer school together. I thought of every scenario of what would happen if Dan and I became friends, enemies and everything in between. I had eventually got tired and drifted to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I shut it off and lied in my bed until I realized that if I get up any later, I'll be late for school. I sat up even though I wanted to stay in my warm bed all day. I looked in the mirror but failed to see anything because I didn't have glasses or contacts in. I looked around blindly attempting to find my glasses because I didn't have energy to put in contacts yet. Looking in mirror I saw the grey
bags under my eyes. I couldn't do anything about it so I just got dressed, put in my contacts and headed off to school.

I was counting down the days until summer school. I really hope this plan works. I knew Dan didn't want friends but he intrigued me. I could see it in his chocolate brown eyes that he was much more than a boy wearing black. Most people just looked at him and saw an emotionless, dark, and mysterious guy but I saw a guy holding everything back and one day he might just explode of emotion. Although Dan asks like hates and doesn't care about school, he shows up for class and tries to get good grades which he wouldn't do if he didn't care.

I went to my first class which I was assigned a bunch of work but I didn't really care. I knew I'd get it done later anyway. My second class however was Science and Dan and I were still partners. I'm surprised Dan hasn't got a new partner yet because of how made he seems to be at me. Class was still boring as usual but Dan seemed a bit more talkative today. He actually said 'hi' to me and he never does that. I wonder what's changed his mood.

Dan's POV

I was ready a bit earlier than usual so I just went on Tumblr. Tumblr was actually the only social media I had. I didn't have anything else because I wouldn't follow anyone and I didn't want other people to follow me. With Tumblr I had an anonymous profile that nobody would know who I was. I actually created my account a while ago, danisonfire. (YES I KNOW ITS DANISNOTONFIRE I HAVE AN IDEA OKAY? I KNOW YOU ARE #TRIGGERED) It was actually quite simple, my name is Dan and my life was hell so danisonfire it is. I could've changed it but I didn't have any ideas.

I walked out the door, the sun instantly burning into my eyes. It was a nice walk to school, it was a bit warmer. During Science I actually talked to Phil even though I was rude to him he still seemed to be okay with talking to me.

Phil's POV

I didn't know if I should be mad at Dan or not. He said he couldn't be his friend, that he was bad for me. On one hand I guess he wasn't saying he didn't want to be my friend but he couldn't? Why couldn't he? But on the other hand, Dan brought back memories from my worst younger years. It hurt to even think about those times.

We were doing individual work and I decided to ask him something about the assignment. "What do we do for number 7?" He looked up into my eyes, he didn't look away, we just stopped and looked at each other for a few moments, he had brown-hazel eyes, they were actually quite pretty. He broke the stare as he looked down awkwardly, "uh-er...I-I don't know I was just about to do that" he stuttered. We started to talk it over and figured it out. I'm surprised he didn't just ignore me.

Summer school was almost here and I was terrified that Dan would hate me. He would know I didn't come because I failed, I had excellent grades. I was almost always studying since I had nothing else to do. I really hope this turns out well.
