A/N: This is inspired by A Typical Teenage Love Song by Tate McRae. Teen!Phan (obviously lol) Jock!Dan and
Outcast!Phil

I didn't know until I saw him. There's just something about him that drew me in. Maybe it was his dazzling brown eyes, or his infectious laugh, or the way he can leave a whole room of people speechless just by being in it. I just know there was something about Dan Howell that grabbed me from the start.

He and I are polar opposites. He's the popular jock and I'm the quiet emo who sits in the back. He's something, I'm nothing. And so my dreams of being with Dan will have to remain dreams.

Or so I thought.

One fateful day, the first day of senior year to be exact, when I was just sitting in science letting Patrick Stump's magical voice whisk me away from the cruel reality, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see a familiar dimpled smile and mess of curls.

"Is this seat taken?" Spoke the beautiful voice of Dan Howell. At a loss for words, I simply shook my head no, to which Dan began to sit down. I tried to return to my music but it was hard when I could feel someone staring at me the whole time. I took out an earbud and turned to see Dan looking at me with his gorgeous brown eyes.

"I like your shirt." I look down and realize I'm wearing my favorite Muse t-shirt. Dan smiles thoughtfully. "That's my favorite band."

"Mine too!" I exclaim. Dan chuckles at my outburst and I shrink back in embarrassment.

"I can tell. What's your favorite song?"

"Sunburn."

"No way, me too!!" He says with a grin. We spend the whole rest of the block talking and laughing like old pals.

As the end of class nears Dan and I have settled into a comfortable silence, him scribbling something on a piece of paper and me lost in my own thoughts. I never imagined that he'd ever want to be near me, let alone have a full on conversation with me. It turns out we have more in common than I'd previously thought. We both like Muse, Fall Out Boy, Pokémon, Mario Kart, and the color black. He's just as nice as I expected him to be., maybe more. It's must be a dream, nothing this amazing ever happens in reality.

When the bell rings, Dan hands me the paper he'd been scribbling on with a huge grin. "I'll see you around Phil." I wave goodbye shyly as he walks out the door. I collect my things and head to my next class.

Once I take a seat in my english class, I slowly unfold the paper with shaky hands. My heart almost stops when I read what is written on it

326-263-7445
Text me xx
(Don't try calling that number it just translates to dan-and-phil lol)

I quickly enter it into my phone and make a mental note to text Dan later. I do my best to ignore the way my stomach flutters as I read over the two kisses at the end.

I try to keep my thoughts off of Dan as I get through my school day. But it is exceedingly difficult as he's in 4 of my 8 classes and my lunch. I see him laughing with Chris and Pj in History, taking notes in Maths, chatting with the other football players in Lunch, I can't escape him. I try to avoid staring but it's extremely hard when he seems to emanate light on his own. I can't keep my eyes off of him no matter how hard I try.

At one point he noticed me looking and gave me a small smile and wave. I returned the gesture and turn back around with a blush blooming on my cheeks.

Later that day...
