Hi! So this is going to hopefully be a chaptered fic, focusing on Phan but idek. Don't expect regular uploads, I suck at continuity. Anyways, thanks for reading!
TW/ swearing and self harm/suicide
Dan sat at his table idly tapping his pen against the paint splattered table. He pouts out his lip and lets out a jet of air which ruffles his fringe. He looks up to the clock on the wall ticking away agonizingly slow. When will this fucking class start? He wonders to himself.
Just then, the door the the empty room bursts open and in stumbles Phil Lester, the annoying boy a year ahead of him. Well, annoying wasn't the right word, more like peculiar. Phil looks around the room like a deer in the headlights.
"Hi,"Dan mumbles waving slightly to the boy.
"Is this the art room?" Phil asks, panting slightly.
"Yea, this is the place," Dan says quietly accidentally flicking the pen across the room. He curses something under his breath and yawns slightly.
"Cool, thanks...erm...," Phil flusters, trying to remember Dan's name. Dan cracks a small smile.
"Dan," He says. Phil's face ignites and he ducks his head.
"Yea, thanks Dan," Phil says, smiling sitting down at the table at the other end of the room. The two sit in awkward silence until the bell rings and everyone walks in. Chasity Smith*, Phil's good friend, walks over and plops down next to him.
"Morning dweeb," She laughs throwing a arm around Phil's shoulder. Phil laughs and pushes it off.
"How was your weekend?" He asks, waiting for the teacher to walk into the room.
"Me and Emma met up, too bad you couldn't come, it was a real rager," She says sarcastically. Phil laughs. Chasity rocks back on the chair and puts her hands behind her head looking up at the painted ceiling.
"How's Emma?" Phil asks nervously.
"Annoying as ever," Chasity says with a big grin on her freckled face.
"Really?" Phil asks, poking at the sarcastic girl next to him. She sets her chair back down and turns to face Phil.
"You know, you've got a chance with her if you want! She fancies you, I hope you know!" Chasity says, a ode of seriousness in her voice which makes Phil get nervous. Chasity is never serious. Not to mention there is no way Phil will go out with Emma, she's nice and all but there is not much going on up there...
"Well, if you say so maybe I'll ask her out, but I'm interested in someone else at the moment," Phil says casually. Chasity gets a look of intrigue on her face and places her hand under her chin her eyes widining.
"Ooooo, who!?" She asks, poking Phil's arm.
"Not telling," He laughs, swatting her hand away. She rolls her big green eyes.
"Come on Phil! We've been friends for forever! Just tell me!" She says, exasperatedly. Phil grins and shakes his head.
"Not yet, not until he-," Phil cuts off his sentence quickly his face flushing.
"He?" Chasity asks, looking confused. "Do you have a crush on a guy!?" Chasity squeals. Phil flushes.
"Maybe," He squeaks. He looks up and see Dan staring at him, their eyes met and Dan flushes and ducks his head.
"Oh Phil now you have to tell me!" She giggles. Phil shakes his head, feeling a sharp pain growing in his head.
"Maybe later, right now I need to go to the nurse," Phil mumbles rubbing his head.
"Oh no, here I have some Depon," She says, passing Phil a pill. Phil eagerly swallows the pill rubbing his temples. Just as he's about to thanks Chasity Ms. Ruth walks in shaking her multicolored curls.
"Morning children!" She calls dropping her bag and jacket on her desk. "I've got some big news," She says eagerly, grabbing a notebook from her bag. "Ok, everyone up and stand on the back wall," She chirps clapping her hands happily. Phil and Chasity exchange a look, but go along. "Alright, so yesterday the principal approved me year-long project! So basically I'll be pairing you up into twos, and then giving you a medium I randomly chose and it's up to you to use that said medium in a way that it's not typically used for!" She practically squeals. "I'll be giving you more information next class, but until then I'll pair you up today and give you this class to brainstorm and once a week you can work on it with your partner," Ms. Ruth says. Then she starts listing off people two at a time. Chasity gets paired up with some drunken year 12, douche bag and she mimes shooting herself with he almost barfs all over the pastels they've been assigned. Finally she says Phil's name... then Dan's. Phil's stomach clenches and he walks over to Dan. They walk over to a table, then Ms. Ruth assigns them watercolors and the bell rings.
