All I'm gonna say is that this is based on a true story. Of course, not a true story involving Dan and Phil, but someone else in my life. But it's a funny scenario and makes an interesting fic.
Running late into his lab, Dan Howell was red in the face as he took his seat with the usual group he sat with. After a glare from the teacher, he continued with his lecture on DNA and how it is built.
"Now, please work together in your group on the activities on page 247 in your book." he announced to the class before sitting back down at his desk.
Dan turned to his table, ready to start on the work, while the rest of the group started to chat about nothing related to the class at all.
"I can't believe Jessica actually likes me. Like she's so above me, how could she actually find me worthy of her time?" Justin, one of the more popular kids in Dan's year, announced.
"You're bullshitting this. No way she actually likes you. She'd go for Dan before you." Tim countered.
Dan looked up at the mention of his name, and the two boys laughed.
"Oh what, you seriously thought I meant it? You're the biggest faggot this school has ever seen, of course she would never like you." Justin said rudely.
Dan looked back down at his book, trying to come up with something witty to say back, when Tim chimed back in.
"Let's play a game with the gay Justin. Let's see if we can guess what other faggot he actually likes."
"Why don't we just go back to the work?" Dan said with a chuckle and a shy smile, before Tim cut him off.
"What, trying to hide the fact you're a flaming fag? No chance, so you might as well play."
Dan was in fact bisexual, but he hasn't even written it on paper yet. No way he would admit it to these assholes. The torment he would get was unimaginable.
"Let's see... There's Mr. King of the gays in year 10, Kyle Pentent. He the apple of your eye?" Justin mocked, with kissy faces to add on.
"I'm not gay. I doubt Kyle is too because I see him making out with some other year 10 all the time." Dan retorted.
"Oh I know exactly who you like! Phil Lester! You guys are basically the same person so it would be like fucking yourself!" Tim chimed in.
Dan took a minute, as the name sounded familiar but he couldn't picture the face with it. However, the boys took this as shy silence, and laughed their asses off in victory.
"HA! DAN DOES LIKE IT UP THE ASS FROM HIS TWIN!" Justin yelled, high-fiving Tim.
"I don't even know who that is!" Dan shouted, but it was too late. There was no way he could convince these two dickheads that he wasn't. "I wish I was dead." Dan thought to himself, imagining the torments that were going to come about from this.
Tim interrupted his train of thought with the worst idea ever thought up. "Let's tell him! He's in our next class anyway. Don't know why you tried to lie when we've all been in the same class since the beginning of the term."
Dan's stomach dropped at the thought of him knowing. He didn't even know the kid and yet he knew this was not going to end well.
The end of the class felt like it came too soon, as Tim rushed to French to tell Phil the "shocking" truth. Dan could barely walk to class, knowing what was about to happen when he got into the room. Slowly shuffling to his doom, he walked into the classroom and looked straight ahead to his seat. Quietly pulling out his book, he turned around to look at the disaster behind him. Tim was pointing at him and the kid next to him, a kid who seriously could be a long lost brother, was looking right at him with disgust underlying in his expression. Dan swiftly turned his head back around to avoid eye contact and stared at his homework, feeling the two pairs of eyes constantly glancing at the back of his head.
The next hour felt like living hell as he tried to concentrate on the lesson while feeling his heart crush to pieces. There's no way anyone would believe him now that he wasn't gay. No witty retort in the world could save him from the future that was in front of him from this.
Once the class ended, Dan threw his books and materials in his bag and tried to sprint out the door, but Tim was just a bit faster and forced him to a halt in the aisle.
"It's so funny, the first thing that came out of Phil's mouth once I told him was 'Ew.'." He laughed as he turned around and started leaving the class.
Dan stood there for a minute, watching Phil pass through the doorway, trying to figure out why he would say such a thing. It's not like they had ever met before, as this was the first time he ever remembered seeing him in the school, let alone in a class with him. What could he do to him? And with that question, Dan knew exactly what he got himself into this time.
I'm gonna stop there with this chapter, but let me know if you like this plot so far! Trust me, it gets a lot worse/crazier from here.
