It was Monday, 6:45am, and the bright morning sun was shining through Dan's curtains lighting up his bedroom. As the faded rays of sunlight shone through his dark brown curtains they made his room light up in a chocolate colour, making everything look darker than it actually was.

There was a knock at his door, "Daniel!" a woman's voice called, "Daniel! Time to get up, your Mother and Father would like you and your brother, dressed and in the dining hall for breakfast in 30 minutes." It was Addie, one of their maids.

You see, the Howell's weren't your average family, the father, Mr Howell was head of and owned his own, design and branding business of furniture, or something along those lines, Dan could never remember what his father actually did. But this meant that they had a lot more money than the average person, allowing for them to live in a mansion, in the posh end of town, have many maids to do the housework for them and for Dan and his younger brother, Adrian, to be educated at a private school.

Even though Dan would have preferred to go to a public school, his mother had insisted that he went to a private school to ensure that 'his grades were higher than average'. In his opinion, the whole place was full of nerd's, wanna be Einstein's and those kids that don't want to be there but are forced to by their parents. The whole uniform was very tight and formal, a lot of the time it felt like cardboard to wear and was very uncomfortable.

It wasn't all bad though, he still had his best friend Phil. They had been best friends since they were young, probably because being a kid around their neighbourhood was no fun. The only people who seemed to live around there was, middle aged couples who were constantly cheating on one another and elderly people. Their families were the only ones with teenage kids.

Dan groaned, not wanting to leave the comfort of his bed, then he heard his door click open. "Come on Dan," Addie said sympathetically, "I know you don't want to get out of bed but you've got school today." She sighed, as she walked in his room and started to open the curtains letting bright light shine in and tidy up around the edges, all while Dan lay face first in his pillow. "Hurry, up Dan or you'll be late to meet your boyfriend" she chimed, knowing it would annoy Dan, and she was right.

The tired boys head shot up from the pillow, "He's not my boyfriend!" he protested in a rough tone as she ruffled his hair lazily.

Addie laughed "I know" she winked back at him as she walked out of the room closing the door behind her after shouting, "30 minutes!"

After getting up out of bed, Dan decided to go for a quick shower, so he shuffled over to his bathroom. After turning the shower on, it quickly warmed up and the whole room filled with steam, a good thing to wake him up, then he peeled off his boxers and got under the steaming hot water that was pounding out of the shower head. Relaxing and soaking his limbs for the day ahead.

When he finished showering, they boy dried and straightened his curly, chocolate locks. Dan hated his hair curly, he insisted that he looked like a Hobbit, but Phil disagreed, although he went with Phil's opinion on nearly everything, this was something that they had a major disagreement on.

Then he threw on his uncomfortable school uniform and headed down the various flights of stairs to where the dining hall was located. Walking in, Dan took his usual seat next to his younger brother and opposite his mother. "Good morning Daniel." His father spoke as he sipped his coffee, only glancing up from his newspaper.

"Morning" Dan muttered in response, smiling at his mother.

Looking down at the plate in front of him, the brown haired boy could tell that Addie had prepared his breakfast. It had 4 pieces of toast, covered in strawberry jam and various pieces of chopped orange and banana placed around the plate. He smiled, Addie knew what he liked and how to put him in a good mood for the rest of the day.

The conversation at the breakfast table was the same, boring one as usual. Both boys were asked how they were by their mother, what lessons they both had that day and if they'd done all of their homework. Then both boys were questioned by their father, asking if either of them had girlfriends yet, both denied.

Dan knew that Adrian was lying, and wore a smug grin on his face. He'd seen him in town and at school holding hands, hugging and kissing a girl from his brother's year called Holly. After a grinding from Dan asking questions about her, he had agreed to keep it a secret from their parents until Adrian thought he should tell them.

Although Dan told the truth, he was single, but he also avoided the fact that he was bisexual with a preference for guys. He did still find some girls attractive, but none of them really appealed to him as much as some guys did.

Once their mother had given the two boys a talk, saying how she didn't mind them being gay if they wanted to be, but try to be straight for their father's sake. As he run a successful business company, he didn't want either of his sons to be gay, as he thought it would affect the amount of sales and how much money he took in as wage.

Dan sighed, remembering that day, but yet he carried on eating his breakfast until he'd finished, then asking to be excused so he could go and finish getting ready for school.

Quickly, he ran his red hot straighteners though his slightly curling hair, then added most of a bottle of hairspray to it until he was happy with the style, before putting his tie on, grabbing his school bag and slinging it over his shoulder as he went downstairs to the kitchen to collect his lunch for the day and then left the house to walk down to the end of the road to meet Phil.
