I'm going to be doing P.O.V.'s from now on just so it doesn't get confusing... Hope that's okay with you guys! :D
Onto the chapter!
Phil's P.O.V.
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
Goes the alarm clock. I groan and reach out my hand, whacking the clock and snuggling back into my pillow, only to be interrupted by my mum.
"Come on Phil! You have to get up! School starts in an hour!" She chirped out from downstairs.
I groaned once again before sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I yawned and stretched out my arms before lazily climbing out of my comfortable bed and walking into the bathroom for a shower.
I emerged from the steamy room and walked over to my wardrobe, picking out some clothes. Nothing special. Just some black skinny jeans with one of my many colorful t-shirts. I dry off and get changed before walking back into the bathroom to straighten my hair...
"Phil! Are you up?!" My mum called once again.
"Yes mum!" I called back, still straightening my hair.
I heard a knock on my door before my mother walked in.
"Sweetie, your father and I are going to be at work a little later than usual." She said regretfully.
"Okay." I said, not bothering to look at her.
She frowned slightly. "Is everything okay sweetheart?" She asked, leaning against the bathroom door slightly.
"No mum, everything is not fine. Your son gets bullied every goddamn day for being fucking gay." I thought.
I looked at her and smiled slightly. "Yeah mum. I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" She asked once more.
"Yes." I said, unplugging my straightener from the wall.
"Okay... Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs." She kissed my cheek. "Have a good day at school."
"I'll try but no promises." I mumbled.
We walked down the stairs and I walked into the kitchen while my mum headed towards the front door. I guess my dad already left... Doesn't surprise me really.
"Bye Phil." She called before walking out the door.
I sighed and sat down, eating the breakfast my mum left for me. Once I finished, I placed the bowl in the sink as my phone buzzed.
"Hey mate! I'm waiting outside for ya! Hurry your ass up!" -Chris
I chuckled slightly before slipping the phone into my pocket and grabbing my backpack and walking out the door, locking it behind me.
I jumped into the passenger side of the car, noticing PJ and Louise in the back.
"Hey guys." I said, closing the door.
"Hey mate. Ready for another day at the hell?" PJ asked, chucking slightly.
Louise hit him slightly. "It's not that bad. Besides, I heard we're getting a new student."
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Really?" I asked.
She nodded. "Yeah. 17-year-old boy from Manchester." She said, checking her phone.
"Zoe and Alfie are already there." PJ said, reading over Louise's shoulder.
"Ever heard of privacy PJ?" She asked, mockingly angry.
"Nope." He said jokingly, popping the 'p'.
Chris and I chuckled as he continued to drive. I let my head fall back against the headrest and let my mind wander...
"Phil?" Louise asked, snapping me out of my haze.
"Mmm? Oh what? Sorry Louise." I said, blushing slightly.
She giggled. "What were you thinking about the entire time? We're at school already."
"Really? Already? I was just dozing off and thinking about how I don't want to be here."
She giggled slightly once again. "It'll be fine. Come on." She said, pulling me out of the car.
We made our way through the hallways I've grown to know over the past 3 and 1/2 years of being here. I made my way to my locker to get my books for the first 3 periods until I can reach my locker again.
I then quickly make my way to my first class, avoiding Alex and Charlie as hard as I can. Thankfully I made it there without any problems. I actually stopped to speak to Zoe and Joe on the way.
"Hey Phil." PJ said, sitting down in front of me before turning around to face me.
I smiled. "Hey Peej."
"Excited for maths?" He asked jokingly.
"Who's ever excited for maths?" I answered, chuckling.
The period went painstakingly slow before the bell for second rang, initialing that I can leave maths and head to English.
I actually do decent in english and the teacher and I like each other... Not like that as she is a woman but we have a good relationship. actually, out of every teacher at this school, I think she's my favorite. I have Ms. Jenkins. She is very sweet and caring. A lot of kids really like her, some more than others though...
"Please take out your textbooks and turn to page 339 and read from page 339 to 350. Then please do the questions that are following it. You have the entire class period to do it. You may work with a partner." She said smiling before returning to her chair to finish her work.
Zoe and I instantly turned towards each other and began reading together.
"So, have you met the new kid yet?" I asked, looking at her.
She shook her head. "No... but I heard it's a boy. Nothing else."
I nodded. "Louise told me that this morning on the way to school. She said he moved from Manchester." I said.
"Maybe one of his parents got relocated or something... But I'm excited to meet him." She said smiling.
I chuckled slightly. "Yeah... me too."
The bell for third rang some time later and we all packed our bags and filed for the door. My eyes widened when I saw Alex and Charlie waiting for me. I tried to turn and walk the other way quickly but they grabbed my and shoved me against a locker. I groaned in pain.
"What's wrong Lester? Did the shove hurt?" Alex teased me.
I didn't answer. He pulled me back before slamming me into the locker harder. I groaned out again in pain.
"P-please, s-stop." I whimpered.
They chuckled. "You're pathetic." The bell rang. Shit, I'm late. They released me. "We'll finish you later." And with that they ran off before they got caught.
I quickly made my way to Chemistry, trying to ignore the pain in my back. When I finally made it, I quickly and quietly made my way in and to my seat, right next to a very worried looking Joe.
"You alright dude?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, just lost." I said.
He furrowed his eyebrows. "How did you get lost? We've been-" He was cut off.
"LESTER! SUGG! STOP TALKING!" The teacher croaked.
I sighed softly and leaned back, wincing slightly at the pain.
About halfway through the lesson, there was a knock on the door.
The principle and a young man walked in. I don't recognize who he is.
The teacher and principle talked for a few moments before he left the room, leaving the teacher and person standing there.
"Class, please welcome our new student Daniel Howell." He said.
"Hi Daniel." We all said.
He looked down and blushed slightly. "Please, call me Dan." He said.
"Dan, why don't you go and take a seat by Phil." He said before returning to his lesson.
I kept quiet as he made his way over and sat down in the empty seat next to me.
"Hi mate, I'm Joe." Joe said from behind me. "And here's my friend Phil." He said.
I looked over in his direction taking in his features. He smiled shyly. "Hi." He said.
I looked back in front of, as if I looked like I was paying attention to the lesson even though I was really day dreaming. But I wasn't day dreaming about anything, no, I was day dreaming about he boy next to me, Dan.
His beautiful tan complexion. His chocolate brown eyes and soft looking hair. I just want to touch it, it looks so soft. God, why am I so weird?
The bell rang only 15 minutes later and we all got up and left the classroom, myself heading to my locker with that boy Dan on my mind...
One thing I know for sure is that I want to get to know him better and see what he is like...
