Hello my strawberries and welcome back to And Then I Met Phil :)
Enjoy chapter 11
Dan's P.O.V.
After our little talk thing outside, we just sat there in silence for the rest of time.
We didn't really need to talk though.
The silence was fine.
It wasn't awkward.
It was peaceful.
But of course being in school and running on a schedule, our silence was ruined very quickly.
Before we knew it, the bell for the period to end had rung and it was time for our next lesson.
We both groaned softly and I leaned my head back against his chest.
"I don't want to go back in." I whined slightly.
Phil placed his lips on my hair and kissed softly. "Me either. But it's school."
"Don't remind me." I said, starting to get up.
I turn around to look at him. He has on puppy lips as he hold his hands out for me to grab.
I roll my eyes playfully and take his hands, helping him up.
He grins and kisses me. "Thanks babe."
My smile turns into a grin and I chuckle softly.
He takes my hand and we slowly but surely make our way back into the school.
As soon as the doors shut behind us, I feel everybody's eyes on me.
I tense up and hang my head low.
I feel Phil's grip tighten on my hand.
As we walk through the hall, I can feel every single pair of eyes burning into me.
"Phil..." I said quietly.
I look at Phil and I see his jaw clenched.
He's angry.
"Phil." I said a bit louder this time.
"What?" He snapped.
My eyes widened slightly, but they soon returned to their rightful size.
He looked horrified for a second. "Oh shit, Dan. I'm sorry."
I looked down and swallowed before looking back up at him and into his eyes.
"It-it's fine. Don't worry about it." I said, a fake smile creeping its way on to my face.
"Dan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you." He said in a kind of begging manner.
"I said it's fine Phil. I have to go." I said.
He released his grip on my hand and I took off in the opposite direction.
I kept my head down on the entire walk to my class.
When I finally arrived, I walked straight to the back where my seat was.
I sunk down in my chair and looked outside, zoning out into my own world.
I was soon brought out, however, by the saying of Phil's name.
"I heard Phil Lester is officially off the market." A girl named Diana said.
"Me too. It's a shame really. He's really good, if you know what I mean." Another said, Sarah, wiggling her eyebrows.
The girls giggled and I fidgeted slightly in my chair.
Maybe... Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
Maybe dating the bad boy wasn't the smartest idea I've had.
Maybe it's becoming too much.
Yeah, it's becoming way too much.
Our lesson began soon after and yet again, I was pulled into my own world.
When the bell finally rung, I sat there. I didn't even bother to get up.
And soon enough, the second bell had rung, meaning that I was late to class.
Great.
But I still didn't get up.
"Dan?" My teacher asked.
I looked up at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry Mrs. Collins. I'll be leaving." I said, slightly embarrassed, realizing I wasn't the only one in the room.
"Please wait, Dan. Something seems to be bothering you." She said sitting down in front of me.
I swallowed. Was I making it that obvious?
"Oh um, I'm fine Mrs. Collins. Really."
She eyed me slightly. "You know Daniel, I've been working here long enough to know when my students are struggling with something. Don't look at me like I'm your teacher right now. Look at me like I'm a friend. A friend who cares and wants to know what's wrong."
I bit my lip and swallowed the lump in my throat.
"I've starting seeing someone and ever since the word has gotten out, everybody's been giving me death glares. I'm really starting to doubt that this was a good idea." I said.
"Well Dan, do you really like this someone?" She asked.
I nodded. "I do Mrs. Collins. I actually really do."
"Then I see no problem. Who cares about what the other kids think? It's what makes you happy." She said smiling.
I thought about what she just said. Phil told me the exact same thing.
"You're right. Thank you Mrs. Collins."
She smiled. "If you ever need to talk, I'm always here. Now, come on, let me write you a pass to your next class."
As she writes me the pass, my mind starts to wander back.
Is it becoming too much or am I just letting it all get to my head?
Hopefully within in time, I'll be able to answer.
hello! :)
I hope you have enjoyed chapter 11 and I will see you soon with chapter 12
bye my strawberries!
