I'm soooooo sorry I've been away for ages! I got caught up in a load of over due homework and then my internet decided to die on me and FUCKING SHERLOCK happened (ASDFGHJKLSDBNSDFBO) and yeah... it's been busy would be an understatement :( But I'm back now and I hope I'll be able to upload quicker :)

Phil's POV

"Phiiiiiiil, get up! Or you'll be late for school"

I mumble something into my pillow that I doubt my dad hears as a reply. With hair sticking up in all directions and eyes bleary from sleep, I roll out of my bed. My eyes slowly flicker up to the clock that reads 7:30... shit! As if someone has thrown a bucket of ice cold water on me, I jump up and begin running round desperately trying to get ready for school. I plug in my straighteners, fling open the wardrobe door and pillage inside to try and find my clothes.

Finally, 20 minutes, slightly messing hair and one stubbed toe later I'm just about ready. I grab my bag up from the floor, sprint out my bedroom door, run down the stairs (well... more stumbling and half falling) and make it to the door. I stop dead just as I go to open it, step back and take a few breathes to compose myself. Once calmed a little I, more slowly this time, open the door and allow the surprisingly bright autumn morning sunlight the beam in. Stepping outside, I close the door behind me and walk up to the bus stop- it's not too far from my house. I make it just in time before the bus drives off and take my usual place at the back. I put my earphones into my ears, turn my ipod up full volume and lose myself in my music and daydreaming.

I'm pulled back to reality when the bus jerks forward to a halt. My eyes glance out the dirty window and tell me we're at the school gates. Almost as soon as my first foot as touches the ground of the outside I'm surrounded by people. Not just 'friends' but everyone; it seems like half the flipping school has captured me in a death circle. I smile falsely at them and (as everyone so awfully put it) turned my swag on- remind me to never say that again- and strutted through the crowd who practically fall at my feet.

Why's everyone acting like this? I'm not normally surrounded by THIS many mindless idiots...

As fairly high pitched squeal stands out from the general murmuring and I spin around to see a very (in my opinion) under-clothed Carrie standing right behind me

"Phil! C'mon Phil! Hurry up! Get your fucking arse over here"

She grabs my hand and, before I know it, I'm being dragged out the crowd, inside the school door and towards the main corridor. For the short, skinny girl she is Carrie is surprisingly strong and pushes people out the way. I notice she manages to elbow a first year directly in the eye... it takes all my will power to look away and act like I didn't care, like I was higher than them.

Finally we reach the center of the main corridor (or The Street as my snobby head teacher likes to call it) and Carrie forcefully shoves me forward. I stumble slightly than regain my practiced, sassy, upturned nose poise... only to find myself in the middle of a very big circle. What seems like the entire school has gathered in The Street and formed a circle that I have just been pushed right into the middle of. But than I look up and my heart sinks. Over on the other side stands Dan, looking just as confused but pretending to be cool as I was. I start to realise why this is happening.

Oh please let me be wrong

Some guy, a sixth former in the year above me I think, steps forward and holds his hand up. Almost instantly the crowd go quiet and all eyes are on me and Dan.

"Tomorrow" the guy announces in a booming voice which I'm surprised the teachers on the other side of the school don't hear "The two biggest rivals of this whole fucking school, will meet hear at 8 am for the biggest fight you people will ever see!"

The guy continued babbling about how 'fucking awesome' this was going to be but I barely even knew he was there anymore. There was just one thought racing in my head

I was going to have to fight Dan...
