Yay! Welcome back to the second chapter! If you have any suggestions please leave a review or even message me I love hearing from you guys! This story is all original writing plz don't copy! Also all of the other students names aside from Dan,Phil,Chris, and PJ are FAKE
Also this chapter is kinda sad but still really sweet and might suck because I have writers block. Sorry! ^_^ Okay let's get on with the next chapter!
Phil POV:
I walked up the stairs and ended up bumping into someone.
"O-o-oh s-s-sorry." I said as I soon realized what I had just done.
"You better be Lester." I heard the person hiss.
Oh crap. I realized who the voice belonged to. It was none other than James Hastings, another member of Dylan's 'group'.
"Haven't seen you in a while Lester how long has it been? Huh? Two months?" He asked, running a hand through his messy blonde hair.
I nodded, looking down at my feet. I was slightly relieved that I had run into James and not Dylan because James unlike the other members of his group didn't physically hurt me. He normally just throws a few insults.
James laughed then suddenly his phone rang. He picked up and began talking. As he was slightly preoccupied I took this as a chance to leave. But as I began to walk up the stairs he grabbed me. "You're not going anywhere Lester." He murmured and hung up the phone.
He pulled me back and I just turned and made a run for it. I ran down the hall and took a different route to my dorm. I arrived at the door, slightly winded and out of breath. I unlocked the door to find Dan sitting on his bed reading the note I left.
Dan turned around and smiled "There you are Phil."
"S-s-sorry I j-j-just w-went d-down t-to o-one of m-my c-classrooms." I said honestly, sitting down on my bed.
Dan raised an eyebrow "You seem out of breath did you run here?"
I nodded "Y-y-yeah I r-r-ran into J-J-James."
"He didn't give you any trouble did he?" Dan asked.
I shook my head. I heard Dan sigh in relief "Ok good."
"H-h-how w-w-w-was y-your f-f-friend? I-i-is h-he a-a-alright?" I asked, sitting up on my bed.
"Oh yeah he'll be fine he just had a little fever that's all." Dan laughed.
Switch To Dan's POV:
Phil and I talked for a few minutes when out of the blue Phil broke into a coughing fit.
"You alright?" I asked, worried he was getting sick.
Phil nodded "I-i-i'm f-f-fine."
"You sure?" I asked. He nodded again.
After a few minutes of sitting in a comfortable silence there was a loud knock at the door, disrupting both of thoughts. I walked towards the door and opened it to find Lucy standing there, twirling her hair all flirty-like.
"Hi Danny!" she chirped.
"Hey Lucy what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Oh well I wanted to see you first of all and I just wanted to remind you that it's Chris' birthday in a few weeks and we wanted to through him a surprise party and we already have PJ in on it and since you're one of his closest friends we thought you could help too! What do you think?" She asked excitedly.
"Sure! Yeah that sounds like a great idea!" I agreed happily.
"Yay! Ok so we thought we could meet in PJ's room to discuss details and he'll text you but since Chris' birthday isn't for a while we'll start later on. That sound ok?" She said.
"Yeah sure ok then I'll see you tomorrow in class then?" I said.
"Yep. Bye Danny!" She winked.
"Bye Lucy." I waved and she skipped down the hallway.
I closed the door and turned to Phil, who was blowing his nose.
"Are you sure you're alright Phil?" I asked. Now I was really worried he was getting sick.
"Y-y-yeah." He smiled and went back to the book he was reading.
A few minutes later Phil had gone through half of a tissue box. Now I knew he was getting sick.
"Phil?" I asked, he looked up at me "Are you getting sick?"
"N-no I-I t-t-think it's j-just a-allergies." Phil said, shaking his head.
"Phil I think you're sick." I said.
"I'll p-p-probably f-feel b-better t-t-tomorrow." Phil smiled shyly.
"Ok we'll see if you feel better tomorrow alright?" I said, smiling as well.
"O-o-okay." Phil said and checked his phone, "I-it's g-g-getting l-late 'm g-going t-to g-go to b-bed. Goodnight D-Dan."
"Goodnight Phil." I said and headed to the bathroom to get into my pajamas.
The Next Day (Still Dan's POV)
I woke up to Phil having a coughing fit. I glanced at the time the clock read 9:00 am.
"O-o-oh D-Dan I'm s-s-so s-sorry I w-woke y-you u-up." Phil said nervously.
"No no It's alright, Phil you are sick." I said worriedly.
Phil shook his head "I'm s-s-sure it's n-n-nothing D-D-Dan."
I walked over to him. I stood beside his bed and gently placed my hand on his forehead, causing him to blush.
"Jesus Phil you're burning up!" I exclaimed.
I ran to the bathroom and grabbed the thermometer. I ran back to Phil's bed. "Open." I instructed softly. Phil obeyed and I placed the thermometer in his mouth. I waited for a few moments before pulling it out. It read 101 degrees.
"Oh my God Phil! 101 degrees!" I shouted. "I think you have the flu. Here lay back down I'll go grab medicine." I said. Phil laid down and I pulled the blankets up and tucked him in. Then ran to the bathroom to see if we had any medicine. I didn't find anything so I figured I better head off to the store.
"Hey Phil?" I said softly, walking over to his bed.
"Y-y-yes?" He responded.
"We don't seem to have any medicine so I'll head to the store later to pick some up." I said.
"W-w-what w-why?" Phil asked, obviously confused.
"Why what?" I asked.
"W-w-why a-are y-you t-t-taking c-care of m-me?" Phil asked softly.
"Because I care about you, Phil. You're my friend." I said, laughing gently.
Phil blushed deeply "T-t-thank y-you." He grinned.
"No problem so I'll head out in a few minutes is there anything else you need? Are you hungry?" I asked.
Phil nodded shyly. "I'll pick up some soup ok?" I asked.
Phil nodded again "T-thank y-you."
"I don't mind, here you go." I said handing him his glasses.
"You know you should wear your glasses more."I smiled, ruffling Phil's hair
Phil blushed and smiled gently. "H-h-hey D-Dan?"
"Yes Phil?" I smiled.
"O-oh uh n-n-nevermind it w-was s-silly." He said in his usual quiet tone.
"What is it Phil? You can tell me anything." I assured him.
He smiled weakly "I j-just w-wanted t-t-to s-say y-you're m-my f-first a-and only f-friend s-so I j-just w-wanted to s-s-say thank y-you."
"Aww thanks Phil that's so sweet." I said happily.
After a few seconds, Phil sneezed again and again the broke into yet another coughing fit.
I felt horrible. "Aw Phil how are you feeling?" I asked, cupping my hands around his face.
Phil blushed again "W-w-well my h-h-head hurts a-and s-so does m-my t-t-throat a-and uh I c-can't stop c-coughing a-and my n-nose is r-runny but m-my stomach d-d-doesn't f-feel s-so good." He said softly suddenly his eyes went a bit wide "O-oh I d-d-didn't m-mean t-to c-complain s-sorry."
"No no Phil you're fine although I feel awful for you." I said "I'll head off to the store and pick up some medicine and food. I'll be back in about 15 minutes. Alright?" I asked, feeling Phil's forehead again.
"A-a-alright a-again thank y-you s-so much." Phil said softly he was so cute.
I nodded and grabbed my phone, wallet, and key card then proceeded to head out the door.
I headed down to the small store on campus. I pulled open the doors and walked through. I picked up a few things when suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Lucy (again) giggling and twirling her hair.
"Hey Dan man we seem to be bumping into each other a lot huh?" She said.
I laughed "Yeah so what are you doing here?"
"Oh well I'm picking up some snacks for a slumber party I'm having with my friends what about you?" she asked, walking closer and closer to me.
"I'm picking up some stuff because my friends sick." I explained, picking some canned soup off of a shelf.
"So Danny I was wondering are you busy next Friday?" She asked.
"Uh no why?" I responded.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie on campus?" Lucy asked.
I thought about it for a little then thought, What the heck she's nice might as well. "Sure what time?" I grinned.
"Yay! How about 6:30 I'll swig by your room?" Lucy walked up to the checkout line.
"Sure I guess I'll see you then." I said, joining her in the line.
"Alright. See you then Danny." Lucy smiled and kissed me on the cheek before skipping out of the store.
I paid for my items then proceeded to walk back to the dorms. I reached my dorm and before I even unlocked the door I could hear Phil's coughing. I opened the door and saw Phil walk out of the bathroom and sit on his bed.
"Hey Phil, you alright?" I asked
"Uh y-y-yeah I'm a-a-alright." Phil said and laid back down.
"Are you sure?" I asked, tucking him in again.
Phil nodded "Y-yeah."
"Just make sure to let me know if you need anything alright?" I said, setting aside the bag from the store.
"O-okay t-t-thank y-you." Phil coughed.
"Here I got some medicine and I'll make you some soup." I smiled.
After I set Phil's soup and tea on the tray along with the medicine I walked over to his bed and sat down.
"Here you go Philly." I said
"T-thank y-y-you." Phil grinned sweetly (blushing adorably).
I smiled and was about to give Phil his medicine when a loud knock at the door erupted through the room. I stood to answer it.
I swung the door open to reveal Chris and PJ standing there.
"Hey guys what are you doing here?" I inquired.
"Sorry if this is a bad time but we were just pumped to tell you that the school is hosting a homecoming dance soon! And Chris and I are on the planing committee. You can join if you want to as well there's a few open spaces if you want." PJ announced excitedly.
"Really? A homecoming dance?" I asked.
"Yeah they're also having a Halloween party, and I believe some other holiday dances and parties." Chris chimed in (I chime in haven't you people ever heard of)
Phil then broke into a loud coughing fit, causing Chris and PJ to jump.
"Sorry 'bout that." I said, laughing at their reactions.
"Is that your roommate? Didn't you say his name was Phil?" Chris asked.
"Yeah he's super shy though and really not feeling well so I'll introduce you later." I assured them.
"Alright sorry to bother you." PJ started "Also one more question if you don't mind, are you going for the movie on campus Friday?"
"Yeah I'm going with Lucy." I stated.
"Really?" Chris said and wiggled his eyebrows.
I laughed "Yeah are you guys going?"
PJ nodded and I heard Phil cough some more.
"Well you should go take care of your roommate we will see you in class tomorrow." PJ said.
"Alright bye." I waved. They said bye and walked down the hall. I spun around, closing the door in the process and sat back down with Phil.
"W-w-were those y-y-your f-friends?" Phil asked as I gave him some medicine.
"Yeah I've known them pretty much my whole life and I think they're secretly in love." I said and winked at Phil causing him to giggle making him even cuter.
Switch to Philly's POV:
I giggled at Dan's little comment and wink and was glad he was telling me more about himself. I really want to get to know him better since he was the only student who actually talked to me instead of talking about me behind my back or making fun of me.
"Here open." Dan smiled as he picked up a spoonful of soup and fed it to me.
I smiled shyly at him. "T-t-thank you D-Dan."
He smiled back and handed me a mug of tea. We chilled there until I finished the soup and tea and I really felt better.
"How do you feel Phil?" Dan asked.
"I f-f-feel a l-lot b-better thank y-y-you s-so much D-Dan." I grinned like an idiot.
Dan smiled sweetly "Good I'm glad your feeling better oh yeah I almost forgot we have school tomorrow."
I frowned "O-oh y-y-yeah."
"But hey at least you feel better." Dan said.
I smiled "Y-yeah h-h-hopefully I d-didn't g-g-get you s-s-sick."
Dan laughed-I really like his laugh-"Yeah probably not don't worry."
We talked for a bit more before a realized it was almost 10 pm.
"I-I-I t-think I b-b-better g-get r-ready for bed." I said
"Okay I think I'll do that as well." Dan smiled and stood up, taking the tray with him.
I got into my pajamas as did Dan and crawled into bed.
"Good night Phil." Dan murmured sleepily.
"Good night Dan." I replied before drifting off to sleep.
***Dream Time!***
It was dark that's all I could see, but then lights slowly flicked on,illuminating what I soon recognized as the school's hallway.
I saw a figure running towards me and I recognized it as Dan.
"D-D-Dan! H-Hey!" I shouted happily.
He apparently didn't hear me as he just kept waving and running. I glanced behind me to see another figure who came into focus as the girl, Lucy, that Dan knew.
"Hey Lucy!" Dan called out grinning.
"Hi Dan!" Lucy chirped and ran into Dan's open arms.
Lucy looked at me then back at Dan "Do you know him?" she questioned, motioning in my direction.
Dan shrugged "Eh not really I don't like him at all I mean he doesn't even matter and he's a loser."
I felt my heart clench and a lump formed in my throat. "D-D-Dan?" I said shakily.
"What do you want?" He hissed his voice full of hate. "I don't want to talk to you loser leave me alone freak! Shut up nobody likes you! Jeez don't even look at me. God what an idiot man I hate him. Come on baby let's go." Dan spat and stormed off with Lucy in his arms.
The tears came like a freaking waterfall and I fell to my knees. I sobbed and sobbed, until gaining the strength to run to my safe place, the music room.
I let out a sigh of relief as I reached the music room and saw Benny sorting through some papers.
"H-H-Hey B-Benny." I called out hoarsely,catching his attention.
"God Phil what do you want?!" He groaned in his usual southern accent but this time with a serious hate that I've never heard directed towards me.
"B-B-Benny? W-What's wrong?" I asked nervously.
"You're what's wrong! I hate having to be your babysitter I hate you!" He spat harshly.
"B-B-Benny I..." I sobbed.
"You what? Huh? What could you possible need you worthless piece of filth?!" Benny yelled.
I just turned and ran I ran and ran until I reached the dorm. I unlocked the door and walked in.
I saw my stuff was all trashed around but Dan's side was untouched. I sat on my bed and began sobbing more and more.
Until I heard a knock at the door. I stood and slowly opened it.
"Hey...oh I want to see Dan." the lady at the door said, obviously disappointed. I recognized her as one of our teachers but I couldn't recall her name.
"Uh w-w-what d-do you n-n-need from h-him?" I sniffled.
"I'm moving his room he said he really hates his roommate like he wrote a full complaint about him." She said, looking at the clipboard. "I'll go find him." she muttered and walked off.
I turned back to the dorm and just let the tears fall and fall and fall and fall...until the blaring alarm rang out.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I groaned but sighed in relief. It was a dream just a dream just...a...dream.
"Good morning Phil." Dan called, making me jump in surprise. I was covered in sweat and tears-well especially tears.
"G-g-good m-morning D-D-Dan." I said shakily and nervously.
"You alright mate? You look a little shaken up." Dan inquired.
"Uh y-y-yeah j-just a b-bad d-d-dream." I sputtered.
"Hey did you hear what happened?" Dan asked suddenly.
"Uh n-n-no." I said.
"There's no more art class apparently there was a big scandal and they cut out the class so now it's study hall." He said as he gathered up his clothes.
"R-r-really? W-w-well t-that s-sucks." I said and stretched.
Dan nodded in agreement.
"H-hey I'm g-g-gonna j-jump in t-the s-s-shower if t-t-that's a-alright." I said as I got out of bed.
"Sure I'm gonna get dressed." He said.
I nodded and gathered up my stuff to take a shower.
/After the shower/
I gathered up my books, said goodbye to Dan, and headed to my first class. I made a mental note to talk to Benny about my nightmare before walking into class.
I glanced around the classroom before awkwardly shuffling to my seat next to Josh.
"Alright class today we're working on essays." our teacher, Mr. S, called out. The class let out an audible groan before letting him continue "Ok so I will walk around with a bucket full of topics and you will pick one and write an essay on it." He explained, picking up a clear plastic bucket full of folded sheets of paper and began walking around the classroom
He rounded around until reaching my desk I reached my hand in and drew out a piece of paper and unfolded it, it read The Quality of Living in Developing Countries. (Note: I actually spent 10 minutes finding essay topics online.) Huh I can make something interesting out of this. I thought.
I pulled out my laptop as did everyone else and began working. I had 3 whole pages done when the bell rang. I gathered my things and walked down the hall. I glanced down at my paper that read my schedule.
Phil's Schedule
First Period-Social Studies
Second Period-Advanded Language Arts
Third Period-Advanced Science/Chemistry
Fourth Period-Lunch Num num!
Fifth Period- I crossed out Art and replaced it with Study Hall
Sixth Period-Free Period (Different from study hall)
Seventh Period-Private Music
Eighth Period- Math
-End of Classes-
I put the the paper back in my pocket and walked to my next class. I shuffled into class and sat down. Our teacher, who we just call Sarah, skipped into class.
She was definitely one of my favorite teachers, she was always so chirpy and upbeat about everything.
"Good day class!" she chirped happily "Welcome back for another year of advanced language arts! Okay so today we are going to work on a simple project ok? So it's just an easy worksheet followed by a trip to the library to find a novel for you read." She explained as she passed out the aforementioned worksheets.
(Note: Your reviews are the sweetest thanks so so much I don't deserve that! You guys are so amazing!)
I finished the worksheet in no time and decided to silently doodle while I waited for my classmates to finish.
Knock! Knock!
We all spin around to see whoever was standing in the doorway. I was personally shocked to see none other than Dan leaning against the wall with a smug smirk on his face and a pile of books in his hand
"Ah hello there!" Sarah said and practically skipped over to him.
"Hey! I was asked to bring these books in." Dan grinned.
"Oh why thank you!" She replied and carefully lifted the books into her own arms. "Would you please help me put these away?"
"Of course." Dan replied, following her to the large book case in the back of the classroom.
I watched Dan as they walked through the classroom, Dan glanced around but his soft brown eyes never fell on me, he merely skimmed over each student before assisting Sarah in putting away the books. Memories of the nightmare forced themselves into my brain and I couldn't seem to hold it back.
"There all done! Thank you! Have a nice day." Sarah said happily, breaking my silent thoughts.
"You too." Dan said before walking out the classroom.
"Ok now raise your hand if you're not done with the worksheet." she called out, no raised hands. "Excellent! Ok now single file out to the library."
We entered the library and everyone scattered I walked to the mystery novel sections and began looking.
*Le Time Skip to Lunch ^-^*
Still Angel Bean's POV:
I grabbed my food and head towards the bathroom but not before tripping over Dylan's foot in the middle of the hallway and having everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Man even for you Phil this is freaking hilarious, never gets old!" Dylan cackled.
I glanced around all the faces, everyone was laughing. I got up and pushed past everyone, the tears flowing freely and ran down the hallway.
I stopped dead in my tracks upon seeing Dan and Lucy walking down the hall holding hand and giggling to each other. I obviously looked like a freaking mess my clothes and hair were messy and tear tracks ran down my red cheeks.
"Oh! Man what happened to you?" Lucy asked, looking me up and down and laughing sightly but still seemingly concerned.
Dan looked me up and down as well before meeting my gaze "Hey you alright?" Dan asked softly.
I shook my head, burying my face in my hand as I ran past them and down the hallway, sobbing. I ran until I reached my dorm. I'll clean up then maybe skip study hall I really just want to talk to Benny.
By the time I had finished cleaning off it was time for my music class. I had a special private music class with Benny that my mum signed me up for.
I headed down the surprisingly empty hall into the music room. I knocked on the door and only seconds later it swung open and I was greeted by Benny.
"Ah! Hello Phil!" He grinned, stepping aside to let me in.
I walked in and sat down on my piano chair "H-h-hey B-Benny." I smiled weakly.
"Phil what's wrong?" Benny asked worriedly, pulling up a chair and sitting across from me.
"I h-h-had a r-r-really r-really b-bad d-d-dream and i-it k-k-kinda g-got t-t-to m-me." I explained, looking at my hands in my lap.
Benny put a hand on my shoulder "What happened in the dream Phil? Talk to me."
I explained the whole dream to him word for word and he listened intently, I could always trust him. As I finished he pulled me in for a hug.
"Oh Phil I would never ever do anything like that for you, boy you'd be stupid if you ever thought I'd treat you like that." Benny said, I sighed in relief and we pulled away.
"T-t-thank y-y-you Benny." I sighed.
"It's no problem Phil. Ok,shall we get on with the lesson?" Benny asked. I nodded. "Alright." He said and pulled out a few sheets of music. He handed them to me and I set them on the stand.
"Ok now please began." Benny instructed.
I obeyed and set my hands down on the keys, I let the rhythm flow from my heart to my fingertips as my hands pressed the keys, my fingers seemed to fly across the piano, hitting every note carefully. I poured my soul into my music, it was my life, my fingers continued to glaze over each and very note and I closed my eyes as the music flowed through me.
I finished the song and turned to Benny, who was clapping rapidly with a proud grin on his face. "W-w-was t-t-that g-good?" I asked.
"No that was absolutely incredible! Just amazing Phil! I am so proud of you!" Benny beamed.
"R-r-really?" Benny nodded "T-t-thank y-you." I smiled.
"Only telling the truth, I picked a few songs that I think you will really play and even sing very well they seem like your style I also chose some duets as well. Would you like to begin?" Benny said, handing some papers to me.
"Y-y-yes." I smiled happily, taking the papers from him.
"Tell you what Phil how about you just hang out with me for the rest of today, I'll tell your math teacher it had something to do with your special music class I'm sure she'll understand." Benny winked, I'm glad he understood how horrible the nightmare was and how it messed me up.
I nodded and grinned "T-t-thank y-you that s-s-sounds g-g-great."
Benny smiled and motioned to the papers "Let's begin."
*Switch to Dan's POV During His Science Class*
I entered my seventh period science class and sat down next to Chris.
"Hey Dan what's up?" Chris asked as I took out my notebook.
"Not much man what about you?" I smiled.
"Same. Oh what's going on with you and Lucy and I saw you guys hanging a lot today." He winked.
"Well she likes to flirt with me and I guess I've grown to like her." I chuckled.
Although I couldn't help to wonder what Phil was up to right now, I feel kinda bad after seeing how messed up he was at lunch. I shook it off for now.
Our teacher then walked up to the board lazily, trudging with a large bag behind him stuffed with crumpled papers. He let out a loud sigh and sat down at his messy desk.
"Good day class sorry I'm a little tired so we're just going watch a video and take notes." He yawned. He turned on the projector and set up a video.
"Hey are you signing up for the homecoming dance planning committee?" Chris leaned over and whispered to me.
"Umm yeah probably Lucy said it's a good idea." I whispered back.
Chris smirked "Hmmm Lucy huh? You gonna ask her to the dance." He winked.
I laughed "Yeah probably I mean who else would I ask? Who you gonna ask huh?"
"Hmmm the list goes on, man." He said, and opened up his notebook.
(Note: Here comes the KickTheStickz)
"What about PJ?" I winked.
Chris seemed to choke on his tongue "W-w-hat what are you talking about?" PJ? Come on. Pssh we're just friends man, yeah just friends." Chris sputtered unconvincingly.
"Right 'just friends'" I held up air quotes, I knew they obviously loved each other. "Come on man tell me the truth." I laughed slightly.
"I mean I just I guess I-" Chris continued to babble, causing me to laugh.
"I can tell he loves you Chris and I can tell you love him, you shouldn't bubble up your feelings you know." I said as I scribbled down some random notes.
"Are you sure?" He asked, glancing down at his notes.
"Duh! I've known it forever!" I whisper-yelled.
Chris grinned "Well I guess I got a date to homecoming." He said happily.
"Yes! Finally!" I exclaimed quietly.
"B-But what if he says no?" Chris asked worriedly, eyes widening.
"Come on man he's been staring at you since he learned about the homecoming dance and has been all shy and nervous around you. Trust me he loves you." I chuckled quietly.
'Huh I make a pretty good cupid.' I thought to myself as I wrote down some more notes. 'Now how do I ask out Lucy? Hmm maybe I could get a rose and make a giant sign or something...maybe I'll ask one of my friends for ideas.'
Still Dan's POV After 9th Period:
I walked back to the dorm and saw Phil had just walked around the corner and just beat me to the door.
"Hey." I said, causing him to jump slightly but smile sweetly nevertheless he changed his clothes and his hair was fixed. 'He seems to be feeling better.' I thought.
"H-h-hey D-Dan h-h-how was y-your d-day?" He opened the door and allowed me in.
"Thanks, it was alright you know Chris and PJ, my best friends?" He nodded "Well I hooked them up for homecoming." I grinned triumphantly.
"R-r-really? T-t-that's g-great." Phil grinned as well.
"How was your day?" I asked as I sat on my bed as did Phil after he shut the door.
Phil's face seemed to fall a bit but he still had a smile on his face "H-h-honestly? I-I've h-h-had b-better and I-I-I've h-had w-worse." he replied quietly.
I nodded "What happened at lunch?" I asked, getting up and walking over to my desk.
Phil looked up "O-o-oh d-don't w-w-worry about i-i-it, I'm o-o-over i-it I w-w-was k-kinda o-overreacting a b-b-bit a-anyway. I-it w-was s-silly." He gave me a small smile and I returned it.
"You sure?" I asked, turning away from my computer. He nodded. "Okay by the way you know Lucy right?" Phil nodded again.
Switch to Phil's POV:
"Okay by the way you know Lucy right?" Dan asked, I nodded.
"W-w-why do y-y-you a-ask?" I inquired as I adverted my gaze back down to my hands in my lap.
"Well I was going to ask her to homecoming and I was wondering how I should do it." He replied casually with a smirk.
I felt my heart sank for some reason-I mean yeah I was disappointed because I was secretly hoping that Dan wouldn't go to homecoming and we could play video games or something.
"O-o-oh w-well what w-w-were you t-t-think?" I blinked back tears and shoved my sadness away to help my one and only friend.
"Well I was thinking of making a nice giant sign and a rose what do you think?" Dan asked hopefully.
"W-w-well umm I t-t-think I h-h-have a-an i-i-idea f-for t-the s-sign." I suggested quietly. "I c-c-can m-make i-it i-if y-y-you w-want." I smiled.
"Sure! I'll pick up the supplies. Thanks Phil!" Dan exclaimed happily.
"N-n-no p-problem." I replied.
"Ok I'll grab some supplies real quick be back soon." Dan grinned before walked out the door and down the hall.
'Ok so maybe I'll just spend the night of homecoming studying or maybe I can stay with Benny or something.' I thought as I laid down on my bed with a sigh and stared at the ceiling.
Switch Back to Dan's POV:
I jogged down the hall back to my dorm, I was super grateful that Phil is helping me I really hope the homecoming dance goes well.
I opened the door and Phil sat up in his bed. He studied the supplies in my hands.
"Is this ok?" I asked as I set down the supplies in front of him. Phil looked up at me and nodded, smiling sweetly.
Phil got to work on making the sign, so far it was freaking amazing.
He had spelled out Hey Lucy...Homecoming? In beautiful bold lettering with designs such as swirls and dots and-well if I could use one word to describe it was just amazing. Phil then proceeded to color in some amazingly designed drawings and then colored in all the bubble letters. He then picked up some roses and lined the large board with them, giving the whole sign an elegant more romantic look.
"T-t-there h-h-how d-does it l-l-look?" Phil asked, holding up the beautiful board.
"Just amazing uh beautiful it's perfect Phil-thank you so much." I sighed and smiled at him.
"N-n-no p-problem I'm g-g-glad y-you l-like it." Phil smiled as well.
"When should I ask her?" I asked, as I set the now finished sign on my bed.
"W-w-well umm m-m-maybe F-F-Friday there's t-t-that movie o-on campus m-m-maybe you c-could go t-t-to h-her d-dorm and h-hold the s-s-sign w-hen she o-o-opens t-the door y-you'll be h-h-holding the s-s-sign." He suggested.
"Perfect! Man I'm so glad I asked you!" I exclaimed and Phil's face lit up as he smiled.
"G-g-glad I c-c-could help." He said.
Knock! Knock!
"I-I'll g-g-get it." Phil said and stood up to answer the door.
And Now Phil's POV:
I swung open the door to reveal a teacher-wait,no the teacher from my nightmare-oh no.
"Hello-oh may I speak to Dan please." She threw a gentle smile, cooling my fears of the nightmare.
"Y-y-yeah s-sure." I said, stepping aside allowing Dan to come into view.
Dan walked up to the door "Hey Mrs. B, what do you need?" He grinned.
"Well I was wondering if you were signing up for the homecoming committee, Chris wanted me to remind you before it was too late." She chirped, motioning to the clipboard in her hands before fixing her blonde hair which was neatly pulled into a high bun. I always thought she looked like a librarian/secretary.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot I would love to sign up though." Dan said, Mrs. B then handed over the clipboard allowing him to sign. "Thanks for reminding me." He said as he handed the clipboard back over to her. "Oh hey, Phil would you like to sign up?" He turned to me.
"Oh we could use more members!" Mrs. B added hopefully.
I mean-why not? "Uh s-s-sure." I smiled and walked up to the door, Mrs. B handed me her clipboard and I signed my name right under Dan's.
"T-t-thank y-you I w-w-would l-love to h-help." I said softly, unable to control my blush.
"Oh why thank you, darling!" She said happily, giggling at the blush still spread on my face. "Oh you're just so adorable!" She squealed and pinched my cheek before skipping down the hall, leaving me a furiously blushing mess.
But Dan seemed to find it quite amusing as he started giggling loudly. "Aww you are adorable Phil!" He exclaimed playfully, pinching my cheek causing me to go an even deeper shade of red, if possible.
"N-n-no I'm n-n-not." I said, as I felt my face heat up even more. Dan seemed to disagree as he continued teasing me.
"Awwww but you are! Phil you're so cute awww look you're blushing! Just so cute!" Dan smiled as he poked my cheek.
I shook my head "I-I'm n-n-not c-c-cute not a-at a-a-all." I insisted.
"Whatever cutie-pie!" Dan exclaimed happily and sat back down at his desk.
I'm sure my face resembles the red carpet at that point. Cutie-pie? Did Dan just call me cute, adorable, and cutie-pie? I had to admit I liked that nick-name, did he really think I was cute? Am I overthinking this? He was teasing me uh maybe he didn't mean it like that...OK I am definitely overthinking this. I still smiled at the fact that Dan calling me cute...Dan called me adorable...I couldn't help but grin at that.
"Hey Philly...hey cutie-pie!" Dan exclaimed in a sing-song voice, snapped me from my thoughts.
"Hmm s-s-sorry w-what?" I asked, still blushing.
Dan let out a laugh "You actually responded to cutie-pie aww!" He grinned playfully "Anyway I was wondering if you could maybe go and subtly tip Lucy off to meet me in the courtyard little lunch area on Friday during fourth period?" He asked.
"Uh y-y-yeah o-o-of c-course I c-c-can d-do that." I smiled, before falling back onto my bed.
"Thanks I really owe you one...cutie-pie." He winked, causing yet another intense blush to make it's way across my face.
I smiled "Y-y-you d-don't owe m-m-me a-a-anything D-Dan t-trust me." I insisted him.
~~~~Whimsical Timey-Wimey Time Skip to Thursday~~~~
Still Adorable Philly's POV:
I left my last class and headed back to my dorm where Dan told me to meet him today for the homecoming planning committee.
I heard giggles as I approached the door, I slid my key card and opened the door. I saw Dan and Lucy, cuddled up on Dan's bed together flirting with each other.
"H-h-hey." I said, walking in awkwardly and sitting on my own bed, my stomach churned with worry from what happened in that awful nightmare that I still can't get over.
"Hey Phil." Dan grinned, they both stood up "Lucy this is Phil, Phil this is Lucy." Dan motioned to us.
"N-n-nice t-to m-m-m-meet y-you." I stuttered quietly, mustering a small smile.
"You too. Do you always talk like that?" Lucy asked bluntly, tilted her head to the side.
I visibly winced at her question...I really didn't like people asking me that. I looked down at my feet as tears threatened to spill, I was still stupidly sensitive about things.
I nodded my head but still cast my gaze downwards. I heard Lucy laugh lightly "What really? Hm." I merely nodded again.
"So Lucy you've done this before what are we doing for the homecoming dance?" Dan asked suddenly, looking at Lucy with heart-eyes, my stomach twisted.
"Well Danny we're going to do some simple stuff like decorations or snacks so it's pretty easy don't worry." She chirped, returning the heart-eyes gaze.
"Okay not too bad PJ and Chris said they'll meet us down at the gym let's get rolling." Dan grinned, motioning for Lucy and I to follow. I motioned for Lucy to go first and she gave a thankful smile. I grabbed my phone and key card before leaving and locking the door.
Dan noticed I was staggering behind a bit and stopped walking and looked over his shoulder "Come on hurry it up...cutie-pie." He smirked, obviously loving the intense blush that spread across my face.
Lucy gave a confused look to Dan and it seemed to be mixed with a tiny bit of jealousy and anger. "What'd you just call him?" She laughed slightly.
"Cutie-pie." Dan confirmed with a smirk.
"Why would you call him that?" She asked with a small sigh.
Dan shrugged his shoulders and smiled "I like teasing him it's a little nick-name." He stated, looking back at me, his smile growing when he saw my deepening blush.
Lucy glanced back at me and looked me up and down before turned back, taking Dan's hand and walking down the hall with me quickly shuffling behind them.
As they reached the gym they heard what sounded like two boys voices. Maybe that's Chris and PJ...I thought to myself as we approached the gym doors.
We pushed the doors open, revealing a gym where all the lunch tables are pushed to the sides, outlining the whole gym, leaving a large space which I presume is going to be the dance floor. There was a large stage in the shape of a half moon at the back of the gym which people were setting up a DJ booth and speakers.
I glanced around nervously, what job would I be assigned and what if I mess it up...my thoughts swirled at a worrying pace and slowly but surely my insecurities had won and I couldn't look anyone in the eye, God I had a serious problem.
"Hello there what's your name?" someone called out from behind me, I spun around to see a tall boy with a curly fringe and sea foam eyes was walking slowly towards me. I panicked and hid behind Dan causing him to let out a small yelp followed by a giggle. The boy continued walked towards me and my face was freaking on fire as he got closer and closer.
"Hey PJ!" Dan called out happily but remained in front of me, which I was thankful for.
"Hey Dan! What's up?" PJ replied, as he stopped walking a few feet in front of us.
"Nothing much what about you?" Dan chatted, but still remained in front of me as I blushed and shook behind him.
"Same...Oh! I'll go get Chris!" PJ grinned before running off and tapping some brown haired boy on the shoulder, causing him to spin around. The boy- which I assumed was Chris brushed his fringe out of his eyes before following PJ back over to Dan.
As they got closer, my panic rose and I gripped onto the back of Dan's shirt tightly, peeking out just a bit.
"Hey Danny-boy I see things went well with Lucy." Chris smirked, motioning to the blonde girl currently organizing snacks on one of the tables.
Dan smiled on nodded "Yeah so...Chris you got your homecoming date yet?" He winked, causing Chris to blush lightly.
Chris shook his head "Nah man not yet." His eyes traveled to PJ who was busying himself with some streamers.
PJ turned back and walked to Chris' side, I peeked out from behind Dan causing Chris to smile.
Note: I am really proud of this part hehe :)
"Hey Dan...who's this blue-eyed beauty?" Chris asked motioning to me, PJ followed Chris' hand and saw me, blushing and shaking behind Dan like a little kid.
PJ joined in "Why hello, aww you're cute-very pretty eyes." PJ smirked gently.
"Wow yeah those eyes just so beautiful look at the blue and green and even some yellow just gorgeous. Dan you need to appreciate this beauty, pale skin, black hair, and those amazing eyes!" Chris exclaimed still staring at me.
My face went into a deeper and deeper blush and I turned my gaze to the floor. I heard Chris giggle a little.
"Awww he's all shy Dan you've got a real adorable one here, treat him right just look at him he's as cute as a kitten." Chris smirked.
"Aww what's your name?" PJ asked softly, smiling gently.
"P-P-Phil..." I whispered gently.
"Hello Phil, oh Dan he's just precious." Chris smiled.
That's when Dan cut in "Yeah I know he's cute, I do appreciate Phil by the way I'm his friend. I know he's all shy and did you compare him to a kitten?" Dan asked looking at Chris with a smile.
"Well yeah I feel the description fits just look at him." Chris motioned at me and I ducked behind Dan again. "Aww come on Phil come out." Chris cooed gently.
I didn't move so Dan turned to me. "Hey cutie-pie come on don't worry they like you." Dan said, his voice smooth and gentle.
I slowly let go of Dan's shirt and stepped out from behind them, my face stained by a blush and I cast my gaze downwards.
"Hmmm Dan you never told me you had a little kitten for a roommate." Chris smiled. "Nice to meet you Phil."
"N-n-nice to m-m-meet y-you g-g-guys." I winced at how much I was stuttering. "W-w-what d-d-do you m-m-mean b-by k-k-kitten?" I asked, tilting my head at Chris curiously.
"It means you're adorable Phil, you're sweet and innocent and really freaking cute." PJ grinned at the obvious blush spreading on my face.
"Umm I-I-I d-don't t-t-think I'm c-cute." I murmured shyly, glancing towards PJ.
Chris let out a laugh "Please, Phil you're so cute you're all shy and sweet like a little kitten." He beamed. "Dan even called you cutie-pie, do you really not think you're cute?" He asked. I shook my head.
I looked at PJ when I noticed he had really pretty eyes, he must've noticed me staring as he spoke up "Phil? Something wrong?" He asked.
"Oh s-s-sorry y-you it's j-j-just you h-h-h-have r-r-really p-p-pretty e-e-eyes s-sorry." I blushed and looked at PJ, a bright blush spread across his face and Chris smiled.
"See I'm not the only person who notices thank you Phil!" Chris exclaimed, grinning at PJ.
PJ's eyes grew a bit wider and an intense blush spread across his face "You really think I have pretty eyes?" He turned to Chris while pointing a finger at his own blush covered face.
Chris nodded "Yeah well duh! They go along really freaking well with your pretty curly hair." He grinned.
A sudden high-pitched voice came from behind and interrupted this beautiful moment "Hi Danny! I have a job for you come on!" Lucy chirped, grabbing Dan's hand and kissing his cheek before skipping off with him. I looked down at my feet and frowned slightly.
"Phil what's wrong?" Chris asked, moving to my side where Dan was. I shrugged my shoulders, still looking at my feet.
"Is it Lucy?" PJ asked, standing on my other side. I froze, what was my problem? Was it Lucy? Or maybe I'm jealous?
"I m-m-mean i-it d-d-doesn't s-s-seem s-she l-likes m-me but s-she s-s-seems n-nice, I'm j-j-just o-o-overreacting." I mumbled, glancing down again.
"Well maybe she's jealous of how close you and Dan are, I mean between you and your other friends." PJ theorized, gesturing with his hand between me and Lucy.
I looked up suddenly and tilted my head at him, frowning. "I d-d-don't h-h-have o-other f-friends." I murmured.
Lucy and Dan then interrupted our conversation by yelling "Hey guys! Can you help us?!" PJ, Chris, and I all spun around, seeing Dan and Lucy motioning towards a large pile of boxes. We made our way over to them, and I awkwardly hung my head and shuffled behind Chris and PJ.
*Le Gasp* Switch To Dan's POV:
I'm really glad that Chris and PJ like Phil, and Lucy, who currently was shouting for them to come over. Chris and PJ made their way over to us with Phil was behind them, looking quite embarrassed probably because of how we were teasing him...he was adorable though.
"Hey Dan what do you need help with?" Chris asked, as he made his way closer to us.
"We need to carry these boxes to the stage people." I explained, motioning again to the pile of cardboard boxes. "They all are pretty light." I murmured.
They all nodded and everybody proceeded to grab a box and began walking over to the large stage.
*THUMP*
I jumped in surprise and turned around to see that Lucy had bumped into Phil, causing both of them to drop their boxes and Phil ended up on the floor.
I ran over to Phil to help him up when Lucy called out sweetly, "Dan could you please help me pick this up?"
I helped Phil up and walked over to Lucy and helped her pick up the cords and wires and put them back in the box.
"S-s-sorry I s-s-should've w-watched where I w-w-was going." Phil said softly looking apologetic at Lucy.
"Don't worry about it! We will both have to be more careful next time!" Lucy exclaimed playfully. Phil smiled and nodded and we all went back to helping decorate the gym.
