Hi this is the first chapter I hope you like it :)
You might notice later that I use loads of music in this story. It's because I love music :D
Phil's POV
Today was the first day back at school and to be honest. It sucked. I was a nerd. The one the populars always bullied. Dan Howell (Mr ultimate popular) never touched me or said a horrible word to me. I'm not sure why, he doesn't say anything to anyone. My daily routine consisted of waking up, having breakfast, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, grabbing my iPod and rushing out of the door.
For me this morning was like any other, I completed my daily routine and when I arrived at school I pulled my hood over my head so they couldn't see me. I've tried that so many times before but it didn't work. They found me just like last time.
"Hey, look it's the nerd" Alexis, miss popular, yelled. I walked slightly faster but they caught me. I struggled in their grip and looked at Dan he mouthed 'sorry' and looked away.
"C'mon Dan, you've never had a go!" Kriss Dan's 'friend' called out. He sighed when Dan completely ignored him. What was with the guy?
Before I could think anymore, they threw me at the wall and I yelped in pain. I was kicked, punched and slapped. Thankfully, this happened every day so I was used to the pain. What did I ever do to deserve this?
Just then, the bell rang. I cleaned myself up and entered my home room where there were no populars, except Dan but he didn't bother with me. I took my usual place at the back and listened to the teacher.
"So our home room will be going on a field trip and this trip is in three days, here are your forms" Mrs Harris said boringly. I sighed and took my form. "Your pairing up in different partners to encourage different people to be friends so your partners are: Lilia and Jack, Kasey and Peter, Dan and Phil..." I didn't listen to the next part. I looked at Dan who was looking at me. We both stared wide eyed. "Now go and talk to your partners," I sighed as Dan took a chair beside me.
"Hi, I'm Dan Howell" his voice... Oh my god that was just... He looked at me expectantly.
"Oh, I'm Phil Lester," I smiled and we shook hands.
"Sorry about my friends," he said, "they're not exactly my friends, they're just stupid they don't know what privacy or personal space is or what it feels like to be bullied, I don't bully anyone because I know what it feels like, I was bullied in primary school, I try to stop them honestly but they just blank me so I stay out of it, I'm so sorry," he says sincerely.
I sat there shocked but before long I replied, "Dan it isn't your priority to apologise for your friends, it's them not you, you've never harmed me or said anything bad! They should be the ones saying sorry not you, what you've done already is brilliant! Standing up to that bunch of idiots is something I could never do!" he chuckled and smiled at me.
"Your amazing you do know that right? Even if I was a bully I wouldn't be able to bring myself to hurt you," he smiled.
"I feel honoured," I said sarcastically.
"You should do!" he replied, returning my sarcasm. I chuckled and the bell went.
"Bye Phil," he said.
"See ya loser," I said back.
"I'm offended," he replied chucking as he left the room.
For once in my entire school life I smiled to myself and thought maybe its not gonna be to bad.
The rest of the day went smoothly. I rushed to all my classes to avoid the populars, they still talked about me but I just thought. Damn, I got myself a little fan club. I hid in the library at lunch and fled school quickly at the end.
I got out my laptop and started it up. I took this opportunity to get changed. I got distracted quickly by my phone ringing I rushed over to I had never got a text before except off my mom but this was an unknown number. It read STAY AWAY FROM DAN ~ Alexis xo. Damn... Kill me now I'm going to die in the morning anyway.
I sighed. I finished getting changed and logged into my laptop. Then onto YouTube I looked for my favourite song but I found another band called Mallory Knox I clicked on it and the band was really good!
I clicked on the search box again this time typing in Smosh, they were my favourite youtubers. I admired them. I watched The legend of zelda rap. Then I went on twitter, a place where I actually had friends. I saw that I had 1 new follower Danisnotonfire had followed me. I knew that it was Dan because why else would a guy with 700k followers follow me? I followed him back and he direct messaged me.
D: Hi :)
P: hi :)
D: did you get that text off Alexis
P: yeah unfortunately
D: ignore her I broke up with her she shouldn't have sent you that how did she even get your number
P: I don't know actually that's a good question
D: well I have to go
P: cya loser
D: you always say that
P: I do :)
D: cya
P: bye
I looked at the time on the corner of the screen 0:45 what? I don't remember it being that late. I shut my laptop down and switched my lamp off. I fell into a dreamless sleep.
