Savior ↛ Phan

Chapter 7- Trust

(This '*' means a change in POV)

"Hey Phil." I smile as I sit next to him in the canteen.

"What? You've just forgotten about us?" Chris asks.

"I don't even think that's possible." PJ smiles at Chris.

Chris cheekily smiles at PJ and I roll my eyes, "Get a room." I groan.

"We may just have to." Chris says.

Phil snorts and puts his head on my shoulder, "Our friends are stupid." He mumbles.

"I agree." I say.

"I thought I heard my name, what?" Chris says and turns back towards us.

"We said stupid." I say.

"Okay, thought so. Stupid is my middle name."

"Of course it is." Phil says while lightly laughing.

PJ looks at me, then Phil. He faintly gestures about Phil having his head so casually on my shoulder. It's like he thinks we're a thing. Ha, I wish. Wait-

"Dan?" Phil brings me out of my thoughts.

I quickly turn my head towards him, "Hm?"

"You okay?" He asks.

I notice Chris and PJ intrigued on our conversation. I don't understand why they're so nosy all of a sudden. It was just a small gesture. Friends put their heads on other friend's shoulders all the time.

"Yeah, fine." I smile.

Phil smiles back at me and we turn our attention over to PJ and Chris again. Chris eyes us up and down.

"So Danny, where have you been the last few days?" Chris asks, fighting a smirk.

I shrug, "Over at Phil's."

Chris nods and purses his lips, "Why not at his house and not yours?" He pushes on.

I look over at Phil with a worried look and he's already chewing his lip, "Reasons...?"

"Reasons?" Chris asks.

"Reasons." I confirm.

"Are you going to tell us the reason?" PJ asks.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because."

Chris whispers something into PJ's ear which makes PJ snort and spit some of his drink out.

"What is it."

"It's nothing." PJ says while dying in laughter.

"Chris, I swear-"

"Oh it's nothing." Chris says and throws a grape at me, "You'll live without knowing about it."

"I can't come over today...sadly." I say and put a book into my locker.

"Why's that?" Phil asks.

I sigh, "My parents are finally back from another business trip and they want us to spend time together."

"Ah, okay. That's fine. Can I tell you something that'll make you smile?"

"Hm?" I glance over at Phil before putting another book into my locker.

"Jaxon says that he loves you already." Phil smiles.

I pause and look over at Phil, "You serious?" I question.
