SAVING HIM // PHAN

THREE

PHIL

And with that, the brown eyed boy, or should I say Dan, storms out of the bathroom. What was I supposed to do? Chase after him? I obviously decide not to. He doesn't want help. But I feel the need to. It's like a strong invisible force, kinda like my inner conscious telling me to find a way to help him.

There's nothing I can do now though.

I wash my hands and I scan myself in the mirror for any of Dan's blood. Fortunately there's none so I head to my second class, considering I missed my first class. I look around for my class and I finally see the door. Great. I skipped my first class, and I'm 20 minutes late for my second one.

I start walking towards the door and knock on it because, well, that's what her had to do at my old school. The teacher opens the door and I walk in with about 31 pairs of eyes on me.

"Wow. Late on your first day ? What's your name ?" The teachers words make me snap back to reality and realize what just happened.

I quickly answer not wanting to get in more trouble; "My names P-Phil, P-Phil L-Lester."

"Well Lester, take a seat next to," she thinks for a bit and then quickly spits out the next part. "Chris. Chris raise your hand so Lester knows where to sit."

The boy, who's name is Chris I suppose, raises his hand. I obey and take a seat next to him. To my favour, I'm the last seat at the far right corner with Chris to my right, a window to the left, and an empty seat in front of me.

I finally pause and think about what just happened. I, Phil Lester, just tried to help a boy. That boy, is being bullied, quite severely may I add, and from the looks of it, he self harms. I then proceed to miss my first class and finally I am twenty minutes late for my second class. English. I'm interrupted from my thoughts by the person sitting beside me.

"Yo. Phil right? My names Chris, how was your first class?"

CHRIS

The new boy walks in. Black hair and a some Pokemon shirt. What a looser. He's all flaws. The only thing that's not a flaw is his eyes. Any guy would die for blue eyes like those. All the girls would drool over me if I had them. But seriously. Pokemon? Talk about nerd alert.

I hear my name and raise my hand. He starts walking towards me and god, I only realized now, how ugly he is up close. Seriously, a fringe? 2009 called. They want their hairstyle back.

As he sits beside me, I take a better look at him. It only clicks now that he's the same guy that saw us beat up that Dan kid. I hope he doesn't recognize me. Just in case, I have a plan. I'll talk to my gang of friends. We'll be nice to him. We'll show him how great we are. He'll be part of our gang. He'll never see it coming. We'll turn him like us, convince him that hurting other people is good. That it makes you feel better. Because it's the truth.

"Yo. Phil right? My names Chris, how was your first class?" I ask trying to show him my good side. My fake good side.

"I actually missed my first class. I saw some guy get beaten up so i tried to help him. It truly sucks." Hopefully I can change his mind about it.

"Yeah it's horrible that It still happens here." Hopefully I just convinced him that I'm nicer then I look.

"So does anyone sit in front of me?" Crap I totally forgot that Dan's in this class.

"Uhh.., Dan does. Dan Howell. Tip of advice ; don't talk to him. He's the freak of the school, and I suppose you wouldn't want to take his place either by talking to him," I pause for a moment to think about what to say, then continue. "You may feel bad for him at first, but you'll soon realize he's just a looser."

"Chris and Phil! Stop talking this instant or ill have to separate you!" Gosh I was just giving friendly advice. I give a smirk to Phil and turn towards the board.

PHIL

He seems pretty nice? I don't really know what to say so I just stare ahead, lost in thought. Can Dan be that big of a looser? Is it just Chris being mean.. or is Dan the mean one? Should I talk to him? What if he meads a friend? What if he's really cool and nice? Should I risk being a freak to make a friend? These thoughts are driving me crazy.

I decided to wait and see. I don't even know him. I wasn't at all bullied at my old school, I was popular. My friends and I were popular. But the good kind. The kind that are really nice and want to help people. I just hope Chris is like that.

Just like that I'm interrupted by the bell signing it's break. I don't really know what to do, I don't even have any friends that go here. I start heading towards my locker and fortunately, i feel a tap on my shoulder and my name being called.

"Hey Phil! You should come meet my gang. They're really cool, c'mon!" I turn my head and there Chris is. Standing there with, I'm guessing his friends, behind him. Should I go? I don't have any friends so I guess I should head over there and make some friends for myself.

"Uhh Y-Yeah sure" I head over there, hoping I don't make a fool of myself.

I stand beside Chris and look at the guys in front of me as they introduce themselves.

"Hey I'm Pj." Curly brown hair and beautiful forest green eyes.

"I'm Oli." He looks strong and buff,  remind me not to mess with him.

"I'm Joe and this is Caspar" They both have blue eyes. Wow this group has beautiful eyes.

"Umm, hey. My names Phil and I'm new here." Was I supposed to say that? Did they want me to speak ?

Suddenly out of nowhere Pj comments on my amazing shirt;

"Wow nice shirt, it really screams pathetic." I give him a weird look because I thought they were going to be my new friends, Chris seems pretty cool so I didn't think he'd hang around jerks.

"What?" I ask confused like cause what's so bad about Pokemon? Out of the corner of my eye, I see Chris kick Pj in the foot and give him a nasty glare.

"U-Uh a cool pathetic. I mean who doesn't like Pokemon? Ya dig?" Pj stuttered out but then he tried to sound convincing and cool..? What's with these guys. Before I have a chance to respond Joe quickly asked if I wanted to hang out at lunch and well I don't want to be a loner and the first day of school so of course I said yes.

I sorta just followed behind them while they asked me questions about myself. It was kinda awkward because I assumed they were jocks and not the nerds they say they are.. Turns out we are headed for the empty field. Well towards the field with one guy.

DAN

I make my way to school hoping it was early lunch so I could miss out on the beatings that go on at lunch and head straight to my class.

After a lot of thinking and debating the pros and cons of going back to school, I decided to go back to school after resting a bit because I didn't want the school contacting my parents to tell them I wasn't at school.

So here I am now walking with my head down and listening to the wonders of Muse.

There's part of me you'll never know. The only thing I'll never show.

I feel a hard push on my shoulders and look up.

This day can only get worse.

A/N: hey guys! anyways hopefully these will be up faster!!

Have a great day, I love you all<3
