Hello Random Stranger xx ( Phan)

Chapter 5-

Just as I was thinking of a way out of this situation, or a way to figure out who bear was , something interrupted me. Really loud , as well as really annoying voice filled the room. Yeah , that was Alfie. Ugh I didn't really like him , he was just purely annoying for some reason he just was. I didn't really have an explanation for it , but didn't need one either."Who the fuck are you staring at Howell?! " That kid. I don't know why but Sean and Aflie really seemed to hate his guts. Ever since I came into this school , I didn't really see him much beside a few encounters between him and Sean or Alfie. Why did they hate him so much ? I didn't know anything about thim - apart from the fact that I think he's friends with the genius guy from our year - that was pretty much it. I didn't really care though , I kind of felt sorry for him but then I don't know who he was. Everyone was now staring at him . He dropped his gaze once again and looked down at his phone.

Back to the plan ; I fucked up everything.The lesson was getting closer and closer to the end. I came into the realisation that I failed at lying where I was , still haven't got a reply meaning he most definitely realised. I looked around the room , still about 15 people were on their phones. I still had no idea how to figure out who was bear. Finally I gotten an idea. I took my phone into my hand and clicked on bears contact . I looked at Chris , looked at me , I silently hovered my finger over the 'call ' icon. Chris quickly nodded meaning that he understood what he was about to do. I took a deep breath , and then pressed the button .

A few seconds of painful silence filled with anticipation later , someone's phone began to ring. I looked around of the room , looking for the person who's phone I just rang. Finally I found who I was looking for. He was sat on the table opposite to ours. It was the guy with chocolate coloured hair and caramel eyes. He looked at his phone , being slightly confused by who's calling him. Now everybody's looks were focused on him. I just stood there completely motionless. He froze in place too , he looked like he couldn't move. As he was standing there, with his eyes glued onto the screen of his phone , I felt a massive wave of guilt him me. I did know he hated attention , I did know what happens when he is too nervous , but I was too stupid to think . Of course I was , how could I do something so idiotic ? I don't even want to know what he thinks of me right now.

Now I think about it , it all makes so much sense. The day at the field , he was about to have a panic attack , and then he had to confront Sean , then he ran off. I was right next to him when it happened , I could have stopped it. I didn't . Why am I such a massive fucking idiot. Right now I hated myself , more then anything. Wait no , in fact I hate Sean more than myself. How dared he do something like that to my bear? There was so many things I wanted to do right now : murder Sean , go and talk to Bear , be mad at myself because of what just happened. But no , I was sitting still frozen in place ,staring at him. I was so overwhelmed by everything that just happened. I opened my mouth , but instead of my voice , someone else's filled the room . I recognized the voice instantly. Sean.

Everyone was quiet ,the silence was now unbearable , the only voice in the room was Seans. "Wow the howell kid actually knows someone who's willing to talk to him ? How much did you pay them for that ??" "Ugh , how does something like that deserve a friend", "Nah man , he should just leave and never comeback....". As I heard the words I could literally feel the anger boil inside me. If could I would most probably get up and make Sean regret what he was saying right now. But I couldn't, at least not yet. I looked at Bear , who was no longer looking at Sean , his eyes were focused on me. I didn't know what to do , so I've done the first thing that came into my head. Silently I mouthed the word "Bear".

It was a second before he reacted , before I had a chance to do anything else he quickly , and almost silently blurted out ; "What the..." he managed to start however he was unable to finish. His voice was shaky , I could see the confusion and fear wash over his face , soon after his hands began to shake , his lip was trembling . He looked so fucking helpless. I was just about to get up and sprint towards him and comfort him in some way. Before he let any of that to happen he ran out of the room , his eyes were already glassy.Everything seems to be happening in slow motion even with that everything was too fast.

After he ran out of the room , I was furious. Obviously not at him , but at Sean. He was dead. Sean was still staring at the space that the boy was standing a few seconds before. He was just about to say some more horrible things at him , he already took a breath and was about to begin. Surprisingly , it wasn't his voice , it was somebody else's . Chris. I looked at him , he was angry . I wondered why , he most probably didn't know what was going on . Then I felt it , my eyes were glassy , I wasn't crying but clearly I shown some signs of it. I'm assuming that Chris noticed and that pushed him over the edge. He never liked Sean. Everyone knew that. Seeing to what state Sean buut me as well as bear into , something in him snapped. He wouldn't stop shouting. He even scared Sean himself. I gave Chris a look that basically translated to 'Thanks , I gotta run now' . He nodded and with that I ran off.

I was not completely sure where I was running but I assumed that Bear ran that way. I was only a few seconds behind him , I should be capable of catching up with him. After a few more minutes of exercise I was already near the field from a couple days ago. I ran and I ran until I saw him. I started to class his name from the top of my lungs , no response. I was gradually getting closer and closer. I could see his figure in the distance. Then I saw him fall onto the cold ground.

Before I knew it I was already on the ground beside the boy with chocolate hair and caramel eyes , that perfect creature was now lying unconscious . For a sew seconds we didn't move . I kept calling his nickname apologising endlessly for what I've done , it's all my fault after all. I kept saying things trying bring him back into consciousness. I could tell that my voice was full of worry and was most probably shaken. Suddenly he opened his eyelids . Just as I was about to take my phone out my pocket and dial 999 ,I quickly said with a broken voice "Shit. Thank god you're awake! I'm calling an ambulance right now ! Just hold on a second !" Before I had a chance to do anything else he put his hand on me , and whispered , nearly silently -"No I am not going anywhere...". Nope I wasn't going to buy it , not a chance. He just fainted because of stress for fucks sake I am not letting him to stay here. As I was about to protest he sat up , I could still see he wasn't okay . But if he really didn't want to go to the hospital and he will get slightly better in the next couple of minutes I won't force him too. He smiled weakly at me , making me 1000% calmer. I slowly helped him up and assisted him to the nearest bench. It took time but we made it.

Now we were sitting on the bench , he was staring at me. I didn't mind, it took a while before he noticed . "Sorry" he muttered a bit more loudly , in a clearer voice then before. I couldn't help but too look at him , I have no idea why I could just stare at him forever. "Care to explain what thee fuck just happened ? " he asked. After a few seconds of silence I said" I'm assuming that you know who I am..." , without much of a thought he instantly answered "Well not really , Who are you?" . I swallowed loudly , collect all my thoughts into something at would make sense.

I started to explain . Word by word. Sentence by Sentence. As I was explaining everything ; from the very first text , to right this moment we were in , I could see his expression change drastically. At the beginning his facial expression was neutral , then it was gaining more and more emotions adding into it. Anger , confusion , fear , and so on , all of the emotion mixed into one.

I could feel that he was trying to keep all the emotions together , not showing how he truly felt. I didn't want him to do that , he could do anything - just not close himself up. I looked at him , he looked like his mind drifted away , at the moment he didn't care about nothing. After another few seconds of awkward silence , he did the last thing I expected him to so. He looked at me , smiled weakly and said the following words in a broken voice "Thank you." At first I was worried , what if he hates me ? After the 2 words left his mouth I felt different. I was really fucking happy at the moment. After all I've done , after what I caused - he thanks me. I smiled , as soon as I did his smile grew as well. Now we were both sitting outside , on a cold bench , smiling at each other like idiots and I didn't mind even 1 bit.

Silently I stood up , and smiled even more. Then I reached my hand towards him ,he gave me a confused look . I giggled and covered my mouth , I always did so because I do this annoying thing where I poke my tongue out of the corner of my mouth, I hated it. With a clear voice I said "My name is Phil , Phil lester - but you can call me Lion." He took my hand and said the following the words shyly "My name is Dan , Dan Howell - but you can call me Bear." Seconds after he said the words they were still echoing in my mind "Hello Dan Howell ".
