Realisation ~ Part 1

"DANIEL! PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE NOW!" Suddenly, I am brought out of my trance. PJ quickly passes me a note before I get out my chair.

Just before I leave, I turn to see who is, once again, glaring at me for disrupting their learning and yet all I see is those bright blue eyes, daring me to laugh. I smile at him and leave.

As soon as I am out the door, I instantly regret smiling at him! Oh God, why did I do that?! I do not know why I regret it, I just do.

Walking to the Principal's office seems to take a lifetime to go so I bring out the note and read it:

Hey Loverboy! Stop staring at Phil if you want to pass English! She was calling your name for two minutes straight!

Was I zoning out whilst looking over at Phil?
Wait what does PJ mean by 'Loverboy'? Does he actually believe that I would think about him in that way?

Finally, I arrive at the office and I knock on the door.

"Come in, Daniel," I step in, not to find a office, but a library. Bookshelves line the walls as though they are wallpaper; Each book is colour coordinated with its neighbours; Bookshelves, all in different colours, go in shade order, light to dark. I look around in amazement, the entire room looks grand.

I am over 6 foot and yet I feel tiny.

"Hello, Sir,"

"Hello, Daniel, turns out that someone is not concentrating,"

"I guess so, Sir," I blush, head to the ground, ashamed.

"Is is a boy, Daniel?"

My head snaps up in disbelief as my mouth goes agape.

"What do you think I do whilst walking through the halls?" He cocks his eyebrow at me. "Sit down, Daniel,"

I do as I am told.

"Even though you have only been here for not even two weeks, a lot has happened and been said. You walked out of class after a argument with Phillip," The shock returns on my face only to be accompanied by realization, of course the teachers chatter, what else would they do? "Then you had a very memorable experience outside the gates, once again, including Phillip, did you not?" (BTW Principals in Britain are not this personal XD)

How did he see that?!

"Yes, Sir,"

"I was curious to know if you are having a intimate relationship with Phillip? You seem to be closer than you was last week,"

"Sir, not to avoid the question, but it is hardly half nine, how have you obtain all of this information in such little time?"

"Word goes around fast in this school; we are a community of gossip and knowledge and as the size is so little, it is easy to hear what happened a few minutes ago" He smiles.

"Well then, Sir" I link eye-contact with him "To answer your question, no nothing is going on between Phil and I, we are just..."

He finishes my sentence for me, "Frenemies?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that,"

"It seems like you are attracted--"

"Okay! Sir, so are you going to punish me?"

He coughs, obviously irritated that I changed the subject, "No, go back to class, Daniel. Goodbye."

"Bye."

I walk out of the grand office, all of a sudden questioning my emotions towards... Nah, I couldn't, could I?

Tuesday

Eating my Crunchy Nut (YASH) , I hear a knock on the door. Both my Parents are out on a business trip, my Mother as my Father's tag along, leaving me to take care of the house.

I get up and walk over to the door. Unfortunately, our door does not have glass in it or a peephole so I actually have to open the door to see who it is. Life.

Opening the door, I see dark hair and bright eyes. Phil. Ugh.

"Hello,"

"Hey, Dan. Wanna walk to school with me?"

"Urrr..." I think about the Principal's words. "Sure, come in, I am just finishing my breakfast,"

I walk back into my living room where MCR are blaring Welcome To The Black Parade into every corner of the room. Phil starts smiling at me.

My mouth is full of cereal, yet I still ask "What?"

"You like MCR?" His smile turns into a grin.

"Yeah, they are amazing," I need to learn table manners.

"Brilliant then," I swallow my food when Phil takes the cereal and places it on the table.

"Hey! I was eating that!" I go to take it back; Phil grabs my hand.

"No, I want to talk to you,"

"Yes?--"

Suddenly...
