Dan swings his legs over his bed and stretches. "Play my favorite songs playlist." He tells his heart and a soft tune hums in his head.

I think I talk too much

Dan takes his shirt off and walks over to his drawer where his clothes are kept.

I need to listen, baby

He took out whatever seems to match together and put it on to cover his bare skin.

I need to listen, baby

He then walks into the bathroom and brushes his teeth while his straighteners heat up. He then spits out the white foam before going to work on his hair, making sure no single strand of hair goes unstraightened.

I need to listen good

He splashes some cold water on his face to get all the oils from last night off before using a towel and wiping the water off.

I think I try too hard

He looks I'm the mirror and smiles at the image he was able to give himself today. He looks nice in his eyes, which is something that doesn't happen often.

How I look, what I do, what I'm sayin'

Dan unplugs his straighteners and puts them away. Then he leaves the bathroom connected to his room before exiting his room altogether.

I spend too much time explainin' myself

He follows the smell of coffee all the way to the kitchen where his mum is. She stands in her pajamas as she waits for her coffee to be done. She always has to have a cup of coffee to get her ready for work, or else she doesn't make it through the day.

Dan takes out some bread and pushes it down on the toaster as he gets some butter to lightly glaze over it later. It seems like the start of a normal day to him. Or so he thought.

I hope there's some time to change it

After his breakfast he gives his mother a kiss on the cheek. "Bye mum, I'll see you later." He says, grabbing his bag and slinging it over his shoulder.

"Bye Love. Oh and Dan, try and make some friends." Dan doesn't answer, he just shrugs and walks out of the house. Making friends wasn't really on his to-do list.

Dan walks to the bus stop and stands there as he waits. Other people come and wait at the bus stop to, most of them are friends with each other and talk happily. Dan doesn't mind that they ignore him, he could careless, but it does bother him that one of his old friends sometimes gives his sad looks. Pj Liguori. They used to talk all the time on the bus, not so much anymore. His love life is something Dan wouldn't want to be apart of, why can't he just tell Chris he loves him? Chris feels the same way for pete sake.

That was another one of his old friends. Chris Kendall, man could that boy flirt. It was his specialty. He could make anyone fall for him or have his words ringing in there head for days on end. He was attractive, with his brown hair and cocky smile, but once you really get to know him he's quite the jokester and loves to make people happy, which was on of the things that made Pj fall head over heels for him.

The bus came to a squeaky halt in front of the bus stop and everyone piled on. Everyone sat in there usual seat, it was all pared off into groups of two, which was unfortunate since Dan and Pj were paired together. But both of them just played on their phones the whole time, which just made the situation more awkward. Dan could care less while Pj was bothered by the fact Dan used to be his friend and now they're so distant.
