Dans pov:

I was shocked to see Phil hugging some guy. For some reason I felt a pang of jealously flood my system. But I knew I didn't like guys, not in a relationship way anyway, so I shrugged it off and put it down to heart break.
"Oh... you met a friend?" I said a little awkwardly after I cleared my throat. Phil nodded whilst the guy he was hugging smiled at me.
"Names Oli" he told me and held out his hand, an odd gesture for someone who was my age.
"Dan" I replied and quickly shook his hand once before pulling away awkwardly
"You and Phil friend's?" He asked and I didn't know how to answer.
"Think so?" I said, looking over at Phil who nodded. Oli could sense the awkwardness between us I could tell, he made a quick exit and left me and Phil alone.

"I wanted to aplogise" I spoke quietly as Phil ignored my gaze "I was a dick I know but-" Phil put his hand up to stop me.
"No need to apologise Dan. I get It" he said sadly
"No you dont" I stressed
"Don't make up excuses. If you don't want to be my friend than say rather than yell at me"
"My girlfriends cheating on me" I rushed out "I was in a mood... you knocked me I just" I ruffled my hair with my hands "I don't know. I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry" Phil replied, earning a confused look "about you girlfriend... you just scared me."
In that moment I noticed something about him, the way his eyes glazed over in sadness and the little hiccups that you don't notice in someone's voice until you listen closely. The way he shakes his hands a lot when he talks. I guess I'd never looked at Phil like that before, never even spoke to him before today but he seemed so broken. It made me want to bundle him up in my arms and hold onto him forever. Tell him to be brave, but of course I wouldn't do that.
"Sorry... again"
"It's okay" Phil mumbled back and bit his lip "are we friends?"he asked timidly and I smiled at his cuteness. What? guys can call other guys cute.
"Yeah. .. I mean if you want us to be" he smiled at me widely and nodded. But then he became sad again and I couldn't help but worry.
"Just... Don't yell at me again" he trembled and I nodded at him. He hugged his chest protectively and I moved closer to him, not really thinking. I unwrapped his arms and held onto his hands
"I promise I won't" he smiled at me but I soon dropped his hands as the bell went. With it it cleared the fog clouding over my mind.
"Better get to class" he said as we made our way to Maths, a subject we apparently shared together... but one that I also shared with PJ. A part of me wanted to move classes but I had to suck it up.

I found out that Phil sat at the back of the class and never really said much, which is why I never noticed him before. I felt kind of bad because of it, guilty almost. A substitute walked into the class and both me and Phil smiled. Phil took a seat on an empty table and I quickly joined him.
"You don't mind do you?" I asked as I pulled out the chair.
"Not at all" he smiled and his tongue pocked out the bottom. The teacher said we would have to get laptops and go on 'mymaths' for this study session. I grabbed two laptops and walked past Pjs desk, giving her a glare as I did so.
"Here" I told Phil as I passed him a laptop, my eyes dead locked on my former love. I was so angry at her, I could feel it in my bones.
"That your girlfriend?" He questioned me as I looked over at him and took a seat.
"Soon to be ex" I told him bitterly and stared at pjs head.
"What's your favourite animal?" He suddenly questioned and I snapped my gaze over to him quickly, arching an eyebrow "I'm not going to let you angrily stare at her all lesson so... what's your favourite animal?" I chuckled at Phil.
"Llama" I answered. To which Phil laughed "what? Llamas are beautiful majestic creatures" Phil was trying to calm his laughter but it wasn't working so I proved my point by brineing up Google and showing him a picture "tell me that's not amazing"
"Okay. Okay. It's not amazing" he managed to get out and winked at me.
"Fine mr. Animals are my specialty. What's your favourite animal?"
"Probably... A lion" he told me simply .
"Can't fault you there" I replied.
"Yes because animals are my speciality" he winked again and I stifled a laugh. He became serious "I dunno. Lions are just so brave and loyal to each other. It's nice"
"Is that so lion?" The name came out of my mouth before I could stop it
"Did you just call me lion?" He questioned and I nodded "I like it... but no way am I calling you llama" he laughed .
"And why not?"I mocked offence. "Because the name is almost as funny as your mum!" He burst out.
"Dammit phil!" I knocked him slightly and he flinched. I was about to apologise when I felt a presence behind me.
"Dan we need to talk" I turned around to be met by non other than PJ.
