Phil: Everything you say is like music to my ears

Phils POV
He yelled at me. Here I was thinking I had the possibility of having a friend and he ended up being just like Chris. I knew I had knocked into someone but that was a daily occurance at this school, I used to say sorry but that got me dirty looks so now I say nothing.
I need to stop looking at the floor so much.

I peeked from behind my fringe to see my feet had carried me to the library. I rushed in and, thankfully, it was empty. Tears rushed out of my eyes and I couldn't stop them. I was tired of hiding my tears, letting them build up, so everything came pouring out all at once.
I rushed to the chair and buried myself in it, willing for no one to walk in. The pillows set out cushioned my face and I gripped it tightly.

After a few minutes of, now silent, tears I heard the library door being pushed open. I leaned up and began to rub my eyes, sniffling a little. The footsteps got closer to me.
"Dan I- I don't want to talk" I told the stranger.
"good thing I'm not dan then" the voice said and flicked my head up to meet the sharp green eyes of a boy with brown, curly hair.
"sorry" I sniffed and he just half smiled at me.
"no worries" he picked up a book off the side "ahh John green, you like him?" he asked me, picking up a book called 'paper towns' I nodded.
"yeah" I'd actually only read a few but John green seemed like a great author and my school was amazing for actually having his books in. He sat down next to me, our knees touching. I swallowed nervously, but the guy seems nice enough.
"I'm Oli by the way" he said
"Phil" my small voice said. Oli put the book down on the chair next to him and looked at me
"what's up then phil?" he questioned me
"nothing" I replied, almost too quickly.
"come on man. Don't be like that" he chuckled, but his laugh wavered "there must be something up, you look like you've been crying" he bit his lip softly. He looked concerned but I didn't trust him.
"just...um, friendship arguments" I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly and then shrugged. Dan isn't even my friend I reminded myself, but this oli dude didn't need to know the specifics.
"ahh" he replied and put a finger onto his lips "it happens" he said and smiled sadly. I returned it. There was some awkward silence for a moment. "so what John green have you read?" oli asked me, taking my mind off dan.
"well there's looking for Alaska, will Grayson and the fault in our stars"
"all very excellent books" he applauded
"you're a big reader then?" I noted, to which he nodded.
"I'm also a big film watcher and I'm excited for the fault in our stars movie!" he exclaimed making me laugh
"same here" I agreed. Even though the book was incredibly sad.
"well we could watch it together if you want?" he suggested and I just stared at him. Was he asking me out on a date? "its so rare that I find a John green fan! Please phil" he begged and I just nodded.
"sure, why not" I grinned "it'll be fun" oli seemed ecstatic. He looked at the clock and frowned.
"I have revision now but can I have your number" he passed me his phone and I typed it in. I passed it back and he was on it for a few moments before my own phone buzzed and it was from him. "awesome, I'll see you around" he pulled me into a hug. He was warm and friendly. I think Oli would be an amazing friend to have.
He was taller than me by a bit and so my head rested neatly on his shoulder which was surprisingly alright.

"Phil...?" I heard dans voice and my eyes snapped open to see a sad Dan standing by the library door.
