As Dan and I walked into our flat I noticed he had something on his mind. We sat on the couch and he sighed, "Hey Phil?" I looked up from my book and muttered a 'mhm'; there was the usual awkwardness then Dan spoke, "Do you think Clar would get 'harmful' again?" He said; putting air-qoutes when he said 'harmful' but i still shook my head in disagreement.
"No..why do you ask?" He slumped further into the couch, muttering something. "What?" I asked him, "If Cempaka keeps bullying her like this she'll hurt her..." He repeated, I dont know why but hearing that made me so angry. But I tried to hide as best I could; "She won-" "SHE WILL!!" Dan snapped. My eyes widened and I felt something in me break a bit as I shouted at him, "LISTEN HERE DANIEL SHE WONT. EVEN IF SHE DID SHE'LL HAVE A PERFECT REASON TO." I ran straight into my room after, tears threatening to prick my eyes.
I heard soft footsteps trailing behind me, there was a faint knock on the door. "Go away!" I muttered yet he came in; I yanked my blanket over my body and silently waited for him to leave.
But he didnt.
"Phil Im sorry, lets try this and see?" He asked hopefully while I popped my head put like a turtle from its shell. I saw him smile softly; "Here, how about we try this?" He offered; handing me his phone with some notes written on it. I skimmed through them and nodded. This should be a good idea.
--next day at school,still Phil's--
I looked at Dan as he looked at me, we nodded and walked to our destined classes. 'Her first class is mine' I sighed, and reluctantly headed there. "Morning guys, Mr.Lester here and today we'll be learning about adverbs." I said a bit worried about how Dan would cope after last night but i tried not to show it. And obviously she noticed and looked at me with a confused expression.
I quickly thought up an excuse and asked her to collect the homework and hand me the information papers. She smiled and headed off to do her duty while I scribbled a note to say thanks. The note was to say thanks and see if she was humble.
--few minutes later--
I saw a pile of books on my desk and a smiling little girl as well, "Here sir!" She cheered and I smiled back at her, handing her the note as discreetly as I could. When she was back at her place she pulled out the note and read it. I waited patiently as she read and she looked up at me and smiled; i nodded and looked down.
--Payback Discussion time--
"Yo Phil!" Tyler burst through the door of my english class. I looked towards him, "Discussion." He winked and I just rolled my eyes playfully and walked out with him. I saw Clarissa there and I think Dan did too, but keeping our acts we both looked sternly at her. "What's wrong Phil? You look uncomfortable..." Craig commented but I put on a mask and just smiled at him while I noticed Clarissa make her way inbetween me and Dan, I glared at her.
--later during drama--
I was waiting for my cue, pushing my glasses further up my nose as i held my head down waiting. She walked in. I heard her speak a bit and I walked in; slamming the door behind me.
--5 minutes later--
I couldnt take it anymore, I just couldnt! I ran over and hugged her and so did Dan. She started trembling a bit. "Shh...Its ok..." I cooed and hugged her tighter till she stopped shaking and I pulled away.
~Clarissa's p.o.v~
Dan and Phil told me everything and I could've sworn I was tearing a bit towards the end.
"Wait, I still have a question." I piped up and they both looked at me with a goofy smile, "How come no-one came?" They laughed and told me that they had pre-informed the members that there's no clubs today and I laughed.
I looked at them smiling; "You guys look like a couple!" They turned to me and I thought for awhile, "Dan+Phil=Phan!" I laughed; "HEY!" They yelled playfully.
