Chapter 17
The following morning
"Okay, I don't think I can go the whole week only wearing this dress. It's already filthy." You laugh, showing Phil the only outfit you have.
"Well, we could put it in the washer... or just, y'know, get you some new ones."
"From where?"
"We can go shopping... I guess."
"Shopping where?"
"... At The shopping centre."
"Oooh. I've never been there before... what's it like?"
"It's a centre. With shops."
"Sounds so interesting. Can we go?"
"Sure. I think we should wash this dress first so you can wear it though..."
....................................................
"So, what shop do you want to go to?" Phil asks as you both walk through the enormous, busy shopping centre.
You look to the shops on your left, then to the shops on your right.
So much to choose from.
But, that's not the main thing on your mind at the moment.
"Why's there so many people?" You ask.
You've never been walking around in a place with as many people as this.
"Because lots of people need to do their shopping. Trust me, there's even more during the weekend." Phil explains.
"That sounds terrifying." You giggle, slightly scared of the masses of people.
"Have you not been around this many people before?"
"How could you tell?"
You both laugh, obviously uncomfortable with the amount of people.
"Yeah, it's not the best being around this many people. It can sometimes scare me, but trust me, you'll be okay. I won't let anything bad happen to you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Promise?"
Your hand gently bashes against his.
For a moment, you think of joining his hand with yours.
But what if he doesn't want to hold your hand?
You decide to save yourself from any possible embarrassment and not hold his hand.
Phil looks down at yours and his hand. "Course I promise." He smiles and takes your hand in his.
"Thank you, Phil."
"It's no problem. Anyway, what shop do you want to go to? May is suggest primark? It's cheap."
"I don't usually do cheap though." You say. "Sounds fun! Let's do it!"
Phil chuckles and leads you down to one of the largest shops you can see.
It also seems to be one of the busiest shops.
The entrance seems to lead you straight into the women's section, which is clearly dominating the majority of the store.
"Phil?" You rush over to a black pair of skinny jeans that's hung up on the wall.
"Yeah?"
"Why are there jeans in the women's section?"
"Why would there not be?"
"Girls don't wear jeans." You pause and turn back to face him. "Do they?"
"Of course they do. Tons of girls wear jeans."
"I though girls were only allowed to wear skirts and dresses."
"Girls can wear whatever clothing style they want. Why don't you buy a pair?"
"My mum and Dad would flip." You take a moment to think, then grab hold of the jeans. "Fuck yeah!"
...............................................
You and Phil are sitting at Starbucks, drinking a coffee and eating one of those giant chocolate coins each.
You had spent £95 worth of clothes at Primark, leaving you with £5 for the coffee and coin.
"So, I'm doing to ask again. Can I please meet your friend Dan?"
You've already asked Phil this around five times, but never got a straight answer. "Please please please please?"
"Well... Okay! I mean, if he's okay with it." Phil says, pulling his phone out. "I'll message him. I don't know if he'd be free though, he's getting ready to move out to university next week."
"Yay yay yay yay yay!" You shout excitedly, gaining a few angry looks from those around you. "Oh. Sorry."
"Don't be sorry for being excited. Express your joy!"
"Woohoo! I am fucking excited, I can't wait to meet your only other friend!"
"Hey! I have plenty friends!"
"Sure."
..............................................
Woop time skip a few hours later
You and Phil are standing outside the house belonging to Phil's friend Dan.
It's quite a small house, well, small by your standards.
It's probably normal sized by other people's standards.
"Can I ring the doorbell?" You ask, rushing over to the door and ringing the doorbell before waiting for Phil's answer.
About a minute later, someone comes to the door.
"Hi Dan!" Phil smiles.
"Hi." A boy around the same height as Phil with a brown fringe and all black outfit. "I'm guessing you're Y/N?"
"Yeah." You nod your head.
"Phil's told me a lot about you..."
"Dan!" Phil looks at Dan, obviously not wanting Dan to tell you what Phil has said about you.
"Woops."
.....................................................
You, Dan and Phil played some video games for a couple hours, then watched a movie and now you and Phil are in the process of walking back through the forest towards Phil's house.
Dan turned out to be a really nice, funny person, and it isn't that surprising to see him being friends with Phil.
"Thank you for allowing me to meet your only friend." You laugh.
"Thank you for embarrassing yourself in front of my only friend." Phil says sarcastically.
"Hey, he didn't seem to mind." You shrug.
"You tried to eat your hand."
"And it was tasty! Plus, so did you and Dan! That was the point of the competition!"
"Okay, true."
"Hey, it's my house." You stop and look over at the garden of your house, which is away at the side of the path, surrounded by a fence of course, but you can see the entire garden. "Fuck you!" You raise your middle finger up at the house.
"What if someone in there sees you flipping them off?" Phil asks.
"Good." You then see two silhouettes in the window of your bedroom and instantly withdraw your middle finger, scared in case they do actually see you. "Okay, maybe I am a little scared in case they see me. Who is that and what the fuck are they doing in my room?"
You squint your eyes as if that would help you figure out who's in your bedroom.
"That looks like Darren and... someone else..."
"Stacey." You realise.
"What are they doing?" Phil asks.
"Oh shit."
"I don- Oh. Oh."
Hi guys.
I'm so sorry for not updating in over a week.
I've been very busy lately, and actually, I only have two days a week that are free because I have singing lessons on a Tuesday and I've got drama on a Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday with school on top of all that and homework.
Trust me, I'm trying to get more chapters written.
As for my Dan x reader, I should be updating it today or tomorrow.
Anyway, please bare with me. Sorry.
Bye lads.
