Stay by me

chapter 9

*Phil's POV*

The day after the party I was very anxious.

I woke up and everything that happened came back to me.

"Oh god"

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to splash some water on my face.

"I gave him my number"

It's not like I was drunk and gave him my number, I was just feeling overconfident.

What if he never texts?

I just have to distract myself from this constant reminder for the day. So I did what any human would do and I stayed inside and played video games all day.

~~~~~~~

The time had really gone by fast. Soon after I had ended another battle with a win, I checked the time.

10:45.

I then sat there and remembered what I had been waiting for all day. I sighed and leaned back in my chair, looking up at my bedroom ceiling.

'Was it just a mistake?'

'Maybe I was just imagining things'

Before any other thoughts popped into my already damaged brain I heard a

'Ding'

I snapped my head to the right and got up from my chair, walking over to my bed. I picked up my phone and turned it on.

'New message from unknown number'

I opened it and it read:

"Hi, it's Dan. You gave me your number."

I smiled and begin to type a reply

"Hi Dan, it's Phil :)"

I sent it, then flopped down onto my bed.

The next few messages were the usual:

"How are you?"

"What's up?"

And the other usual questions people ask each other.

I started noticing around 11:00 that his replies were taking a little longer and were shorter than before.

To Dan:
"Are you tired? You can go to bed, it's getting late"

From Dan:
"But I like taking to you"

To Dan:
"Go to sleep, love"

From Dan:
"Okay, I will"

I looked at his message but before I could reply he sent another

From Dan:
"11:11 make a wish"

I smiled at that. Then I made my wish.

To Dan:
"Thanks. I did."

From Dan:
"Goodnight, Phil"

To Dan:
"Goodnight Dan"

I woke up the next morning and made my way to the shower. Afterwards I blow dried my hair and then put on some black skinny jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. I brushed my teeth, straightened my hair, grabbed my phone and my backpack, then was out the door for school.

The drive there isn't that long and soon enough I pulled up to the school. My group of friends were outside of the building, talking. I got out of my car and walked over to them.

"Hey Phil"

"What's up Philip?"

"Heeeeyyy"

All of those came from my group of friends.

"Hey" I replied back

School doesn't start in another 15 minutes so we usually just chill outside of the building and talk in the morning.

We were all just talking and then I turned my gaze to see my favorite lilac prince with his signature pink flower crown walking to the entrance of the building.

"Hey guys I'm gonna go in early today I uh- I have to work on a project. I forgot about it!"

I said, and Andrew gave me a look that said he knew exactly why I wanted to go in the building.

I walked away and while I was walking Andrew yelled to me

"You'll do great Phil! Good luck, you'll ace it!"

I turned around and gave Andrew a small smile before turning back and walking through the doors to the school.

'Now where is Dan's locker?'
