wrong number. part two

i ponder, wondering why the fuck i'm up at 4am in the morning with no sleep. but mainly the temptation to text the number i was given.

maybe it was the girl's number and she didn't want to be overheard by chris and pj?

at that thought, i'm brought to my phone screen and a blue bubble saying 'hello'.

'hello?..who is this?'

'your mum.'

'lol. seriously though?'

'well, i don't know if this is katie's number, but she said she gave me a wrong number so.'

'aha, being straight to the point i guess? so you're a guy?'

'yup.'

'ah, so that's why she gave you my number, lol.'

'wut'

'i'm a big gay man.'

i bring the screen closer to my face, and then back again, making sure i read the text right.

'did i read that right?'

'yes.'

'well..i never thought you would just come out to me like that, you don't even know me. for all i know i could be really homophobic.'

'so what? abuse me over text, go on then.'

i can tell he's been abused for being gay before, just by his cocky and brave texts.

'lol, i'm not homophobic, i'm the opposite. i'm gay too.' i admit too, knowing it's fine since he's the same.

'LOL why tf did you ask katie for her number then?!'

'my friends forced me too, i haven't even decided to say i'm gay to them yet, they're the only people i have as friends, i can't afford to loose them.'

he quickly changes subject, 'are you still in secondary school?'

'unfortunately, last year though! you?'

'nope, finished that rubbish 4 years ago. i'm 20 years.'

i'm taken back, i shouldn't be talking to him.

'ah, so you could be an ax murder for all i know, eh?'

'no, no, no i promise, i'm not!'

'aha, sure. what's your name?'

'phil. phil lester.'
