Phil's POV

I live my life in a haze. Same routine everyday. Wake up, get dressed, go to school, come home. Home is never really exciting. If I'm not doing homework I mostly just play video games or read. I'm getting bored with my life honestly. I should be happy, I have an easy life! My life is just boring. My parents always work late and I don't really have friends. I really should stop pitying myself and get out of bed. It's Friday thankfully so I have the whole weekend ahead of me to do whatever I want, which will probably end up being nothing to be honest.

I roll out of bed, take a shower, and throw on some black skinny jeans and a blue T-shirt. As I head out the front door on my way to school I regret not wearing a jumper. Now that it's November it's starting to get pretty chilly out.

I sit in my first lesson, bored as ever. I'm sitting in the back by myself. It sucks not having any friends but I will live. I'm listening to Mrs.Richards drag on about our oh so important paper due next week when my phone vibrates. This is unusual because, like I mentioned, I dont really have any friends. At least none that care enough to text me. I don't check my phone immediately because Mrs.R is still talking. She walks back to her desk and I take out my phone.

You look beautiful today <3 That shirt really brings out your eyes xx

I'm shocked. Who would text me? And who would text me that?!
"What?" I say out loud accidentally. I quickly cover my mouth hoping no one heard. I look up from my phone to see a few heads turned to look at me and Mrs.R walking my way. Great.
"Mr.Lester is there something your confused about?" Mrs.R asks. At least she didn't see my phone.
"N-No" I manage to say, hoping she will leave me alone. She nods and walks back to her desk.

I go through the rest of my classes trying to ignore the message, but no matter how hard I tried my mind continuously drifted back to the text. It had to be a joke, right? Surly no one could have a crush on me. Most people didn't even give me a second glance.

Once school ends I walk home and immediately collapse on my bed. I'm not tired I just need time to think. By lunch I had decided that it had to be a joke. I mean seriously who would like me? Not to mention I'm the only gay kid in my grade. At least openly gay that is. I wonder how the mystery person got my number anyway-
My thoughts are cut off by my phone buzzing. I'm honestly not surprised to see who it is, I mean no one else has texted me in what felt like years. What easily could have been years. I open the text.

I hope you had a wonderful day <3 I also hope that someday soon I will be spending my days with you xx

I throw my phone down on my bed trying to decide if I want to text back or not. I think I am going to text back, I mean what's the worst that could happen?

To: Unknown Number
From: Phil

You can stop texting me now. The jokes up. Very funny

I wonder if anyone will text back or if the joke really is over. That's answer quickly when my phone buzzes almost immediately.

To: Phil
From: Unknown Number

Joke? What joke? Phil I really do like you xx

I still think it's a joke, but as I have nothing else to do I might as well play along.

To: Unknown Number
From: Phil

Can you tell me who your are then?

I know it's bad but I'm kind of hoping for a reply. I mean at least it's something to do. And maybe I will get a friend out of it. Or a boyfriend... No stop being ridiculous it's a joke.

To: Phil

Why should I do that? It's called secret admirer for a reason Philly :) xx

Philly? Did they just call me Philly? I realize I'm smiling like a fool. Phil this is a joke control yourself!

To: Unknown Number
From: Phil

What am I suppose to put as your contact name then? Also Philly? Really? A bit cheesy don't you think?

I honestly liked the name Philly I thought it was adorable, but there's no way in hell I'm letting a stupid joke get to me.

To: Phil
From: Unknown Number

Hm. Just put it as secret admirer. Don't worry though dear you will learn my name eventually xx

I consider putting it as secret admirer but I decide against it. What if my parents saw? Not like they are home anyways but I can always be cautious. Also are they implying I will actually get to meet them? Going a bit far for a joke if you ask me.

To: Unknown Number
From: Phil

Can you at least tell me your gender?

I'm hoping its a guy. I mean what if it's not a joke? If it really was why would they still be talking to me?

From: Unknown Number
To: Phil

Obviously I'm a boy. I'm bisexual Philly xx

Obviously? How is that obvious! I need to stop talking to my secret admirer. I want to keep talking but I have to finish my homework and do my chores. How fun.

To: Unknown Number
From: Phil

I'm gay but I'm assuming you already knew that. I have to go now but before I do can you just assure me that you are actually in my grade?

I seriously am hoping this is a kid from my school and not a creepy stalker. I'm starting to rethink the whole joke idea but I'm not sure yet.

To: Phil
From: Unknown Number

Of course I'm in your grade. Just to prove it you said 'what' when you saw my first text. That was adorable :3 xx

He was right. Thankfully. I don't reply to that but definitely think about it as I do my homework and chores.
