A little bit of a late birthday chapter fir Philip

Third person POV

Ella shut her locker door and saw Philip standing in the hall. She walked over to him as the person he was talking to walked away. He was facing away from her so all Ella could see was his curls. "Happy Birthday Loser"

Philip turned around at the sound of Ella's voice. He was surprised she was talking to him right now but he didn't really care. He smiled and blushed slightly when he saw a small gift wrapped in light blue wrapping paper in her hands. "Thanks"

Ella looked at her phone to check the time. "I'm heading to class" She turned to walk away but she stopped. "I'll see ya later Pip"

Philip should've gone to class too but he had to be impatient and open his present immediately. He saw a multi pack of nice gel pens and a nice notebook with a leather cover. He smiled lightly as he admired it. Philip noticed a note in the book so he too it out a read it.

It said, "Hey Pip. I probably told you this when I gave you the gift but Happy Birthday. I know it's not much but you said you liked writing music and poems so a notebook and nice pens seemed like a good idea. If you want to return this you can, I won't mind (I left the receipt in the back of the book). Sorry the gift is kinda shitty but whatever.

Sincerely,

Ella Jefferson

Ps. Thanks again for the new sweatshirt"

Philip grinned. Some of the nicest things Ella had said to him were in this note. He was definitely keeping it, and the gift. Honestly it was insanely thoughtful. The fact that Ella remembered a stupid thing Philip told her, meant so much to him.

"Her signature is so pretty" Philip thought. "Of course it's pretty, everything she does is pretty." "But she's punched you in the face" "and that's hot."
"I have real issues" Philip shoved his thoughts away and started to head to class.

Do you want to know the worst part of being popular? Your birthday is a nightmare. Everyone running over to tell you "Happy Birthday", fighting over who had the better present for you, and all you wanna do is spend time with your friends. (A/n idk if this is true, I know nothing about being popular, that's Glinda's job)

Ella saw Philip trying to sneak into class so no one would see him by hiding behind someone.

"What are you doing?" Ella asked from behind him.

Philip got startled and jump to a completely upright position. Everyone looked at him. Philip glared at her. "Look what you did" He said through his teeth.

Ella laughed and start walking towards her seat next to Georges. "Have fun Philly"

Philip prepared for the inevitable. In the matter of seconds the entire class erupted into choruses of "Happy Birthday"

Georges looked over at Ella, who was smirking. "That was a little mean wasn't it"

Ella laughed, "yep"

——————————————————

Ella sat down at her desk to do her homework. She opened her textbook to see a piece of paper with familiar handwriting.

"Hey Ella,
I'm not sure if you're going to see this, but I hope you do.
I'm having a small "party" I guess. My mom told me I should invite you and honestly I don't hate the idea. That is if you want to come, and if your dad lets you. If you do come bring Mary, Angie won't shut up about how she doesn't want to be the only not high schooler there, even if she is almost in high school.
Anyway yeah. Also thanks for the gift. I know you said it was stupid but I actually liked it.
(If you need more convincing Theo's coming)"
