Life went on for Phil. He graduated high school, and now he was currently in his 4th year of College. He was majoring in English since he probably wanted to be an English teacher some day. He wasn't too sure what he really wanted to do, but teaching seems like a good idea to him. There was a moment in life where he wanted to minor in Film Editing due to all the YouTube video he watches, but he decided not to since there was no point in doing so.  


I love watching Shane Dawson on YouTube he thought to himself. If only I was just as amazing as him and had the talent and confidence to talk on camera like that. I kept watching his series "Shane and friends" until I looked at the clock on the laptop. Oh no, it's already 2:00 and I have work at 2:30. I am going to be late, if I take the bus. Maybe PJ can give me a ride if I ask him nicely. Phil grabbed his phone and texted his buddy 


-Phil: Hey, I am really late to work. Can you give me a ride, please!

-PJ: UGH PHIL

-Phil: PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE I will love you forever and ever!

-PJ: I am lazy and currently on a marathon on Netflix, but for you I will pause it, get up and go. Be there in 5 minuets

-Phil: THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE MY LIFE SAVER XX 


Phil quickly changed into his work clothes and waited for his text message. PJ and him have been friends since the beginning of college and PJ was such a good friend to him. 


*Flashback*


I am so nervous, I hope it isn't showing, I thought to myself as I walked towards the back of my first English class. I know sitting in the front is the ideal place to be but that wasn't my thing. I have been sitting in the back of all my classes since kindergarten, I was such an awkward child and it showed. I tried to be normal, but I would always just say random phrases and animal noises and skip around. I guess the other kids didn't like it and thought it was weird. They would look at me like if I was some sort of.... well animal and walk away. Its okay though, I didn't mind being a bit anti social, even though it meant lonely lunch breaks and a lot of time reading in the library. 


Not too long after sitting down, another guy with amazing green eyes looked at me and said "Hey, is this seat taken?' 


"Not at all " I answered and smiled at him

"Great, well now it is" he smiled back and sat down." I am PJ by the way"

"I am Philip but please call me Phil for short" I said

"Cool, are you a first year like me? He asked

"Yes, this is my first class ever! I am majoring in English how about you?" I asked hoping he wouldn't feel like i was invading his personal life. 


" I am majoring in theater, I like to think that my creative mind and acting skills will take me somewhere in life someday," he chuckled to himself." I feel like I can do it even though a part of me feels like I can't, my parents didn't seem too impress on this decision, they wanted me to do med school or something like that but I really didn't want to. Opps, sorry, I am telling you my whole life story and I just met you. I bet you want me to shut up now," he laughed. 


"Of course not, I am actually really proud of you to rebel against your parents like that! Please show me the kind of work you do and stuff, I will be your number one fan once you get famous!" I responded, slightly giggling


"Of course and I will give you backstage VIP tickets so you can have the best view" he was laughing now.

"DEAL! I said a little too loud.

After that we kept in touch and became pretty close friends. I usually went to watch him perform whenever he had a performance of some sort. I believe in him.


*Flashback over*


-Text received-

-PJ: I am outside

-Phil: COMINGGGGGGGGGG

I quickly grabbed my wallet and keys and ran out the door to go meet my friend. Thank you so much PJ, I don't know what I would had done without you 

"No problem Phil" PJ smiled at Phil.
