It was 7 in the Sunday morning. I didn't know why I woke up earlier. I went to skype and saw Phoenix was online. Actually I had one week left before going to school on Monday. I didn't chat him first because I was shy. I just let my skype online. 

A few hours later, the skype logo turned to yellow. I got a new message and it was from Phoenix. Alan was online too but he didn't message me. 

"Hey,"

"Hey, what's up?"

Suddenly he called me without asking and I saw him on his bed and his room was really dark because he turned off the lights. I talked to him for 3 hours even more. My mom kept yelling at me to have breakfast but I ignored her.

If only you know, Mom.

I wanted to talk to Phoenix  because I was intrigued to know more about him. He told me that he was lying yesterday. Alan and Phoenix were not Chinese and never lived in China. They live in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

"I hope you won't mad at me," said Phoenix as he stared at me through his screen.

And now I get it

He promised me that we would have video chat again at 10 pm yesterday but he wasn't online. He wasn't because of the time difference.

"You should watch Pewdiepie," Phoenix suggested as the screen lights flashed his blue eyes.

"Why should I?" I shrugged.

"Just go look up for Amnesia," he typed and smiled.

Besides that, he asked some stuff that I like to do.

"What's your hobby?" asked Phoenix as he reached his phone.

"Singing?" I answered as I rolled my eyes.

"Sing for me." Phoenix insisted.

I denied but I directed him to my soundcloud link instead.

"Would you stop and take a look at me noooowwwwwwww," Phoenix sang and laughed.

"No way!" I answered as I got closer to the screen. "Why that song? I have a lot which is better than that."

I was chuckled because my covers are all embarrassing but I don't know why I like uploading my covers on soundcloud

"I wish I could pass the audition for Indonesian Idol," I teased as I showed him my sad look. "Even though I knew I would never pass the audition because I never took the form." I laughed.

"You can be the winner of Indonesian Idol, seriously," He cheered me up instead.

Is he deaf?

My voice even sounds like a dying chicken

He asked me to sing directly but I couldn't because I never sang for someone before and I never had any intentions to do so. 

3 hours had passed by

"You should listen to Daft Punk," Phoenix suggested as he yawned. "Listen to Digital Love. I love that one."

"Alright, wait a second." I answered as I immediately looked up for the song on youtube.

I found Daft Punk

But I didn't like the song

"This song is great. I like it," I comforted as I tried my best to appreciate.

"Awesome," answered Phoenix as he smiled. "Pat, I have got to sleep. I don't want to die today because I want to see you again tomorrow."

I went offline and smiling like a weirdo. I never found a guy like him online. I used to meet people who are so cold and boring to talk to but he is not. Then I thought, he willed himself to sleep late for me. That was an amazing thing for me to see someone I just met would do that kind of thing.
