It was the 17th of May and my bestfriend, Violet's 21st Birthday.
Hi, my name is Hayley Griffins. I'm 25 years old, I teach 5 years old for a living, and I love horror movie and video games. I think of myself as a bit of a tomboy, even though tonight I'm wearing a dress tonight, but that's just because it's a special occasion.
"You guys are the best, I can't believe you planed this whole party and invited all these people," Violet half shouted, half spoke to our group of six.
You see theirs six of us in our main group of friends. Violet, Sophie, Belle, Alex, Alice, and I.
I looked around the room at the people we had invited. My eyes stopped on a group of four guys. I saw one and of course he just happened to notice me looking and I turned away, but looked back after a second to see him smirking at me. I gave him a slim smile and turned back to my friends as Violet finished her speech.
"Now that the speech is finished, let's go dance," Alice stated excitedly.
"Yeah!" The other shouted in reply.
"Violet, do you mind if I go out onto the balcony for a bit," I asked.
"No problem," She replied as she went with the others to the dance floor. I walk out to the balcony and close the glass door behind me. I lean against the rail, beer in one hand, rail in the other. I hear the music get louder, so someone must be opening the door. I turn around and it's the guy from before. I can get a much better look at him. He's tall, like 6ft tall. He has straight black hair and the fringe is swept to one side. He has light blue eyes. He's wearing a brown short sleeve top with a pocket which has the picture of a cat on it, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of high top converse. He is gorgeous.
I realized that I have been staring at him and I look away.
"Can I join you?" He asks closing the door behind him.
"Sure," I reply not turning around to look at him.
"I'm Phil, by the way," He said walking over to me and standing next to me.
"I'm Hayley," I say letting myself take a look at him to find him looking at me.
"So why are you here?" He asked. This confused me, I mean isn't everyone here to celebrate Violet's birthday.
"I'm here because it's my best friends birthday, why are you here?" I asked.
"Oh, my mate, PJ, was invited by some girl called Sophie and he invited us to come," He replied.
"That's nice," I said which turned into an awkward silence which I ended by asking, "So what's your job?"
"Oh, um, I work on youtube," He replied awkwardly.
"Cool, so do you like program it or something," I said.
"Uh, no, I have a youtube account and I'm paid to make videos for it," He said even more awkwardly.
"Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun," I said trying to break the ice.
"Yeah, it is, I get to go all over the world for events and things," He said more confident," So, what do you do?"
"I'm a teacher," I replied.
"You're joking right?" He said trying not to laugh.
"No, why? I teach 5 year old's, what's so bad about that?" I said in defense.
"Sorry, didn't mean to be rude, teaching 5 year old's would be fun, I thought you would be teaching older kids, which doesn't sound very fun, and judging that you're at a party rather then getting ready for your next lesson, I think you're a fun person," He replied sincerely.
"You think I'm fun?" I asked. No one had ever said I'm fun before, I was always the bossy one.
"So far, yes, but I'll let you know at the end of the party," He replied, "Hey, just wondering, have you heard of Muse?" He asked.
"Well they're only the best band ever," I stated," Let me go get my bag, stay here," I said as I ran to get my bag. It had the word Muse written on it in every language. I ran back and showed Phil the bag, he loved it.
Phil and I kept talking and I found out that we have a lot in common. We probably talked for about 2 hours until Alice came and told me that we need to go. I said goodbye to Phil and my other friends.
Alice and I got a cab back to our apartment because Alice was a bit drunk. When we got back I got my laptop and went to youtube. I typed 'Phil' in the search bar and the first thing that came up was a channel, AmazingPhil. I watched two of his videos and they were quite good. I had decided to watch a third when the door bell rung. Alice ran down to open the door. I couldn't hear the conversation, so I started watching the video when Alice called me down. I walked down and to my surprise Phil was standing at the door with my bag.
"You left your bag, so I thought I should bring it to you," He said awkwardly.
"Thanks, would you like to come in?" I asked.
"Sure, thanks," He said. He followed me in and sat down on the couch as I went to get some food. I got some chocolate. I sat down on the couch and Phil was looking at my laptop screen, which is when I remembered that I had his video on.
"Sorry, I just wanted to have a look," I said awkwardly.
"No, it's fine, it's just paused on a really bad face," He said laughing. I looked at the face and it was so funny. We talked more and I was forming a crush.
He got a text from his flat mate, I'm guessing because he said he had to go.
We walked and stood outside the door.
"Bye, I had a really nice time," He said.
"Me too," I said. He turned around and walked to the gate. I turned around and started to open the door when Phil spun me around and kissed me. It was a beautiful kiss.
"Sorry, I've just been wanting to do that," He said after we pulled away.
"It fine, I liked it," I said.
"Here's my number, call me," He said as he started leaving.
"I will."
