Unknown: hi, its Phil... Billy gave me your number, meet me at the park in 15 minutes

Oh no... Why does he want to meet me? More importantly, why did Billy give him my number? He knows Phil and I don't really get along...

"Billy?" I say as I walk through the corridor.

"Yeah?" he replies. I walk in and see him playing some game on his computer. I lean against the wall and cross my arms, showing him I'm annoyed with him.

"Why did you give Phil my number?" I ask him, frowning.

"Oh, he said you guys are friends now," Billy smiled to me. This boy. He'd believe you if you said Santa is real!

15 minutes... Shoot! I have 5 minutes to get ready!!

I quickly run my hands through my hair, deciding I don't have enough time to straighten it. After changing into jeans and a shirt, I put my shoes on and run out the door.

"Hi Dan," I hear someone say behind me. I turn to see Phil, which made me jump slightly. I'm still not used to the whole 'nice' thing.

"Hey Phil... Why did you want me to meet you?" I say quietly. I don't want to sound rude... He might get angry at me.

"Dan... Its my Dad... My real Dad is trying to contact me..." Phil frowns. He doesn't look happy about it at all.

"Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?" I say.

"But I'm so angry at him. I'm scared I'll do something I regret if I meet him..." Phil says, turning his head to look at me. He looks sad. It hurts me to see him sad. I know it sounds stupid after all that he put me through... But seeing him sad is hurting me.

"I'll go with you... I mean, only if you want me to... I don't have to of course, its totally your choice an-"

"Yes. Thanks Dan," Phil smiles to me as he cuts me off from my rambling. Well. I guess I'm going with him!

"I'll meet you at ten tomorrow morning, OK?" Phil says as we stop outside my house.

"OK... See you tomorrow Phil," I smile as I step inside.

This feels so weird. I never thought I'd see the day when Phil and I would get along. But life seems to throw surprises at everyone all the time, huh?

A/n: I updated late again... Sorry... I may or may not have accidentally deleted the chapter so I had to rewrite it/try to remember what I wrote in the first place... Anyways, here you go!!!
