Phil's POV:

"PHIL GET UP YOU LAZY OAF!!!" I hear Jake yell while he is walking up the stairs. "You're going to be late on your first bloody day!!" he adds as he barges into my room.

I turn over to give him the death stare before realizing what he is saying. I look at my clock on my bedside table and see the time says 7:30 am. My eye's bulged out of my head. I jump out of my bed and run to my on-suite bathroom. "Why the bloody hell didn't you wake me up earlier!" I yell at Jake as I slam my bathroom door to take a shower.

"Umm I did!! Three times!" He laughed and I can hear him shut my bedroom door. I groan as i step in the shower. Of course I would sleep in on my first day of work at one of the biggest companies in London. Great. I have about 20 minutes to fix my hair, get dressed, eat breakfast and hail a cab. Then only 40 minutes to make it to the other side of London. Again Fucking great. I quickly scrub my body and wash my hair then step out of the shower. While i have towel wrapped around my waist I quickly brush my teeth. Coffee is going to taste swell today... not. I start to style my hair realizing that it will probably just look like a flop. I rush out of my bathroom and back into my room and start to change. "Jake make me bagel please!" I shout to my flatmate as I finally do up the last button on my blue checkered shirt. I can't hear a response so i hope he is making me one. I grab some socks; one with pugs and the other with banana's on it. I put my dress shoes on and give myself a look over in the mirror. I quickly realize my vision is blurry. Ugh I don't have time to put my contacts in so I put my glasses on, checking the mirror one more time. I grab my briefcase, phone, charger and wallet and rush out of my bedroom and down the stairs. When i enter the living room I see the clock says 7:40. I have 5 minutes until i need to be out the door.

"Here I made you coffee and a bagel." Jake hands me as I enter the kitchen. "Also, I call you a cab the should be here in about two minutes." he adds checking his watch. "Thank you soo much!" I say setting my briefcase down and picking up the bagel and coffee. I take a bite of the bagel and head for the door. "What would you do without me!" he shouts. "Probably die!" I yell back with a chuckle and walk out through the front door. I could hear him laughing as I close the door. The cab pulls up and the window rolls down. "Phil Lester?" the cabbie asks me. "Yes that is me!" I say. I open the door and start to get in when the front door to my apartment swings open and Jake pops out. "Forgetting something!" he rushes handing me my briefcase I set down when I pick up the bagel and coffee. "You are a lifesaver!" i scream and give him a big hug goodbye. "Good luck at your first day, Green Bean!" he squeezes me. "Bye!" I say as I jump fully in the cab and close the door. I give the cabbie the address. Then turn to wave by to Jake as we drive away.

It takes us about 35 minutes to get to the office and when we finally get there I'm shaking. "Thanks a lot!" I smile at the cabbie handing him more than enough to cover my fair. "No problem mate. Have a great first day" he replies then drives away. I make sure I have all my stuff then look up to see the giant sign saying Howell Industries. I shake off my nervousness and walk in through the revolving doors. I quickly walk up to the front desk."Hello Sir, how can I help you?" the girl, whose name tag says Angie, greets me. "Hey! Mine name is Phil Lester, today's my first day in the publishing department." I respond back with a bright smile. "Ahh yes, Mr. Lester! Welcome the Howell family. Here is your badge. Make sure you have in on you everyday. Just go to the elevators on your right and go to the 5th floor. Thats is Publishing. Your boss will meet you there." She hands me the badge then points to the elevator. "Bye thank you." I rush out and head to the lift. I quickly press the up button and wait for one of the elevators to reach my level. As soon as the lift doors open i rush in and push the button for the 5th floor. I nervously shake until the doors open and I enter Howell Publishing. It looks amazing but also busy. There will people up walking around from office to office and desk to desk. The people who didn't have offices, have desks, there are no cubicles, it was very open and friends.
