Two Of A Kind

Phil: Twenty One

When Dan asked to spend another night I couldn't refuse. With everything that happened with Emo coffee eyes, which neither of us brought up again, by the way, I needed to know more.

If only I had the guts to talk to him about it.

"So, why do you have such a nice tree house if it never gets used? I mean look at this place! It looks like a professional tree house!" Dan said as he climbed into the tree house.

He was right though, for a tree house that had been neglected for so long it was in good shape. It had a door, Windows, sleeping bags, some books. Little Phil was such a nerd.

"Um excuse you, it is a professional Tree house. It worked hard for it's degree." I joke. Dan turns to me with an unamused face, but ot turns quickly into laughter, showing me that he did actually find my joke funny.

"Oh okay I'm sorry. But seriously, why don't you ever use this place?" He asks.

"I don't know, I guess I used to use it a lot, but it slowly got forgotten about. I should use it more often though." I respond, cleaning up some dust that hand landed around.  Because I hadn't used it in so long it was a little run down.

Showing dan around the tree house was great and all, but I just couldn't stop thinking about how he's Emo Coffee eyes. And about all the things he had said about me. It felt like everything i said was just stalling for something more important.

I know I like Dan, and I'm pretty sure Dan likes me based on what he has said, but I don't have the confidence to say anything.

There are just so many ways and event can turn out and I never know what's going to happen. The one thing I liked about having basically no friends was I didn't have to worry about my relationships with anyone else. It's hard to not be in control of every situation sometimes.

I guess I just get to distracted with my thoughts and so I don't say or do things that I actually want said or done. And-

"Phil? Phil...! Earth to phil? Are you in there?" I hear Dans voice come through my excessive thinking.

"What? Oh sorry I just have zoned out there for a second. What were you saying?" I jump out of my daze, slightly embarrassed. Usually when I zone out no one cares to notice.

"You sure you're Okay? You seemed kinda upset." Dan Sounded concerned.

"Oh no I'm fine, it's alright." I smile, and Force a laugh. Please just move on.

"Alright... um anyways I was asking if you wanted to go inside and play some video games? I saw you had a few. But if you don't want to because you're afraid you'll loose then I understand." Dan said smugly.

"Oh it's on. Last one to the house loses!" I yell as I make a dash down the ladder. Running isn't my forte though. I still won though because of my lead and because running isn't Dans Forte either.

I guess saying what's on my mind will have to wait

I'm so tired. Today I have 3 hours of PSAT testing, and 2 hours of lectures about college and mental health.

What's your favorite bird?

Name something that's blue, but you cannot say something that someone has already said!

What's your birth stone?

How many mirrors do you have in your room?

Is your phone charging right now?

Love you! Bye!
