"Haha this is funny, can't wait to see what you're going to upload :)"

I stare at the screen, shocked. The first comment on my video! It has 20 views and someone left a comment. Phil hasn't seen it yet, he is still asleep I think. It's 8 am, I have to go to school now.

As I walk to school, I suddenly realize I haven't been there since I told the principal what happened. What did he do to Joel? Will his friends come after me?

I enter the school, on edge. I walk towards my locker and grab my books as quickly as I can. When I want to walk to class, I feel a hand on my shoulder.

I flinch and turn around. It's Pj, luckily.

"Dan! Good news!" he says.

"What?"

"The principal talked to Joel and he's not allowed to go to this school anymore. His parents were furious."

"Wait, so.. No bullying anymore?" I start to tear up.

"No! And we can hang out again now!" Pj says as he gives me a hug.

I quickly wipe away the tears. "What class do we have?"

"Art! Your favourite besides music." Pj says.

"Wait, how do you know that?" I ask.

Pj laughs at me. "Dan, we're friends, remember?"

I smile at him and we walk to class.
I still don't get why everything is so good all of a sudden. A month ago I got beaten up, cried myself to sleep every day, didn't have any friends. And now, suddenly, Pj comes along, I have a soulmate, an iPhone and I'm becoming friends with AmazingPhil.

AmazingPhil. Good name choice, he truly is amazing.

When we're almost at the classroom, I suddenly feel an extreme pain in my left wrist.

Ow!

"Ow!" I drop all my books and grab my wrist.

"Dan?! Are you okay? What happened?" A concerned Pj asks.

Shiiiaaiiiiitzxjj

You alright?

No

Me neither, what did you do? My wrist hurts so much!

I fell! I tripped and I fell down the stairs.

SUN, what if you broke your wrist?! This hurts so much, you must've broken it.

I don't know!! What do I do?

Is there anybody you live with?

Yeah, there's this girl but she's so annoying, I cannot deal with her right now.

I wish I could help you. You have to get to hospital as soon as you can.

I will. Sorry for the pain!

You don't have to apologize, now go!

"Earth on Dan? Are you there?" Pj waves his hands in front of my eyes.

I look up. I totally forgot that Pj doesn't know I have a soulmate.

"What were you doing? Are you okay? You suddenly just totally zoned out."

"Pj, have you ever heard of a soulmate?"
