     The bell rung, which meant the most glorious thing on earth, school was over. I ran outside thrilled to free. I got a lot of glares as I ran down the hall, not like I cared. Or at least not like I cared anymore, but we will talk more about that later.
I was in a rush to get home, after all I had people to see. No one knew about my outside life and that's how I wanted to keep it. Everyone just figured I went to the protests or wrote letters to the government telling them what they're doing wrong. However that was never the case see when I got out of that school building I had a social life that no one else knew about. It was a small one granite but a good one.
And when I say no one knew about it I mean no one. Well except Matthew, he was the new kid at our school, meaning he didn't know anyone. When he first came his English wasn't so good and well the only one who was willing to talk to him or try to talk to him was me. Mostly because at the time, I didn't have anyone to talk to at our school. So that is how we became friends.
      So there I was running through the hallways out of the school when something more unfortunate happened. Let's just say I'm not the most observant. So the fact that I ran into someone isn't really that surprising. It was who I ran into that was a shame.
     "Hey beautiful!" said Dan leaning against the wall.
     "Hello Daniel," I replied wishing I was anyplace but here.
     "Look at who it is Philly!" Dan said too excited.
     "Yeah it's Rosa," Phil said awkwardly.
     "Hey Phil," I said trying to hide my smile.
   "Hey," he said doing the same thing.
    "So how's my beautiful girl doing."
   "What is with the sudden interest in me Howell"
   "Why I don't know what you're talking about gorgeous, I have always had a thing for you."
    "Okay?" I said not believing him, "Well it was nice talking to you Phil. And Dan you were there but I really must be going now bye."I said while walking away anxiously.
"That was way too close. One of these days everyone is going to find out and then what will we do." I thought to myself worrying.
Whatever, it doesn't matter I mean nothing will change between us right? I don't want to think about the topic any longer, so I continued my walk away from hell. I got on my motor bike, put on my helmet and started to go to the music store. I love music store more than anything.
    I got there quickly, mostly because I knew the route there like the back of my hand. I walked in the doors and decided to look at some vinyl records while I was waiting. I know you can't use vinyl anymore but I still love them.
    I suddenly heard a loud BOO!! behind me.
    "What was that for?!?!" I yelled.
     "Fun," he said smirking.
     "So how did you get away from him."
    "Easy, he had to study in the library and I said I had to babysit my sister."
    "Wow Phil such a liar. I'm proud!" That's right Dan Howell's best friend was also my best friend. Take that popular kids!
     He rolled his eyes, "Whatever"
     "Well I've looked at every vinyl here about 1 million times so... I'm bored."
    "Well the new video game I have at my  house won't play itself. Come on let's go."
    We walked out of the store after waving to the people at the front desk.
     "So how is my best friend," he said as we left.
     I laughed, "Good but I mean I'll be better when I'm playing video games."
    "Aren't we all." We both took moment and laughed.
     We raced to his house on my motorbike and ran inside first stoping at the kitchen to raid the food. His mother waved at us but continued to walk away due to her doing the laundry while listening to music.
     "My mum has been up Obsessed with Ed Sheeran ever since you told her about him," Phil laughed.
     "What can I say, she has good taste."
     We got our snacks and ran into the living room.
     "It's my turn for the white remote," I said grabbing it.
     "Well it's my house so it's my remote," he said taking it from my hands and holding it above me teasingly. Me being the short person I am could not reach it.
       "No, you had it last time so this time it's my turn, besides you know it's the better remote."
      "I don't know," he started, "Dan's favorite color is black. So I don't know why you aren't all about that remote."
    I blushed at the mention of my crush. Alas it was true, and only Phil and Matthew knew it. I was in love with Daniel.
    "Whatever I-" in the middle of my sick burn I was gunna say I got a text.
     "What does it say?" Phil asked curiously.
   "It says Do you like sleeping?" I read out loud, "It's from an unknown number." Phil looked at the number.
     "Ohh that just Dan."
      "How did Dan get my number?"
     "Me and Matthew gave it to him," he smirked.
Tomorrow at school Matthew is dead. I typed back "yeah" and quickly got a response.
     "Cool, we should do it together sometime!" I read out loud again.
     I blushed a million shades of red, just then Matthew came out and took a picture of me blushing.
    "What the hell?!?! I thought you said you couldn't make it?!?!"
    "I lied so I could do that. Phil bet me he could make you blush." He handed phil $10.
   I smacked them both on the back of the head. Yeah, it was a small social life but a perfect one none then the less. I have Matthew to talk to at school and Phil to be secret friends with outside of school.
    I would love to be friends with him at school but stereotypes and such don't allow it. It doesn't bother us though, after all he has Dan and I have Matthew. Needless to say my life was perfect.
    I typed back, "nice try but u better start planning plan C, and it better not be another horrible pickup line."
