(Joey's POV)

"Good morning Joey! I hope your day is fantastic, I'll be here if you ever need anything."

The message from my best friend Daniel pops up on my phone, I smile before quickly typing back "Shouldn't you be sleeping, Mister? What are you doing up at three a.m?" Hopping out of bed, I run through my morning routine, wanting to get to school as quickly as possible. Once I'm in school, I won't be reaching for my phone every second, wanting to message Daniel. My friend Shane greets me at the door, a wide smile on his face "hi Joey!" "Well hello, I don't think I have ever seen you smile this big before. What did I miss over the weekend?" "Ryland asked me out" I look over to Ryland's table, he was high fiving his friends while looking at Shane. "That's amazing Shane!" "So, how's loverboy?" I tilt my head in confusion "who?" "Daniel, duh!" I look down at my phone, the empty lock screen staring back at me "he's the same as always. He sent me a good morning text again" "ooh, have you tried FaceTiming him yet?" "Shane, we talk on Instagram DMs, I haven't given him my number."

Math class is boring as fuck. My teacher wants us to go to the board and do the equations when he's supposed to be teaching us something new. The worst part of it is, the connection here is abysmal. I can't message Daniel. Looking around at all the classmates, they have a full equation written out and answered, their eyes glued to the teacher. Nerds. "Mr. Graceffa, why haven't you been writing anything down?" I shrug, keeping my eyes facing my blank notebook page. "Do you understand the equation?" I nod, he sighs "well show me you know how to do it." Falling back in my chair, I grab my phone. No connection. Not even a '1x'.  "I wonder what Daniel's doing right now." Daniel lives on the West Coast while I live in the East, it's a three hour time difference, but it feels like we're on opposite sides of the world.

"Hey Joey, I know you're in math class right now. And I know since it's your least favorite class, I should write something that'll make you smile. Except I don't know how to do that. And to answer your question, I was up at three because I knew you'd be waking up for school. I went right back to sleep after I sent that message, just so you know."

Daniel's message made me smile the minute I got a connection. "Yes math class was a challenge, but I got through it. Like I always do. But you know you don't have to try to make me smile, just seeing the Instagram notification makes me happy. I'm so glad I didn't mess up your sleep schedule, I know how important that is to you." Hitting send, I was happy until my phone was grabbed from me "you can have this back at the end of the period!" My eyes widen as my teacher storms off, putting my phone in her drawer. What the fuck? Today sucks. Shane sits next to me "what just happened?" I shrug "I was just replying to Daniel, why did she do that?" Ryland sits on the other side of me "what's going on?" I shake my head "something ridiculous."

My teacher, the brilliant person that she claims to be, remembered that I also have her for third period. So, she told me she's keeping my phone until the end of third. Are you kidding me? Shane gives me his phone, allowing me to use it during the advisory class we have together.

"My sleep schedule has been messed up since I first messaged you, so don't worry about that :P"

"Just making sure. You will never guess what just happened."
