Chapter 10

Phillip's POV*

"So that's the machine you and Daniel built?" Phil asked me, looking over the complicated blue prints.

"Yep." I replied, popping the 'p'.

"Cool." Dan muttered, scanning the paper carefully.

"Do you think this world has these materials?" I asked, hopefully.

"Possibly, I'm not too sure, I'm not very sciency." Phil chuckled.

"How ironic." Dan retorted earning a cheeky grin from Phil. I smiled when I saw both of them hold their gaze for just that little fraction longer than it should have. Cue blushing! I smirked and rolled up my paper, tucking it into my pockets.

"Well I'll have to do some research and see if I can get the metals I need because I don't feel like starting from scratch!" I sighed.

"Mhm, who wants Shake Away?" Dan asked. Phil and I's hands immediately went up and we chuckled.

"Okay, I'll go. See you later." Dan smiled and went to leave.

"How do you know what I want?" I retorted.

"Pfft I know both of you well enough to know what your favourite milkshake is." He smirked and left. I sighed and turned to look at Phil who was looking sadly at the door. We both flopped down on the sofa and he switched the TV on, flicking through some channels.

I watched his movements, he looked sad. After a long five minute silence I rolled my eyes. "So are you going to tell me what's wrong or what?" I asked.

"I'm f-"

"Think about who you're talking to before you say that." I smirked. He rolled his eyes but turned to face me.

"Fine, I'm just feeling a bit depressed that's all, nothing serious!" He tried to shrug off.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Are you really going to keep lying to me or are you going to fess up? I know how I try hide information and you're showing all the signs right now." I pointed out, raising an eyebrow.

"Ugh fine. I can trust you right?" He asked wearily.

"Well we're pretty much the same person so I hope so." I chuckled.

"Ok ... um it's about Dan and I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable considering ... anyway, I think ... I think I -I like him?" He frowned.

"You think or you know?"

"I know."

"How long?"

"About a year now ..." He trailed off, embarrassed. I smiled, I was around the same amount of time.

"And what bit are you sad about?" I asked cautiously.

"I don't think he likes me that way." He sighed. I nearly laughed out loud. I know I could just tell him Dan's nuts about him and tell him to kiss him already but I'm not someone who goes blurting someone's secret around so I'll have to get them together another way.

"Are you sure? You never know." I smiled. He smiled back but shrugged, deciding to drop the subject. I grinned to myself but then a thought come to mind.

"What about Sarah?" I asked.

"Who?" He frowned, then realization dawned on his features. "Oh, her. I keep forgetting about her..."

"So she isn't the one then." I teased and he grinned and rolled his eyes. The conversation came to a halt when Dan opened the door with three cups balanced in his arms.
