Chapter 2

DANS POV

The common room was full of excited college students as the clocked ticked to seconds away from four o clock.

It was the last day of college before the summer, and for me, it was the last time I was ever coming back.

I was heading off to university in September, and even though studying Law didn't sound like the most interesting thing ever, I knew it had to be more fun than what I was doing right now.

The clock struck four, and all the students poured out the room, leaving for the summer.

I stared at the empty room, before smiling to myself.
Maybe I'd make friends in university.
I hope I do...

I left the college for the last time ever and walked to the train station.

I sat on a bench and pulled my phone out, scrolling through Twitter.

AmazingPhil recent tweet

I immediately clicked on the notification and read the tweet.

Can't wait to be meeting all of you guys in a few weeks, get your tickets before they sell out!

I smiled to myself and squealed quietly.
I can't wait to meet him.

What do I say?
Will I even be able to speak?

I was cut off from my thoughts when the train showed up, making me rise to my feet and walk over to it, leaping over the gap and onto the train.

I sat down on a seat opposite an elderly lady and went back to Twitter.

Got my ticket, can't wait!

I replied to Phils tweet and switched my phone off, placing it on the table.

I rest my head against the window and starred at the sea of grass which seemed to roll on for eternity.

There wasn't many interesting views in Reading, but I guess there could be worse views that fields.

My phone buzzed making me jump slightly.
I picked it up and unlocked it, going to the notification.

AmazingPhil replied to your comment:
Thankyou! See you there :)

I slammed my phone back down on the table, standing up in my seat.
"Oh my god!" I screeched, making the elderly lady in front of me jump back in her seat and scowl at me.

I looked down at her, slightly embarrassed.
"S-Sorry." I stuttered, feeling my face heat up.

I sat back in my seat, and starred at his reply, my lips stretched out into a wide smile.

I can't believe he replied to me.
I giggled softly to myself and liked his reply, staring back out the window until the train stopped.

I got up and left the train, the woman opposite me muttering something under her breath, and walked along the train station.

I unlocked my bike from the bike rack and clambered on top of it, cycling home.

I tapped my fingers repeatedly on the dinner table, earning frowns from my parents.

"Daniel, for god's sake will you stop tapping." My dad growled through gritted teeth.

"Sorry." I murmured.
I stopped tapping and bounced my knee up and down under the table.

My dad sighed and turned to me, "What's up with you?"

I let out a loud breath and buried my head in my hands, "I don't want to do Law, it's not what I want to do with my life and it sounds boring."

My dad shrugged, "Well what else would you do."

I looked at him, "I'm making some money from YouTube, I could do t-"

"Dan! For Christ sake, you will not be doing that stupid video crap you do. It isn't a job." He spat.

I groaned and stood up, "I'm going to my room."

"Finish your dinner." My mum told me.

"I'm not hungry." I muttered, walking off and storming up the stairs.

The only reason I'm  looking forward to going to university is because it's far from my family.

Manchester is over three hours away from Reading and I know my parents won't bother travelling that far, and I'm certainly not either.

I lay on my bed for a while before getting up and opening my drawers, taking out my camera and lighting equipment.

Making videos cheered me up, and that's what I needed right now.

I set it all up and sat on my bed.

3, 2 1
I counted down in my head.

"Hello internet," I started.

I then began babbling on about personal space which may be boring to other people, but it took my mind off things I didn't want to think about right now.

All I needed to do was focus on meeting Phil and I would be okay.
