Dan's POV

@danisnotonfire: hello

I backspaced. 

@danisnotonfire: hey XD

No

@danisnotonfire: hi :)

I inhaled and hit send. It's roughly 11pm at night and I highly doubt that he'll reply. Not only because its 'late', but because I'm just some random guy with a weird username, attempting a conversation with a cool guy. I sat my computer on my bad and stood up to get the charger. I walked over to it when I heard a ding. What?

I tiptoed over to my computer. 

@amazingphil: hey! i'm phil 

My breath caught up and I picked up the computer. Why am I so nervous all of a sudden? 

d:  i'm dan. 

d: sry, I'm a new follower and wanted to say hi.

Why did I send that. Oh my god.

p: nice to meet you dan. are you on fire?

I giggled.

------------------

I woke up with my alarm at 7am the next morning. I sit up, a horrid cramp in my neck, and look at the screen. It wasn't a dream. You actually were talking to him. We had talked for 2 hours, ending around 2am with a goodnight, talk to you later. 

Memories flooded my mind of information I had learned. He's a cool guy, really. Not to mention, frickin' adorable. And hot. What.

I drag myself to get dressed. I throw on some dark shit as usual and did my hair, teeth, etc. I grabbed an apple and went to hell, ahem I mean school. 

The day seemed to drag on longer than normal. I couldn't wait to get home and talk to Phil. He just popped up in my feed and instantly became a sudden bubble of fun in my life. I twiddled my thumbs, thudded my feet, and stared at the clock. Friends talked to me and I talked to them but my mind was somewhere else. It was focused on that one boy and my computer screen. 

I crawled through math, fell asleep in English and squirmed through chemistry until it was finally the end of the day. Surprisingly my mom got off work early today and picked me up from school. 

"Hey Dan, we have to go get your brother and then run to the store quick so do me a favor and just go with it?" My mom said as soon as I got in the car. I internally groaned and sighed.  I wanted to go home, obviously, to get on my computer and message Phil. I'm not clingy. Stop that.

I looked at my mum, and her ragged hair. She looked stressed, probably a rough day at work. I guess being a secretary of a big corporate chain can be pretty awful, but respectable and decent.

"Okay mum, then lets go. And when we get home, I'll help with dinner." I told her. I'm not a mum's boy but I do love her and my dad, even though they can suck sometimes a lot. Let's not mention my brother. He's pesky and annoying. But I guess I care for him. My mum thanks me and ruffles my hair, making it a bit curly. 

We run the errands, and I listen to music the whole car ride so I don't have to go through the whole 'so how was your day' conversation. We pull up in my driveway and immediately run upstairs to my room. I grab my computer and open it up. There's a message. 

@amazingphil: morning dan :) 

I blush a bit. That was around 10am. It's now like 4pm. Oh boy.

@danisnotonfire: well its not morning now, but hello xD

He immediately wrote back.

p: hey lol I forgot you had school. but bonjour, whats up, hows your day, I suck at conversation starting

d: same lol but school is school, you know, hell. but I wanted to message you bc I found the old video game we were talking about

p: seriously ?! wow that's cool. !

d: yeah....

p: well i'm glad that  you messaged me back, dan that is in fact not on fire. 

d: yeah ?

p: yep, its good to make a new friend

d: good. I like this.

p: yep, anyways so I was at this store and this old lady completely bombarded me about my hair and clothes and went on and on about how bad I am and that I'm going to hell.

d: WhAt ? that's insane!

We spent what seemed like hours talking, when it was only a bit because I had to make dinner. We chatted after dinner and all night. And it was amazing .
