Chapter 11: I've decided

As I walked through the halls I spotted Roman, just the guy I needed to talk to. I rushed up to him and said, "Roman! I've decided."

He turned to me, asking, "You have? So are you going to be apart of the club or not?"

"I will!" The previous night I decided it would be exciting to be a King! Also, this would give me a chance to make some friends.

"That's fantastic! Just make sure you don't outshine me."

I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, so I chuckled, "Yeah, mate, of course, I won't take away your shiny-ness." I wanted to face-palm.

Roman spotted his friends across the hall and said, "Well, I gotta go, We can talk more about this later."

Then it was just me, walking to P.E all by my lonesome. On the way there, I spotted a boy in black and white with an impressive fringe. I waved to him cheerily, and called out, "Like your fringe!"

He looked at me, gave a tiny wave, and said in a shy way, "I like yours, too."

Wow, I wonder what bands he listens to, and how does he get his fringe so good? I'll have to ask him next time I see him. And suddenly my thoughts were only on him.

"Phil!" Someone called. "Your smoking again!"

I looked down at my hands, which were eliminating black smoke. That's what happened when I got excited. I took a deep breath in, then out, and the smoke cleared. "Thanks-" I looked around. "-whoever that was." 

Then a brilliant idea popped into my head. Maybe I can invite him to the royalty club. The idea made a grin spread across my face. I guess that's what I'm gonna do.

The entire day I was looking out for that well-done fringe, and I didn't see it again until lunch. He was standing in the corner, alone, munching on a bag of crisps.

Come on, Philly, you can do this, just walk up to him, and introduce yourself! I walked up to him, stopping at an arm's length away.

His gaze switched to me.

"Hello, I didn't introduce my Phil earlier and-" Wait, did you say, introduce my Phil?  "Oh my god I am so sorry, I meant I didn't introduce myself earlier, my name is-"

"-Phil," He finished for me. He was now wearing a small smile and said, "Hullo, my name is Dan."

"Dan, that's a nice name."

"Not really, it's pretty boring..." He looked down at the ground.

"Heh heh, well, what I came over here to ask you was ifyouwantedtojoinaroyaltyclubwithme?"

"What?"

"Doyouwanttojoinaroyaltyclubwithme?"

"uh...could you...slow down... I can't really...."

I sighed, "What I'm trying to ask is, would you like to join a royalty club with me?"

"I don't- I dunno. I'd have to see what it's like first."

"That's fair. I don't exactly know when the first meeting is going to be... But I'll let you know when I find out."

"Okay. I guess we'll talk then."

"Yeah, I guess we-" He was already gone, and I can tell where he went, the shadows on the wall were moving. "Wow." But I still didn't ask him what his favorite band is.
