I dumped my rucksack on the floor and collapsed onto my bed. It was just like any other day. My laptop lay on my bed, along with the European Union Law essay which was due soon. I brush away the unfinished essay and put the laptop on my thighs.

I updated my Facebook status, liked some photos. Everyone on there seemed so happy, like they knew exactly what they wanted to do with their lives. I couldn't see myself having a career in Law, I wanted to do drama – but of course I thought it wasn't possible. It was too late then anyway.

I decided to watch some YouTube. I had always wanted to be someone who made videos on there, but I was always so scared people were going to judge me and anyway I didn't have an amazing sense of humour or personality.

I looked on my Twitter, scrolling through my tweets. AmazingPhil had tweeted me again: "Hey Dan, do you want to Skype? :3"

A smile filled my face. The AmazingPhil wanted to Skype me?

"Sure lol xD" I tweet back.

Connecting, please be patient

I saw Phil's face appear on my screen, he was smiling. My heart suddenly did that flippy over thing.

"Hi Dan," Phil said to me.

I blushed for some reason. Was I nervous or was it something else?

"Hi Phil," I replied.

"Are you in Uni right now?" he asked.

I sighed.

"Yeah and its literally shit."

We talked for a while. I was really nervous at first but soon I felt comfortable. I glanced at the clock on my wall; it was 9:00pm already. Over 3 hours – yet it had felt like minutes.

"It was great talking to you, Dan," said Phil, "But I really need to go now."

"That's fine,"

"Hey…uh…do you want to Skype tomorrow as well. I'm free all evening."

"Yes, of course!"

"Bye, Dan,"

"Bye, Phil"

Your partner has disconnected.

I felt really happy, for the first time in ages. I shut my laptop which was starting to burn my lap, and put it towards my side.

I was already looking forward to tomorrow evening.
