Phil of the Future: Going Back
Chapter One
"Come on guys, out with it. Obviously there's something between the two of you that's been going on for the longest time already!" The girl called out to the couple on the couch as she plopped down on the bed.
"Shut up, Jen." Phil called to the girl.
Kevin playfully shoved Phil closer to the girl beside him. "Man, don't even try to deny it. That's how Jen and I were at first. We know how it works." He walked to the fridge and took out a can of soda. "And if you won't say, maybe Keely will."
Keely took a deep breath. "You really want the truth guys?"
"YES!" The other twelve-or-so people in the room with them shouted together.
"Okay, then here it is. First of all, Kev, if you want to physically assault Phil, please do it when I'm not in close proximity. That hurt, you know" She looked at Kevin who apologetically raised his soda can. "And second of all, the truth is…" She paused for dramatic effect, "… that this is the lamest end-of-spring break party ever. It doesn't even deserve to be called a party!" everyone groaned and went back what they were doing. "Well, what'd you want me to say? This party sucks. Where are the drinks? And we need better music than what we've got here"
"Whatever Keel. You're just not cool enough to appreciate the chill atmosphere we've got going. You just wanna get drunk." Phil stood up and walked to the fridge.
"And is there anything wrong with wanting to get drunk before spring break ends?"
He turned his back to her and didn't answer.
"You're getting a beer, aren't you?"
"Ahhhh" He turned to face her with a smug look on his face and a can of beer in hand.
She took the can from him and took a sip. "That's what I'm talking about!"
He rolled his eyes at her. She shrugged and walked toward the girls.
"Come on Keely. Like telling us you guys are a couple would make much of a difference. You spend like, every waking moment out of class together." Trixie said as Keely sat down with the rest of the girls on the bed.
That was true. Phil and Keely were always together. They met in Pickford College's orientation seminar and have been friends ever since. They weren't close at first but eventually came to be best friends. They found it hard to always hang out with each other since they only had one class in common, but they made it work nonetheless
"We're best friends, Trix, what do you expect?"
"Oh come on. Even best friends aren't that close. I've known Phil since high school. He's never been that close with anyone. I mean, look at us. You're the only one here that's not from Pickford High. Not that that's a bad thing, though, we love you all the same"
Keely just laughed it off.
"Keely, just tell us how you and Phil became best friends or whatever it is you are anyway" Ellie said, grabbing a pillow and hugging it.
Keely thought back to the start of the school year. She and Phil spent the entire orientation seminar together but after that, they lost touch for a few weeks. But then one day, out of the blue, Phil IMed her asking for help with a girl in one of her classes. They talked online for hours. Next thing she knew, they were always on the phone, or hanging out together. Phil introduced him to his friends and they hit it off, too.
All the while, she was helping him with the girl, Kath or something like that. Keely knew the girl was just toying with him, and she always told him to just get over Kath and move on but always helped him with her anyway. Eventually, Phil got tired of the girl. One day, he just told her that he was tired of Kath- of everything, and that she pissed him off like hell. He never told her why but she didn't care. She was just glad that she got her best friend away from Kath. But everyone else told her that Phil called it quits because he was tired of Kath getting jealous of her. And that she asked him to make a choice and chose Keely. Keely just laughed it all off and told everyone that Phil's brain cells decided to work for once.
"I don't know, we just hung out and hit it off… whatever. We're just friends," Keely said.
But there was more to their friendship. Keely knows the one thing about Phil and his family that no one else knew, she knew their secret. That Phil Diffy, along with his family, was from the future. They were on vacation from the year 2121, but their time machine broke down and got stuck in 2004. After about a year or so in the twentieth century, the Diffys decided to just settle down and stay. Keely didn't believe any of that at first but after a seeing all the gadgets, she was convinced.
By midnight, everyone had already left for their dorms. Keely still lived at home. The Teslow estate was just about a five-minute drive away.
"You're leaving?" Phil walked over to Keely who was fixing her bag on the bed.
"Yeah, I left my car at home so I'm walking"
"Stay a while, I'll take you home" He walked to her and took her bag.
"Hey that's my bag!"
"Yeah well, you took my drink!"
Keely grabbed the bag from him. "You don't have to take me home. I'll be home in fifteen minutes. And besides, I like walking. I like the fresh air."
He smiled, "You'll like it better on a skyak. Come on, stay a while and I'll take you home later. It's too early"
She glared back at him, knowing she can't refuse his offer. "Fine"
They sat in the couch and watched a movie.
"I've been thinking about it, you know?" Keely said, ignoring the movie. It was too boring, anyway.
"About what?"
"The scholarship to Yale. It's a really great opportunity"
Phil remained silent
"What do you think?"
"You should go. It's a really great opportunity"
She laughed, " I know. But that means I have to leave"
He shrugged "I know"
She turned to him, confused "Do you want me to leave?"
He turned to face her, "Look Keels, I want you to go be a great news reporter. You'll have better chances of that at Yale, you know?"
She looked away, "You didn't answer my question."
"Would it make a difference if I did?"
"Depends on the answer, I guess"
"Well, what answer do you want?"
"An honest one"
He inched closer to her. "Fine. I don't want you to leave. But come on, it's the chance of a lifetime. And you can always come home for summer and spring break, right?"
"Right"
"Well, there you go"
They watched the rest of the movie in silence. After the movie, Keely started out the door.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Home. Duh?"
"I'm coming with you, remember? Skyak?"
"Phil, you really don't have to."
"And your point is?" He grabbed her bag. "Let's go"
