Chapter 11 - Plans

Surprisingly I was on my way to a friend's birthday party. I am not invited that often to this type of things, so I try to always attend whenever I'm invited. My mum agreed to drive me there and pick me up when it ends, which is a relief, because I always tend to drink I little bit more than I should at parties.

When I arrived I looked around the house to see who else had been invited. I didn't know that many people, maybe three or four so far. I searched for the birthday boy in the middle of the crowd until I finally found him.

"Happy Birthday Tim!" I said joyfully, handing my present to him.

"Oh! Thanks Dan, I'm glad you could make it." He said at the same time he gave me a hug. We didn't have the chance to continue the conversation because out of nowhere some girls appeared giving him hugs and shouting, stealing his attention to them.

After that I joined a group of people from school and had a little chat with them while we enjoyed our drinks. More people continued to arrive at the party and I see my friend Sara is one of them. I waved at her and she joined us.

"Hi Sara, didn't know you were coming to." I said, welcoming her.

"Hey Dan! Well, I didn't have anything better to do, and staying at home alone on a Friday is kinda depressing anyway."

"I know the feeling" I smiled to her "So what have you been up to?"

"Not much, I've been really busy with presentations and homework this week, but it's finally over. Now I can relax for a while." She said in relief.

"That's always the best part, the feeling of freedom after a busy week."

"So hey, I meant to ask you, did you watched any of Phil's videos, like you said you would?"

"Actually, I did." I said smiling. She has no idea; maybe she hasn't seen the new videos yet.

"Did you like them?" She asked, now waiting anxiously for an answer.

"I did, I think Phil is a really funny guy." I said smiling.

"I know!" she said too enthusiastic, probably having a fangirl moment. "And I'm so sad, because due to all the work I haven't been able to see the latest ones."

"Oh really?" That's the reason then. " I think you will have a surprise", I said now putting a cocky smile.

"What do you mean? What have I missed?!"

I started laughing. I never imagined that Sara was such a big fan of Phil.

"You will see when you watch them."

"Ohhh… That's not fair."

The party continued and I kept talking with different people. For some reason alcohol makes me become more confident in myself so I stop having problems to talk to people I don't know.

Around one I was getting tired so I decided it would be a good time to call my mum to come pick me up. I called her and she said she would be here in ten minutes.

As I entered the car, I could see she had a sleepy face meaning she was sleeping when I called.

"Hey mum. Sorry for waking you up." I said looking at her.

"It's okay. " She said smiling "How was the party?"

"It was nice, lots of people there thought."

When I arrived to my room, I took my clothes off and went to bed.

The bad thing about going to this kind of events is that I can't talk with Phil. I have to wait for tomorrow for that, but for now I think I will have some sleep, I can barely keep my eyes open.


Luckily, I didn't wake up with a headache; either way I didn't drink too much last night, so I guess that's why.

I got up, put some clothes on and went downstairs to eat something; my stomach was starting to make hungry noises. I grabbed a toast with jam and went to my room again.

Meeting my daily routine, I turned on my computer and looked through my favourite websites. I logged in on Skype to see if Phil was on. Fortunately he always is. I finished eating my food and then pressed call. He answered a few seconds after.

"Hey Dan!"

"Hey Phil!"

"How was your night?" He asked.

"It was good. I have a funny thing to tell you."

"Okay, what is it?"

"I discovered last night that one of my friends is a huge fan of you. She is the one who could me to watch your videos actually." I said smiling. It's thanks to hear that I am now Phil's friend (or special friend, or whatever this is called), I couldn't be more grateful.

"That's great!" He laugh. "I may have something to tell you too." He said, now changing his tone. Oh God, please don't be bad news. "My family is going to spend a few days after Christmas in my aunt's house. So there wouldn't be anyone here after the 26th. I was thinking if you would like to come and spend some time with me from the 26th until the 30th of December?"

"Of course Phil! Those are really great news!" I said with enthusiasm. "I will just check with my parents if it's okay for me to go."

"Great!"

I went downstairs to ask my mum. She said it was okay.

I can't believe I'm going to be with Phil again!
