I don't own Phil or Keely but I do own the story and anything unfamiliar.
When Keely woke up the next morning, she thought of the man that had followed her to the dorm. It couldn't have been real. It was just a side effect of the acid, right?
………………………………...

Phil woke up shocked at what he had seen. He followed Keely home last night and she was definitely on drugs. The tunnel was where she always went to hang out with her new druggie friends. Phil is pretty sure that Keely had seen or heard him. He never was very sneaky without any future help, and left all of his future gadgets at his house so he wouldn't have to worry about his roommates finding them.
At least Keely didn't know it was Phil who followed her.

Keely went to her first class, which was math, and wondered why school started so early. It isn't like they had to be anywhere else; after all they lived at school. But school hours were still from 7:15 in the morning until 1:45 at night.
When Keely could finally talk to Phil she did and told him about the stalker.
"I wouldn't worry too much about it, Keely. It was probably just a security guard making sure you got back to the dorm okay without having to tell the dean." Phil reassured her.
Keely felt a little bit calmer, but was still unconvinced.

It was finally 1:45, and there was no practice today, so she was free. Keely tried calling Phil's cell phone but he didn't answer.
"Hey, Phil, it's me, Keely. I just wanted to know if you wanted to hang out and maybe catch a movie or something, so call me when you get this. I am on my way to my dorm now and I will be there in a few minutes." Keely said into her silver Razr. It was the same phone that Phil had.

Phil was alone in Keely's dorm. She didn't know he was there, and neither did anyone else. He was just trying to find her stash so he could keep it away from her.
He had gone through a few drawers and already searched under her bed. The room was a lot messier than it had been before he got there, but he didn't care about the mess. He only cared about Keely. Just then his cell phone beeped, which meant he had a voicemail. It was on vibrate and that was probably why he didn't hear it ring.
He listened to the voicemail that Keely left and his eyes widened in shock when he heard that she was on her way here. He had to hurry and leave.
He heard keys scraping the lock. No time. He had to hide. He threw open her closet door and closed it just in time, because a second later, Keely walked in.

When Keely walked into her dorm, she noticed was that her room was a lot messier than it had been when she left that morning, and Alysa and Lauren had both been to their classes and then to field hockey practice so they hadn't had a chance to go home. A closer inspection revealed that it was all of her items that were messed up. Her bed was also unmade, and she made it that morning. Someone had definitely been in here, looking through her stuff. Someone in a hurry.
Phil leaned against the closet door and felt something soft beneath his feet. He picked it up and realized it was her weed. He put it in his pocket and was trying to think of a way to get out of there when Keely's eyes darted to the closet door and she fled the room with a look of fear on her face.
She must have heard me lean against the door, Phil thought. But he didn't let the moment go to waste. Keely was out of the room and this was his chance to escape so he did.
Keely came back in the room with Tammy, her dorm adviser. Tammy was two years older than Keely and carried a baseball bat.
"Hey! Put your hands in the air and show yourself! I know Tae Kwan Doe!" Tammy shouted. To prove her point, she put one leg in the air and held her arms in front of her, Kung Fu style.
Keely would have laughed but she was too preoccupied being scared. Keely and Tammy cautiously inched there way to the closet and Tammy kicked it open. Something fell and they both screamed and jumped back. When they looked again, they noticed it was just a blanket that had fallen off of a shelf.
"It looks like whoever was in here is gone now," said Tammy, stating the obvious. "But there was definitely someone in here. If you would feel safer sleeping somewhere else tonight, call me. You can bunk with me or I'll find you another room."
Keely nodded and they both walked out. Keely went to Phil's dorm and told him all about it.
They started to kiss, as they always do when together for any period of time, and they were interrupted in mid lip lock by Eric coming in the room.
"What's up guys? Party tonight in the Pinson dorm! Whoo!" he told them and handed them flyers.
Keely's eyes flecked with interest and Phil realized why.
"Maybe we shouldn't go." he said.
"I'm going." she replied.
They discussed it for a few more minutes and then Phil realized it was pointless to argue with Keely.
"You go, but I am staying here." he said.
"What's the matter? Wittle baby Phil is afraid to stay out past his bedtime?" Eric taunted. Phil really wanted to punch him.
Instead, Phil and Keely walked out, hand in hand.
"I love you," Phil said.
"I love you, too, Philly-Willy," she replied. He just decided to let that 'Philly-Willy' slide.

Keely was working the room that night in the Pinson dorm. It was just like a typical party that you would see in a movie, and they were almost never like that. There was a band and a disco ball and crazy lighting.
Keely got a drink and started talking to people who she had classes with, and by midnight she had a few new friends. She was going to get another drink, and there was a redheaded boy who she had never seen before standing at the table that they were using as the bar. He wasn't talking to anybody; he was just standing there. He handed Keely a drink and she took it and started drinking from it. About a half hour later she felt dizzy and Steve asked her where she got the drink.
"From that kid," she said and pointed to him.
His eyes widened in shock and he picked her up and took her to the secret tunnel, and sometime around then, she passed out.

When Keely woke up the next morning, she couldn't remember anything from the party. All she was thinking about was how she was glad it was Saturday and how her neck felt stiff. She opened her eyes and saw Steve's body lying under her.
She jumped up but exhaled in relief realizing she was fully clothed, and so was he.
"Who am I kidding? Is there anyone better than Steve? He wouldn't do anything like that." Keely told herself. She left him a note saying she was leaving and walked back to her dorm. Keely noticed that Alysa wasn't in there and Lauren was awake, sitting on the black Ralph Lauren sofa that Lauren's parents paid for.
"Where is Alysa?" Keely asked. "Not that I miss her or anything."
Lauren chuckled. "She's with some guy. He's in our grade, I think his name is Rodney or something."
Keely nodded. They started talking about the party and walked over to the mall and shopped.
