hey you guys!
sorry this chappie took so long to update. im such a procrastinater, i couldnt go on the internet unless i finished my book reports for school, and i ended up finishing my reports the night before school started, so i couldnt work on this at all. yes, its all my fault, i blame myself...soooooorrrrrrrryyyyyyyy! anyways, onto other things, ive been watching the newer episodes of phil of the future, and its starting to get a little harder for me to stay as relevant to the series as possible because now phil and keely are starting to come together with the dance episode and everything. so ill continue using scenes or parts from the episodes in my story, but i might not use the newer episodes because it might mess up my plot. im not sure yet...if i can find a way to put the dance and other new episodes into my story i will! also, on a final note, thank you so much for sending so many reviews after only two chapters! i feel so encouraged...i love you guys!
Disclaimer: If I owned Phil of the Future, I'd be making new scripts and episodes, not putting it up on a fanfic site. waaaahhhh...
If Only You Knew
Chapter Three: Frustrations and Future Tutors
Keely groaned as she dragged herself to her locker, blinking sleepily as she stifled yet another yawn. After fiddling with her combination lock for about half a minute, she finally opened her locker and clumsily foraged through the miscellaneous junk for her Geometry book. After that nightmare last night, Keely hadn't been able to fall asleep and therefore had nothing else to do but lose herself in her own thoughts. They had mostly been centered around the dream and what had happened, and the rest of her thoughts had pretty much just swirled around the subject of "Phil."
'God, I never thought I could spend so much time thinking about just one guy!' Keely thought as she tossed a sandal aside, still searching her locker for the book. 'Especially Phil! Since when have I ever been obsessed? Well...there was that time Tanner---'
She scoffed in disgust, remembering the dream again, and rummaged through her stuff with a little more force.
'Ugh, but he's such a jerk! I can't believe he did that, it was so unfair, I was so close to kissing Phil---'
Realizing what she had just thought, Keely blushed crimson as she pushed some papers out of her locker.
'Aah! There I go again, thinking about Phil! And why did I just think that, it was a DREAM! Ohmigosh, I need to sleep, I can't think straight---WHERE IS MY STUPID GEOMETRY BOOK!'
She sighed in exasperation, slamming her locker shut and leaning her back against it. 'This wouldn't be so hard for me if I hadn't had that dream with---'
"Phil!" Keely stood up straight, or at least she tried to, as her best friend walked up to her, holding her jacket.
"Hey Keel! I got your---whoa. What's up with you?" Phil asked as Keely slumped back against her locker, yawning again. "You look almost as bad as the last time we used the Giggle!"
She laughed shortly, rubbing her eye. "Well, it could've been worse." 'But thank God for makeup,' she thought to herself, remembering her reaction when she saw the black rings under her eyes while getting ready that morning. She grinned sleepily, and before she knew it her eyes were closing and she was slowly sliding towards the ground.
"Keely!" Phil reacted in an instant, grabbing her arm and holding her steady. "Keel, what the heck is wrong with you!"
He shook her arm lightly and her eyes fluttered open, looking dazed as she stared at him. Then, glancing down at her arm, she blushed lightly and pulled away from his warm touch, looking away. "Sorry," she said quickly. "Just tired. I slept for like, four hours last night." 'And please don't ask why,' she added silently, closing her eyes and biting her lower lip.
Phil gazed at Keely, confused. Why was she acting all weird again? "Oh," he said, pushing the thought away for the moment. "Well, I hope you can stay awake long enough to take our Geometry test today. You didn't forget, did you?" He opened his locker and easily found his Geometry book, being so organized and all---
Then jumped ten feet out of his skin as Keely let out a shrill shriek.
"WHAT! Ohmigod, I did forget! I need to study, I only have ten minutes left until class starts, but I can't find my book, I checked my entire locker...Ohmigod, ohmigod..." Keely spun around and tore open her locker again, tossing up a storm and on the verge of hyperventilating.
Phil arched his eyebrows in amusement, watching his best friend freak, and a grin spread across his face.
'Well, at least she's back to her normal ditzy self.'
"Uh, Keel...then maybe you should check your bag."
Keely froze, halfway through chucking an eraser out of her locker, and turned to look at Phil. She glanced down and slowly picked up her schoolbag, which had unnoticeably slipped off her shoulder during all the commotion, and zipped it open. A look of both embarassment and relief crossed her face as she pulled out her book, and she quickly closed her bag and slung it back onto her shoulder. Then, without thinking, Keely rushed up to her best friend and hugged him with a whispered, "Thanks!"
Caught completely off-guard, a surprised Phil reached up his arms and awkwardly hugged her back, melting in his own happiness. Unfortunately it didn't last long, because a second later Keely caught a whiff of his "perfume" and abruptly pulled away, a suspicious shade of light pink but confused nonetheless. "Phil, if you wanted to smell nice you really could have asked me...but lavenders so totally don't match you," she told him, eyeing him with a weird expression.
"Hey---no, it's not---" Before he could even reply, though, Keely had already closed her locker and was walking to class with her Geometry book opened in her hands. "Sorry, Phil, gotta jet!" she said cheerfully, looking back at him. "Studying, remember?" With that, she quickened her pace and walked through the classroom door, leaving Phil alone to clean up her mess and wonder what the heck was going on.
-----------------------------------------
"Via, you have GOT to help me, I think I'm going nuts!" Keely said in frustration as she placed her books neatly in her now-clean and organized locker at the end of school. The day had gone by horribly. Keely had been so tired during first period that she had fallen asleep during the Geometry test and ultimately failed it. The teacher (forgot her name, sorry) told her that she had to make it up for half credit tomorrow or else she would fail the class, then assigned Phil to be her tutor so she could study and understand the questions a little better. She already had a hard time dealing with him for one day, but now this? Luckily he hadn't really noticed how flushed she was that morning after she had hugged him; she had bolted before he could even mention anything. But something would definitely go wrong if she was with him at his house after school, and there wouldn't be any chance of hiding this time.
"Honestly, Keely, what is wrong with you today?" Via replied in her strong English accent, leaning against her locker as she watched Keely slam her locker door shut. "First of all, since when is it so hard to study with Phil, he's the best there is! And you're acting different around him too, you've been avoiding him all day!" She straightened up and turned to open her own locker, still looking at her best friend's gloomy face.
Keely sighed and turned to Via, realizing that she hadn't told her anything that had happened the night before. "Look, Via...I just...it's just harder for me now. I think---"
"Hello, ladies!" Owen suddenly popped in between them, and Via rolled her eyes. "Can the O-dawg interest you two in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Only half-eaten by the man himself!" he pulled out a ziploc bag holding a smashed brown square-shaped blob and dangled it in front of the girls' faces. Keely gently pushed it away with a look of disgust on her face as Via shook her head vigorously. "O-kay, but you're really missing out!" Owen said, grinning widely. "I'll be waiting if you change your minds!"
He started to leave, then looked over his shoulder at Keely. "Oh, yeah, and Diffy's waiting for you outside," he called to her. "Better get to him before he becomes an ice dude!" He then took a bite out of his sandwich and walked away, laughing.
Via groaned and turned back to look at Keely, who was silently watching Owen walk out of sight, and waved her hand in front of her friend's face. "So what were you saying again?" she asked when she finally got Keely's full attention.
Keely turned pink and flipped her blonde hair out of her face, knowing that she'd have to tell Via sooner or later. "I-I...um...I think..." she stammered, then lowered her voice to almost a whisper.
"I think I'm...I think I'm in love with Phil."
Via stared at her in silence with a blank expression, then suddenly burst out laughing. Keely's eyes widened. "What's so funny?" she cried, turning a shade darker as she watched her friend lean her head against her locker, still in fits. "Are you serious?" Via said incredulously, once she had settled down again. "You mean you just figured that out now, even after that whole ordeal during the Girl's Choice Dance and everything?"
"W-well, I wasn't really thinking about it, I was too worried about Phil going back to the---" Keely caught herself just in time and quickly changed her meaning, "...to Kansas!"
Via tucked her hair behind her ear, looking into the mirror on her locker door. "But even before that! You could tell you were into him, Keely, even I knew that when I first came here!" She put on lipgloss then turned to look at Keely again, smiling helplessly at her expression.
Keely put her head in her hands and sighed. "So what am I supposed to do now, then? I can't just face him after all this, especially since I'm pretty much aware of what I'm getting myself into!" She glanced up at Via, who seemed lost in thought for the moment. Finally she spoke.
"Is Phil still your friend?"
Keely stared at her as if she were dumb. "Um, yeah..."
"Does he know anything about this?"
"No," Keely answered again, still not getting Via's point.
Via grinned. "Then what's the problem? Act like yourself. As long as Phil doesn't know anything, you'll have nothing to worry about. An as for the love situation---" she paused as Keely cringed, "...just wait it out, see what happens. You never know...Phil just might feel the same!" She looked around, noticing for the first time that the halls were empty, and gasped. "Keely, you have to go! You're boyfriend's still waiting for you outside!" She closed her locker and pulled her friend along with her to the doors where Phil was waiting, giggling when Keely shot her a glare from that last comment. "I was joking!" she replied, smirking at Keely's moody expression.
---------------------------------------------
Phil was standing outside, leaning against the school wall, when suddenly the doors burst open and Via came out, pushing a flustered Keely ahead of her as she went. "Hey Phil," Via said brightly before he could say anything. "Look, I'm sorry, I'd walk with you two, but Owen's been bothering me about his sandwich all day, and I want to get home before he shows up again. Have fun studying with Keely!" She flashed a dazzling smile and rushed away, ignoring Keely's soft complaints.
Phil watched her go, then slowly turned to Keely, who wiped the dismay off her face and smiled nervously. "Soooooo..." she started, looking down the street. "We're going to your house, right?"
Phil grinned. "Yup. So d'you have your book this time, or do you need to check your locker just in case?"
Keely realized what he meant after a few seconds and shoved him playfully, eyes sparkling. When she wasn't thinking about him, she realized, hanging out with Phil was just as normal as before. Via was right. They headed down the steps together, laughing and talking like any other friends would do.
