The next day…
After locking the door behind Em I go up the stairs to our shared study/office/nerdy geek room and get back to university work.
"Ugh why did I pick law, why didn't I just go to art school?" I think out loud.
I don't know how long I've been here but I'm awoken from my trance at the sound of a knock on the door so I yell. "Coming hold your horses!" stretch my arms, give a loud yawn and get up.
I start talking to myself on the way down the stairs "Who could it be? Not Emily, Jess, she has a key but I don't know who else it could be other than-" I stop (coincidently) near one of our wall mirrors. "Oh gods what if it's Phil."
I look into the mirror, at my hair in a messy and loose librarian bun on top of my head, the pencil behind my ear, my black nerd glasses and my 'winter is coming' jumper but instead freaking out I say "f*** it" and go into the lounge towards the door.
I open the door and sure enough AmazingPhil is standing there "Hi" I say cheerily.
"Hey" he says in the same tone back "Dan left and I have nothing to do so I thought I might come over, maybe get to know you better."
SQUUEEEEE!
"Sure come in." I say gesturing for him to sit on the couch which he does and I shut the door.
"So are you knew to London or just the building" Phil says when I sit down next to him
"The whole of England actually… well that's sort of a lie I've been here many times before I was born in Northern Ireland after all and most of my mum's family live in whales"
"Oh ok that's interesting… I like your jumper"
"Oh thanks, I don't watch Game of Thrones but I have read the books."
"Hey do you want to play quick fire questions to get know each other better?"
"Oh ok but no to sound creepy I know a lot about you. Thanks to the internet." I add.
"Ok so one sided then?"
"Sure why not."
Calm down Jessica you're gonna be ok just be yourself that's worked so far I think when my breathing grows quicker.
"What's your favourite colour?"
"Oh baby blue or a galaxy or maybe rainbow."
"What's your full name?"
"Jessica Rosemary Spencer."
"Some of your favourite movies?"
"Pitch perfect, pitch perfect 2 (AN: let's just ignore that it wasn't out yet), frozen, guardians of the galaxy, avengers, Rise of the guardians and- and…" God should I tell him?
"And…"
I look down at my hands fidgeting on my lap "The Tinker Bell movies and Barbie movies."
"Seriously!?"
I look at him "I don't know… they just entertain me and I watch Barbie movies when I'm sad or scared it's just so sugary sweet."
He laughs "I understand, next question. Do you have any tattoos?"
"Yeah"
"Really? What off?"
Do I really want to tell him? I think it's personal… what if he asks questions? You know what he'll find out anyway it's not in a very concealed place, I roll up my sleeve and show him my scared wrist with the word, continue tattooed on it.
"Oh… but why the semi colon in place of the I?" He asks surprised.
Oh Wyrd he is asking questions…. I don't want to lie to him but I also don't want to tell him…
"Well I wanted something to remind me always to continue so I put on my right wrist... The story in that when I was younger I was riding my bike on patch of rode next to my house. There was this creek type thing that had a metal road block sign but, unfortunately, it had been cut somehow and with all of my luck I ran into it. My wrist got cut and was bleeding but I continued to ride my bike home not giving up till I got there even thought I was crying and my arm was covered in blood." I settle on a half-truth.
It's not enough though as Phil says. "Wow… I must have been a really raggedy piece of metal for all of those scares?"
I look down, I like Phil I really do I've watched him on YouTube since I was 15, but… I really had just only met him and I don't feel like spilling my life's story to someone I had only just met.
"You know what don't worry." He says and I lift my head. "Next question, what's your favourite T.V series?"
"Buffy." I say instantly not even thinking about it.
"What really?" Phil sounds happily surprised.
"Of course." I suddenly remember the roses I submitted to YAIY (Didn't get in though, Jack, not like I'm bitter at all.) "Vampires are pale, Werewolves are fluffy Bollck's to Twilight I still love Buffy…. And I have the box set."
Phil's jaw drops.
"I couldn't find it on Netflix so I searched the world to find a box set. Also you should shut that, you might swallow a fly."
Phil doesn't say anything but just smiles, he doesn't even need to. I go to the T.V and put on Buffy the vampire slayer, sit on the couch with Phil and watch. Phil looks up at the clock, he laughs so I pause the T.V.
"What's so funny?" I ask.
"Two things: Why is the clock a Cat with a teddy bear sitting on top and two, I've been enjoying myself so much I haven't even realised that I've been here for about 90 minutes."
I was dying inside all ready but him saying he had been enjoying himself, just. Sitting here. With me. HE LIKES MY COMPANY! , Makes me explode…. Twice! But don't get me wrong I don't just like him because he's internet famous oh no, I've liked this person since 2007 YouTube was just a baby, I like him for him this is a reaction from sitting next to your crush.
"Ok so answers, one I have a cat onesie and Emily has a bear one they're like our animals, not necessarily our favourites though. Two Me too but I'm sure Em and Dan will be back and I have a video to do. I've done three days without a video and they all need to be finished editing"
"Gotch ya." He says standing up and walking to the door. "Goodbye Jessica my Irish-Australian friend."
I wait 2 minutes before I let out I girly scream and walk to my room because it's about time I make a video.
I look around my galaxy of a room, at the solar system hanging of the ceiling, at the walls with the galaxy effect, at the black hole door that was supposed to lead into a walk in wardrobe that I changed into an art room, at my bed that feels like I'm pulling off a layer of space every time I go to bed, my black desk with my computer, laptop, iPad and a bunch of books on it to the very out of place sixties looking radio. I set my tripod (it was a present from my cousin Elise who I'm very close to.) in front of my bed focusing my camera on the middle star of the southern cross on my blind, which is normally shut, I walk over and open the side window in front of my desk. I turn on the camera and sit down waiting a few seconds (easier for me to edit in my intro thing) before I start talking.
"Hello children, immature adults, teenagers that think they're toddlers, I like chocolate, and look, I'm not dead you can stop flooding twitter now. To make up for my absence I'll post this video and three other videos by midnight as well as getting back to my video schedule… but you're probably screaming at me to get on with it because of the video title so her-"
I stop mid-sentence, looking up into the air and moving my head like a bug just flew into the room. "Oh look a butterfly… but I'm getting distracted what was I saying… Oh yes, my opinion on cheese, well I quite like cheese though only certain types. Brie cheese is my favourite… Ok I'll stop." I put my hands in front of me where the title will be. "This is the story of how I met AmazingPhil and Danisnotonfire."
AN: Leaf: FIXED IT YAY!
