Chapter 2 – Amazing Phil
I've spent the last two hours watching videos of this guy named Phil. When Sara told me about him, I never expected to be this good.
It is amazing what you can discover about other person only through videos on the Internet. Apparently he lives in the UK too, more specifically in Manchester. He is four years older than me, however by the way he acts and by his looks I would never had guessed his real age. He has a strange fascination for lions and even has a little teddy lion with whom he has conversations at the end of his videos. And for some reason when he smiles he tends to stick his tongue out, which is kinda… cute. Wait. What?
Anyhow, another thing I noticed about Phil was that his musical taste and his favourite videogames are very similar to mine, which automatically made him an interesting person.
Was I lost in thoughts, when out of nowhere began to grow an urge inside of me that I can't quite explain. I felt like I needed to talk to him, I needed to be his friend, somehow that seemed the only thing that matter at the time. I hope I am not turning into an obsessed fangirl, because in my mind I was starting to sound like one.
I decided to do something to change this and searched for his Twitter, maybe he would reply if I tweet him. I have nothing to lose, so… why not? I saw that he posted one two minutes ago so that meant he was online. I thought to myself, in a very cliché and unnecessary mode, It's now or never Dan!
Just started watching AmazingPhil 's videos on Youtube! How come I've never seen them before? They are great! :]
Well, it's not the most brilliant tweet ever, but who knows. And was that smile too much, or…?
I was starting to get hungry, so I got up and went to the kitchen seeking for something to eat. I found in the fridge some pizza leftovers from two days ago and put them to heat on the microwave.
Hmm, is it just me or microwave would actually be a really good sound for an onomatopoeia? I wonder if someone has thought about this before…
The beep warning me the food was ready made me wake up from my daydream, and right after I opened the microwave door, the smell of warm pizza filled the kitchen making my mouth start watering. I grabbed a plate and went to my room to enjoy it.
With all the excitement I almost missed the notification on twitter saying that I had new interactions. I just had put a large piece of pizza in my mouth and was about to swallow, when I had the brilliant idea to see who had mentioned me. Needless to say I ended up chocking and coughing like a maniac.
danisnotonfire Thanks! I'm glad you liked them ^_^
Before I could believe what I was seeing I had to refresh the page about ten times to make sure it wasn't a mistake.
Phil actually replied to my tweet! Should I reply back or just let the conversation die there? It wasn't like I had that much to say now... After a few minutes thinking about the pros and cons I decided that I should try. Like I said before, I really didn't have anything to lose.
AmazingPhil I have been thinking for a while to start making Youtube videos too. Can you give me any advice?
Well, that was kinda risky; I don't want him to think I'm being annoying. Fortunately that did not happen, since I got a reply almost immediately.
danisnotonfire I can't give you really specific advice, only that try to be yourself and enjoy while you're doing it. Hope this helps :)
That reply turned out better than I expected. And that advice was pretty good too, I'll probably remember it if I ever gather the courage to make an actual video. Many of my friends told me before that I should give it a try, but I never thought I had what it takes to have a lot of subscribers and to be popular on Youtube. Besides, I was already bullied in school; I didn't want to give them another reason to pick on me. Maybe one day, somewhere in the future…
It was with these thoughts in mind that I noticed another interaction on Twitter. And I swear that my heart stopped for a few seconds when I saw what it was.
AmazingPhill followed you
a/n – There it is my second chapter. I'm kinda proud of this one, so if you can, please tell me what is your opinion, because I still think I have to get better at certain things! :] Thank you for reading and have a lovely day xx
