Chapter 10 – Internet

There I was, another boring day at school, paying attention to the same teachers talking about things I don't really care about, seeing the same people that don't give a damn about me, and trying to look confident enough so I don't get mocked by bullies and don't attract to much unwanted attention towards me.

I keep making Youtube videos that seem to gain more and more popularity each day, and that makes me feel happy, to see that actually people around the world waste their time listening to what I have to say. My last video "How to Befriend Your Internet Starts" got a lot of comments and it's by far the video with more views. Maybe because it has Phil in it, but still, I feel pretty good about it.

I was probably smiling because my friend, sitting next to me, turned her head in my direction and started giggling.

"You look happy" She said. "What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing special, really…" I replied. "Just can't wait to arrive home."

"Yeah, I know… I wish classes would be more interesting." And then she gave me a sympathizing smile.

"You two back there, could you be quite? You are distracting the rest of the class." Shouted the teacher, across the classroom.

We both looked down, embarrassed, saying sorry at the same time.

Half an hour later, the class of over and I were finally heading home. On the way, I stopped at a local grocery store to buy some sweets and then continued my journey.

As I arrived home, said hello to my mum and went to my room. I wanted to talk to Phil but yesterday he said he had some things to do in the afternoon, so I guess I have to wait until he gets home.

I turned on my computer and logged in into Youtube to see if there were any new videos. To my surprise, Phil had just uploaded a new one half an hour ago, called "Life without the internet!?" I went downstairs to grab some snacks and then I was ready to watch it.

I swear I tried to pay attention to what he was saying but it was being a really difficult task to accomplish. All I could focus was the little things, like his hair and how it felt good in between my fingers when he were kissing; his eyes that in the video seemed dark but in real life they are just the most beautiful blue I had ever seen; his lips moving and how incredible they tasted against mine; the amazing capacity that he has of rarely blinking and how I found that weird in the first times we talked; and many other things that kept me distracted from the words he was saying. Phil was one of the most attractive people I met so far, and the video quality doesn't make him justice.

Maybe I should leave a comment, I thought, and then I quickly typed in the comment section

"You look so good o.o

… but without the internet D:

v3" (sorry the symbol doesn't work correctly here)

and clicked send.

I only noticed the "less than three" heart after sending the comment; let's hope that Phil doesn't get to freak out by it.

A few minutes after that, I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said to the person on the other side. Apparently it was my little brother. "What is it?" I asked.

"Just wondering if you would like to play Guitar Hero with me."

"You know I'm always up for some Guitar Hero kid."

He smiled and entered my room, picking two guitars from my personal collection. I have to say, when it comes to Guitar Hero guitars, there is no such thing as too many.

After dinner, I decided to do some homework, since I had nothing better to do. I was amazed with myself really. Dan Howell doing homework instead of procrastinating. It must be a first.

Was I almost finished with them, when I received a Skype call from Phil.

"Hey Phil" I saluted him.

"Hey Dan! How was your day?" He asked.

"The same as all the others… And yours?"

"Yeah, mine was kinda boring too. My mum wanted me to help her with some new furniture for the house, that's why I wasn't online until now. You have no idea how my back hurts from all the carrying around."

"Ohh… Poor Philip." I said mocking him.

"Oh shut up, it's not funny… You know what would be really handy right now?"

"What?"

"A massage" He said sticking his tongue out.

"Go ask to your mother or something."

"I was expecting someone else to offer to do it"

"Ahhh… your cousin?"

"Ewww… Don't be weird Dan. I was talking about you."

"Ooohh me… Right." I said has I didn't guess the answer before. "Well, unless you want to travel from Manchester to my house right now, I don't see that happening."

"Shame…" He said, looking somehow disappointed.

"Indeed" I said between my teeth, not sure if he heard.

After a couple hours talking we decided to say our goodbyes and go to bed. And Phil was the last thing on my mind right before I fell asleep.
