I take my phone out of my pocket and unwrap the headphones that are looped around it. As I push them into my ears, I open up a random playlist and shuffle it.

'Young Volcanoes- Fall Out Boy'

I smile as the familiar tune fills my ears and I start to quietly hum along to myself, "When Rome's in ruins, we are lions, free of the colosseums."

Just before I put my phone back into my pocket, it vibrates and I see a message notification appear at the top of the screen. I break into a smile as soon as I see who it's from.

dan: hey sorry i left so suddenly i had sports practice

I grimace slightly at the mere thought of sport, and quickly type out a reply.

Phil: Ew ~,~

dan: ?

Phil: Sport (⌒▽⌒)

dan: ohh what are you up to anyway

Phil: Nothing really, just walking to my friend's house (^^)

dan: oh well have fun *insert cute little face thing because we found out earlier that im a hopeless cause with that*

Phil: (⊙ヮ⊙) You don't have to go!

dan: no don't worry go spend time with your friends you'll regret it if you don't

Phil: ('ω) Thanks Dan!

dan: bye phil

Phil: Bye! (ω)

Once the message has sent, I put my phone back into my pocket and look up to see that I have arrived at PJ's house.

I guess time really does fly when you're having fun...

I walk up to the front door and ring the bell, immediately hearing a shrill noise from inside the house.

After a little bit of rustling, I'm greeted with PJ's face in the door frame.

"Hey Phil! Come in!" he says, opening the door a little wider, to allow me space. I step inside and he closes the door behind me.

After I've taken off my shoes, I follow PJ up the stairs to his bedroom.

"Oh, Phil!" Chris exclaims, lying on his stomach on PJ's bed.

"Hi Chris," I smile back, giving him a little wave.

"So, video games and pizza?" PJ asks, clapping his hands together.

"Fuck yeah!" Chris shouts, jumping up and grabbing a controller from the side table.

I laugh and sit down on the bed next to him, whilst PJ goes out to get the phone.

~>•<~

After we had eaten enough pizza to feed an army and we had played more games than most have played in their lifetime, we all started to get ready to sleep.

"Goodnight, guys," I whispered, wrapping myself deeper into my sleeping bag.

"Goodnight," both Chris and PJ replied, as my eyelids slowly shut.
