Soooo school hates me. Don't know why that was important. Sozzles. (Omg did I really just say Sozzles? I'm so sorry.)

The fridge was empty. Great. Then again, it's not as if the last owners had left food too.

You got changed from your old clothes into a grey jumper and jeans as well as your favourite burgandy trainers. Your hair was pulled back into a quick messy ponytail, before you decided to escape to the glory of the cereal isle at the local Waitrose.

As you went to lock the door of your new apartment, a tall male emerged from the flat in front of yours, and accidently knocked you as he stumbled through the door frame.

"Oh, I'm so so sorry!" He apologised over and over before focusing on your face properly. "You must be the new neighbour, I'm Phil!" And he stuck out his hand for you to shake.

'Oh my gosh. It's Phil Lester. Phil. Lester.' You thought. 'I moved opposite Phil. That must mean you also moved opposite...'

"Hello?" His hand was now waving in front of your shocked face.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. Hi, I'm Y/F/N." you replied, regaining your focus.

"As in the Y/YT/N from Youtube? Well, I was just off to the shops, would you like to join me Y/YT/N?" He gestured down the stairs. "Sorry, one second. My friend's supposed to be coming too." Phil turned to the open door behind him and leaned forwards. "Dan! Come on!"

You couldn't let them know you were a fangirl. So you tried to act fairly normal whilst you were out with them.

It wasn't so easy, and by the end you had sugar in your hair from accidently pouring some from a damaged bag you'd tried to reach on the top shelf.

"Let me get it for you," Phil had insisted.

"No, no, I can manage." You'd denied his help. If it had been Dan you would've accepted, but he didn't talk to you the majority of the time you were out. Why was that?

You all arrived and retreated to your own apartments, but you couldn't help but thinking 'Why was Dan so quiet?' You'd seen him at a few youtube conventions, and made eye contact. But then you'd always done something clumsy and stupid like spilled your drink down your front or tripped over face first.

Was that why? Surely not.

After a quick shower, you decided to cook yourself some dinner. Or order in pizza, more specifically.

Then, for the second time in less than 48 hours, your doorbell rang.

"Hi Phil!" You said cheerfully as you opened the door.

"Hello Y/N, can I join you for dinner?" Phil asked, rubbing his hands together nervously.

"Sure, what's up?"

"Dan's having a bit of an exsistensial crisis. Only this time it's really bad and I didn't know what to do."

"Do you need any help with him at all?"

"No, he'll be fine soon hopefully. I left a note on the kitchen counter as to where I was."

"Ok, well I ordered pizza." You both sat down on the sofa and you unpaused Aladdin, the Genie was singing and you wanted to join in, but were afraid to embarrass yourself.

Phil noticed.

"You can sing if you want," he said, trying to reassure me.

"If your ear drums explode it's not my fault." You replied sassily, but soon enough you were both singing at the top of your voices.

And then, for the third time after the pizza arrived, the doorbell rang once more.

"Dan?" Phil answered the door for you and you stood up hastily from the sofa.

I'm really enjoying writing this, and I know there's not much Dan as of yet, but the next chapter will contradict that. Dan all round!

Also, story wise this seems a bit generic, but wait 'cos I have a twist or two lined up!

The next part will be up tomorrow.
