"My mum’s boyfriend. He just… i think he feels like he has to spoil me and my mom that’s all. They’re pretty well known actors… I-" She turned the phone and showed him the picture on the front. Most people knew faces better than names."I love them but most people kind of… judge because I’m spoiled." She’d admit it, they spoiled her. but it was more than fair with her father treating her as he did.

"It must be hard," he said. "Having your whole life up for display to the rest of the world. Every fight or breakup blown out of proportion." he shuddered, thinking of all the things he'd seen on tabloids. A part of him wondered if he was reacting different than most. He wasn't judging her- she couldn't help who her parents were, and really... there was nothing to be ashamed of or worried about in the first place. So her mom and mom's boyfriend were famous. His dad owned a boat store and his mom as a librarian. It didn't make either of them less a person, in his opinion. God loved them both equally.

Besides, he knew how it was to be judged based on lifestyle rather than character.

"I get a fair amount of guff too, though not for the same reasons and I'm sure it isn't nearly as bad as yours."

"Ooh, that’s not fair! I would hate that…" She shook her head. "My Mother would have killed me! but then she would have bought me a new one. Or Jeremy would have." She blushed a bit, sliding her finger across the screen and quickly checking to make sure there were no messages. "It’s just sentimental things that I would have missed the most." She nodded, pictures, texts. Things like that.

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

Philip nodded. He kept a stash of cell phones with happy memories in them at home. They were like his own digital scrapbooks. "Who's Jeremy?" he wondered. A boyfriend? Probably, considering her blush just now.

Headcanon: Cell Phones

Philip likes to save messages that make him smile. Little (or large) uplifting things that he can return to and read whenever he wants. But unlike most, when he gets a new phone he doesn't forward those messages to himself. Instead he keeps the cell phones in a special drawer in his room. When he's feeling down he will sometimes pick one out and scroll through the saved messages, pick one out at random and read it to himself. He has two of those phones with him at college right now.

"It was about the popular literature through the ages. The book I wanted to get is on a similar subject." She nodded. "Plays specifically." She added. "oh, thank you." She smiled and quickly dialed her number, hearing the ring nearby she spun around, her phone was lying discarded, almost as if kicked aside. She snatched it up. "Thank you!"

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

"Oh good!" he said at the quick retrieval of her phone. "Last year a friend of mine lost their iPod. They left it somewhere for only about ten minutes but when they came back someone had swiped it. A month later his mother tried to text him on iCloud, and ended up contacting someone in Arkansas. Someone had hacked the iPod, cleared the data and sold it on ebay." He smiled. "I'm just glad that didn't happen to you."

"That’s the one." Sara nodded, she was a senior, so she knew the campus pretty well. That didn’t help her find her phone though. She sighed softly. "It was a pretty good lecture, I’ll say that much." She smiled. "I had just written down a book I wanted in my phone and I stuffed it in my pocket…" She muttered, recounting her actions. "Maybe I dropped it when I tried… hey- um… do you have a cell? You could call it, I think the sound is on…?" She looked up at him hopefully, desperate to find her phone because she truly wanted to get the book she’d written down.

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

Philip's eyebrows furrowed as she spoke. "What was the topic?" he inquired about her lecture as he pulled out his cell phone. He unlocked it quickly, and handed it over as she replied.

"I dropped it somewhere between here and the english lecture I just got out of…" She sighed. "I had it after leaving the lecture hall… it’s not fair." She muttered the last bit and looked about. Looking up to smile at him. "Sara, sorry, just a bit frustrated." She said nervously. He was kind of cute, and she was acting quite scatterbrained. Lovely first impression.

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

"The lecture... oh! In the H. Eccles building?" he inquired gesturing back a structure three or so buildings away. He knew the campus by heart by now, having given so many people directions in the previous weeks, as well as his whole freshman year. He studied the woman, waiting for an answer.

"Excuse me? Have you seen a cellphone around here? It’s locked but it’s got a picture of me, Linda and Jeremy Jones on the lock screen?" They were known actors, she just hoped the phone was around here somewhere… "It’s in a white case with gold flowers on it…" Jeremy had bought her mother a set of them, one gold and white and one white and gold, her mother had given Sara the white one so they could match.

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

Philip frowned. "I'm sorry- no. But I can help you find it! Do you remember where you last saw it? I'm sorry that I can't be more of a help." Philip didn't remember ever meeting this girl, but he still wanted to help, if he could. "I'm Philip." he added belatedly.

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

Are you lost?

[nia--uheri-blog]

Yeah, it is a big campus. I’m in my sophomore year and I still can’t find some buildings.

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

"Last year my roommate got lost all the time, so I memorized the campus. He still calls me sometimes when he gets lost." Philip grinned. "I'm a sophomore too! Now, where are you headed?"

[tobelievewithoutseeing-blog]

Are you lost?

I understand, it's a big campus.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

My bible. And my journal. Both of them together, I think.

Phillip Fleet || 21 || Grade, Studying Religious Studies  || TAKEN

Character: Phillip Swift | Pirates of the Carribean

Defining Traits:

The good: Determined, Idealistic, Courteous.

The bad: Conservative, Quiet, Impulsive. 

Background:

Phillip grew up in the Northeast, on the coast. His father owned a little sailing club, and his mother was a librarian. He had two sisters, one older than him, and one younger. They went to school, did their work, and whatever else they had to do. Phillip learned to sail with his dad, who taught him everything he knew, from maintenance to sailing in any kind of weather. He did his best to please his father, as well as his mother, who taught him how to read, and how to love the stories he was told. He grew up to be both athletic, and intelligent.

When he was thirteen, something that changed his life forever happened. He was walking home from school alone, when a storm suddenly started. He thought he’d make it home, but it got very bad before he managed to. Phillip claimed that he could hardly see a thing, until, suddenly, a glowing man pushed him out of the way, right before a branch fell onto where he had been, crushing the man. Phillip panicked, screaming loud enough to draw attention of people in nearby houses. And when they searched for the man, he was no where to be found. Phillip was convinced he had been visited by an angel from then on.

He began attending Church after that, his parents, who were not very religious, agreeing to drive him and supporting his wish to be a good Christian. He was proud of his religion, loving everyone and trying to live in the service of God after that. When he applied to college, he decided to study his religion, wanting to see it from an unbiased point of view, not caring for fanatics despite his strong beliefs. Caelus accepted the well balanced boy with an ordinary life and an average G.P.A.„ more for his belief in God and himself than any other quality he possessed, understanding that if he was determined, he would succeed beyond their expectations.
