A/n: Rejoice, Teslow Diaries fans, I'm back with Phil's side! I know, I know, it took forever for me to post this but this story is proving to be a bit harder to write than the Teslow Diaries. Keely is a lot easier for me to write, seeing as I was actually a seventeen year old girl at one point in the not to distant past, so, while I wasn't exactly like Keely when I was seventeen, I know what it's like. Phil, on the other hand, well, it's a little harder for me to get into his head. But, after much staring at the computer in frustration, I finally found my rhythm. Fear not, I enjoy a good writing challenge. Anyway, I'm should probably stop rambling and let you enjoy the story.

Confessions of a 22nd Century Man

"Lovesick Blues"

March 16

I didn't mean to fall in love. Really, it was the last thing from my mind. My life is complicated enough as it without the added hassle of all those confusing emotions and whatnot. Between my psychotic sister, the caveman living my garage and this whole being from the future thing, I have enough to handle, but add a girl into the mix and, well, its enough to drive a guy crazy. Of course, to make the whole situation even more complicated, the girl I fell for just happens to be my best friend. You know, my best friend, the only person who knows my secret, the one person I seriously can't screw things up with. Complicated doesn't even begin to describe what I've gotten myself into.

Of course, as complicated as it may seem, being in love with Keely is far from a bad thing. Keely is the most amazing girl I've ever met. I know, I know, that sounds really cliche, but it's true. She's sweet and thoughtful, not to mention beautiful but besides all that, she never ceases to amaze me. Whenever I think I have her all figured out, she goes and does something that completely catches me off guard. But that's one of the things I love most about her. I mean, I've always been a pretty mellow, down to earth kind of guy but Keely...Keely is passionate and has this incredible love of life that sometimes just blows my mind. For some crazy reason, I think, it's those traits of hers that made me fall in love with her and that make me want to be with her.

Not that any of this new or anything. I've been in love with Keely for a long time. It all started on my first day at HG Wells, when I walked into that algebra class. I remember seeing Keely and thinking, there's something special about this girl. At lunch that day I remember looking over at her and seeing her looking back at me and again thinking that there was something about her, something that made me want to get to know her. Well, as the story goes, we ended spending time together and the rest is history. The more I got to know her, the fast, it seemed, that I fell for her, until I wound up where I am today: head over heels in love with her. The way I can't help but smile back when she smiles at me, the way I find myself getting jealous or doing stupid things, the way I feel when she hugs me, there's really no doubt about it. I'm so deeply in love with Keely Teslow I couldn't find a way out even if I wanted to.

The only problem is, I can never tell if she feels the way. There are moments where I find myself thinking that she totally wants to be more than friends but then there are times where my thoughts are more along the lines of "Are you crazy Diffy? You're her best friend!" I feel like I'm stuck in some sort of crazy limbo between best friend and boyfriend. The way I see it there are only two ways out of it: A) Get over her or B) Take a chance and as her out and seeing as I most definitely won't be getting over her any time soon, it looks as if I'm stuck with the latter option.

Yeah, that's one of those things that sounds easy enough on paper but put into practice? No way. You'd think asking my best friend out would be easier than, you know, just some random girl, but actually it's quite the opposite. I mean, this Keely we're talking about here. The best friend I've ever had Keely, the one person who knows me inside and out Keely, MY Keely. If I ask her out and she never talks to me again that's it, my life is over. Of course, if I ask her out and she says yes...well, who knows what that'll lead too. I figure since we work so well as best friends, we'll work just as well, if not better as a couple but who knows? Unfortunately for me, unlike algebra, this love thing does play by the rules of logic.

That being true, I may never figure any of this out.

A/n: To answers someone's question, this story is a parallel to The Teslow Diaries so it'll have the same general story line, with tweaks and added scenes. Anyway, stay tuned for the next chapter: "That Thing You Do."
