Chap.1

Christine is a seventeen year old girl in her last year at her high school; she loves music and always has for as long as she can remember. She's been in every play that her schools put on, starring it most of them she was even planning on becoming a drama teacher when she finished college. Christine lives with her father, her mother left them soon after she was born. Then when Christine was older, they found out that her mother had grown ill, very ill and had been taken to the hospital. Her father had told her what happened, and why her mother was not there, and she was mad, so she didn't want to see her. Her father although, also explained to her that she loved them very much but felt was too young to raise a child. Christine willingly agreed to visit her mother in the hospital, but by the time they got there, she had already passed on. So now Christine only lived with her father.

Christine had many friends, being in the drama club for so many years but only one best friend. Meg was her best friend since elementary, they had met when her father and Meg's mother met at a party. Apparently they were both friends with the woman who was hosting the party. Christine's father and Meg's mother talked and they both mentioned that they had a daughter. They were both the same age too, So Meg's mother brought Meg over and they were shy to each other at first but then they got to know each other and became best friends. And they were friends ever since. But also the woman who was hosting that party, her name was Alice; she also had a son, the same age as Christine and Meg. Raoul was just a few months older than the two girls, and much taller. So when they girls saw him, they thought he was a few years older when in reality he was the same age. The girls, who at the time were just starting to like boys, thought he was cute. They giggled about him during sleepovers, and hang outs. Whenever Raoul was near though, they were shy. Meg, soon enough, grew brave enough to talk to him. The girls were now in 6th grade, the first year of Junior High. As Raoul grew older though, he became more popular and was not interested in being friends with outsider girls such as them.

At this time in high school, Raoul was still popular with the crowd; he had girls all over him. But Raoul was only interested in one girl. And that was Christine. He had always had a crush on her, and when he told Meg that he didn't want to be their friends it was for the popularity. He wished so much to be near Christine.

"Christine!" Christine stopped walking and turned around to see Meg running down the hallway. "Hey. Wait up." Meg caught up and smiled. "Where are you going?" she asked as they continued to walk down the hallway.

"Oh music class." Christine replied. "I thought you knew that by now."

"Like I pay attention to your schedule, well anyway, I was just wondering because I got my schedule switched. My mother convinced me to take music, what do you do in there anyway?"

Christine shrugged, "Well. We mostly study music, but sometimes when Mr. Barone – Dedicated to my Music teacher Mr. Barone- is in a good mood he makes it fun and we sing and just have a good time."

"Do they dance?" Meg asked curiously.

Christine laughed, "Well sometimes Mr. Barone does."

Meg laughed also.

Just then Raoul and his group passed them and Meg caught Raoul eyes go onto Christine briefly. Her mouth dropped slightly.

"You know he hasn't changed a bit." Christine said smiling.

"Christine. I think he likes you."

Christine turned her head and raised her eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"

"You didn't see the way he looked at you?" she asked placing her hands on her hips.

Christine shook her head. "Well, why would he, and plus Raoul if he liked me he would come up and say so."

Meg thought for a moment then nodded in agreement. "Yes, I guess you are right."

Then they both headed off toward the music room again, they were a few doors away from the music room when the bell rang. Christine and Meg ran toward the room and entered and Mr. Barone raised his head. He folded his hands on his desk.

"You're late."

"Yes, sorry Mr. Barone."

Mr. Barone stood up and looked to the class. "A senior being late, great role model Christine. That's showing the younger kids." The class was mostly made up of freshman and sophomores. Christine was one of the only seniors other than one of the boys, Luke, who also liked music a lot. Christine took her seat and Meg looked around cluelessly.

"Here take my seat." One boy with spiked brown hair whispered to Meg. He got up and let Meg sit down and he sat down in the beaten old desk in the back row. Meg looked to Christine who was a row and a seat behind her and whispered. "So is Mr. Barone in a good mood?"

Christine smiled and nodded yes.

"Well class. We've got a surprise guest for you today, please welcome Mr. Destler!" The door opened and a man with black hair slicked back and a mask on the right side of his face, walked in. He looked no older than 20. He and Mr. Barone shook hands and then he waved at the class. "Mr. Destler graduated from this school only a couple of years ago." Barone explained. "He's very talented in the music department right Mr. Destler." Mr. Destler nodded. "Alright then, take a seat back there. And watch how we Role things." Mr. Barone then rolled his hands back and forth, making some of the freshman laugh. Mr. Destler walked to the back of the class room, and sat behind Christine. Christine turned around and smiled at the new comer holding out her hand. "Hello, I'm Christine."

He took her hand and shook it looking into her eyes. "Nice to meet you." His voice was melodic and soothing. She took her hand away and turned around back in her seat, sinking into seat and smiling like a younger girl who just touched or talked to the boy she had a crush on. The class continued and soon the bell rang.

"Well that went fast. Too fast. Alright no homework tonight! Enjoy your day!"

The students ran out of the classroom and Meg and Christine were the last to leave.

When they were a good distance from the music room, Meg whispered to Christine. "That Mr. Destler was some babe, eh? And that mask made him so mysterious."

Christine nodded but wasn't really paying attention, she was wondering about something. She could have sworn that during that whole class period she felt like someone was watching her. From behind too.
