Author: PG-13

Notes: This probably dioesnt sound like a phantom of the opera fanfiction but it really is going to be! the phantom of the opera inst mine but you already know that right duh haha.

Kris, whos real name was Christine but she didn't tell anyone that, slammed her locker shut and mumbled under her breath. Where was he? He was late again. She thought maybe he was already out int he parking lot. She grabbed her messenger bag and ran toward the junior parking lot.

Just as she made it in the parking lot, she saw his black GrandAm pull out of the lot. Was that another figure in the car with him? Her violet eyes seemed to burn crimson for a moment and she shouted "Oh Shit!". Other students looked at her and didn't hide the fact that they were laughing at her outburst.

Well, at least the sun was out, she thought. i and /i she did have her IPod, maybe she would just walk home and cool down on the way. When she got home maybe she wo uld think about calling Rich and seeing if something was wrong.

More and more she was thinking that something was wrong. Her and Rich had been friends since childhood. "Childhood Sweethearts" people would call them even. Forever they were just erally close friends, and then last year when they were both in tenth grade Rich asked her to the costumed dance on halloween and they decided to go out. That was a year ago. Lately though he had been acting real cold and distant. She had asked him if he needed to talk but he said no and she let it go. However lately she noticed him talking about and hanging out with Megz, a friend from their group at school. Adn that was who she thought she saw in the passenger seat as he pulled out...

Stop being paranoid Kris! she thought.

tossing her long black hair streaked with pink, she made her way home. She was so glad she had her IPod with her.

If you want me to wait
I would wait for you
If you tell me to stay
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Was it bad that was how she really felt? Sometimes it felt like Good Charlotte was singing about what was inher mind.

Lost in her thoughts Kris didnt realize until a rain drop hit her face. Looking around, she realized the sky had turned dark and her hair was whipping around.

Great, she thought, what else could go wrong today? She still had about a 15 minute walk before she woul be home and it didnt seem like the wearther was holding up. Any minute she was going to be soaking wet. Thunder rattled in the distance.

Unless...

NOrmally she wound dare think of cutting behind from the other street to her backyard. Shed have to cross the yard of the neighbor's behind her. It was kind of strange. It wasnt like the neighbors were awful or mean people. They were happily married and had two children who were a few years younger than Kris. However the house itself seemed to have an eerie feel. Whenever she walked by it , it felt like someone was watching her. Even when she knew the neighbors werent home. Sometimes she could swear she saw a shadow and a faint flicker of light in the attic... Rich blamed it on her overactive imagaination, but that didnt stop her from getting the willies.

Their car was gone, however strangely enough there was another car in the driveway. It was older and slightly worn looking. Actually, it even had stickerso n the back bumper, band stickers that Kris really liked. The kids were too young and obviously the parents wouldnt have a car like that...

She walked closer to the car...

CRASH!

She let out a shriek and bolted to the backyard to get to her house. without hesitating she hopped the fence.

It wasnt till she was inside her own home that she realized it:

it hadnt started raining hard yet and the thunder was still far away.
