Phantom of KentRidge High

Chapter 1: The new Headmistress

"Beep… Beep… Beep…" the digital alarm clock rang. I lifted my heavy leaded eyelids and knocked it off my table and it landed with a soft thud in my laundry basket. I snuggled back in the comforts of my bed hoping that my dreams of dancing with the Opera Ghost never ended.

However, it wasn't my lucky day today…

It was my mobile phone turn to ring in its Phantom of the Opera ring tone, it startled me as I knew that I was going to be late in meeting up my friends at school. Luckily it was just a wake up call from one of my buddies. I rubbed my eye sleepily and stretched my body.

"So much for sweet dreams… Five… Four… Three… Two…" I said to myself with anticipation.

"Knock… Knock… Wren, are you up yet?" my mother called.

"Yup."

I went to grab my towel and uniform and went to the toilet. By the time I was done it was already seven, quickly I shoved my mobile and Phantom of the Opera book into the bag and made my way down the stairs to catch the school bus. However, my dear mother was there to stop me…

"Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

"Can't. I'll be late for school."

"You wouldn't be in a rush if you have woken a little earlier. At least have a drink and here's your lunch."

I quickly gulped a glass of juice, grabbed my lunch and went on my way. Fortunately, the bus was still there. I boarded it and went to join my friends at the back of the bus. The entire journey was a noisy one as everyone exchanged conversations of how was their vacation.

By the way, I have forgotten to give myself a proper introduction. I'm Wren your basic average seventeen year old teenage girl, shoulder length chestnut brown hair and green eyes. Have a liking for all forms of mystery, books and cats. Your typical nerd with glasses. Last but not least, I enjoy being a phantom phan. I own posters, calendar cards, Cds and soundtracks of Phantom of the Opera and little collectables I could find and afford.

All of us were expecting that today is going to be the typical school day in KentRidge High, well… for me and my friends even though it is the first day of school.

"Can you guys believe it? It's our last year here and soon we'll soon move on to College!" I said to my buddies.

"I can't believe that I could actually stand wearing this for these years." Said Priscilla pointing to her uniform, she is a girl with the exotic look consisting of a straight long black hair and grey eyes. I knew her ever since year one the both interested in the same type of horror story. We have been close friends ever since. Believe it or not the both of us are total opposite in other ways which is the miracle of our friendship. Well… I guess it's the theory of opposites attracts.

"And do you know that it actually makes us look exactly like penguins." Said Lindsey as she waddled about like a penguin. She's girl with wavy blonde hair and brown eyes. She is a weird and funny in a crazy way which made me wonder how did I stand her for the whole of last year.

"You need a top hat and cane to go with it?" laughed Sharon my phan buddy a girl with long brown wavy hair and deep blue eyes, I knew her since year two.

I looked at my uniform which consists of a white blouse, black vest and a black skirt and thought for a moment. It kind of reminded me the phantom's costume minus the skirt of course. I sighed and walked off silently to assemble at the hall for the first opening speech by our new headmistress, Ms. Payne. My friends soon joined me in the crowding hall.

"I wonder what would the new headmistress be like?" I mused to myself.

"Hopefully better I think…" Priscilla replied as she sat next to me.

Well… everyone did not have to wait long for that answer.

A stout woman stepped onto the stage, she wore a rectangular metal frame spectacle which in a way magnified her cold grey eyes, and her long dark brown hair was bounded up in a tight bun. Everyone was silent as they observed her for the moment and began whispering away. She tapped on the microphone which screeched so sharply that everyone had to stuff their ears with corks.

"Students pay attention now… as you may know I, Ms. Dominica Payne had been appointed by the Board of Education to lead KentRidge High to a brighter future…" everyone applauded mechanically either in due of respect or to avoid crossing swords with her on the first day…

"And to lead us to that better future, I would like to highlight a few things… firstly, complete silence when a speaker is on the stage. Secondly, no mobile or any other communication devices are allowed in the school premises. Lastly defiance, impoliteness and cheating would be utterly in tolerated by me." This caused everyone to plumage into a chatter of disagreements.

"It ain't fair at all Ms. Payne!" shouted Augustine Evans the captain of our school football team.

"I'm sorry it is for the safety of all the students in the school to prevent future possible thefts of valuables." Ms Payne replied sternly.

"But it's solely our responsibility to look after our own belongings and everyone knows that." He defended.

"Mr. Evans, if you wish to secure your place in the football team, I strongly suggest that you should tone down and start following instructions… before it's too late." She said coldly which made Augustine silent.

"Is everyone clear? These new regulations will take effect from tomorrow onwards." With that Ms Payne stepped down and left the hall with her nose up in the air.

"Who the hell does she think she is?" I said indignantly as I crushed my soda can and tossed it into the trash can.

"The 'so call' head mistress." Sharon said, awfully disgusted by Ms. Payne.

"She doesn't deserve our respect." Said Priscilla taking a sip from her can of coke.

"That royal Payne in the butt." Said Lindsey and took a huge bite from her sandwich.

"It's just been 2 hours ever since she delivered that speech and now there's about half a dozen students were being caught for minor offences like running down the hallway to reach another class on time. She's nuts!" said Sharon.

"She needs to learn some manners." Said Priscilla.

"But how? Scare her witless and make her beg for mercy?" asked Lindsey.

"That's it. Yes, that's what we are going to do. Thanks. For the first time you actually made sense." I said.

"With what? A Ghost? Wren you sure you're not running a fever?" asked Priscilla as she reached out to feel my forehead.

"Not exactly a ghost, Priscilla. A Phantom." My lips curled up in an evil smile as I looked at Sharon who was beginning to understand what I meant.
