I planned this story since a long time and I loved the plot of phantom of the opera. I hope this story will get a lot of reviews like I did back in my old stories lol.

18 year old Gabriella was softly playing the violin while everyone was sitting in they're chairs, watching Gabriella Montez playing the violin. The grace and passion from the music came from the violin is literally all over the classroom. The teacher was analysing Gabriella's music skills. However, one boy was bored and that was Gabriella's boyfriend Rodrick.

"Jesus" said Rodrick to Chad Danforth "I'm so damn bored"

"Dude" said Chad "If you love Gabriella, then you got to love her music skills"

"But it's so boring. Why does Gabriella have to do these stuff?"

"She loves playing the violin" said Taylor McKessie "Will you just keep quiet?"

As Gabriella plays the violin, she felt someone spying at her. However, she proceeded playing the violin. After a few minutes, she finished playing it. A large applause clapped all the way. She never felt so proud in her whole life even though she was only in the classroom.

The bell rang and everyone left the classroom. Gabriella left the classroom with her friends and Rodrick as she was holding the violin.

"Gabby! You did amazing!" said Taylor "I loved it!"

"Aw...Thanks!" said Gabriella

"Come on!" said Rodrick "Gabby! I told you violin isn't good for you! I hated the way you played it!"

"But Rodrick! I love playing the violin!" said Gabriella

"I know you're my girlfriend but I don't approve you doing these stuffs"

"You know Rod, you should be happy for Gabriella!" said Chad

"Whatever!" said Rodrick as he put his arms around Gabriella "Come on babe, let's go eat lunch now"

(At lunch, in the cafeteria)

"Yes, we're opening a talent contest for the next 2 months! You're coming?" said Kelsi Nielson

"I would love to!" said Gabriella as she was smiling "I'm going to sign up for the contest!"

"Gabby" said Rodrick "Why do you have to join this shit fest? You'll just waste your time!"

"But Rodrick" said Gabriella "I love playing the violin...Please let me join"

"Fine! But I'm telling you, I don't like the way you play the violin"

Gabriella felt something on her heart when Rodrick said that. Rodrick didn't like Gabriella playing the violin because he thought it was so bad. However, Gabriella can't judge Rodrick since she kinda admitted she's not that talented.

"Cool!" said Gabriella "I'm joining Kelsi!"

"Great!" said Kelsi "Just sign here"

Just then, a large scream was entered in the cafeteria.

"Ah!" shouted a voice "Out of the way! Chad Danforth coming through!"

Gabriella, Rodrick and Kelsi looked back and saw Chad running to them.

"Chad?" said Gabriella as she raised her eyebrow "What are you doing here?"

Chad sat down next to Kelsi and took a deep breathe.

"The phantom is back!" said Chad "I saw him!"

"What?" said Kelsi "No way!"

"What's going on?" asked Rodrick "Who the fuck is the phantom?"

"Yes, who is he and what's going on?" asked Gabriella as she sat closer to Rodrick

"You never heard of the phantom?" asked Chad

Gabriella and Rodrick looked at each other in a confused look.

"No..." said Gabriella

"The phantom has said to be lurking around East High for 2 years...It was said he always wears a dark black cape and a large white mask to hide his identity." said Kelsi in a worried tone

"It was also said he would steal people's money and used them for his food, water, and his costumes. People said he's a talented person when it comes to music, literature and arts. He was said to be lurking around East High especially at night. I saw him while ago with the other jocks in the stairs. He was running as fast as he could. I got scared cause it was said when someone do bad things to him, he'll seek revenge in return" said Chad in a scared tone

"But wait" said Rodrick "Why the hell is he lurking around East High? And why does he have a mask?"

"I don't know why he's here in East High" said Chad "But some say he's wearing a mask cause people said he was ugly. We all thought he was gone for 2 months but he came back today. He always scared the shit out of the cheerleaders. He has been here for 2 years already, lurking around East High and stealing stuffs. That's why people should be careful already"

"There was a time I was playing the piano all alone inside the auditorium" said Kelsi "Just then, a voice shouted 'Who dares to enter the property of the phantom at 7 in the night!' I got scared and took my things and ran out of the auditorium. I knew it was the phantom. A lot of people already encountered seeing him and also hearing his singing voice..."

"Jesus" said Rodrick "I'm not scared with some ghost..."

"He's not a ghost" said Kelsi "He's a human but he looks like a phantom"

"Yeah like I'm scared. He better not go near to me or else I'll punch him right in the damn face!"

"Rodrick! Stop it!" said Gabriella "Let's just forget this phantom thing. Kels, I signed up already!"

"Cool!" said Kelsi "If you want to practice, you can use the auditorium since a lot of people are using the music room"

"Yay, when can I start practising?"

"How about after school? I can also help you!"

"Thanks Kelsi"

"Whatever Gabs!" said Rodrick "I don't like the way you play the violin...Anyways, I got to go now. I'm going to practice some hoops"

Rodrick gives a quick peck on Gabriella's lips and left the cafeteria. Gabriella sighed thinking why Rodrick doesn't like her playing the violin.

"Gabby" said Kelsi "Why the hell would you stick with him? He's nothing but a jerk!"

"But I love him! Besides, I think he's sweet!"

Little did they know, up in the vent of the cafeteria, someone is spying on the gang. He was spying on them especially Gabriella Montez.
