Christine's POV

"Christine, hurry!", said Meg as she was sprinting through the parking lot. "Esperate!"(Wait!), I yelled. I must have been thinking too much about what my life has been like for the past couple of years that I forgot Meg and I were running late for class.

When I finally woke up from my daydream I felt eyes staring at me. I look up and I swear that I saw someone staring at me from afar. As soon as I looked at the person staring at me they ran away as if scared. I swear I saw a flash of white as they turned.

Meg and I arrived to class with about ten minutes to spare. Meg started looking around for our seats. "Christine, mira esta muy guapo!,"(Look he's really cute!) said Meg as she dragged me next to particularly good looking guy. "Hey, can we sit by you?", Meg asked. "Sure, why not... I'm Brent by the way, short for Brenton," he replied.

"Ay, Christina esta muy guapo verdad?,"(He's so cute right?) she asked. "Meg, I have Raoul!," I yelled back. "Hey, just because there's a goalie doesn't mean you can't score." I turned my face to find her winking at me. I decided to give her the best glare I have. After a while Meg and Brent were starting to hit it off.

School that day was great. When Meg and I arrived to our apartment I logged onto my facebook. Raoul had sent me a message, I was glad to find that he was also online.

Me: Hey, how was your day?

Raoul: It was okay. I went to the gym, bought some groceries, and went to work with my dad. You know...the usual.

Me: Haha, so how was it? Any good news?

Raoul: Yes actually. My dad wants me to become the owner of the company.

Me: That's great news! I am so happy for you!

Raoul: No, its not. Look Christine, I don't know how to tell you this but taking over the company means doing ALOT of work. If I have to do all of that work I won't be able to see you as much. :(

Me: Raoul, its absolutely okay. I understand. I have a lot of work to do for school as well. I'm sure we can move our schedules around so that we can see each other.

Raoul: Of course! You're right! I'm sorry about that baby.

Me: Its okay. Anyway, I have a lot of stuff to do today so I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Raoul: Okay, I love you baby.

Me: I love you too, my love.

"How's lover boy doing?," asked Meg as she walked into the living room. "He's great Meg, why do you ask?," I replied. "Just wondering... so I started talking to Brent," she said while sitting down on the couch. "Ay Margarita, y de que?,"(Oh Margarita, and about what?) I asked. "Well we're going out to eat tomorrow after class." "That's great Meg!." "Yeah, I know... so you know that lecture that's going to be held in the music hall for honors students at 9:00 am tomorrow," she asked. "Yeah." "Well, do you want to go? I heard that there'll be a great speaker coming in, plus its extra credit" "Sure, we'll just have to wake up a little bit earlier tomorrow."

Erik's POV

She saw me! Me! She looked straight into my eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes that sparkled like the ocean. She's just so beautiful.

"Erik, there you are!," yelled Nadir as he was walking into my living room. "Yes, not that I want to be anyway," I replied. "Come on Erik you need tto get out of this place once in a while." "No, I don't actually." "Oh, come on Erik, I know, why don't you come with me tomorrow, I have to give a lecture in the music hall." "No Nadir, I'd rather stay here." "Suit yourself."

"Would you like a cup of tea?," I asked. "That would be wonderful," Nadir replied. "Why don't we have a cooking contest my old friend?" "Fine, whoever can make the best crepes wins." "You have yourself a deal."

Once we were done making our crepes my phone started ringing. Oh god this was going to be hell. "Hello?" "Hello, Love how's it going?" "Eh, good, look Carlotta now is not really a good time, I have a lot of work to do." "Okay babe, I understand, I'll catch you later, Love you!" "Yeah... me too."

"Who was it?," asked Nadir. "Carlotta." "Oh, well I can leave if you." "No, stay, I've delt with her already." "Um...okay." "Well, let us continue then." I reached over and grabbed a crepe. "Mine's better," I said. "No, mine is, Erik you didn't even taste mine!" "Well that's because I already know mine's better," I said walking over to my storage closet. "Let us play chess," I said sitting down on the couch with a smile on my face.

"Well I'm afraid I must be going now, I have to finish preparing my lecture for tomorrow," said Nadir getting up from the couch. "Farewell my friend, I shall see you tomorrow after your lecture." "That you will my friend, and I am also under the impression that Ms. Daae shall be there as well." "Yes, I suppose she will be." "Oh Erik why don't you just try talking to her, it's not as hard as it seems my friend," said Nadir winking at me. "I am sure I know how to approach women my friend, I have done it before." "Yes, I suppose you have, I mean look at Carlotta and you, just the perfect couple, huh." "GOODBYE Nadir," I said with clenched teeth as I opened the door.

Christine's POV

Meg and I had just arrived at the school parking lot with 5 minutes to spare. "Well I suppose that getting here 5 minutes early gives us enough time to pick our seats," I said getting out of the car. "OH. MY. GOD. I can't wait for today, Brent is taking me to Olive Garden," said Meg excitedly. "Ya se... nada mas de eso hablas."(I know that's all you talk about) "Sabes Christina, necesitas que conocer a otros muchachos."(You know what Christine, you need to get to know other guys)

"Margarita Antonia Gonzalez! I am perfectly happy with Raoul." "Yeah sure you are, come on you haven't seen him all summer! Who knows maybe he hasn't been working all of this time... maybe he's been with someone else." "Meg! Raoul and I haven't seen each other in a week, trust me nothing much has changed."

I would never admit to Meg that my relationship with Raoul had definantly changed. If I'm having trouble admiting it to myself, then admiting it to Meg would be even harder. I need to figure out a way to help my relationship with Raoul. I'll have to ask him to meet up with me sometime this week so that we can talk.

I reached over to the other side of the couch where my cell phone sat. I knew I couldn't call him while he was at work so I decided to text him.

Me: Hey love, I was wondering if you'd like to meet up sometime this week, I want to catch up.

I sent the message and headed into the shower to get ready for tomorrow's lecture.

Erik's POV

As much as I hate to admit it, Nadir is right... I have to talk to Christine. But how? Email? Text? Should I call her? I suppose I could always leave a note at her door. Perhaps that was the best option. Yes, I have to leave her a note. But first, there is something important I need to take care of... Carlotta.

RING! RING! RING! I suppose that's her right now. "Hello?" "Erik! My love, how are you?" "I'm good, I suppose." "Happy 2 year aniversary!" "Yes that it is, that it is." "Well aren't we going to celebrate?" "Yes, sure, how does saturday night sound?" "Perfect!" "Okay, see you Saturday." "Goodbye love."

Well this is going to be hard. Well I suppose I'll have to buy her something expensive... perhaps she won't be as emotional when I tell her the news. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

A/N: I would just like to say that I am very new to this. I LOVE the POTO and this is my first shot at a fan fic and I do have to say that I need ome help. If there's any suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me. And please review! Thank's!
