Chapter 7: More than Friends?

Katherine plopped herself on her bed. "It feels good to be home." She said. Erik was lying on the floor. "I think my headache is gone." he said, but then clutched his stomach in pain. "Erik, it's getting late. We should get some sleep." Katherine insisted. "And how would we do that? You only have one bed." He said getting up. Katherine sat up." That is a problem. Too bad we don't have a basement. Why don't you stay in my second bedroom?" she asked standing up as well. "Why do you have two bedrooms?" Erik asked. "She shrugged. "I never really thought about that." She said. "Follow me, I can show you where it is."

Erik followed Katherine outside her room. "First there's the bathroom." She said pointing to a door in a corner. "Then there's your room." she said opening a door showing a much more teenager-y side of Katherine. The walls were painted green and they were covered with posters of celebrities. Most of them consisting Gerard Butler. "He looks like me…except without the deformity." Erik said examining the rest of the pictures. There were also a few movie posters of The Phantom of the Opera. "You really are a fan aren't you?" Erik asked smiling. "Actually I'm a phan." she said putting the emphasis on the 'ph'. Erik wiped his cheek, "Can you please keep your germs to yourself?" he asked. Katherine's cheeks reddened, "Sorry." She mumbled. I can't believe I just spit on him, she thought. "Ha ha, I fooled you." Erik laughed. Katherine's mouth opened. "Know this…I'm a girl who gets revenge. "She said smiling her evil smile. "And you won't get away with it that easily." Erik looked at the corner of the room. On the top of the bed was a teddy bear with a silk black mask covering the upper half of its face and a black cape. "What's this?" he asked walking over to the bed and grabbed the bear.

Don't hurt PhantomTeddy!" Katherine said. "It was a gift last Christmas." She said. "Who gave it to you?" Erik asked. "My best friend, my other best friend, Sean." She said. "Is he one of my many loyal phans?" Katherine shook her head, "Not really. He says that you have scented candles of DOOM." Erik stared at her. "But he's a really sweet guy. He usually acts a lot like you. He usually secluded from people, but me and Alyssa." She said. "Sounds charming. And do you like this Sean?" asked Erik. "Well, yeah. We've been best friends since sixth grade." She said. "But I meant more than a friend." He added. Katherine paused. She couldn't like Sean…she loved Alex. Right? "It really is getting late. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight, Erik." She said and walked out of the room.

Uh,oh. Looks like Katherine is getting herself into a love-triangle of her own. But whose place is she in?
