Chapter 6
Erik's First Day At School

That day Erik sat down at a desk as one by one the teacher called thier name as the children said here if they were there. After the teacher took role she asked if any of the children knew how to spell thier name.

"Ok children do any of you know how to write your name?" Said Mrs. Angel

Erik's little gloved hand shot up like a rocket as the other children stared in amazement that someone that young knew how to spell his name. "I know how to read write and spell Mrs. Angel. My mother has been teaching me since I was old enough to talk." said Erik

"Come on up and prove it Erik" said Mrs. Angel knowing somehow he could.

"Yes mam" said Erik standing up and walking to the chalk board grabbing a piece of chalk and writing his name as if he were grown up and it looked so neat and so perfected Mrs. Angel clapped her hands.

"Very good Erik. Now then can you spell Super?" Said Mrs. Angel.

"Yes I can" Said Erik as he did. And Mrs. Angel kept saying simple words and Erik kept writing them not messing them up at all. "Mrs. Angel can you give me a harder word like tough for a child of 10? Even though I'm only 6." Said Erik again

"Ok Erik...spell...Configuration" Said Mrs. Angel as she watched Erik spell it. "Erik your mother is an excellent teacher. Who is your mother.?"

"My mother's Name is Sara Hackenburg. The famous Broadway singer from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera." Said Erik proudly.

"I know that name, I think I..." Mrs. Angel pulled out a book from when she was in high school. "I knew it...she always told me that she'd be a big star... so Hack you made it." Mrs. Angel looked at Erik. "Tell your mother Zeke said hi. She'll know who I am. So your hacks son. Wow..."

"No I'm her adopted son. She's taken care of me since I was a baby, and Paul Stanley is my adoptive father. He's on tour right now, but he'll be back for me. And then we'll go and do some more father and son stuff. He doesn't care what I want to be but I want to be a singer and return to Paris. You see Paris is my real home." said Erik.

"Wow so Sara is still in love with Paul even though he's like 5 times her age. Well Sara always said she didn't care about his looks or his age. Wow she did everything she set out to do." said Mrs. Angel

The children were all amazed that they had a kid whose mom was a celebrity. But they all wondered why he hide behind his mask until one little girl asked "Excuse me Erik...um....Why do you wear a mask?"

Erik looked at the girl and didn't know what to say. "I uh....I wear it in memory of my hero and so no one can see me....not yet."

The small girl got up and walked up to him and looked at his eye's and found herself with a small crush and was willing to do anything to be near him. She had a case of puppy love. Erik also looked into her eyes seeing nothing but the eye's that his mother and father had, and that Sara and Paul have. He handed her a note that had his phone number on it as she tucked it into her pocket, and sat down.

"Erik you may take your seat now." said Mrs. Angel

Erik sat down and waited for the day to be over so he could go home.

(Later that day while Erik waited on Sara to pick him up. As he saw the small girl again.) Erik noticed that the girl looked sad and walked alone. He ran up to her and asked "What's wrong? You look so sad..."

The girl looked at him and said "My daddy's gonna hurt me again. He hurts me every day. He hits me and then makes me tell mommy that I fell or I tripped. And I have to go home again and face daddy." The small girl almost cried.

"Well um...if you want tell them that your staying at a new friends house. And you can come over and stay the night with my mom and me." said Erik smiling softly at her.

"I'd like that, but will your mom let me?..." Asked the little girl.

"She'll let you... She wants me to have friends my own age, if you want to you can be my friend, cause I don't have any friends yet. I never really got a chance to meet anybody." said Erik "What's your name anyway?"

"My name is Star, I want to be your friend. I don't have many friends." She said this looking down.

"Then you just say your spending the night at a friends house and You can stay in our guest room. My mom doesn't care how long we stay up. So we can play all day long." said Erik smiling hearing his mother's car horn. "Come on Star that's my mom. She'll be pleased to know that I have a friend after all this time." said Erik leading star to the car.

"Erik who's your friend?" Said Sara smiling. "She's very pretty."

"Mom this is Star" Erik looked at his mother and she knew instantly what the girl had told him. "Can she spend the night mom?"

"Sure, we need a little laughter in the house. I'll talk to your mother tonight and let her know your with us." said Sara smiling. "Hop in you two we got some stuff to go do, like going skating."

"Really? you two skate?" Star said looking amazed that such big people go to little stuff like that.

Sara nodded and she asked "Erik how was your day at school."

Erik told her about the whole day, as they drove to the skating rink and stayed there til about 9:00 p.m. and then went home.
