I do not own anything

Day 2

Christine's alarm clock went off, puller her out of sleep. She throws a pillow at it to stop its ringing sounds. But the sun shined upon her face so she couldn't sleep anymore.

"Stupid roof." She cursed. Then she remembered about the vacation with her friends. " oh my god, I will be late…"

She jumped up and grabbed whatever she needed to get ready in five minutes.

When she walked out of her home, she looked over her neighbor's door, wonder what he was doing at that moment and if he did get enough sleep last night or not, and then scolded herself, she did not have to time worry about her rude neighbor. Since it was late, Christine decided to call a taxi in the hope she would get there on time.

Christine arrived right on time, a long line of people who waited to buy a ticket for their trip. She saw Raoul waved at her in one of the carriages and ran toward him.

" what the hell are you doing? It is late." He said, pulled her up in with him.

" I am sorry, I overslept."

"figure. Come, we have to hurry."

She got in the carriage that her friends were sitting.

" so, how many percent that we would be checking tickets?" Christine asked as she sat down next to Elizabeth.

" fifty-fifty. It is pretty crowded if you ask me." Meg said.

" nope, we will get through it… we will know when the train arrives," Peter concluded.

Christine leans on her seat, it would take two hours for the train to arrive in the place that they wanted to come to. She slept during the trip.

When they got to the Brighton train station, the inspector waited for them to give him their tickets, Christine stopped right in front of him and pretended to check her pocket to find her ticket.

All the others did as she did.

Then Raoul gave them some tickets, he turned to smile at the inspector.

" I have their tickets." Then he put his hand over Christine's waist and pulled her along.

Christine looked into her pocket and pulled out two shillings and gave it to Raoul, but he refused.

" It is just some tickets, I bought them for everyone, it is a very nice day, which I do not want to be destroyed."

They walked down Queen street and then to West street that leadss to the street along the beach. A lot of people gather there. There were already two lines of people waited to buy tickets.

" here." Raoul gave us the tickets to get in the Canavan.

" you don't have to buy everything for me, Raoul," Christine whispered in his ears.

" it is fine, it makes me happy." Raoul smiled and walked toward the gate.

" hey, Christ. When will you two stop pretending?" Meg snugged her arm.

" pretending what?" Christine was confused.

" that you two are dating, it is nothing to be ashamed of, you know. Raoul is a decent guy."

" I am not ashamed of anything, because we are not dating, Meg," Christine said. She loved Raoul, as a friend, she couldn't see herself and him dating or getting married. And Christine Daae did not strike for some one-time thing, so when Raoul told her that they should try to get together, she just told him her real feeling. They have talked a lot and decided that they would stay friends. But that didn't stop Raoul from trying to win her heart every time he could. " I already told him I could not see we be anything more than a friend."

" why not?"

" I just… don't know, I mean we have been friends since we were children… and then he left… and came back and we were friends again. But I couldn't… imagine myself with him in the future… in my mind, I couldn't see him as a man, but a boy who chased after my shaft."

" well, if you are not interested in getting to know him, at least tell him so that he could move on."

" I did." Christine said. " he did talk to me about how he wanted us to be more than just best buddy, but I told him I could not see him more than a boy who chased after my scarf, but seem like he does not want to give up on us yet."

" I see." Meg sighed. " I like Raoul, but look like I do not have a chance."

" don't worry, he will have to give up once he seesleads that I do not interested in him."

" come on, you two ladies are taking too long." Roy laughed. " we don't have all day, you know."

" alright, we are coming. We just have nice chat between two girls." Christine punched Roy's arm.

oOo

they had a lot of fun, the festival was a good idea. After they went to the mirror house, they decided to have lunch and take a rest. That was until Christine saw a fortunate shop.

" good day, young lady." The old woman said politely to her.

" hello." She smiled.

" are you interested in learning some truth?"

"truth?" she was surprised. "what truth?"

"about your past." The old lady laughed. " and about your future, of courseAlrightat do you mean?"

"well, I say you are not from here, of course."

" huh?"

" I mean you are not from England."

" what do you mean? I am from England, I have been living here since I was born and my parent is both England."

" you don't look like one. And about your future…." She spaced out for two or three seconds. "interesting."

"what?"

" do you know, child, that the most important man in your life has just walked right behind you?"

"What?!" she turned back, but she only saw her friends, who were waving at her. " you mean them? They are my friend. Roy is married, Peter and…"

" no, no, not them, he is not here anymore." The old lady smiled. " he is your most important man, but he is not in your life, he is in your other life, and if you want to have him, you will have to go on a very long journey, and in this journey, you will meet sever new people that will lead you to him, your seventh man, the most important one."

"…" Christine was quiet for a while, before she stand up, putting three coins on the table. " you know what, it is a waste of time, thank you."

" Now, now, dear, you don't have to pay me if you don't believe in me." The old lady pushed the money back. " oh, and please tell the one with the gray coat, be careful with where he is going or he will meet an accident."

" It is your money, I am sorry, but I find it is hard to believe…" she said, no accepting the money, and walked back to her friend.

" what took you so long?" Peter laughed.

" nothing." She said. " let's go home, it is getting late."

" Yeah, sure. I never knew you were into those Fortune tellers."

" I don't, but it is amusing sometimes."

oOo

Even when they left right away, they were late. So they had to run. When they reached the corner, suddenly, Christine saw a car, which was running toward Peter at full speed. She was lucky enough to pull him away right before the car run onto him.

" oh my god." Peter's face was pale. " I could have been killed. Thank you, Christ."

" How did you do that?"

" it… it is luck, I guess…" Christine was paler than Peter. She thought about what the old lady told her.
