Rami & Friends

Hero (Katherine)

I try my best to focus on Legally Blonde... only Legally Blonde.. there is nothing but Legally Blonde.

"Love, I'm doing this for love, and love will see me through"

I can't even focus on singing "What You Want". I have to apologize to Rami, and confess to him that I've been obsessing over him, and that my love for him is everlasting.

Should I call him? Should I not call him? I can't decide..

But, just then, my phone rings. He's calling me! Rami's calling me!

I answer it with lighting speed.

"I knew you would call," I say flirtatiously. "Look, Rami, there's no denying our chemistry, and-"

"Shut up, or your next!" He screams. That is not Rami. I know this because his voice is a lot.. breathy-er?

"Who is this? Is this Sebastian?" I ask curiously. "Always good to talk to one of my fellow Phantoms!"

"I have taken Rami hostage in our dorm room," Sebastian scoffs from the other end of the phone. "If you truly are in love with him, you'll come save him... Won't you?"

"Why you little-" Sebastian interrupts me..

"Do you want him or not?!"

I think of the chemistry, replaying that moment in his car the other day. The kiss I forced upon him, the way I stroked his skin, the way he kicked me out of the car. I will get him, no matter what...

"I'll die trying," I say out loud.

"Great," he laughs. "Now, don't tell anyone about our encounter, or you're next."

"Okay," I mumble as I shake with fear. He hangs up.

I lied, I am going to tell someone. I'm going to tell Kate. She deserves to save him, not me.

I decide I'll go tell her band kids, and we'll all march up to her house on the edge of campus, and tell her the news, and how we would fight together to overpower Sebastian.

As I grab my car keys and head out the door, the lyrics to "What You Want" play again and again in my head.

"Love, I'm doing this for love, and love will see me through."
