Phantasy
"Really? Phantom of the Opera? The old man seriously needs to get a grip," Mary laughed.
"
First CATS and now this?" Viktoria gawked.
"You'll be able to guess who'll get Christine..." Nancy giggled.
"Hanna..." Joe laughed. The four girls turned the sound of his voice.
"Ashley, you haven't said anything yet," another male chimed in. Joshua.
"Which unusual for you," Viktoria smirked.
"Thanks guys. You are all too kind," Ashley said and walked to her locker. 'Really? Phantom?' she thought bubbling over in excitment. Ever since she was a little girl, she had dreamed of playing the lead role of Christine Daae. She sang "Think of Me" "Angel of Music" and "All I Ask of You"probably a billion times before. Now the oppurtunity to be her...Christine... was dangling right in her face. Sure she had the voice of an angel, but she wasn't trained and she lacked the confidence that matched her beautiful voice. She played piano, violin, flute, saxophone... you name it, she played it. But she couldn't sing a big solo in front of people. She was in CATS the year before and snagged the role of Cassandra, even though she was aiming for Griddlebone but chickened out at her audition. She ran out crying. Luckily she sang just enough to give her Cassie, a small singing part developed her Alto range. Ashley was a natural Mezzo Soprano and could hit all the high notes like Christine (and Carlotta) could.
As she closed her locker, getting ready to finally end her day, a handsome blonde headed guy greeted her. He smiled and kissed her softly.
"Hello sweetheart," he cooed. Ashley blushed. She kissed her boyfriend back and he chuckled. Joshua smiled.
"Hi," she smiled back.
"I'm going out for Raoul, so you better go out for Christine, babe. Auditions are in a week," he snickered. Ashley rolled her eyes.
"We'll see," she said, walking to her car. Joshua stopped her.
"Hey, I love you," he said softly.
"Love ya too, doll. Bye," she laughed and got in her car. He strode up to her window. "No goodbye kiss?" he said. Ashley shrugged.
"Eh... Why not?" she said, kissing him softly.
"Thanks. Bye," he said.
"NP. Bye," she said pulling out of the Parking lot. As she drove out, another girl was waiting for him in his truck.
"Ready, love?" he said, getting in and locking the door. The girl's hands flew to his shirt and ripped it off.
"I'll take that as a yes," he said, beggining to kiss her roughly.
As Ashley got home, she told her parents about the news. They smiled widely, remebering their child's dream to play Christine. They chattered along and she went to her room and played the overture on her iPod. She sighed as she listened to the majesty of the music filling her head. Her phone vibrated, reminding her that it was time to meet Joshua at his house. She got ready and said goodbye. But right as she went to leave, Joshua texted her, cancelling the date. Ashley sighed, genuinely sad.
"Ash, there is a Phantom festival in town tonight. Would you like to go?" her mom asked. She immeadiatly perked up.
"Lets go then!" she smiled and grabbed her coat.
Author's Note
Ello you guys! I know this is short, but I am working really hard on it. Like really hard. Hopefully the next installment will be better. My amazing friend AshAsh7 requested that I write her a story about The Phantom of the Opera since she is in love with it. She is obviously the main character in this story. And wish her luck because her school is doing Phantom and she really wants to be Christine. So keep your fingers crossed and she'll update you. I know there are ALOT of Phantom of the Opera stories here, but we (JellicleCassie and AshAsh7) thank you for reading. And rumor has it that she is writing a Phantom story too. (181 stories about this opera weren't enough:D) Ashley is a talented writer (and singer/musician might I add) so I think you should look into her stories.
With Love,
& Music,
JellicleCassie
