Disclaimer: I do not own The Phantom of the Opera or any of the characters in it. Gaston Leroux does.
AN- I hope you enjoy this chapter. I want to get straight down to writing. Thank you to all of my reviewers. I also don't own the song, "Top of the World". I think some guy with the last name Carpenter does, but all I am saying is that I don't own it.
Forever and For Always
Chapter 7- Rules and Regulations
The day went pretty smoothly. Christine spent most of her time with Erik, updating him on everything that had been going on in her life ever since he left. Erik had explained that how his life had been in Florida.
Christine was enjoying her time with Erik. It was probably the best time she had had since she was in the third grade. Occasionally, Christine would catch his stare. She would get lost in his hazel eyes. Erik would catch her though and she would turn crimson and change the topic.
The end of the day came fast. Erik and Christine headed over to room 124, the music room. The teacher, Mrs. Teresa, was going to audition each and every student in the classroom. There had to be at least one hundred students. Erik and Christine sat down in seats parallel to each other. The teacher finally spoke.
"Welcome…my name is Mrs. Teresa, and I shall be your Concert Choir teacher. I am sure that many of you know, that in order to enter Concert Choir, you must sing a song, of my choice. Only twenty students will make it to the Choir. I only want the best of the best. On the occasion which you do make it to Concert Choir…you will be situated into four groups. Boys will be separated into two different groups. Baritone, which is for boys with a deeper voice, and tenor, which is for boys with more of a falsetto…these are the groups that boys will be put into. Girls on the other hand will be separated into two groups also, soprano and alto. Girls, if you are a soprano, then you have a very high voice… which is capable of hitting an f or higher. If you are an alto, then you have a low voice. It is not low enough to be a tenor, but is not high enough to be a soprano. The song that you all will be singing is a simple one. It is a duet, so I will be asking a boy and a girl to come up and sing it together. If you don't know the words, I have music sheets. I will choose who sings together, so don't be complaining if you don't like who you are partnered with."
Everyone laughed…especially Christine and Erik. Never had they heard a person talk for such a long time. Christine had timed it…A whole five minutes! Obviously, Mrs. Teresa didn't find this so funny.
"Ok…I'll play it your way. Mr. Destler and Mrs. Daáe, you come up first.
Christine was still laughing but she managed to fit in a sentence.
"What song are we singing?"
"Top of the World."
Erik and Christine exchanged looks. They didn't know what the hell they were singing.
