Disclaimer: Don't own The Phantom of the Opera. I wish I did though. Who doesn't?
I am soooo excited! I'm going shopping tomorrow! To get a dress! For Raoul! AHHHHH!! I am nearly skipping down the corridor. This wasn't such a great idea since I skipped right into Carlotta. Well, kinda hard not to do. I mean she is the size of the corridor. Fat cow. I know I shouldn't talk like that…oh well.
Carlotta and I have a history together. Not a pleasant history mind you, but I do have one. It started like this. I bumped into her. Yeah I do that to a lot of people. Then she yelled in her thick accent (I don't know what kind of an accent it is…nor do I care,) "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME YOU LITTLE…"
Now I don't take that going down. I ended up in one of the biggest catfights ever known to man. Meg had to literally drag me away from her. And now, whenever we see each other, we break out in fights, pranks, and all that good stuff. I get asked this question a lot of times. Why is she the Prima Donna? Her voice isn't even all that great. I know she sucks and trust me, I'll be the first to admit it! The problem is she has the most experience. Plus her range is incredible. I wish it wasn't true, but unfortunately it is. And no matter what you do, (Believe me I tried everything), you can't fire her.
So after that "small" encounter, I made my way to my office and inwardly groaned as I though of the amount of paperwork I had to do. I pushed open the door to my office and was surprised to see Erik there. Though I should really get used to him popping up at unexpected places by now. He was sitting at my desk looking over my things. He glanced up at me,
"Next play is Faust?" I rolled my eyes at him.
"Unfortunately, I think it will be. I like the opera and all, it's just we have done it sooooooo many times before. I am trying to convince them to do La Traviata."
He nodded at me, got up, and stuffed an envelope into my hands. When I looked at him with a confused expression on my face he said, "For the managers. Please give it to them as soon as possible."
I groaned at him and stamped my foot in annoyance. He obviously thought this with childish since he raised an eyebrow at me. I hastily explained myself,
"Do you know how much work I need to get done? Now I have to trace the managers, which means walking through the whole building asking everyone where they are! Why can't Madame Giry do it? It's usually her job!"
After I was done ranting, he quietly explained to me, "She is actually training some of the new dancers, which came in this year. Meaning she is unavailable at the moment."
"Of course she is," I sighed. I looked down at the envelope in my hand and mentally smirked at how this will cause devastation to the managers. I sat down at my desk and looked up at him with a mischievous grin on my face.
"What does this one say?" I ask eagerly. He merely walked towards the door and said,
"That, my dear is none of your business."
That wiped my grin off of my face. It would have been okay if he said that sarcastically or in a friendly tone, but that was just cold. His hand was about to turn the handle of the door when I called out to him.
"Wait, don't go. I haven't seen you much lately, I miss talking to you." I said in all honesty. With everything happening with Raoul, I forgot about Erik for a while. I know it's hard to forget about someone like Erik, but I managed it. He hesitated for a moment then turned to me.
"I have been quite busy lately. I found I have been doing some tutoring of my own…"
The air became so thick with tension after this that it could have been cut with a knife. I tore my eyes away from his and looked down at my desk. "Oh."
Some more silence then he gave a little cough, turned back to the door, and said quietly, "I shall talk to you soon." Then he left. I let my head fall on the desk, my eyes closed. What was with him lately? My eyes shot open with a realization…
I forgot about him when I was busy with Raoul…Does that mean, with Christine, he has forgotten about me?
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews. I know I'm a loser for not updating in a while. I know its horrible. But school…well..sucks. This chapter was not as funny as the other ones, but I hope it makes up for it with the appearance from Erik. It's also very short. Sorry! It's getting interesting, no? (Well I hope so anyway!) Please review.
