Christine had a sense of urgency as she ran to Mr Reyes office to hopefully find him. They were supposed to start rehearsal without him, as he had a meeting with a student, but it seemed Miss Fischer didn't have keys to unlock the auditorium. So, Christine was grabbing the keys from Mr Reyes while everyone else stood and waited outside the entrance of the auditorium's backstage.
She knocked on his office door, despite the fact the student was still in there. When she saw them both give her an annoyed frown, she tried not to shrink in on herself. She just needed the keys and they could get back to their meeting. If Miss Fischer had gotten them originally, they wouldn't be having this problem.
As Mr Reyes opened the door, his voice was peeved to say the least, "Miss Canigula, I am in the middle of a meeting. Unless someone is dying, I really cannot help you right now."
Christine pressed, "But Mr Reyes, we need to start rehearsal and you're the only one with keys to unlock the auditorium. I just need to bring them to Miss Fischer-"
"No!" Mr Reyes cut her off, "I'm not allowed to give you the keys, I could get in serious trouble, you're not a member of staff."
Christine was honestly a bit fed up, "Fine. Then come open the door so we can start rehearsal."
Mr Reyes had to pause, clearly shocked by the demand, "Miss Canigula, must I remind you I am in the middle of a meeting?"
"All the more reason to come now so we can all get on with what we need to do. Come with me, hurry!" Christine gestured for them to go.
Finally, the student in the office piped up, "It's fine, I can wait, just go unlock the door."
Mr Reyes looked between them and slightly rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright, fine."
