My Knight In Shining Armor With A Mask (Phantom Of The Opera Fanfic)

Rehearsals

Maria's POV

It was surely a pretty weird yet nice week for me after Victor left. I see Jeremy  everyday and everywhere usually its nothing to me but now its creeping me out.

Even in the library or even at the music room because I was the new voice tutor now he keeps looking at the window door when I'm tutoring with students but on the bright side I got to meet new students. Their names were Theodore, Simon, Isabella, Cheska, Christian and some I forgot.

The best was Christian he was always polite to me, he's always giving me snacks when we have a break his voice is really powerful and he can high and low notes easily.

I shook these thoughts away and stare at the beautiful Paris. The busy people, cafes filled with delicious cupcakes and coffee, the bakeries filled with long and fresh baguettes and cakes, art galleries filled with beautiful and captivating artwork and - the best of all - Eiffel Tower its high and monumental structure attracts billions of tourists especially me.

Once we reached the Opera Garnier Richard told me he'll come with me to introduce his friend who owns the Opera Garnier and I nodded. We came in the front door and there waiting was the producer in her hands was a clipboard and on her ear was a pencil "Ah...Miss Day I'm glad to see you and...Oh! Mr. De Chagny what are you doing here? We thought we only see you every performance" After she say that I gave a confused look to Richard.

" Oh! I forgot to tell you that I'm actually a patron here and I get to see every performance here in a private box. Isn't that right Charlotte?" My eyes widened Wow! Mom did really picked a good one...I thought. "Yes Monsieur..Now...Ms.Day we need to get you to your dressing room and the rehearsals will start in 30 mins. And Mr. De Chagny I insist that you come to rehearsal to see your..."

"Soon - to - be stepdaughter" Richard say which made me a bit shocked.

"Congratulations! You know Ms.Day you are very lucky. Mr. De Chagny is very friendly he helps a lot in the Opera Garnier. Now let's go to your dressing room I hope it will be comfortable for you" After she said that we followed her and we were in front of my dressing room door in front hanging was a gold plate plastered in black letters my name 'MS. MARIA DAY' I was surely excited to enter.

I opened the door and what I saw was surely amazing - my dressing room 3 times the size of my bedroom, three  sofas, a large vanity in a corner, a small bathroom, a large and long white closet and 3 large windows displaying what's going on outside of the Opera Garnier and a nice view of the Eiffel Tower.

I gasped it was really comfortable and very large. "Okay...I see you like your dressing room and...Now onto the stage and the cast will be here in a few minutes" I nodded and closed the door. She began to led us to the stage and I realized Richard was very quiet his face full of...fear.

I was about to ask why is he like this when a boy bumped me which made me fell flat on my butt. Richard and Charlotte helped me get on my feet."I'm terribly sorry! Miss I wasn't watching my w-" He stopped when I faced him.

It was actually...Christian! "Christian! What are you doing here !?" I asked him "The same thing to you !?" He asked me back I was about to ask him again when Charlotte interrupted us by an uncomfortable little cough.

We faced her and she say " I see Ms. Day that you already met our Raoul for this production and Mr. Clate with our Christine Daae" After she said that we faced each other surprised. "Well...Uhm...I hope this will be fun working with you Maria" Christian say awkwardly and in response I nodded. He ran off and left us standing there at the backstage.

"I see you have already met our Raoul. Are you friends?" "Yes Madam...I'm actually his voice tutor in our school" Charlotte and Richard's eyes widened and I just smiled. "You taught him?" I nodded "I'm impressed because Christian has a very good voice. He's perfect for the role of Raoul. Who knew we have a spectacular Christine and a very good voice tutor" I blushed when she said that.
