Christine starter dressing room
Current mood:  accomplished

Christine ran back into her dressing room still dressed in her slave costume happy relieved that the rehearsal was over. Now she could weep in peace. She had come here with dreams of singing, but realized that with the death of her father and that the opera house already had an established diva she would have to settle for the ballet corps.

 Christine had resigned to that fate, but it didn't mean that the way the current diva had treated her was right. Out of all the dancers Christine had been singled out as the one that Carlotta felt most threatened by. Carlotta seemed to know Christine’s dreams, and today when Carlotta strutted out onto the stage for her rehearsal she shoved Christine aside with such force that Christine was afraid she might sprain her ankle or fall into the orchestra pit. Luckily some of the other dancers came to her aid. With Carlotta's arrival though the ballet rehearsal was over. The managers catered to the diva’s every whim including having the stage all to herself.

 Staring at a picture of her father on her dresser Christine tried not to let the memories of his death  bring her down, but it was hard. Even with Mme Giry taking  the young girl under her wing and Meg being not just a best friend, but treating Christine like a sister it wasn’t enough. But how could she ever  hope to live her dream  when even she felt like something had died inside her.
