Secrets of Iron

school's two sides (also known as breaks and classes...)

It was Wednesday and as Emma got up she saw a little note on her desk.

'Avengers needed. Back before Midnight ly dad'

She was upset for a moment but then got up quickly. “Fri, could you start my music?”

The next moment the penthouse was filled by the sound of her singing along the soundtrack of 'Hamilton'.

She changed into jeans and an old SI shirt she had cropped to not look like a dress.

It was pretty warm outside so she took cute sandals instead of her sneakers. She grabbed her phone and went to the elevator after breakfast.

She took her headphones too and continued to listen to her music during her way to school.

She was just on time as she entered the classroom with her books but still sat down in the back.

She was in a good mood because the theater director had announced over text this morning that they would make the cast list for the next show today without big auditions. Everyone would have the chance to say something about the roles and cast. And the best thing they would start after lunch and everyone was excused for their classes!

Yeah, it will be messy but that is better than PE. A lot better than PE.

At lunch she met up with Peter and Ned in the back and surprisingly they didn't talk about 'Ninja'.

“Man. Why the heck does he not tell us were we go?!”

“Hey guys!”

They looked but kept on ranting about the field trip and how no one knew where they'd go.

“Ehm...guys. You sure know that I'm coming too. It is my 'baby physics class' that is going.”

“Really?”

“Yep...”

They made sure that as soon as someone of them knew where they'd go they would text it in the group chat. And after that the topic changed back to the 'Ninja' and soon Emma had to leave for theater club.

It turned out that the teacher was just too lazy to do regular auditions because there were a lot of roles. Like a really lot.

They were going to do 'Hamilton'. That would take a lot more rehearsals than any play they ever did before and literally every girl wanted to be Angelica. The Altos went on Peggy and a few wanted Eliza.

At the end of the day Emma was understudy for Eliza and second understudy for Angelica because the others didn't quit get the rap parts. Besides from that she was just a normal ensemble member but she was happy with it. Of course she would have liked to get Eliza or Angelica but she was not very confident singing solo in front of people. But she could do it if she had to.

She got home earlier than she thought. Even earlier than normally.

She just grabbed a snack from the kitchen, threw her backpack in her room and went to work a bit in her lab. She could do her homework later.
