"Hi, Mr. Hemmings."

Luke looked up and smiled. "Hello, Annabella."

She was always the first one to get to his class and the last to leave. For a while, Luke flattered himself but then Ashton told him it was the same with his classes and all the rest.

Ashton was many pupils' favorite teacher and so was Luke, but they both knew that it was because they were teaching music and art. If it would be chemistry or math, they probably wouldn't be as popular among the students.

"Will we be picking songs for the musical today already?"

She was the best singer he had in the group and in his humble opinion, Annabella also had the best taste in music, as she listened to many bands he did.

"Yes, today we'll do a rough selection and then next week we'll vote."

Luke liked his students to help select both the story they were performing and the songs they were singing. So, if they wanted to turn a movie into a musical, they could. If they wanted to perform songs that differ from the songs in original musicals, they could do that as well.

What mattered to Luke was that they had fun.

After the bell rang the rest of the students poured into the classroom. Luke said hi to all of them.

"Mr. Hemmings," one of the boys raised his hand. "Mr. Irwin said to tell you he'll wait for you after the rehearsals as he wants you to drive him home."

It was pouring outside and Ashton liked to bike to work to keep his spirit happy, as he liked to say. Then, when it was too cold, too hot, or raining, Luke was his designated driver.

After the class, he and a few students headed to a bigger classroom for the theatre class.

Luke ran it with the drama teacher, Mrs. Wick who more than once asked Luke out on a date, despite being twenty years older than him and knowing he was interested in men and men only.

"Luke, I must say those pants look wonderful on you."

Luke said hello and made a mental note to never wear them to work again.

The storyline that was picked for this year was Twilight, therefor they needed to pick all the songs they'll perform.

Luke was already looking forward to the songs the students will be suggested and he couldn't wait to lock himself in the studio and see which could work in the play.

Only then he remembered the studio in his house was now occupied by professional musicians. Slightly more important than a high school play.

"Okay," Luke stood up after everyone arrived. "As promised, today we'll do the rough suggestion, then next week I'll play the arrangements that could work for the play and then we vote."

To no surprise, some students suggested the songs and artists that were original to the franchise, while others either suggested their favorite songs or actually thought about them.
