Laura's Pov
I can't believe it; I'm going to be in a Marvel movie! Oh my gosh I'm gonna meet the Russo brothers! I gonna meet the Avengers cast and Scarlett freaking Johannson oh my gosh I'm gonna pass out! Ok Laura calm down, deep breaths.

I finished reading the rest of the email while eating my macaroni and cheese with bread. As I read through, I noticed a few things that were kind of concerning. One of which being that it was being filmed in New York and the other being that you need a parent or guardians' permission. Well crap, now there's no chance I can do this because mom and dad will never agree to let me go. I guess I can deal with this tomorrow. I closed my laptop and threw away my empty food containers. Time for homework, how fun.

*Time skip to the next day at lunch*   

Third Pov
Laura and Talia were both sat talking about the books they were writing. Talia noticed Laura wasn't fully there and tried calling her name a few times. "Laura!" Laura flinched a little snapping out of her daze finally looking over at her friend. "Sorry I called your name a few times, but you didn't respond."

"Oh, uh sorry, I just have a lot on my mind," She let out an awkward chuckle. Talia hummed in response popping a grape into her mouth.

"Is it about your parents?" Laura looked down at her sleeve as she fiddled with the end.

"Um k-kinda, there's something else though..." Talia raised her eyebrow signaling for her to continue with her hand. "Well yesterday I got an email from someone regarding my audition for a movie. I uh I got the part," Before Laura could continue, she was interrupted by Talia congratulating her. "Thanks, but I don't know if I'll be able to do it," She muttered the last part.

"What why?"

"Because it's being filmed in freaking New York, and I need my stupid parents' permission and we all know how that's gonna play out," Laura rolled her eyes.

"Damn, that really sucks," Talia sympathized.

"Yep," she said popping the p.

The girls finished up there lunches just as the bell rang. "Welp see you at yearbook," Talia smiled.

"Oo actually no you won't, I have to skip it today. Johns letting me tag along for an interview.

"Oh, ok then see you tomorrow," Talia smirked.

*Time skip to after school*

Laura was waiting outside when she saw John pulling up in front of her. She opened the door and hopped in. "Hey tiny you ready to go?" Laura rolled her eyes at the nickname before nodding her head. They drove for around ten minutes before John noticed Laura was acting off. "Laura you are being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal," John smirked.

"Heh, I understood that reference," Laura said pointing her finger at him.

"I know you did, now what's up? You're zoning out more than usual," Laura hesitates before responding.

"A little while back I auditioned for a pretty big role in a movie. I found out last night after you called that I got the part. But it's being filmed all the way in New York, so I need my parents' approval, but I don't think they'll let me go," Laura explained with a frown.

John knew a little about her parents but not to the extent that Talia did. He knew that they got mad easily and she didn't have the best treatment, but he didn't know about the beatings and not letting her eat. "That's a tough one,"

"Yep, so got any great advice for me?" Laura said making John chuckle.

"Just ask them and if they say no, I'll give the stamp of approval and ship you over there," He joked making Laura giggle.
