Adopted by Lin Manuel Miranda

Chapter 2- The Cast

Lin lead me in through the stage door, pulling me deeper into the Richard Rodgers. We kept getting odd glances our way, I'm assuming it's because I'm just some random little girl getting pulled backstage by Lin. All of the glances made me really awkward and out of place, I wanted to just sprint out of there. I pushed that feeling aside opting to follow Lin as he lead me into his dressing room. He set my backpack down and I set down my viola case along side it as I found the closest chair to flop down on.

"How are you feeling? Are you ok?" He asked me as soon as I had sat down.

"I feel ok. Just shaken up and a bit dirty. Though I should have seen this coming the boy has been coming on to me for months," I said with disgust both for myself and at the situation. Lin looked at me sadly when I said that.

"How old are you? And what's your name, I never got your name?" He asked trying to get more information out of me.

"I'm 15 years old and my name is Anne," I said.

        "I meant your full name," Lin said intrigued.

       "Anne Renée Wilson," I stated, "Wilson is my real last name not the last name of any of my foster families."

       "You have such a beautiful name," he said with a bit of happiness in his eyes.

        "Wow. Um thank you. I've never really been complimented on my name before," I stuttered out because I wasn't used to such nice words and compliments.

       "Well you should be, it's absolutely beautiful. Actually I'd better let everyone know who you are so they don't freakout when they see a 15 year old girl," he said as he was getting ready to leave the room.

        "No! No, I mean it's fine I'll leave. I don't want to get in your way. I'll just head back to my foster home," I said as I started to gathered my stuff.

         "You aren't in the way and I can't let you go back to that place! I mean that boy, your foster brother, just tried to sexually assault you! You can't go back," He stated.

"Ok, I guess I'll stay here. But I'll just stay in this room I really don't wanna get in anyones way," I stated as I flung myself back on the chair and set my backpack and viola back down.

Lin left the room, I'm assuming to go tell the cast about me, and I was all by myself. I just sat there playing a game on my phone and checking social media. Next thing I know I hear Lin coming back into the room saying he has to get ready for the show. I get to watch him put on his Hamilton clothes and put his mic on and everything. It was actually pretty cool, but the funny part is he was singing really loudly the entire time.

After he had all of his clothes on he left the room again saying he was going to check in on the rest of the cast. Which I'm assuming means harassing them to no end making sure they're ready. I hear the 5 minute call come over the speakers and a yell from somewhere saying damn it Leslie get your costume on. I chuckled to myself because of course he was waiting till the last minute, but I mean I can't judge because I do the same thing everyday before school.

I was just sitting in Lin's dressing room when he bursts in and quickly asks me if I want to see the show and then tugs me out of the room before I could really answer. We were basically sprinting down the stairs as he was trying to get me to where I could go get a seat. Lin passed me off to this person, sadly I never got their name, who quickly brought me into the theater and sat me down in an empty seat. Well that happened fast, I thought to myself with a chuckle.

Of course I had really wanted to see this musical and it had only been out for a month so I got to see it early which I thought was cool. The first act seemed to go by in a flash, full of happiness and amazing characters. The intermission seemed to pass by pretty quickly with the person who sat me earlier coming up to me asking how I liked the play so far. I, of course said it was amazing and I loved it and we had a nice little conversation which ended quickly because I had to be back in my seat for the 2nd act. The 2nd act was very much not as happy and it made me cry more than once. I mean why do all of the innocent little ones have to die because of one stupid idea.

After we gave the cast a standing ovation I quickly got out of my seat and headed to the lobby. I didn't know what to do. Should I stay here or just go back to my foster home? Well I can't leave, I remember, because I have my backpack and viola up in Lin's dressing room.

I was suddenly grabbed by someone and I was about to punch them when I turned around and saw that it was Lin. He pulled me back stage telling me he was going to introduce me to the cast. I was just shocked at how fast all of this was moving but I just decided to go with it. Next thing I know I'm standing in front of the cast of Hamilton and I was absolutely speechless.

Hello! It's me again. So I hope you like this chapter. Don't worry you will get the chapter of her meeting the cast soon enough. Again don't be afraid to tell me if you don't like something. Just tell me in sucks. Anywhooo bye! XOXO
