An Education.
Day Two of public school did not appear to be headed down any more positive a path than Day One.  Kassia arrived early so she could stop by the office and pick up her class schedule, only to discover that they did not yet have her name correct.  She was now "Grace McKenzie".  She gave up at that point, realizing that any further protestations would just piss off the administration and also likely leak her identity as an Atlantean princess, which would piss off Namor.  Truth was, Kassi had no documentation with her name as Kassia save for Atlantean paperwork.  That they were able to get the McKenzie right was a step in the correct direction and she took it.

There was then the matter of her locker.  Kassia couldn't make the lock open, her efforts resulting in the lock breaking in her hands.  She was going to have to carry her stuff in her bag, which was fine.  She could handle that, but she was late for her first class, got lost finding her second, and by the time lunch rolled around she managed to spill juice on herself...and discovered there wasn't a single vegan option available.  And asking for one had gotten her weird looks from the cafeteria staff and students alike.  By the first class after lunch, Kassia had earned the badge of "Weird New Girl".

This wasn't going well.  When Study Hall arrived, Kassia found a spot at the furthest table away from everyone else and wished briefly that invisibility was one of her abilities.  She could use it.

Kassi's eyes lit up immediately at the subject change.

"His name is Ben. We have Algebra and study hall together. He's coming over to watch True Blood and once we've finished that I'm borrowing your Sons of Anarchy dvds so we can watch that, too. He plays basketball."

Mac smiles. There's no resistance to having his stuff commandeered, either. "That sounds like a great plan."

"He's bringing food by. I've warned him that I'm vegan, but thus far he doesn't think it's weird. Either he's really cool...or something."

"No, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask. Gods, I love basketball. But at any rate, he seems cool."

"He's aparently the school star, if the glares the girls were giving me are any indication--and with girls it usually is. And he's coming over tonight. Which means I'll probably get beat up tomorrow, catfight style."

Mac's tempted to wonder just how good this kid is. If he's really, really good, maybe Mac can ask him for little one-on-one without its being pointless. But he doesn't want to hijack Kassi's guest, of course.

Back to being the optimistic reassurer. "Even if they get that upset, I'm pretty sure the Fist can hold her own against a bunch of catty schoolgirls."

"I have no idea. I guess we'll find out, but it's not like I'm penniless. I can afford to pay for the locker I smashed to hell and back in a fit of Atlantean anger."

Kassi gives him an absolutely innocent face.

"Of course I would."

...That innocent face is just a little unsettling, but Mac's going to stick by his decision. "...Okay, then."
