Midtown High (open post)
Jack had finally lost the argument with Marcia that even though Doctor Samson had cleared him for it, going to school was a waste of time. She made the arrangements for him to enroll just after the break, and so here he was. He wandered the halls of Midtown High early in the morning, trying to make sense of the schedule, or even find his locker.

This whole thing would be so much simpler if he just crawled along the ceiling; but that would tend to compromise the whole secret identity thing.

	Jack finally gets frustrated and politely tugs at someone's sleeve. "Umm, excuse me... do you know where I can find this locker.. and these classrooms?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ben looks at the person speaking to him for a moment and reminds himself that this guy hasn't done anything to him, so there's no need to flip out on him.

Still, it's very difficult not to.

"Your locker is..." Ben looks around and finds that Jack's locker is literally right next to his. "...here."

"You need to be careful with them. They jam sometimes." Ben says.

Then he looks over Jack's schedule and sees that he's got all but two classes with the guy.

"Okay, you've got Lunch Two, which is the better one in my opinion. But it looks like we share our first two classes, so I can show you where they are. This place isn't hard to navigate, really. If you know where the library and the gym are, you can find almost any other place in the school. They're on opposite ends of the school, and the classrooms were built around them." Ben says, offering his hand.

"I'm Ben Parker."

	"John Smith, call me Jack." He shakes the hand graciously, having been rather nervous about this whole thing. He's much more comfortable above crowds than in them. "I'll keep that in mind, the library and the gym part." He looks around at all the rush. "Is everyone always so busy? I always thought there was a lot more hanging out and talking in between classes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only in teen movies, man. If you're in the hallways after the bell and you aren't hot-footing it to class, expect detention." Ben says. "Come on, let's move." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, okay." Jack hurries along, keeping stride without too much trouble. "So you're in the same year as me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, looks like it. We're both sophomores. It's not bad. We're just two years away from ruling this school." Ben assures Jack. "So, where did you transfer from, if I can ask?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I've never been to school before, as far as I can remember." Jack shrugs. "Then again, I can't remember very far back." Doctor Samson had assured him that this sort of thing was unfortunately common, so it was easier just to explain that part honestly than bother keeping up some kind of cover story.

	"Wow, that's rough, Jack. How do you deal with it? The memory loss?" Ben asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, mostly I fi--" Jack stops himself from saying 'fight crime', "--nd ways to help people. Volunteer at shelters and stuff. I honestly don't dwell on it as much as you might expect. Living in the present is complicated enough without getting weighed down by the details." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You're right, man. People think guys our age don't pay attention to the present or what not, but we do. Still, it's cool that you're able to help people. Most people wouldn't be able to consider that." Ben says.

The pair reach Mr. Feinberg's classroom and Ben nods to the front of the room.

"You need to check in with Mr. F and show him your schedule." Ben says, handing the paper back to him.

"He'll get you added to the class and seated. And you'll just do that in all of your classes today." Ben tells him.

	"Thanks for the help... you wanna have lunch together?" Jack asks hopefully, before they part ways to get their learn on. (Reply to this)(Parent)
