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.

Ben walks into school looking tired and sullen, as he didn't sleep very well last night. This thing with Kassi wasn't sitting well with him and he'd been a little short with Mom this morning when she got on his case for being late.

Ben shambles to his locker and grabs his books, hoping he can make it through the day without issue.

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?"

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."

"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.

"Oh, okay." Jack hurries along, keeping stride without too much trouble.

"So you're in the same year as me?"

"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?"

"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.

"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."

"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.

Three days out of school was enough or so Mac had said so Kassi was back at the books. She'd been pretty careful to avoid Ben most of the day--not difficult since their schedules didn't overlap much, but there was no avoiding lunch.

She'd just have to manage, sitting at the far end of the table, hunching over her algebra book and hoping that invisibility is an Atlantean trait (no such luck.)

When Ben saw Kassi he smiled and headed toward her table to sit down.

"Hey, Kassi! You're back. Did you get the homework I gave Mac for you?" Ben asks.

...the hell?

Kassi sat up a bit and tucked her hair behind her ear as she looked at Ben a little cautiously.

"Yeah. I was surprised you bothered to do that for me, but thank you."

Jack trailed after Ben, as he had been doing for much of the day. He looked at the girl, then to Ben.

"Is this a friend of yours?"

"Yeah, this is my..." Ben wasn't sure if he could say 'girlfriend' so he settled for "friend, Kassi McKenzie. She comes out to the basketball games and stuff."

Ben offers Jack a seat, then turns back to Kassi.

"Well, I wanted to help." Ben says. "You'd do it for me."

"Is everything okay with you?" Ben asks.

Friend. Well, that confirmed it. The semi-makeout fest at Big Nick's had been undone by Valentine's Day's disaster. She tried not to seem disappointed.

"Yeah, but people don't usually help out when they're pissed. You were pretty pissed." she said softly before nodding at Jack.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you."

Jack sits down, brushing a little of the excess salt off his pretzel, and extending his other hand to Kassi. "I'm John Smith, but I go by Jack. Nice to meet you as well, Kassi."

He looks between the two of them, wondering if Ben was her ex or something. The way she talked about him being 'pissed' seemed to have a particular edge to it.

"Okay, I don't know what's going on or what you told Mac, but...I'd like to get past it." Ben tells her.

"He came here and grilled me like I'm some kind of criminal and it really bugged me." he says.

"You came over to my apartment and accused me of leading you on. Kind of really hurt me. I didn't know Vincent was going to show up with flowers. He's totally not my type, I'm definitely not into him. His dad and my dad go way back so I'm polite to him. He's not the guy I want to date."

She picks at the corner of one of her books for a moment.

"Mac is a little overprotective. I guess when he came over and saw me crying he took it badly. I'm sorry about that, Ben."

Jack just sinks into his seat a little bit, munching on his pretzel.

"Should... um... should I give you two some privacy?"

"No, Jack, it's cool. This isn't something that's going to get fixed in one shot, it seems." Ben says.

"You guys up for hanging out after school? We could go to Big Nick's." Ben suggests.
