"Yes, you can call me Fen. I think I better go to the office. Nice meeting both of you."
I bow my head and run out the door. I feel like such an idiot. Instead of going to the office I go home. I just want to cry!
I can't handle school!

Dan tries to stop the girl but she just runs away. For a moment, Dan stands there thinking. He looks at the class room. Everyone else here is now staring to him. Dan instantly blushes and runs out as well.
Standing outside, panting, his face still red, Dan curses under his breath. He hated it when everyone looked at him like that! Well, he couldn't go back now. He realizes he's got something in his hand and looks at it. Fen's book bag? She must have left it when she ran out.
Straightening, he looks around. No one around... He needs to take this back to her. Dan takes a single die from his pocket and kneels.
"Urbun Tracking. +2 circumstance bonus. +2 Int bonus. DC 15." Dan rolls the die. It bounces and comes up 14. 18 total. Success! Like a compus, Dan turns the way that Fen ran, seeing the way she went perfectly. "Well... why not?" Swinging both bags onto his back, Dan starts walking, following Fen to wherever she ran off to.

I run home and realize when I get there that I forgot my book bag. Oh well, I will get it later. I go to the day care center and pick up my son. I bring him home and make him macaroni and cheese, his favorite.
"Oh Kolya, I don't know what I will do. I wish I didn't have to go to school, but Red Infinity wants me to."
Kolya doesn't say much. He eats his lunch and goes to the living room to watch cartoons.
I clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes.

"Well... trail stops here. Must be the place." Dan puts the book bags down and a sigh. Things got heavy after awhile. Turning back to the door, he reaches up and knocks.

Iris sighed. "I suppose your right mother."
She honestly had no idea what to do.
"But won't Red Infinity kill me for defying them?"

I go to the door and see that Dan from school brought my bookbag.
"Oh...I forgot it at class. Thanks for taking it here for me. If you like you can come in. I just made macaroni and cheese if you are hungry."

"Um... no problem. Thanks." Dan follows Fen in. "Nice place."

"Thanks." I hand him a bowl of mac and cheese. Kolya comes into the kitchen and sits on my lap.
"This is Kolya...the light in my life!" I say cheerfully.

"Oh." Dan takes a bite of mac and cheese. "He's cute."
Dan processes everything in an instant. Fen has a child. The child is several years old, meaning that if Fen truly is eighteen she was in her earily teens when she became pregnant. As such, the father of the child was probably close to the same age and had skipped out on her. That explained why she had had to leave school.
"You know Fen, if you need help in school, I can tutor you in most subjects." Dan takes another bite.

"I...no...that's okay. I don't want to burdon you. I am just nervous. I have been out of school a few years."
I eat some macaroni.
"His father is with Red Infinity. He is older than me. I am not sure how much older. I never asked. It is not so bad. I have a lot left to learn in life."

"It's no trouble really. I have alot of free time and I live alone. Maybe you didn't notice back in the classroom but I don't have alot of friends. Jon is it and he hasn't been around lately. This is good," he adds, indicating the mac and cheese.

"Okay, well I might just take you up on that offer. But I warn you...my life is really a mess. I don't think you should bother getting involved with me."
I think about the new classes starting next week.
"I wonder what the new teacher will be like. I hope he is understanding."

"You don't know the teachers very well. Their as over worked and underpaid as anyone else in the system, which is all of us.
Most of them aren't even very good at what they do, but they manage. But, I've never had a decent teacher at this school. Who know though, maybe you'll get lucky."

"I won't worry about it."
"Um...so what is that game that you play?"

"All of them," answer Dan. After he swallows a mouthfull of mac and cheese he explains farther, "I play all the TTV RPGs. Dungeons and Dragons in my favorite but I play VtM, WtA, MtA, Grey Hawk, DL, a little of everything."
