[Laura's been trying to adjust. Part of her wonders if coming here wasn't a grave mistake — she'd come thinking there are more like her, people who would accept her more willingly, and in a way, that's true. However... There are a few... annoyances. Grievances. Her rather overworked case worker Linda has been making sure she goes to school. Today isn't the best day for school, though. She's quiet and 'weird' and the other children usually aren't fond of her and her quiet but present danger.
And for Laura, well. She doesn't do well with anyone 'teaching' her. She's had too much of 'teaching' the last eleven years of her... eleven years.
She may or may not have punched another kid in the eye.
She may or may not have ditched school.
And now she sits on the top of a rather tall and dangerous brick-ish wall in the city, her feet hanging precariously off the edge. Close by, the shadow of a tram wooshes by, and somewhere out there, Linda the Case Worker is having a heart attack. Laura, however, seems more puzzled and annoyed than anything. She sits with a potentially stolen bag of mini-donuts, her favorite glasses pressed up on her forehead and her lovely albeit mildly damaged unicorn shirt clear and vibrant.]
Why do children have to go to classes?
I can learn outside of school.
[There are mean children that exist. She's never ran into children who are so exclusionary; after all, mutants had to stick together.
And teachers aren't bad, but something about the set-up bothers her, in ways she's not sure how to explain.
Maybe it's harder to blend in than you'd think. Not that she had gone into this with any high hopes.]

If school doesn't work for you, there's other ways to learn. Home school, or one on one tutoring.

[ But Bill smiles. ]
Is there anyone here who you know who could teach you outside of school?
no subject
I don't know a lot of people.
[Or, you know. Trust them.]

[ Bill can't imagine they'd just let a girl as young as her run about with no supervision. ]

Linda.
... My — case worker.

[No matter how uncertain she is of all this... mingling...
She also knows it's better than what life was like before. Four walls, training rooms, and a distinct feeling that something was horribly wrong about everything she was. What's a little help with homework?]
