"I don't think I'm in Carter High anymore."
Midtown High School, August 2016-
The car was silent as Alison stared out the window, her arms crossed with an annoyed look. The only sound was the silent whirring of the car's AC, and the soft music that was playing in the background.
Needless to say, it was driving Jackie insane that her younger cousin was not budging.
"Listen, Ali, you know that you have to do this." The woman sighed, pushing up her glasses from their position on her nose. "You made a deal with Tony Stark, and I'm pretty sure that neither of us want to see the consequences of you not following through with that deal."
"Can I make the argument that the fact that I never thought I'd make it out of the Raft was the only reason that I agreed to this deal? Not because I actually wanted to go to this school or be monitored by someone who's already being watched under the Sokovia Accords?" The girl grumbled out, earning a pointed look from her guardian.
Jackie let out a groan as she turned off the car, the whirring of the AC coming to a stop as the car dinged. "Get your ass out of the car, Alison. This isn't negotiable, and you know that." Grabbing her car keys from the lanyard they were hooked upon, Jackie opened the car door, stepping out of the car into the sunlight.
The two had been required to come to the new student "Orientation" as the school counselor that had called their household had called it, recommending it as a chance for them to get to know the school's campus and some of the students better in order to ensure an easier transition from her former school.
Alison let out a small curse of swears as she opened her own door, the sour face still plastered on her, not going away any time soon. Slamming her door shut, she got another glare from Jackie, to which she responded by rolling her eyes.
"C'mon, Ali." Jackie motioned towards the gates of the school, black and more than 10 feet tall. In all honesty, Alison thought that it looked kind of like a prison. A very technologically advanced and studious prison, at that.
Letting out a scoff at how ironic that it was that she was trading one floating ocean prison for another, Alison slowly walked up to be in stride with her cousin, who waited at the base of the steps for her. "You know, I could just figure my way around here on the first day of school." She protested, trying to look for a way out.
"And probably get multiple tardies that will get back to me?" Jackie fired back, keeping herself calm and collected as she took the steps two by two. "You know that I'm not going to let you get out of this. It's recommended that we go to these kind of things, and if this is going to be where you're going to high school for the next three years, then you might as well start getting involved."
