"ARE YOU F@^CKING INSANE!" Vincent screams, punching a hole in a wall. "Sir, I wouldn't be as mad as you are you see-" Mr. Chai gets interrupted by Vincent for almost the 20th time, "Yeah yeah, I get it, but I'm not taking extra just to make sure I don't kill anyone!" 

         Mr. Chai sighs, "It's for your own safety, you know what would happen if Leah where to find out." Vincent bites his lip to keep from screaming, "Fine, but you know damn well if anything goes wrong, you're on the menu."

   "Everyone is looking at me..." Leah whispers into Vaiani's ear, "Girl, you are the only kid in school with a custom Gucci backpack! They're staring at you cuz' you look hella cool!" Vaiani laughs nudging Leah with her elbow. 

    "Or they could be looking at you because you brought 500 dollars for lunch money," adds Mike, staring at his book. "You're doing good Leah, you have nothing to worry about."                                 "Now, this is our clubroom!" Vaiani smiles "The Kaiju research club!" 

                The room is half-finished and has no air-conditioning, there is a few desks, a microscope and a half-eaten candy bar on a table that Vaiani immediately grabs. "You have your stuff?" Vaiani asks, and Leah nods putting down a bag full of glowing metal and things in test tubes. 

         As they set up Mike spots something in Leah's bag, "What's that thing?" Mike asks, and Leah pulls out a face-mask. "Oh, it's just one of those face masks that only cover your mouth and nose."       

   Leah smiles, "But..." she takes out a hoodie and puts it on. Then she puts on the mask, and a black glass-like thing covers her face. "See, this is something I'm working on!" her voice sounds un-recognizable and robotic "It creates a shield protecting your face!"     

   And then at that moment, Vaiani had a very dangerous idea, "Like, protecting your identity or something!" Vaiani smiles, "Dude, you could like go out and stop troops from killing Kaiju's while wearing that!"                                                  

   "That is the dumbest-" Mike tries to say but he is interrupted by Leah, "That would be awesome!"  Leah laughs sitting down in a rusted chair. "But I don't have anything to use as a weapon to protect myself with and a hoodie would do nothing for armor."                                                           "Why don't you just create a suit instead of a hoodie and put a wire in that suit or something like a spy!" Vaiani rammers on, and yes Leah (not Mike) was listening.

   'Dan Kaien, you have been accepted into Wanachee High School'  He reads the internet message letter over and over in his head, 'Dan' he thinks 'That's my new name now.'                                 Keeping his hoodie on the entire day Dan smiles to himself, he's a student at a high school, he doesn't have to worry about being killed anymore, he's...a human now. 

       The thought excites him, he's human. No more hunting for food, now he can just grab rocks from the sidewalk or something, he's fine now! Everything is fine!
