Clint caught sight of Kate walking down the hall as he was retrieving his bag from his locker.  He hadn’t realized that she was coming so soon — or had he? What day was it?  Tuesday? Thursday? — and the sight of her wandering towards him brought a smile to his haphazardly shaven face.
"Hey Hawkeye," he called out as he swung his locker shut and leaned against the closed door. Â "Glad to see you made it in one piece. Welcome to kindergarten."
Kate could recognize that voice anywhere, and it took only seconds for her to look through the crowded hallway to find her 'mentor'. It was weird to call Clint that, being as he was only barely older than her. The dark-haired girl stepped quickly over to Clint, crossing her arms and grinning. "Awww, you did miss me. The other kids haven't been bullying you while I've been away, have they?"
While the younger archer didn't mind being by herself, she was glad to have her friend around. Being brand new to a place was always sort of awkward.
