I currently GM a one-on-one GURPS Supers campaign where the PC is a 15 year-old metahuman, homeless, and attending school without the teachers or classmates realizing EITHER of her secrets. Some of the teachers and students have figured in the plot, but mostly to establish how little the administration is doing about the bullying of unpopular kids like herself. Classes have been skimmed over unless there's someone who needs to be talked to, something that needs to happen, or a Chekhov's Lesson that has to be acquired.
