Health, 12/01, Period 2

Elliot looked slightly frazzled as she stood before the class. "Hi! Somehow, it has been over a month since we started the sex ed unit, between one thing and another." And her fear that if she tried teaching it again, she'd heave a nervous breakdown. "We're wrapping it up today, and then next week we move into our final unit for the semester, which is a quickie first aid course."


"I'm going to start by making you kind of never even want to think about your no-no places. Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, are, um, diseases that are transmitted sexually.By age 21, about 1 in 5 Americans has contracted an STD that needs treatment." She continued with a brief but informative lecture on common STDs and how they were spread. "And I found a goofy little filmstrip from the 70s about how STDs are everyone's problem, so ... yeah. Don't be embarrassed." Easy for her to say.

She cued the movie, and then another one. "That second film was how they used to teach sex ed in the 50's and '60s. Well, not the part at the beginning, but..."

"Anyhow, you should all have presentations on a contraceptive of your choice. I want you to pair up and explain whatever method you picked to your partner. Discuss the pros and cons of each."

Setsuna tapped a pen impatiently on her desk, in a manner that made it clear that, if anyone partnered up with her, they'd better make it quick.

Jamie sat down and smiled at Setsuna. The packed duffel back he's carrying also might be a sigh he'd like to make this quick.

"Hey Setsuna! Got a partner?" Jamie asked and then plowed into his presentation without waiting for an answer. "I chose abstinence. There nothing to buy and no instructions to follow other than 'Don't do it'. What about you?"

Setsuna's eyes did take in the duffel bag with a slightly piqued interest before her eyes snapped back to Jamie. "Sterilization," she said, stiffly, before going into a near-encyclopedic schpiel about it in a short clipped tone that conveyed both her annoyance at having to sit through class right now as well as her disappointment that castration hadn't been an option. Sterilization was the closest one, though, to that.

Jamie paled at times during the near-encyclopedic schpiel and detail of the sterilization process but managed to grin when it was over. "Steriliazation: Harsh but very Effective."

Her gaze shifted to Jamie duly. She decided not to mention her perfered method after all. Mostly because she was in the sort of mood where she just might try it.

There was something about that gaze...

"Sowedonehere?Good!Seeya!"

If the door hadn't been open there probably would have been a Jamie-shaped hole in it.

Well, hell, if Jamie was leaving, she was too. She stood up, adjusted her skirt, slung her bag over her shoulder, and left.

She still had two hours to kill, though. MIght as well take her time....
