Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Wednesday | Period 1
"Hey, guys," Neal greeted his class as they came in. Today's class was meeting in a normal classroom, but there were two paper cups on every desk. That was new.
"So according to radio, not everyone's been having the best week," Neal said. Huge understatement, but okay. "So I thought I'd have a nice easy class today. Just some deductive thinking." He gestured to the cups on the students' desks. "Tell the difference between the wine and the juice, and you can leave. That's it."
Look. He'd heard there was no drinking age on the island, and apparently there were students here whose friends and family had vanished off the face of the earth. The least he could do was offer booze. Plus, he would be able to tell the smart (and probably more traumatized) ones by who deliberately guessed wrong in order to get refills. It was a win.

"This would have been a fantasy when I was in high school. I mean my old high school."
Jack really needs to work on keeping an inner monologue.
