Sex Ed, Tuesday, First Period

[screwyoumarvel]

Today a large poster was displayed at the front of the classroom. "I would just like to start by saying I had nothing to do with the creation of this poster," Steve said, looking faintly embarrassed about it. "But it has an important message. You can't always tell by looking at someone whether they have a venereal disease or not. They may not even know it. That's why protection is so important, and why abstinence is the only really effective way of preventing the spread of disease. Today we're going to have a little exercise to demonstrate this.

"You have the rest of the class period free to mingle and eat these cookies I brought. Half of you will receive a packet of chocolate chip cookies, and half of you will receive a packet of bacon maple cookies. If you want to trade, or try one of the other cookies, well, then you'll have to talk to each other, won't you? There is only one requirement: you must shake hands with anyone you talk to. And there is a catch. One of you is--hypothetically, of course--carrying a disease, which is transferred by the shaking of hands. I will tell you who at the end of the period. But don't worry about that for now. Chat. Enjoy the cookies."

((Disease vector has now been revealed!))

"Congratulations!" Steve said at the end of class. "Anyone who spoke to Matt Murdock now has chlamydia."

He aimed for realism, okay?

...Stacey sighed.

Stacey sighed a lot. For a few reasons, okay?

Matt frowned. For some reason he felt like he was being singled out.

And yet it was totally for a good reason.

"Sorry everyone," Matt said holding up his hand. "Apparently I need to practice better judgement when I share my cookies."

Too bad it was a lesson Matt would never learn from.

Darcy frowned. "I've had chlamydia twice in a row now!" Not quite what she meant there.
