Everyday Skills, Friday 2nd Period

[thefearwasreal]

As the class entered, Oz numbered them off by four and flipped a coin, handing them a small bag of candy afterwards.

"Persuasion," Oz began, once all the candy had been distributed. "Someone has something you want, you intend on getting it. Maybe you have something they want, maybe you have something you can make them want, point is, play your cards right and everyone wins, but especially you."

"Now you've all got some candy, there's different kinds, and some of you have more than others. The aim of today's class is to have as much of your preferred candy as you want by the end of the class, using any means that won't land you in detention or jail to get it."

"Have at it, kids."

Rilla walked up to her and dropped her voice. "I'm so sorry, but I think your buttons have slipped a bit on your top! I'm not much of a seamstress but I can tighten up the button holes a bit if you'd like."

The earnestness, Rebecca. It's so earnest and wholesome.

Rebecca glanced back in the direction from which Rilla had just come and shot Peter a look.

And then she smirked, because, come on. 'Tighten up the button holes.' Of course her mind was going to go there.

"Thanks," she said, very sweetly, "but you can tell Peter I'm all right as is."

Beat.

"Would you like some barley sugar?"

"I was worried you'd catch cold," Rilla said. "The weather has been so unpredictable and with all of that skin exposed..."

Yes, she sounded like a grandmother. A judgey, judgey grandmother.

"And thank you! I'd love some."

"I'll be all right," Rebecca assured her condescendingly as she passed over the good majority of her bag of candy. "Thanks."

Beat.

"And you should probably fix that stain," she added in a hushed whisper, pointing at a perfectly stain-free spot on the side of Rilla's sleeve.

Rilla made a little "eep" noise and covered the spot with her hand as she bolted away.

Not without taking the candy, though. She had eclairs to get out of this deal, you know.
