301--3rd period

Reciprocity

"Ok, so...yesterday you heard the lecture and you all gave me papers that missed the mark. How do I return that favor, hmm?"

She stares at them for a long time with her arms folded.

"Presents are nice. So is public speaking and personal sharing. Everyone...give me a decent example of reciprocity. If your example is below the bar I have set in my mind and am not telling you about...I'll make you do it again."

If Phoebe didn't like CJ so much, and respect her, she might have done a *headdesk* or a total *facepalm*.

Thursday was going to be a new kind of hell, and for the first time, she was dreading CJ's class.

"That," Bel said carefully, "might get me in a lot of trouble around here." He thought for a moment. "I'll do mine praising bullies." He grinned.
