How to Make Friends & Influence People | 4th Period | Monday

There was only one teacher in the classroom today and, well, Carter honestly wasn't sure where Fjord had gotten off to. Still, that wasn't the sort of thing to share with the class, so he smiled gently at them, tucking his concern away.

"Good morning," he said, "it's just me today, so I thought we would keep it simple. This past weekend some of you had parents and friends from home visit, while some of you didn't. I won't ask which of you were which."

It really wasn't any of his business, unless they wanted to speak to him about it.

"This past weekend was about friends and family coming here, to see how you lived and worked on the island," he continued, still smiling. "So I thought that today, we would turn it about. If you were to bring the class to your world, what would you show them? What would you do for fun?"

Carter folded his hands in front of him. "Let's talk about this today. And should you wish to not share anything about your home, that is quite alright as well--ask your classmates about theirs."

Waffles were generally a pretty good argument for going anywhere, it was true.

Carter nodded his head. "And teaching someone about your world isn't truly the point of this exercise. What we do to teach and what we show our friends are often completely different things. Where would you go after the Waffle House?"

Considering this for a moment, Simon suggested, "Maybe just back to my place? Or maybe to Nick or Leah's -- they're friends of mine from back home. And just spend an evening, like, chilling and watching Netflix and playing video games."

So, so many nights playing video games with Nick and Leah.
