How to Make Friends & Influence People | 4th Period | Monday
"Good afternoon, class! Happy Monday!" Carter said, beaming at all of them. If he wasn't happy like this every week, it would have been easy to blame his mood on the eggnog he'd drank half a glass of before realizing that it was alcoholic. But no, it was just Carter.
(Though the eggnog had been quite good.)
"This is our second last week together," he said, which was… where even had the time gone? "And Fjord and I have decided that the best way to spend this week is on planning a party for next week!"
Fjord had lost the rock-paper-scissors game to decide what they taught today.
Fjord was resigned to this fate, just so long as this went relatively painlessly and then he could wash his hands of it.
"This week," he drawled, "we want you to go over what you think would make for a good, 'making friends,'" he did not add 'influencing people,' because he was now a teacher with a broken spirit, apparently, "party. Food, activities. Maybe something to do to get to know your classmates better...?"
"Perhaps a potluck?" Carter suggested brightly. "Or a craft table, where you create something that will remind you of each other?"
Or both! Both was good!
"Within reason, the two of us will fund whatever your plans turn out to be," Carter continued. "So, please, don't feel the need to be restrained by your own funds."
Would anybody judge Fjord terribly hard if he just hoped the students wanted a pizza and to settle in for some light conversation? Yes? Dammit.
"So, get to planning," he said. "And if there's anything you need, Carter and I are here to hear you out."
Carter looked startled for a moment, then his smile brightened once more. "And, please, help yourself to cookies and sushi!"
