Abridged Sex Ed, Thursday, Period Three
"Did anyone else get lost on their way here?" Magnus asked with a frown. He so wasn't the person to deal with mazes and puzzles. But only because people frowned on metagaming.
It was a day for frowning, it seemed, because Cara didn't look particularly happy either. "Try not to get lost on your way back either."
Damn this island!
"But you know something you shouldn't get lost on?" Magnus added, grabbing a chair to sit on backwards like a cool youth pastor or maybe patriotic themed superhero. "Your changing bodies."
Cara did not sit. Because she wished to keep what little dignity she still had. "And the fact you probably suddenly want to have sex all the time." Someone had been a horny, horny teenager. Both times around.
"Well. Yeah," Magnus said slowly. "That too. But, say you're in some weird dream masquerade and a pop star won't listen to you when you say no. Not cool. That's not how consent works. But in this case the dream masquerade is sex. And the pop star is a jerk."
"That's...one way to put it. If for some reason the pop star has made it so you can't say no, they're still a jerk."
"Only enthusiastic yeses are consent," Magnus said, squinting at the class like doing the Forest Whittaker eye would help this lesson sink in.
Cara started looking around for water so Magnus could wash whatever was irritating his eyes out. "If that's too confusing, you have hands you can keep to yourself."
The problem solved itself luckily as he brightened up. "That's the lesson for the day! Now go have charred hotdogs and watch fireworks. Oh my god, Cara we gotta buy Bomb Pops. Right now."
Cara only rolled her eyes a little. "Fine."
