Badass Bitch Survival Guide; Monday, Second Period [10/18-.

[died8yearsago]

When the students got to the classroom that morning, they would find, sitting on the desk at the front of the room, a box of very nicely decorated donuts (most of them very much fall themed--maple, pumpkin spice, apple cider) from J,GoB, and that was it.

No note, no sign, definitely no teacher.

Just donuts.

That's all.

(Or was it?)

Yay! Free donuts!

So...there are delicious looking donuts sitting on the front of the classroom with no teacher in it.

Do you take a donut on your way to having a seat? Do you regard them suspiciously and avoid them at all costs? Do you hang back and wait for someone else to bit the sugary bullet first?

Those of you who do take donuts, congratulations. There's no immediate trap that trigger from you taking one, but as soon as you take a bite, you're going to realize that those donuts are actually just filled with sand.

"So."

Where had Rosa come from? When did she get there? Had she been there the whole time? These were all very good questions that none of you will probably have the answer to, but the fact of the matter was, as soon as people started to realize that the donuts they grabbed were full of sand (assuming that at least one person did, in fact, grab one), she was just...there, arms folded, looking them over with a cool glance that may have held hints of disappointment or approval based on what your choice may have been.

"Traps," she said. "Some are obvious, some are more subtle, but a badass bitch is going to need to know how to spot one when they see one. This one is pretty obvious; it's pretty fair to be suspicious about anything just lying around without explanation. But how many of you would have thought that the trap lied in what the donuts were made out of, rather than maybe some other sort of effect? Did you expect something different if you took one? Like what? A good trap is going to subvert expectations and surprise the person caught in it, which is something to keep in mind if you're going to set a trap for someone. So let's talk about traps today. It may be something that might be helpful to you sooner than you realize."

Was there a note of hint, of suggestion in that comment? Or was it just another trap?

"Let's start with the donuts," she said, leaning against the desk and hitching her thumb that way, before carefully plucking out the one donut she knew was a normal one, one of the simple sugared ones, the ones she figured no one else would take. "Good trap? Terrible trap? And why? What would you have done differently? Let's start and go from there, see where it leads us, but if there's one thing that I hope we can take away from this class is to maybe start looking at things as potential traps whenever you can. Like I said, it may even be useful to you some day. Maybe sooner than you think."

With that, she took a bite of her donut and pointed hastily at a student at random. "You. What are your thoughts on traps?"

You know, a woman who just potentially led some of her students into eating sand.

...which wasn't that bad. There were way worse things you could put in a donut to feed to children than sand.

This class should not have made me actually want donuts, and yet, here we are....
