Cooperating with People you Hate, Friday 4th period

"Right!" Lana clapped her hands. "Welcome back. Today we're going to do an Earth exercise that I discovered." She had personally found it to be horrible, but she wasn't going to be the one doing it, was she?

She tapped at the Danger Shop controls, and was rewarded with a platform about five feet off the ground with stairs going up to it.

"This is called a 'trust fall'. One at a time, you'll go up there and fall off of it backwards. Everybody else will catch you. No Force abilities, magic, wings, or far-jumping - you have to just fall, and trust the rest of us."

After all, this place had safety protocols, didn't it?

"It behooves you all to catch each other, because after all, they'll be catching you sooner or later."

I've had to do them as well and I have been dropped Every Single Time.

And every time the instructor has insisted and then says, "Oh my god, that's never happened before!"

I was constantly bullied and self-conscious about my weight. No way in hell I trusted any of my classmates to catch me. I refused and took the hit to my grades.

It was a theatre thing and I was apparently the eternal optimist. Plus I've discovered as an adult that it actually never occurred to me to rebel. It's weird looking back at things sometimes. People ask why I never broke curfew and my brain just went, "But... I had to be back by ten. What do you mean why didn't I just stay out later? Later would be after ten."
