"So," Atton said. He looked grumpy. Grumpier than usual, in fact. "The school board thinks we’re not teaching you enough quote-unquote ‘applicable real-life skills’. So the moose sent us a print-out of something straight off of Buzzfeed that we’re supposed to teach you today. So."

He held up the piece of paper menacingly.

"This is the one class we won’t dock points if you try to snark your way out."

"Or if you try to pick an option not presented," Lana said. "Because honestly, whoever wrote these had very little imagination. Though they're still useful as a thought exercise, I suppose."

"Honestly, I have questions about whoever wrote these," Atton said. "All right, here we go."

Question 1

Atton sounded deeply bored as he read this one. "You are at your best friend's wedding just an hour before the ceremony is to start. Earlier that day, you came across definitive proof that your best friend's spouse-to-be is having an affair with someone in the wedding party, and you catch them sneaking out of a room together. If you tell your friend about the affair, their day will be ruined, but you don't want them to marry a cheater. What do you do?"

Beat.

"The options are 'say nothing' or 'ruin their day'. Wow. What a brain-breaker."

"Depends on how much you care about cake," Atton noted.

"Not that much," Anakin admitted.

"You can still eat the cake after the wedding's cancelled," Gray pointed out helpfully.

Re: Question 1

"True," Atton said thoughtfully. "Hell, you could even still throw the party."

Re: Question 1

"Uh, ruin their day, obviously," Gray said. "But maybe it won't ruin their day! Maybe they're poly and they just haven't told you for some reason." Always look on the bright side!

"Telling them will hurt now," Stark said. "Not telling them will cause more hurt, later. For longer. It's better to tell them. Even if they might not forgive you."
