Health, Friday, Third Period

"Hi!" Summer greeted the other students. She sounded genuinely enthusiastic.

"So there's good news and bad news. Bad news? Dr. Reid can't be here because she has the flu. Ew!" she continued, horrified by the thought of being sick. "Good news? You get me instead! Although I'm not actually gonna do any teaching because, seriously, I'm not qualified. She left this video for you all to enjoy, though."


Elliot appears on the videotape, looking near-death.

"Hey, everyone. Sorry to miss the first day of class -- I decided to be sane and not share my flu with all of you. Summer Roberts is your TA, please treat her well.

"This should be pretty easy class, because it's about you guys. We'll be discussing stuff like diet and fitness, hygiene, peer pressure, alcohol abuse, stuff like that. And of course we have a sex ed unit, which will probably embarrass me about five hundred times more than any of you. Summer has copies of the syllabus

"I'm going to give you some pointers to websites that we'll be using all semester, and that might cover some topics we won't get to in class. Check out http://www.kidshealth.org/teen, http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/teenhealth.html and http://www.teenhealthfx.com .

"And even though I'm not there? I'm going to use my power and give you guys homework. Please keep a food and exercise diary for the next week. Next Friday, we'll share them and look at how your eating habits fit into the food pyramid at http://www.mypyramid.gov.

"For today, just fill out the survey Summer's handing out and pass them back in. I promise not to read your answers out loud or anything, this is just for my information. Once you've done that, you can call it a week and I'll meet you all the 15th. Oh, and my office hours are Monday and I should be feeling better by then, in case any of you desperately need to meet me sooner."


When the video ended, Summer handed each student a syllabus and a survey. She certainly didn't contemplate reading the surveys. Nope. Not at all.

"Yes. I burned it," Jamie replied. "You don't need it anymore."

"Have you been paying attention to my e-mails?" Jamie said with a sigh. "I've picked up a few tricks at Xavier's. Been working on that whole empathic link thing. I'm assuming I'll be assimilated soon?"

"Yeah. We'll do that in a second. Anything else I need to know?"

"The ethics teacher didn't like it when I countered his question about what would you do for love with 'What would you do for a Klondike Bar?"

Jamie thought about it for a second. "Wait. That's a totally legitimate question! There's got to be someone in the universe who'd do anything for a Klondike bar."

"All right well thanks for letting me know," Jamie replied with a sigh and the absorbed the duplicate.
