"THE STOCK MARKET IS BASED ON
two principles" coach finstock began. "what are they?" the man asked his class, looking around for raised hands. his eyes landed on scott mccall who had his arm up. "yes mccall, you can go to the bathroom. anybody else?""no coach, i know the answer" scott's answer received a wheezing laugh from his teacher which earned a laugh from mariana. the girl had absolutely loved coach. he kept it real and he was funny. the werewolf and his best friend looked at mariana who got a fist bump from finstock
"oh, you're serious" the educator realized, seeing the offended look on mccall. "yes. risk and reward" the brunet answered confidently. scott's answer made their teacher beam, "wow! who are you and what have you done to mccall? don't answer that, i like you better. i like you better" he repeated. "does anybody have a quarter?"
"a quarter?" he repeated, earning an answer from stiles. "yup" he dug into his pocket, taking out a coin, along with something else in pocket falling to the floor. coach knelt down, picking up to reveal a condom. mariana laughed, looking at the package, impressed on the XXL size shown. "stilinski, you uh- you dropped this" coach spoke, giving the item back to stiles, who's face was flustered with embarrassment.
"and congratulations" he muttered with a smirk, walking away. mariana leaned towards him, "too bad heather ditched you before you destroyed her" she joked, earning a look from the flustered boy. "risk and reward" finstock continued. "put the quarter in the mug, win the reward" he explained, placing his coffee mug on the floor.
"okay, watch coach" he spoke, kneeling down, blowing a sharp breath on the quarter. he threw the coin on the floor, the piece of change ricocheting off the ground, landing in the mug. the class applauded their teacher and he greatly accepted the attention.
"okay, mariana" coach called, causing the girl to look up at him. she just hummed in response. coach walked up to her, placing the quarter on her desk. "risk, reward" he said. "what's the reward?" the girl asked. "you don't have to take the pop quiz tommorow" he answered. "coach, its not a pop quiz if you tell us about it" a boy shouted out, earning a glare from coach.
"danny, you know i really expect more from you at this point. really" he replied in disappointment, making his way to scott. "mccall. risk, reward. the risk: if you don't put that quarter in the mug, you have to take the pop-the quiz. AND, and you have to write an essay. risk: more work, reward: no work at all" the econ educator explained, using his hands to speak "or...choose not to play"
"but isn't this just chance?" the mccall child countered. "no" coach replied, "you know your abilities, your coordination, your focus, your past experience. all factors effecting the outcome. so, what's it gonna be mccall? more work, no work, or choose not to play?" his student set the coin down on his text book, "no play. okay, who's next? who wants the quarter" stiles drummed his hands on the desk, standing up.
