the demonstration
Train walked up to the front of the room. Sven smiled and glanced at the class again.
"Today we will be demonstrating what happens when someone passes out and you have to use the mouth-to-mouth method," Sven said. "Train, lie down on the floor and pretend to be asleep."
Train did as he was told. He waited patiently for any more instructions.
"Now, here's how to do the mouth-to-mouth method," Sven told the class. "You get on the ground next to the unconscious victim. Next, you place your mouth on theirs and literally breathe for them. After five breaths, push on their abdomen five times and see if they're breathing. If the breathing doesn't resume after six minutes, that person is said to be dead. Above all this, call 911 before attempting to revive the victim. I'll show how it's done."
Sven went down next to Train and placed his mouth strategically on Train's own and kissed the boy.
Train kept his eyes closed and tried to remain calm, but deep down he was beginning to panic. No man had ever kissed him before and it was scaring him badly.
Sven flicked his tongue into Train's mouth, rubbing it against the boy's tongue.
Train became even more terrified. Here he was a high school student in his last year, getting kissed by a male substitute teacher! How dare he? Train thought.
Sven ended the kiss and started pressing onto Train's abdomen. Train immediately opened his eyes and moaned in brief pain. He looked over and saw Sven's smiling face.
"This is how to perform the mouth-to-mouth method, class," Sven said. He winked at Train as the boy got up and went back to his seat. "Mr. Heartnet, since you were such a great and willing demonstration, I'm going to give you fifty extra credit points. Good job."
During the rest of the class period Sven talked about other ways to revive an unconscious person. After explaining a fifth method, the bell rang and the students exited the room. Train was the last one out of the room. It was time to get to lunch.
