Why is this damn class so hard, Andi was thinking. She had signed up for German because the teacher, Ms. Engle, basically gave away A's. Open book tests and class participation was 75 %. You show up, you pass. Why did the old hag have to get married? Who would want her...Andi was really, really mad. This new teacher was the professor from hell, Herr Schwollendik. The "dik" part was right. Quiz every class and no credit for showing up. She was doomed. Since she had basically washed out of Calc, if she dropped this class her credits would fall below her amount for her scholarship level. If she failed it her GPA would be too low. She had to pass no two ways about it. Tutoring, how bad could that be?.. So she waited until after class to see him.
"Ahhndi, you are so far behind there is little I can do mit you."
" please, something, tutoring, anything.." she pleaded.
" you vould have to have A on last test and A on final and maybe do extra credit. You do nozzing now, vhy vould I think you vill do it now?."
" please Herr S I really need this class, I just have to pass."
" it is Herr Schwollendik, NOT Herr S! I will give you one opportunity If you fail zis one you are gone. Tonight after my last class 9 pm sharp, here. Do not miss it. If you miss it, do not bother with any further classes, you have failed."
"Thank you, thank you." she repeated as she ran out the door. One last chance, great! On her way back to her dorm she ran into a few friends. Being relieved she had found a way out of this problem she decided to have a couple of beers. It was early yet and she had time. Well a couple turned to six and as she headed to the dorm she had quite a buzz on, and was sleepy. She set her alarm, put on her pj's and dropped on her bed.
The next thing she hears is her roommate shouting and shaking her. "get up for crying out loud, your fucking alarm has been going off for half an hour!
" Half an hour? HALF AN HOUR!!!!” Panic set in, it's 5 to 9 and a good run across campus. She grabbed her notebook, cell phone, and still in her pj's, ran across campus. She wasn't going to make it, so she called hoping to stall him.
"Mr. S?" , damn she forgot he hates that! "Ahndi I am leaving now, you have missed your time. Good luck in your new life."
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN! "please I still have one minute, I'll be there."
"my watch shows two after, you have no time." He said cutly.
" i just can't fail out, just can't. I will do whatever you want just for another chance, anything, I don't care what, anything at all." She heard him hesitate, please let him change his mind.
"Ahndi, when people say anything they usually mean what is convienient, but not totally anything. If I say jump in front of bus, you do it?"
At this point she was totally desperate. "yes, ok but I won't need the grade then."
"Heh!" he snickered. She was getting there. "I tell you something, I have left campus but I have residence very near, close to loud, obnoxious fraternaties. You go to my house and I give you extra credit and tutor for next test. it take you 10 minutes get there."
YES!!! what the fuck what's the worst the old man can ask, write I will learn German 1000 times? She hurried over to the house, an old gothic looking thing, kind of run down, with a nice Mercedes in front. Well he's not a bum, obviously. Just as she got near the door, it opened.
"you can be prompt, when you wish. Hopefully you will make good on your word." He said.
Yes! she was gonna pass, she was gonna pass!
"I see you dressed for the occaision" he said,glancing disdainfully at my pj's.
Yikes, she forgot..well....she had on a strappy loose top and loose pj bottoms. Well it might be a long evening, at least she would be comfortable. As he led her inside she saw the house was sparsely decorated, one large leather sofa a few chairs, no TV no entertainment center, boring in a word.
"Now you will do anything I ask, that is correct?" he said. "sure no problem, as long as I get the material to pass."
"Of that you can be sure, but I may have a different technic at my home than at school. Come along to my study." As he led her down the hall she glanced in what must have been his bedroom, just a basic bed but over it a large stunning picture of a nude woman. She stopped for a second to look and he quickly moved over and shut the door. "that is my private room thank you."
