Claire and the Professor: A Medieval Romance

So, it's the day after midterms, and I'm sitting in my office grading papers.

I don't know what's going on with college students these days. It's all "good grades", "going pro", "I have to get an internship". I mean, fucking *what?* What happened to just *learning*?

Now, there was a time when kids went to college for one thing: Knowledge. Boys wanted to learn about philosophy, politics, and the sciences. Girls wanted to learn about French literature and how to play the harp.

But no - these kids are all about the money. They want that job at Google or whatever big company is hiring. They need that internship at Goldman Sachs or whatever.

It's a shame, really.

I finish up the last of my papers, when I hear a knock on the door. Huh? I didn't... I wasn't expecting anyone today. I get up and open the door.

"Professor Johns?" A girl who looks like she's barely old enough to be in college is standing there. She has long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a killer figure on her - she must work out every day! She's wearing a miniskirt that barely covers her ass and a low-cut top that shows off her ample cleavage. You can tell she wants attention - she wants everyone to see how hot she is and start drooling over her!

This must be one of those sorority girls who keeps trying to talk me into joining their club - whatever it is they do! They always seem so desperate to get me to join them. Well, guess I'll give them their chance... "Can I help you?"

And then she smiles at me! *Oh.* My *god.* She's beautiful! The best looking girl I've ever seen in person! Wait... why is she here? Her eyes drift down from my face to my shirt pocket, where my glasses are sitting... "Oh!" She exclaims as if something had just dawned on her. "You're Professor Johns!" *Oh.* Of course she knows who I am... "Um... yes," I stutter out between breaths as I stare at her breasts again. "What can I do for you?"

She walks past me into my office without answering! What? Where does this girl think she's going? Is she nuts?! Some student barging into an instructor's office unannounced?! Well... maybe not quite unheard of among this student body but still... it's usually never pretty when they do it!
