Chapter 12

Tony

I’m sitting at my breakfast table, grading exams while sipping coffee. I’ll probably spend the entire Saturday on the task but I’m in no hurry to finish it. I have no other plans for the weekend, except perhaps some yard work. From experience, I don’t expect any brilliant essays, especially not from a two-hour midterm. I’m thankful as long as students are able to regurgitate my lectures using relatively coherent sentences.

When I see the name Anna White on the cover of the next exam, my blood rushes south. The memory of what we did to each other yesterday rushes back like a wave, completely destroying my calm. I put her exam at the bottom of the stack because I didn’t want to be distracted too soon. But now I can’t avoid it.

The girl isn’t just a temptation. She’s a drug. I’ve always been proud of my integrity and professionalism over the years of teaching—I never crossed the line before I met Anna. With her, it’s like something in me just snaps and I can seem to have control over myself.

Damn. Four more weeks to face the little vixen.

I take a big gulp of coffee before I read the first line she wrote. Anna’s answers to the first few questions are nearly perfect, showing her effort in studying for the exam. I’m pleased with the fact. The last essay starts with clear uncertainty. I can see the erased sentences underneath the new lines. And there is a huge question mark within the indent showing her frustration. The first two sentences are mindless ramblings. “There are hundreds if not thousands of theories on war. Margaret Mead says war is a social invention while Sigmund Freud thinks the fear of death causes war,” she starts. “Most of them make a lot of sense to me…”

This is not good. It’s a sign she doesn’t have an opinion of her own. I sigh and go on reading. “Most of these theories only address the symptoms and do not explain the root of the problem. But if I have to pick one, I’ll go for Marx’s conflict theory. Many wars in human history started because of the need to compete for limited resources… It explains not only human behavior but wars among other species as well…”

I smile. Not bad. I read on, and after I finish, I read it again. Despite the slight incoherence in her argument, the girl has grasped the point that might be so obvious that many overlook. Most human behavior only requires a simple explanation, but unfortunately, we academics make everything so much complicated than it really is.

I don’t hesitate to mark an A on the cover of her bluebook. And unable to help myself, I comment: See? You didn’t need those antics to get what you wanted.

And then I sit where I am and think about our conversation about applying for tenure here at Sunnyvale. The truth is I was tempted by her deal, not because I was dying to claim her rear hole, but because of the prospect of having her in my class again in the future.
