Entering the Professor's canteen

I walked directly to the Professors canteen. I looked threw the door and saw Mrs Bauer, sitting alone, behind the windows looking outside, finished with her food.

I stood, beside the door, took out my cellphone and set an alarm for 12 minutes.

Ok, first I have to test that. I know, as a student I'm not allowed to eat in the Professor canteen. So, the first thing will be, to went to the bar and get a Donut or something. And, I have to make sure, everybody see's me. If that's not working, I could say, 'Sorry I got the wrong door'. I mean, I'm here since a few years and should know that. But, I think that's not such a big deal....just entering the Professors canteen, but eating in it, that's another thing.

And how would that be, her level is in the negative area, can I order her? I mean, what I saw, today, they were many students, with minus points, and every one did, what she said. So, that Professor title, should help me...I hoped?

So. I said out loud. "Angelika Bauer, Activate Role Change". I wasn't sure if it really works, when I'm just thinking it, so I said it out loud.

I didn't felt anything? I thought, maybe I felt something? But nothing. I looked into the room everything as always.

I opened the door and entered the room. Some were looking at me, but didn't say anything. Some were nodding at me, so I nodded back. Normally, minimum one of them would raise and ask me, if I need help or if I'm looking for someone. But they went on with their stuff as usual.

So I went, to the bar and there was one of the chiefs. "Hello Professor Watson, what can I serve you, today?"

My expression to her, must must be priceless. Standing there a few seconds, without saying anything. That was Mrs Billings, she was always so nice to us students. She had a heart of gold! We all liked her. And sometimes she brought us some sweets, from the Professor’s canteen.

"Professor Watson, is everything ok with you?"

No, no...sorry Mrs Billings. Everything is fine. It was just a long day, today. Can I just have a Donut please?"

"Oh, I can imagine that. To teach is not an easy job. Especially here with these high standards at the university. But Professor Watson, just a Donut, you need energy for teaching. Can't I make you a bit curious about our meal 2, today? The lasagna is a dream." She smiled.

I smiled back. "No, thank you Mrs Billings, I will go for a...swim later. And you know what they say, don't eat before swimming."

"Yes, you're right, these old rules are important today. Here is your Donut, Professor Watson."

"Thank you, Mrs Billings." I said and turned.

Holy cow, that's what I call a successful test! Ok, now I'm Professor Watson and over there is My student sitting in the Professors canteen.

I walked up to her. She was sitting there and looking out of the window.

I stood beside her and tapped with my feet.

Angelika Bauer

I walked into the canteen and was a bit exhausted. Of course not by the hours I had today. It was Ms Watson... I mean, I suggested this Role play. And I wanted to correct her. And I was sure, she needed help. Of course, she needed help. The first sentence was a catastrophe.

I walked up, to the bar. There was Mrs Billings, the good soul of the canteen. Always a smile and some nice words from her. She was a treasure in this canteen."

"Hello Professor Bauer, what can I do for you today?" She smiled at me. I felt a bit like at home.

"Mrs Billings, I told you, since my first day. Please call me Angelika." I smiled. This is a little thing we have, since I started here. She calls everyone with her title, no matter how often I or the others told her to do not.

"Professor Bauer, I told you, when you are here at this university. The title 'Professor' here means something. And even if the hell freezes, I will not stop, to bring you the respect that you deserve."

I laughed at her and she laughed back. We both smiled.

"Ok, Mrs Billings, I take the noodles in tomato sauce."

She rose up to me and said in a low voice. "The noodles are good, but the Lasagna today is a dream." She blinked at me.

"You know what, I choose the Lasagna, I changed my mind."

We both looked at us and laughed.

"Thank you, Mrs Billings."

"You're welcome." She smiled.

Normally, I sit to some other Professors. But today I need a bit time for myself to think. So I choose a table at the window and started eating. Mrs Billings was right, the Lasagna, was a dream!

What happened with Tanja, from one moment to the other, she was so...serious. That look, and her eyes and...that ice cold voice. I was so overwhelmed by her. To be honest, I didn't know, what to say? And that was so crazy. Normally I was in charge. Did I dived so deep in that role play thing? I mean, normally I'm not into that stuff. But that...was different. Deep inside, do I like stuff like that?

I kept thinking and eating. When I was finished, I sat there and looked out of the window.

I was deep in thought, when I heard some foot tapping.

I looked down, saw some shoes and looked up to see...Professor Watson? One of the strictest Professor here at our university. She looked down at me.

"Angelika, can you explain yourself?”

I looked upwards to her. "Oh, Mrs Watson....what should I explain?” I asked her confused.

She looked at me. With Mrs Watson everybody knows, you have to be careful. So I stood up as she told us.

(Angelika: +2) (SP: -36)

"Sorry, Professor Watson. What should I explain?" I asked her.

She looked around, tapping with her feet and shook her head. “Ok, let me remind you. Today, I scold you because of standing behind MY desk. I think you remember that?"

‘Wait...wasn't that, not just a role...play? But that couldn't be, she was my Professor and I'm her student. So it must have happened.’

"Y...Yes Mrs Watson, of course I remember that." I looked down at her.

"Good to know, we agree on that. I told you how respect less a behavior like that is?”

“Yes Mrs Watson, and I promised not to do that again.”

“That’s good to know, Angelika. But now you did something like that again. Changed into the clothes of a Professor, to came and eat in the Professor canteen."

I looked around and...shit I was in the Professor canteen. I looked at the table, there was a tablet...my tablet with the finished plate.

I felt my cheeks getting red. Why was I in the Professor canteen? I looked down on me and why would I wear such clothes? Just to grab some food? Ok, the food here is way better than in the student canteen, but that couldn't be the reason?

(Angelika: +2) (SP: -34)

"Mrs...Professor Watson, I don't...know?" I looked down at my High Heels. Why would I wear High Heels? I thought by myself? With this outfit, I really look, like a Professor?

Than she said, to me: "What is wrong with you, today Angelika. 2 incidents like that on one day? Do you get in your rebellious phase? You know, for that, we don't got place at this university."

(Angelika: +4) (SP: -30)

"I'm sorry, Professor Watson, that will not happen again! I promise!" I answered.

"Ok, but we have to do one thing! Come with me!" She looked at me with her stern eyes. Everybody at this university knows them. You should obey them! You should!!!

(Angelika: +3) (SP: -27)

"Of course Professor Watson." I grabbed my...suitcase? Why do I have a suitcase, instead of my bag? Ok, I got actually other problems, than thinking about that.

So I grabbed my...suitcase and turned. She stood there, with her eyes. Did I do something wrong?

She sighed and looked at me. "Angelika, do you think your plate, will be vanish by itself?"

I looked at the table. ‘Oh shit, my plate!’

(Angelika: +2) (SP: -25)

"Oh, of course not Professor Watson." I grabbed the plate and stood beside her.

She looked at me and said. "Ok, follow me, Angelika."

We walked into the bar direction, everybody was looking at me. Everybody heard, Mrs Watson was talking with me. As I walked towards the bar, I saw the looks, of the other Professors. Some of them didn't care, but some of them shake their heads.

We walked to the used dish edge, where I put the plate down. After that we walked to the bar, Mrs Billings, was there. She was always nice to us. Sometimes she brought us sweets from here.

Mrs Watson, stood in front of the bar and talked to Mrs Billings. I stood there with my head down, looking at my shoes.

"What do you think, Mrs Billings? I mean, she came and ate here at the Professors canteen. And, to be honest, she fooled you?"

She looked at me, I saw the warmth, in her eyes. "Professor Watson, don't we all had sometimes, this urge to rebel a bit. Come on, do you ever been so strict, as you are today? Everybody has a rebellious time." She smiled.

"Ok, ok...It's up to you, Mrs Billings, this is all your territory. So you can decide."

"A little sorry is everything I need." She said with her nice voice.

Mrs Watson turned and looked at me. "Little Lady, you are lucky, that Mrs Billings is such a wonderful person. In my case, I wouldn't be so generous. So, I want to hear an apology. And let it be a good one. 2 incidents in one day!" She looked at me, with her eyes.

With that, Mrs Watson phone made an alarm, she looked at it.

(Angelika: +6) (SP: -19)

"Mrs Billings, I apologize to you. My behavior was totally inappropriate today. I don't know, why I came into the Professors canteen and fooled you! That will never happen again. I'm really sorry!"

"Thank you, dear. We all got a bit rebel in us, don't we? But, don't let that happen again? Promised?"

I looked at her and smiled. "Promised, Mrs Billings!"

Mrs Watson talked to Mrs Billings. "You are way to kind, sometimes, you need to be strict with them."

"Yes, sometimes. This was the first time. That can happen." She is such a nice person! And I'm lucky, she was here today.

"Angelika, follow me out of the canteen!"

(Angelika: +1) (SP: -18)

"Yes, of course, Professor Watson."

With my head looking down, I left the canteen.

When we were out of the canteen, she looked at me and said.

"This will not happen again! I think I'm clear, in that point?"

(Angelika: +2) (SP: -16)

"Yes, Professor Watson, you are clear. That will not happen again." With that she left around the corner.

‘15 minutes are over’

I was looking around me. I was standing outside of the canteen. ‘Why do some students always behave so strange?’ I asked myself. ‘Eating at the Professor’s canteen. With that I shake my head and walked home.
