To discuss the exam.

"So, what did you want, Miss Hastings?" I asked.

"Not here," she said, shaking her head, and gesturing for me to go into the office.

I did, and she followed me. She then closed the door, and I thought I heard her lock it. As I dismissed that, I noticed neither of us was talking. I decided to change that.

"So, what did you want, Miss Hastings?" I asked again.

"I wanted to talk about your final exam," she replied.

"OK," I said. "What did I get?"

"That remains to be seen," she said.

"You mean you haven't graded them yet?!" I asked. "The class is almost over! I'm sure they all want t know how they did!"

"Oh, I graded those papers!" she said, laughing and returning my gesture toward the classroom. "But I wanted to give you a special final exam just for you."

"OK," I said. "Let me go get my pencil."

I started for the door, but she stopped me.

"No need," she said. "This is an oral exam. Now, drop those pants."
