Again, she starts heading towards the slightly-opened door, and again, you try to stop her. “Not so fast,” you tell her, holding up a hand with the palm facing in her direction. “Whaddya mean, not so fast?”, she asks. “What makes you think you can say that to me?”
“You’re right,” you admit. “What I mean isn’t to slow you down… I meant to say we’re not going in there at all.” She gives you a stern look. “Since when do you get to decide that? I’m in charge here,” she says. “What makes you more in charge then me?”, you push. “You already admitted you’ve never done this before.”
Defeated by the truth, she shakes her head, looking to the floor. “True. What’s your idea?”, she asks. You hadn’t expected her to say that, so you think for a few seconds, before deciding on the perfect option. “Neither of us have any way of knowing what the people in that room have to offer me. However, we both know what each other is capable of. I’ve had my taste of the people at the top and I like it. I want you to make me the first entry in your Advanced Program, and set me aside for so called authority figures only. I want the T&A of T&S… Teachers & Secretaries. Got it?”
Her turn to think, before she looks up at you, and says, “On 1 condition. I made contact with that student body and I liked it. So if I let you free to the rest of the teachers, you have to come back periodically to me, for a refresher course. Deal?”
