OCC: This is a story about a college guy and one of his professors. i apologize for the long intro, i hope developing the story will pay off later. this was an idea i had for a story, i'd like to see where it can go. any feedback on this idea would also be appreciated...
main characters:
mark (story told from his eyes)- a naive 18 year old, member in a fraternity, college is his first time away from home, very smart, decent looks, 5'8, sleek athletic build from high school sports, somewhat quiet, is taking professor littenger's class in roman history
prof. (mary) littenger- a 45 year old classics professor pushing for tenure, married, but very busy with teaching and organizing classes- she doesn't spend much time w/her husband, 5'4, 115, brown hair with a gray streak, glasses
other characters:
lance- president of mark's fraternity, dispatches mark on his assignment to talk to prof. littenger
candie- mark's teaching assistant for professor littenger's classics class... 25 years old, 5'6, 175 lbs, brown hair, single

Gosh I love when it's warm out. It's nice when you can just throw on a t-shirt and sandals when you run out to class. there's so much more you can do, when your only option is no longer cramming into a sweaty, overcrowded campus bar. i've been finding myself walking to class more often, i haven't decided if it's for the weather or the girls wearing less and less as summer approaches. but heading to the physics lab during midterms, the weather and girls are the farthest things on my mind.
the workload around this time of year usually picks up, and it sucks when you've got extracurricular responsibilities to worry about. i happen to be in a fraternity, and i'm supposed to meet el presidente, lance, for lunch once my lab is over.
lab flew by pretty quickly, a few girls in tight white tank tops held my attention for a majority of the time, as they always do. hell, if it weren't for them, i'd be asleep every day. i trekked to the sandwich shop where lance was waiting with a few papers.
"got something for you to cover, mark. we need to get a faculty advisor. a professor that can come by and give some study skills presentations, shit like that. having a professor helping out will make us look really good to university officials and campus in general," lance said. he was always looking for ways to make our fraternity better. "i've gotten some recommendations, and it looks like the top prospect is professor littenger, a classics professor. she's only an associate professor, so she should have the time to devote to whatever we would need her to do. here's her info, stop by her office hours and see if she would be interested."
"oh i know professor littenger- i'm in her roman civ class. she seems nice enough," i said.
"she hot?"
"she's alright... more than anything, she's really hyper- she's kind of a spaz when she teaches. pacing around during lecture and stuff, but yeah i guess i'd do her."
"sweet then! you've got some motivation going in to talk to her for me. hey, don't forget- there's more than one way to get an A," said lance.
taking to my task, i walked to her office and knocked, as the door was closed. i heard a slash of papers, a supressed cuss word, followed by a frantic "just a minute!" waiting patiently, my teaching assistant for my roman civ class, candie, passed behind me, nodding and smiling at me when we made eye contact. she headed into an office just down across the hall from professor littenger's office.
the door to professor littenger's office opened with a loud whoosh, and she stood before me.
"hi! i'm sorry to keep you waiting... the knock startled me and i spilled some papers... please, sit! you're in my 1 o'clock lecture, right? candie's section? what's up, how can i help??"
i chuckled to myself. this woman was definitely a spaz... but a much more pleasant sight than some of my other female professors.
i introduced myself, and as we made small talk, the discussion drifted to the roman civ course, and the many sexual exploits that emperors and others high in the Roman imperial court enjoyed during the empire.
"even the women? but i thought it meant death for a woman to commit adultery under the Roman law?" i questioned.
"women were sometimes the worst ones," said professor littenger. "with emperors being so busy, their wives would have to do something to keep themselves busy in that regard. i can understand where they would be coming from..."
just then, her voice trailed off...
