The Exchange Student

PROLOGUE

The day was friday, and the college council had taken the day off all together over a big business proposal… Due to the College high end student demographic it wasn't a weird thing to see big enterprises interested in advertising a product to soon to be graduate adults, see potential employees etcetera… but it was a domestic robot developer company? How would they even advertise that inside?

The college council, consisting of the principal and two elder teachers, sat expectantly in the teachers lounge, the sound of the clock ticking away as they simply waited for the other party to arrive with their representative… Some looks were exchanged between the trio, silently asking where the guy they had sent.

Outside, an expensive limo parked in the entrance of the campus, and as soon as they had arrived, 3 men walked out of the doors wearing black suits with the words "BabeTec written on the right side of their suit in a delicate pink font… Arriving at the teacher's lounge almost disappointed as to how pathetic the meeting room was.

The three men looked at each other for a second before the taller one in the middle adjusted his throat. "We are representatives of BabeTec Electronics?" The man spoke with a clear french accent.

"Yes, we've been expecting you guys Said the principal leaning into his seat with a raised eyebrow "Tough traffic?" He asked with disinterest, before signaling the men with a hand gesture for them to sit down.

The men obliged, clear discomfort on them "Oh no, BabeTec is a french multinational company. It was difficult to send a representative to begin with" he refuted, dusting his suit with his fingers "Shall we begin?"

One of the teachers sighed and nodded "Yes please. Why in hell would a robot manufacturer be interested in doing advertising in a learning center?"

The representative on the left end of the table leaned in with a raised finger "We are an android manufacturer" He corrected "And what we are doing can be classified as advertising… just not disclosed as such."

The faces of the teachers became confused "What does that mean? Sir? if you may…"

The main representative swallowed saliva before breathing out "BabeTec is to release a new top of the line companion android in the following year or so…" The man placed and opened his briefcase on the table, presenting some papers to the teachers for their eyes only, making them even more confused as the robot was… wearing a student outfit? "The unit is finished, we just need a market, and BabeTec is thinking on creating one-"

The principal interrupted "So that's in? some flyers? some company presentations and discounts for after the students graduate?"

The representatives looked at each other after he spoke, elongated seconds of silence as they just cracked up in laughter at the word 'discount' making the trio of teachers high ups more uncomfortable "Excuse us… No. We want to enroll one of our units as a student so in her perfectly programmed seduction protocols she can have relationships with your male (or female) student count so they buy our product after they become independent due to nostalgic buying"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"You have to be joking, right?" One of the older women spoke for the first time "This paper says the unit is a sexbot. You want us to allow a sexbot into our campus?"

"Yes" The man simply responded with a beaming smile, placing his arms on the table and holding them together.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"And why would we allow this?" The principal broke the silence again.

The representative clicked his tongue, went inside his suitcase once again and looked around again for yet another piece of paper "If our company's private investigator is right anddddd…" He rolls the sound of the word as he pulls out the piece of paper and presents it to them, containing a lot of graphics and names of teachers and their pay, but before they could ask about these he continued "...this is your monthly employee payroll…" He raised an eyebrow and closed in the paper for them to read and give confirmation.

"Well- Yes, it is but…" The principal said, scratching his beard as he closed in to read the paper, but he was quickly interrupted again.

"Then it is our pleasure to announce that we would be able to pay the employees, if the details of this negotiation is kept under wraps and as a simple promotional stunt with no external telling… and taking into consideration the potential sales in the future generated by this deal… approximately 10 times this amount monthly ipso facto."

The room fell quiet, the faces of the college council falling into slight surprise before exchanging glances for yet another moment… Yet the Principal's did not change, maintaining eye contact with the representative for 20 long exhausting seconds before he breathed in with his nose and let loose, standing up from his seat, leavin the pair of teachers following his movements as he walked slowly to the representatives.

He stood there, at the right end of the table looking down at the man, indirectly telling him to stand up… which he did with some backsided glances to his colleagues. The principal, in an astounding null expression extended his hand for a hand shake, breaking this expression for one of extreme joy. The representative looked down at the hand, then at the principal, and smirked, taking the hand and shaking it

"You got yourself a deal."
