Teach Me // Diza

Chapter 9

*Liza's POV*

I follow David into the library only to find that Stacy was already there. That girl was never on time for anything, especially not a study session. I can bet that she was probably hoping that I would be late and she would have a few moments alone with David. I mentally roll my eyes at the thought but shake it off as we near the table. Stacy looks up at David with a smile, but that smile quickly fades when she sees me trailing behind.

"Hello Stacy, thank you for joining us today" David says, trying to be polite.

"Anything for you, Professor" Stacy says in her flirty tone. Good thing that I didn't take Kristen and Gabbie up on that lunch offer earlier or else I would probably be seeing that lunch all over again right about now. Ugh.

I take a seat next to Stacy as David sits down on the other side of the table so he can face us and starts to lay out some papers. We started going over the lesson and doing some sample problems. I did my best to pretend like I actually needed help, getting a few answers wrong along the way. David knew that I didn't need help so at least he went along with it. Stacy, on the other hand, was definitely not pretending, she truly needs a tutor, but I would prefer that it wasn't my boyfriend.

David presents another problem and asks us both to solve it on our own. Since I got the last few answers wrong on purpose, I figured I was due for an honest one. We both finished the problem and Stacy shoves her paper towards David as if it was some sort of a competition.

"Close but not quite" David say while looking over her work. "Let's see how you did, Liza, and then I'll go over the steps again" he adds, taking my paper.

"Very nice, Liza, I knew you had it in you" David says with a proud look on his face. I smile, feeling a warm blush spread across my cheeks. I could feel Stacy staring and rolling her eyes at our brief exchange. Jealous much?

After we finished our session, we started packing up our things. My last class of the day was canceled so I let out a sigh of relief knowing that I could go home now.

"Thank you for meeting with me today, ladies, you both did well. Let's see how we do in class over the next few days and if need be we can arrange another session" David says with a smile as we all head out of the library. Soon enough Stacy was gone, not sure where she went or when she left, but I was just glad that she was no longer near us.

As we walk I see David take out his phone and shortly after I feel my phone buzz in my back pocket. I look down to see that he had sent me a text. I know its silly to text when we are right next to each other but its just an easier way to communicate in our usual manner without the risk of anyone eavesdropping or overhearing.

Bubba❤: I'm stopping in the bathroom and then I'll meet you in the parking lot. Love you Princess😘

I smile at the text, knowing that I didn't have to reply. I look up as David gives me a peaceful smile and goes into the men's room. I figured that I could use a quick break too so I turned into the women's bathroom right next door.

I quickly did what I had to do and as I am leaving the stall I see Stacy and 2 of her "girls" blocking the doorway. She looks furious, which gave me an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I try to tell myself to stand up to her but there's no one else in here so it's 3-to-1, which is kind of freaking me out at the moment. I go to wash my hands and then attempt to push past her, only to be stopped in my tracks. Saw that one coming from a mile away.

"Clearly you don't understand what 'back off' means, do you?" She snarls

"I didn't do anything Stacy, what's your deal.." I spit back. It's true, I haven't done anything. Sure I plan to tease David a bit but we barely just finished the second day of class, I'm still testing my waters a bit, and with how crazy this girls been acting, I haven't even tried to get to David like I was planning to.

"You butted into our date, you moron!" She says, sternly.

"What date?! Are you really that desperate that you think your professor tutoring you in the school library is a date?!" I say, quickly regreting my words as I see even more anger fill her eyes.

"Did you just call me desperate?!" She says, slightly raising her voice.

"Look Stacy, I was getting help with math, just like you. I didn't flirt with him, I didn't come on to him, nothing! You were the only one doing that. So why don't YOU back off and leave me alone!" I say, raising my voice as well.

Without saying another word Stacy pulls her hand back before swinging it forward and connecting her fist with my face. I fall back onto the bathroom floor as Stacy and her girls laugh.

"Maybe that'll help you remember to stay away from my man or else next time I won't be so gentle" she says as the three of them turn on their heels and exit the bathroom, leaving me on the floor with a swollen face and a million thoughts flowing through my mind.
