A college girl had been \u201cvery close\u201d with her male teacher all semester\u2026 always staying after class, getting \u201cextra help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her friends kept teasing her,<\/p>\n
\u201cGirl, you\u2019re definitely getting an A!\u201d<\/p>\n
Final results day comes\u2026<\/p>\n
She storms into his office, furious.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is THIS?!\u201d she shouts, waving her paper.<\/p>\n
He adjusts his glasses calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s your grade.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cC?! After everything I did for you?!\u201d she snaps.<\/p>\n
He leans back, sighs, and says,<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stares at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly WHAT?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou came to my office twenty-seven times.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou asked me to explain every chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stayed after class for hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou emailed me at midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd every single time I told you the same thing\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He pauses.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudy harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
She crosses her arms.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought all that extra attention meant you were going to help me get an A!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI did help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?! I got a C!\u201d<\/p>\n
He calmly picked up her exam.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou answered only 42% of the questions correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n
She blinked.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I came to every study session!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI took notes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked questions!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI even brought you coffee!\u201d<\/p>\n
He nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I appreciated the coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why didn’t I get an A?\u201d<\/p>\n
He smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause this is college, not customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her mouth dropped open.<\/p>\n
Her friends, who had been waiting outside the office, suddenly burst into laughter.<\/p>\n
She turned around.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou guys!\u201d<\/p>\n
One of them yelled,<\/p>\n
\u201cWe told you! You can’t flirt your way through calculus!\u201d<\/p>\n
The professor cleared his throat.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, she’s not taking calculus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s taking history.\u201d<\/p>\n
The room went silent.<\/p>\n
The girl slowly looked at her exam again.<\/p>\n
At the top of the page, she noticed something she hadn’t seen before.<\/p>\n
