Tovah walked into class the last night and sat in her usual seat. Knowing Zach wasn’t going to be there, she felt none of the tension or anxiousness that came with sitting in his class. It had been an unusual semester to say the least.

The Zach who lectured wasn’t the same one she knew as her neighbor. The professor in him was professional, closed off, secretive. The neighbor was open, caring, fun.

One thing that hadn’t changed: his fan club had not abated. If anything, they had gotten stronger and bolder as the days wound down to this final class.

The ringleader, Eloisa, wore a very revealing dress to class, and sat directly across from the podium, artfully arranging herself for maximum exposure.

Tovah smiled to herself at the waste of effort. Zach had repeatedly rebuffed the young woman and hadn’t bothered to tell the class he wasn’t even going to be there to administer the exam. Tragic. Not to mention highly amusing.

Tovah busied herself by getting out a pencil and separate eraser. Studying had been more of a review of the material. She had a pretty good handle on the subject.

The TA entered the room. She was the one who had come in to speak with Zach on another occasion.

A collective gasp went through the adoring masses. The women all turned to each other and started whispering.

“If I can have your attention, please?” The TA waited until the room had quieted. “Dr. Quinn asked me to administer your examination this evening. The test is divided up into three parts.” She held up a copy. “The first fifty questions are matching. The second fifty are multiple choice.” She flipped to the last page. “The last part is an essay question, which can be answered on the front and back of the paper. Any questions?”

The blonde who sat to Eloisa’s right raised her hand.

“Yes?”

“Where is he? Why wouldn’t he bother showing up for the last class? I’m of a mind to ask for a refund.”

Victoria looked shocked by the question and vehemence of the attack. “Well, first of all, I don’t know where he is as he doesn’t run his itinerary through me. Secondly, there is nothing in the code of conduct for professors that they have to be here for the administration of exams. Most of the professors on campus will turn over such a task to their TAs. Thirdly, if you think the university will release any funds this late in the semester because a professor didn’t show for the exam, but said exam was offered at the time and date stated on the syllabus, then you are welcome to see the bursar during regular business hours.”

“How dare⁠—”

Victoria cut her off by looking around the room. “Any other questions?”

The cut was beautiful to witness.

“Rude little bitch,” came the mumble from the center of the circle.

Oh, Zach was going to hear about that. Tovah doubted that he would appreciate his TA being called names because he didn’t show up to class.

“The rude little bitch who is holding the tests,” came the clap back.
