I sat there staring at the piece of paper in front of me in utter disbelief.
I got a big fat F written at the bottom of it. My dismay turned to anger and I crumpled the paper in my hands and dropped it on the floor next to my desk.
The lecture had already been dismissed and many of the students had left the room already. I stood up, swung my bag over my shoulder and made for the door with a contemptuous look at the professor standing at the front backing several books into a briefcase.
"I got an F!" I snarled at Alissa as we both dropped into our seats in the cafeteria.
"How?" She asked. "You've had the top grade in that class for nearly the whole year. Now you get an F?"
I shook head. "I don't know, I just have no idea."
"Look, I'm sure it will be okay," she took her hand in mine and rubbed my arm gently. "Don't worry. The next paper will be fine."
"He has it in for me, I'm sure of it. All because I called him out on a mistake he made a few weeks ago."
"Are you sure. Maybe we should go to the headmaster with this."
"There's no point, he won't believe me. And plus I screwed the paper up and chucked it on the floor as I left."
Alissa snorted with laughter. "Way to stick it to them."
"Yeah, real smart April," I said to myself and shook my head again.
Alissa smiled at me. "I've got an idea I think."
"Really, you with an idea. I don't think this is the time." I said.
"Just trust me, you'll have the paper back with a resounding A. Just meet me after class in the hallway."
My last lecture of the day was with a small frumpy woman who was trying to teach us about the components of cells and how they connected to the world around them. I understood it, but the boring, monotonous tone of her voice almost sent me to sleep. My brain kept flashing back to that F on my paper. I had never failed anything in my life, least of all biology, and yet somehow this nightmare was becoming real.
Alissa was stood in the hallway just outside my class just as sure as she had said she would be. We hugged, she pecked me on the cheek with a quick kiss then took my hand in hers.
"Come on, follow me. I've got something that will cheer you up."
"Unless it's you ravaging me all night I don't think much could." I grinned.
"Wow, that's what your thinking about?" She gripped my hand tighter. "I've got something better."
"What could be better?" I raised a hand and squeezed her left boob causing her to giggle.
"Just wait, you'll see. We're gonna get you that A."
She led me through the school back down the hallways to Mr Vargas's class. Alissa peeked in through the window before clicking the door open.
"Wait what are we doing?" I tugged her arm forcing her to stop going inside. "Why are we here?"
"Just watch," Alissa grinned wickedly and led me into the classroom.
Mr Vargas was tall and slim. He wasn't bad looking or anything he just wasn't a usual type I would go for, which is good really as the distraction was unnecessary in his classes. He was stood at the front of the room just as I had left him packing books into his briefcase after another class had been dismissed. He turned when he saw us and smiled.
"Hey," he said. "April, Alissa. What do I owe the pleasure?"
"We want to know why you gave April here an F on her paper!" Alissa snapped at him and came to a halt a few meters away.
The professor looked taken aback and flustered. He fumbled with his books and dropped one on the floor with a thud.
"I," he began but Alissa cut him off.
"Is it because you want to fuck her?" She said.
"Wow," I said suddenly feeling my heart racing in my chest. "I think you're way off base Alissa, let's go!"
"Am I?" She said turning to me. "Am I off base professor?"
"Of course. How dare you insinuate such a claim," his shocked expression turned into clenched fists and a deep Frown.
"Then why the F?" Alissa said.
"Her paper wasn't good enough, it was mediocre at best and warranted a poor grade."
Alissa shook her head. "There's something else going on here," she said and took a step forwards.
"I assure you there isn't, now get out." He pointed at the door.
"Look," Alissa purred this time and stepped even closer to him causing him to take a nervous gulp. "How might my friend here improve her grade. Got any extracurricular activities she could participate in?"
"I'm sorry," he sighed. "There's nothing."
"Nothing at all," Alissa smiled at him and twirled a lock of hair around her finger.
The professor shook his head and pointed at the door. "Out!"
"Fine, your loss loser!" Alissa snapped and turned gripping my arm as she went.
They got halfway to the door when he called out after them. "Wait."
We both stopped. Alissa winked at me and turned. "Yes professor?"
"I want you both, that's the deal."
"Hmm," I said. "For both of us that would require A grades for the rest of the year. Without submissions."
The professor gulped again and looked from Alissa to me, eyeing us up intently. There was silence for a few seconds then he nodded.
"How do we know that you are gonna keep your word?" Alissa said and led me back towards the center of the room. "We will have to record it. All of it."
"What, no way!" He protested.
"No video, no pussy!" Alissa giggled. She was clearly thrilled by situation.
The professor rolled his eyes. "Fine. But if it gets out not only will my career be ruined but your studentship."
"We understand sir," I said and pulled Alissa close. "You are such a slut!"
"I know," she whispered back and giggled.
