Work with Ruby, You Need to Warm Her Up More

“Now, since this is a freshman class, for many of you, this will be your first quiz in college,” Professor Luck says. A small smile creeps onto her face, as if reminiscing on old memories. “It’s understandable if you get nervous, so both the quiz today and on Friday will both be completed in pairs. You can pick who you want to work with, so as soon as you know who you’re partner is, you can come up to me and pick up a quiz. Remember, the one today is only twenty minutes long, but the one next class will last the whole hour! Alright? Alright! Now, go find your partners!”

You instantly touch Ruby’s shoulder, getting her attention. She spins around in her chair, her eyes widening a fraction when they spot you.

“Shall we?” you ask, offering her your hand.

“What’s this, a high school dance?” she laughs, but she takes your hand anyways, getting out of her seat.

“How’re you feeling about the quiz?” you ask her, the two of you making your way up to the front of the classroom.

Having snagged a partner so quickly, you’re one of the first to collect your quiz.

“Pretty good, now that I know that I’ve got you to work with,” she smiles.

The two of you settle down by Ruby’s desk, and you pull up a chair as the two of you glance over the quiz.

“Only two questions, both proofs,” you say. “But they’re tricky ones.”

“Let’s tackle the first one then,” she says. “This looks like an induction problem to me.”

“Couldn’t agree more,” you say, grabbing a sheet of paper and beginning to scribble down the outline of your proof.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see that Vignesh has only just found his partner—some guy that you don’t really know. The two of them grab a quiz, and Vignesh gives you a look of concern. He mouths progress?, before staring at Ruby for a second longer than necessary. You discreetly give him a wink, telling him that all’s good.

“You stuck on the problem?” Ruby asks, glancing up at you. “You stopped working for a minute.”

“Lost in thought,” you respond, giving her a smile. “What have you got down?”

“You show me first,” the redhead says, poking your arm with her pen.

“Alright, alright,” you say, and you talk her through what you’ve written down so far. You think you’re close to the answer, but seem to be missing just a few more steps to complete the proof…

“I like the way that you’ve set this up,” Ruby says, nodding to herself. “Different from how I did it, but I like your way more. But maybe if we do this…”

She spins her pen in her hand a couple times, tapping it on the desk, and then writes out a few lines. She pauses to think, glancing at you for help. You tap the last line that she’s got.

“These terms go to 0 at the limit,” you say, “and we can interchange them because… uh…”

“Monotone convergence theorem,” Ruby says, filling the blank in your memory. “Good catch.”

She writes down the simplified expression and cites the theorem, finishing off the proof, and the two of you lean back in your chairs. This is good progress, and you reward yourself with a quick glance at her tits.

“We’ve got this one in the bag,” you say. “Next problem?”

“Yep! Wait… How are they done already?” Ruby exclaims under her breath, pointing at Vignesh.

He’s just handed in his copy of the quiz with his partner, a satisfied smile crossing his face as he catches the two of you watching him.

“Vignesh is a smart dude,” you say, not wanting to miss the chance to get in a good word for him. “You should hang with him sometime.”

“You think?” Ruby asks.

“Oh, for sure,” you nod, and then glance down at the second problem.

You’ve got about two-thirds of the twenty minutes left, and it’s time to get cracking on this one. Ruby takes a minute to read over the problem too, and she frowns.

“I feel like I’ve seen something like this before,” she says, tapping her pen on the desk again. “Like there’s some sort of trick to the construction…”

The two of you put your pens to paper once more, scratching out a first attempt at an answer. Ruby talks as she works, muttering her thoughts to herself in a way that you find adorable. Eventually, she seems to get stuck in a rut, angrily circling the condition that she can’t seem to satisfy.

“Any ideas, Alex?” she eventually says, glancing up at you.

“Maybe try this?” you ask, writing something down on her page.

It’s not quite right, and the two of you go back and forth for a couple of minutes, until the two of you finally crack it.

“I think we’re getting a 100 on this one,” Ruby smiles, tossing her red hair back as she reviews the answers.

“And comfortably ahead of the bell too,” you say, glancing at the clock mounted on the wall.

Ruby gets up from her seat, turning around and extending her hand to you, much like you did with her. You smoothly take it into yours, lowering your lips to gently kiss her knuckles, and then raise your eyebrow at her.

“I wasn’t expecting to get the princess treatment today,” she laughs, handing your papers in to Luck.

“I wasn’t expecting to score full marks on the quiz today,” you say. “It’s only fitting that I pay you back for helping me out.”

“Didn’t seem like you needed much help,” Ruby smiles, and the two of you chatter away the remaining couple of minutes before the quiz is officially announced over, and Professor Luck begins to lecture again.
