Tia.

This time it was Tia, she confidently skipped up to the board awaiting for the next problem. "Oh, professor can we up the ante a bit here?"

"What do mean?" I queried as I wrote down another problem to solve.

"If I get this question right, how about you lose the towel all together?"

My face fumed, "I will not agree to that! Just write an answer to prove to me how smart you girls are! Goodness sake, aren't all of you in college to improve your intellect for your own career opportunities? Just answer the damn question!" I huffed.

Tia frowned but didn't appear to be upset in the slightest. She wrote down her answer.

"My apologies Tia, but that is not the correct answer." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Aw, I could have sworn I got it right." Tia pouted as she returned to her seat.

"Keep your promise everyone. Next week I want you all back here for another hour of studying, understood?" A collection of nods gave me confirmation. "Good." I smiled as I erased Tia's answer from the board to put in the correct answer. A hand went up from crowd as I was finished writing. It was Bridget.
