Chapter 401 Submitting Homework

Chapter 401 Submitting Homework
"Thank you for reminding me, Eric," Rize said with a smile on her face and sat on her desk. "Everyone, come here one by one and place your homework book on the table."
"Eric, you asshole! Why did you have to remind her!" Someone from the class yelled.
"Language!" Someone named Steve remarked.
Everyone in the class had begun talking with each other. Some had finished the homework, but most hadn't. Rize had given too much homework, but if the students had started working on it on Saturday, they would have finished within five hours like Eric did.
"Ma'am, you gave too much homework."
"Yeah, ma'am. It was humanly impossible to do it in three days."
"Even if you sat for 2 hours a day, you would have easily completed it. Stop making excuses and bring your book here!"
"Ma'am, I have only done half. I need more time."
"Same, ma'am."
"Me too."
'Shut up, you bitches! If she gives me more time, I will have to wait for more days!' Rudy yelled inwardly.
"No. No one is getting more time. If you have completed half of it, you can stay in the school after the teaching hours end and complete the homework. Whatever happens, I want it done by today. Now, I won't say for the fourth time. Bring your books here."
'Ah… this is the scary Rize I knew… so beautiful….'
Alice shot a glance at Rudy and shook her head in disbelief.
'I don't understand what he likes about her. Yeah, she is beautiful and all but… she is always so… bitchy…' Alice uttered inwardly.
One by one, all the students began handing out the homework book.
There were 69 students in the class, but only 30 of them had submitted the book. 20 of them needed some time to complete it, and 15 of them required more than some time to complete it. But it was doable by the end of school hours.
Two of the remaining four were absent, and one said he had forgotten his book at home. Rize asked him to submit it today, so the student was asked to go home and bring the book from home once the study hours had ended.
The remaining one student was obviously Rudy.
"Rudy, where is your book?" Rize asked.
"I… forgot."
"You forgot the book?"
"No. I forgot to do the homework."
"Not even a word?"
"Nope. It's blank."
Rize's face twitched from all the sides as she glared at Rudy.
"Alright. What's your excuse for not doing it?" she asked calmly, completely different from her facial expression.
"I just said it. I totally forgot that you gave us homework," he stated with a straight face.
Rize took a deep breath and said, "I want it done by today. Once the study hours end, go to the library and finish it."
"Okay, ma'am. But… there is a problem."
"What problem? Did you forget to bring the homework book too?"
"No. For some reason, I cannot focus on the library. I need a closed room, if possible," he uttered in a neutral tone.
"Fine. You can come to my office once the study hours end. But whatever happens, I want it done by today."
"Of course."
Rudy smirked at Alice from the corner of his lips and said, "Did you see my acting?"
"Does that mean I will have to go home alone?" she asked with a gloomy face.
"Well… you can wait for me, but I wouldn't suggest that." He handed a note to Alice while saying, "I can teleport you home if you truly want to go home with me. But I can't walk you home. Sorry. But it's only for today."
"No, it's fine. I had to stop by a stationary store on my way, so I guess I will just walk my way home," Alice responded.
She opened the note to read what was inside, only to see a doodle of breasts.
"..."
The study hours ended, and the time had finally arrived. While the other students went to the library to do the homework, Rudy made his way to Rize's office.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
He knocked on the door, but no one replied, so he slowly opened the door to find it empty.
"Is she in the staffroom?" he wondered.
Rudy closed the door, but it had no lock. None of the rooms in the school had a locking mechanism for obvious reasons.
Rudy sat on the couch in a relaxed manner and took out his phone.
'I have already done the homework, so I don't have to worry about anything. Let's just hope that Rize comes here soon so I can make some moves on her. Otherwise, there would be no meaning in me doing all this, and my plan will fail miserably.'
DING!
Rudy received a message from Maria that said: [I just reached home. What about you? If you are sleepy and this message woke you up, feel free to slap me the next time we meet.]
"Heh!"
Rudy scoffed after reading that and replied to Maria with: [Yes, I was sleeping, and your message woke me up.]
[I am so sorry!] she responded with an 'exclamation' mark at the end.
[Now, you will have to take responsibility.]
[Yes. You can slap me when we meet again.]
[No. That won't do. I want something else.]
[What?]
[Let me spank you.]
[What?!]
[That was a joke, relax.] A few seconds later, Rudy sent: [But I do want something from you.]
[And that is?]
[What if we finish what we were going to do before your brother interrupted us?]
[You mean the kiss?]
[Yeah.]
Maria typed for a few seconds, which eventually turned into a minute.
"What is she typing all this time? Must be a long message," Rudy muttered.
A few more seconds later. Maria sent: [Ok.]
"..."
Rudy's ear twitched as he heard footsteps approaching Rize's office.
[Okay, I will talk to you later. Have to sleep.]
[Yeah, me too. Good night.]
The office door opened, and Rize walked in.
"Yo, Rize. You are late."
"Call me, Miss Rize. We are not the same age, and I am your teacher. Stop treating me like a friend," she said in a disdainful tone.
"So harsh." Rudy touched his lips and said, "Even though we shared an amazing kiss."
Rudy expected Rize's face to flush after hearing that, but instead, he got a frowned face.
"I know you are going out with Alice."
'Uh oh. It seems that my plan had failed even before I made it.'
