Megan shot a quick look at Nash, debating whether or not to speak up, but ultimately kept her mouth shut. The Woods family was not to be messed with, and Tyler seemed like a much safer bet.
“Tyler, have you finished your work? You’re just sitting there fidgeting. If I catch you cheating, you’re in deep trouble.” Megan stepped down from the podium, slowly closing in on Tyler.
In her haste, she accidentally brushed against Fiona’s arm, causing the desk to jolt and Fiona to snap awake. Her sleepy eyes darted to the intruder—who dared to interrupt her nap?
Fiona's gaze turned icy, clearly irritated by the disturbance. The whole class knew Megan had just poked the bear. Fiona, when riled, was not someone to underestimate. “Good luck, Ms. Megan,” they thought, silently sympathizing with her.
“Do you need something?” Fiona asked coolly, barely bothering to lift her eyelids.
“Focus on your exam! Sleeping during a test, what kind of example does that set?” Megan’s voice wavered under Fiona’s gaze. Yet, she had to uphold her authority as a teacher, or who would respect her?
“And so?” Fiona replied, her words dripping with defiance as she stretched out lazily, leaning back with an air of rebellion.
“What kind of attitude is that?” Megan had never seen such blatant disrespect in all her years of teaching. Fiona didn’t act like the young lady she was supposed to be. And her outfit—jeans and a vest—might have been a bit stylish, but what was the point?
“What a bunch of brats!” Megan muttered, turning back towards the podium. But the next second, she found herself stumbling forward, unable to move.
Nash had stuck out his leg, causing her to trip. If it had been a dirt floor, she would’ve had an even harder fall. Some students sighed, disappointed they hadn’t witnessed a more dramatic spill, but this was entertaining enough.
“You... you’re all too much!” Megan shouted, eyes wide with frustration and helplessness.
