Summary
“Did you do the work or not?”
Ilya almost said he wanted to do something (someone) else, but he decided against it. “...No, sir,” he told him instead.
The flush that crept across Shane’s cheeks at those simple words, slight as it was, proved to be far more interesting than any of the lectures he sat through for this class. Ilya committed it to memory.
“You know you’re getting a zero, right?” He didn’t miss how Shane stumbled over the first word of his sentence, the way his jaw twitched. “Do better.”
“But how else will I get your attention?”
Shane’s mumbled reply—you’re an asshole—before he moved onto the students on the other side of the room, made Ilya resolve to make him mad for the rest of the term.
...
or: Ilya Rozanov's coasted through college until now, his third year, when he meets the strictest teaching assistant with the prettiest freckles.

he just hopes he never catches on to the fact that Ilya's doing worse on purpose.
