Loading ...Should I pay OR Should I not pay??? Read!?

I had a funny encounter today, and I am asking for your opinion on which way to handle the situation.
A few months ago, I went to see a Spanish tutor at her apartment for what I intended an hour long session. Despite the fact that I had to wait around for 30 minutes watching her cook and eat during our scheduled appointment time, I took her to a nearby Chile's to have our tutoring session there.
Right away I felt it was a waste of my time. I am paying the student teacher/tutor at my university /hour and she kept giving me SOO many stupid examples of every single topic….to make make me stay longer = make her pay more.
SO, when it was over and hour and a HALF later, we didn't really get very far and I told her that maybe in two weeks I may see her again. I paid her and told her I would give her the .50 next time.
I never talked to her again. It was a waste of money.
Then, I saw her today on the bus. She smiled and said "hi" and asked how Spanish was going. Then she wiped the smile off her face and rudely said, "Oh, and you know you owe me ." Shocked, I acted retarded and said I forgot (I play dumb well though) and she says, "well, you know you are going to pay me right?" (nodding her head with a brief smirk).
I got PISSED off!! I'm like, and your a student teacher!! It was like a threat. I replied seemingly sincere, "Well how should I give you the money?" She states bluntly, "I don't know" and shrugs her shoulders.
When she finally gets of the f'ng bus, she turns and smiles saying bye to me. Of course she would because she wants her money!
What would you do?!?!?!
Thanks a bunch!
No, we both had drinks at Chile's and the staff let us have them free. I figure I might as well pay (I don't know her full address though, the apartment number) but since she is a "student teacher" at a huge university, I don't want this to become some huge case if she brings the school into it.
Why do we have to ride the same bus!!!!!!
Thank yall!!

I'd remind her of the 30 minutes she spent cooking and eating before she got to your lesson. I think that pays for itself.

if you would go to her house then you should know her address. send her a letter with $15 inside and tell her: "here's what i owe you and a tip. thanx for reminding me of it. I totally forgot about it just like i've forgotten all the nonscence you would "teach" me. or maybe i didnt forget and just ignored the fact that i owed and thought maybe you wouldnt mind just like when i wouldnt mind when i had to wait 30 minutes for you to cook and eat." lol. be mean like she was. but pay her anyways.. i dont think its much money anyways. it would be bad if you would've ended up owing her much more money.. maybe $30 would be worth considering the pay. by the way.. when you took her to chile's, did you pay for her lunch too?? lol. i hope not! cuz if you did then add that in the letter. lol or just dont pay her if you want but ur risking it to see her someday again. specially if you live close to her. why go through the same humiliation again? its not worth it if you plan to play dumb again. lol.
