There's the other thing to consider: Like you said, while he's a teacher, Loren Blake has authority over Zoey. Teachers set grades. They give letters of recommendation. They give honors and awards. All of those things affect a person's future. A good letter of recommendation and grade from a teacher can get scholarships or jobs. We see that in this world, vampires have the potential to go REALLY high in the world.
Now, let's say that the student is making that teacher very happy. Oh yeah, a teacher could be in a relationship with a student and still grade them fairly, but how does that look? The cliche about the student only getting a passing grade because they're blowing the teacher exists for a reason, you know. No matter how fair the teacher is, there still will be people who see the relationship as a reason that any honors the student gets aren't 100% awarded on merit. Even if no actual repercussions come from it, no one looks kindly on that sort of thing.
Yes, Blake technically isn't one of Zoey's teachers. But still, he's in a position of authority over her. It would still cause the same accusations and have the same implications. And Zoey doesn't see any of that. At all. She just treats it like it's a silly rule that of COURSE doesn't apply to her, because she's above rules (so not kidding there).
"Well, then I won't look forward to that bit, but I will look forward to seeing you tear it to shreds. ;)"
