Tell your teacher she is wrong!! (If you dare)
You can have the following with a y
Pay pays or paying.

I would have said that the past tense and past participle of pay would be paid, and Chambers agrees, but Merriam-Webster -- http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/pay -- includes payed as 'to slacken (as a rope) and allow to run out -- used with out'.
So you can spell it both ways but they mean different things.

"Paid" is the only correct spelling of the word.

To pay can be to caulk the seams of a wooden ship with tar. So the seams are Payed.
