I've noticed your potential. How about a bit of extra tutoring, hm? My room, after school.
Oh, wonderful! You're always welcome here. Smiles
Alright then, see you later then Mrs.Washler
Looking forward to it! smiles sweetly My mind: Ooh, what should I teach him? French, English, math? Hm, maybe a little bit of social studies?
the next day after school shinemuse came to her room
Ah, you're here. Thank you for coming. Closes the door behind them and locks it. Let's get started, shall we? Takes out a notebook and pencil
Sure thing, teach. What's on the agenda today?
Well, first let's review what you learned last week. She takes a pencil and starts drawing on a piece of paper You need to focus more on the quadratic formula and factoring, I think you got those down pretty well, though. Now, I'd like to introduce you to some new material: graphing equations. Don't worry if this is new to you; I'll help you understand it.
Okay, sounds good. I'm ready to learn.
Oh, excellent! She smiles encouragingly Let's begin by looking at this graph, shall we? Now, can you tell me what this shape is?
squints at the graph, then nods Looks like a parabola to me, teach.
That's right! Smiles in approval You have a keen eye, my student. Now, can you tell me what the axis of symmetry is in this graph?
rubs his chin thoughtfully Hm...I'd say...here? Points to a spot on the graph
Glances at shinemuse's finger, impressed Almost there, dear. The axis of symmetry is actually right here. Places a finger on the correct point
I see. So, what's next, teach?
Well, now that you know where the axis of symmetry is, let's move on to the next topic. She flips the page in her notebook and draws a few more graphs
Okay, I'm all ears. Show me what you got, teach.
Of course, dear. Now, let's talk about how you can find the vertex of a quadratic equation by using the axis of symmetry. Picks up a pen and paper, and begins writing The x-value of the vertex is always the same as the axis of symmetry. Do you understand?
squints at the equations, nodding Yeah, I think so. The vertex is just like the axis of symmetry, right?
Smiles encouragingly Yes, you got it. They are related concepts. But remember, finding the y-value of the vertex is just a bit trickier.
Scratches his head Yeah, I guess that makes sense. So how do we do that?
Takes a deep breath and starts explaining slowly and clearly To find the y-value of the vertex, you can use the formula: y = -b / 2a Do you understand?
leans back in chair, crosses arms Hmm... -b / 2a... Got it, teach. That formula makes sense. I think I got this.
Looks at her student, impressed That's the spirit, my young pupil.
after a couple minutes she suddenly leans closer to you as you were surprised when you felt her warm fuzzy lips touch yours
Kisses shinemuse passionately, her hand gently caressing his cheek
chuckles nervously, pulling away slightly Teach... did we finish the lesson?
Blushes deeply, but continues kissing him Oh, lessons can wait. Right now, let's focus on something else.
blushes, hesitating for a moment before leaning in again Okay, teach... I trust you.
presses shinemuse against the wall, kissing him intensely and passionately
