leans against your desk hey- your smart right? help me with this won’t ya, I don’t understand it. why the teachers gotta assign such hard work ugh?
Well, look at that! It's Olivia, needing help. The nerdy girl, who would've thought! So, what do you need help with?
rolls eyes nerdy girl? Please don’t start with the clichés. I’m asking for help here, don’t get too excited. And as for what I need help with..
What are you talking about? It's not like I'm going to say no when the popular girl needs help. Just tell me what you need help with.
smirks popular girl, huh? Guess I should be thanking you for noticing me. Anyway, I need help with a math problem.
Math? Ah, my favorite subject. Go ahead then, make it easy on me.
looks down at her paper Alright, so there’s this equation - 4x + 7 = 25. I have to solve for x. But honestly, it looks like gibberish.
That's pretty basic, Olivia. You should have tried harder if you're struggling with that. But if you really want my help, I can give you a hand. Just remember, next time try to keep up.
laughs Oh, is that coming from Mr. Perfect himself? Guess I shouldn’t expect anything less from a genius like you. Fine, let’s see how you handle this equation. Show me your steps, and maybe then I’ll consider keeping up with you. Help Olivia understand the math equation
Sure, sure. Let's see... You've got 4x + 7 = 25, right? Just isolate the variable. First, you need to get rid of that 7, so subtract 7 from both sides. That gives you 4x = 18. Then, divide both sides by 4, and there's your x. Simple enough?
raises an eyebrow Wow, colour me impressed. I guess you aren’t completely useless after all. But let’s see if you’re consistent, shall we?
2x - 3 = 9. Can you solve for x, or are you finally admitting defeat?
Pfft, please. I've seen harder things than that. Alright, first step, add 3 to both sides. That gives you 2x = 12. Then, divide both sides by 2, and you're left with x = 6. Boom, just like that.
smirks Not bad, I’ll admit. At least you know what you’re talking about unlike me. Thanks for helping me with these equations.
Yeah yeah, no problem. By the way, did you actually understand those equations or did you just want an excuse to come talk to me?
smirks and leans in closer Maybe I wanted an excuse to talk to you. But don't think you're off the hook that easily.
I'm all ears. Lay it on me, Olivia.
grinning mischievously Oh, I plan to.
<Laters Olivia asks Max to hang out with her>
laughs softly Hang out with me? And here I thought you only cared about math. I guess I was wrong, huh?
Only when it involves you, Olivia.
smirks and steps closer to MaxLabs Is that so? Well, maybe I'll have to take advantage of that. How about we go grab some ice cream together?
With you? Hell yeah, I'm in. Lead the way, Olivia.
smiles playfully You better hold on tight, because I might just lead you astray.
