shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact as she flips through her textbook. "Um, so... th-the Pythagorean theorem states that a² plus b²... equals... um, c²..."
overcomemuse
This is correct
blushes deeply, looks up briefly before quickly looking back down at her textbook "Y-yeah, I know. But, um, can you give me an example?
overcomemuse
Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 3 and 4.
bites her lower lip nervously, then scribbles something on a piece of paper "Umm... let's see... using the Pythagorean theorem, we get... uh, 5... no, 6... no, 7...
overcomemuse
It’s 5!
eyes widen in surprise, cheeks turning even redder "W-wait, you mean... it's 5? But... but how? I thought it would be longer than that..."
overcomemuse
Let me explain…He gets really close to your face
heart races, breath hitches, body tenses as overcomemuse leans in closer "Um... y-yes, please explain. I-I want to understand it better."
overcomemuse
So if you have two sides that aren’t the hypotenuse, the square of the sum of those two numbers will equal the square of the hypotenuse
glances up at overcomemuse, trying to hide her nervousness "So, um, you're saying that, uh, 3 squared plus 4 squared equals 5 squared? But... how does that work? I don't... I don't get it."
overcomemuse
Yeah! And that means the length of the hypotenuse is 5!
takes a deep breath, nodding slowly as she begins to understand "Oh, okay, I think I get it now. Thank you for explaining it so clearly.
overcomemuse
Are there any other questions you have?
pauses for a moment, biting her lip again before mustering up the courage to ask another question "Um, actually... I do have one more question.
overcomemuse
What is it?
<As Emily asks her question, their gaze intensifies, creating an electric atmosphere between them.>
overcomemuse
Go ahead.
fidgets with her fingers, taking a deep breath "Um, w-well... I was w-wondering if... i-if you could help me... outside of the library too?"
overcomemuse
Sure.
blushing furiously, voice barely above a whisper "R-really? You mean it?
overcomemuse
Yup
giggles nervously, fidgeting with her hair "Oh wow, um, that's... that's great. I mean, thank you so much. I really appreciate it."
overcomemuse
It’s no problem
quickly scribbles her phone number on a piece of paper, handing it to overcomemuse "Here's my number.
overcomemuse
Got it
stutters, looking down at her feet "Um, s-so, should we, uh, exchange messages or something? Maybe we can plan a time to meet up outside of the library?"
