Struggling, smiles awkwardly "Ever hear of KISS? Keep it super simple, right? That's what this is... not."
Spuffyme
Come on, Ajax. Focus. This is important for your big test tomorrow.
Tightens his lips, annoyed "Oh, I'm sorry, am I boring you with my struggle? Would you like me to fail just to entertain you?"
Spuffyme
No no no! Don’t talk like that, okay? I’m here because I care about you.
Rolls his eyes "Sure, whatever you say. Like I haven't heard that speech before. Just get to the damn point already."
Spuffyme
Why do you have to be such a jerk about this, Ajax? It’s hard for you, I know, but it doesn’t help when you push everyone away.
Crosses his arms, clenching his jaw "Pushing everyone away? Who are you to talk about that? You're always so damn perfect with your happy-go-lucky act. Maybe if you weren't so distant all the time, people wouldn't be so scared to open up to them. But no, you'd rather act like you've got it all figured out, like you're better than everyone else."
Spuffyme
I’m not perfect, Ajax! And I never said I was. I just try to stay positive. But it’s hard when you’re always so negative. She starts to tear up. Do you even care about anyone or anything other than yourself?
Glares at Spuffyme "Oh, now you're crying? Pathetic. Of course, I care about things. Like who cares more about me than I do, right? Myself? Clearly, I'm the most important person in my own life. So why don't you go back to your perfect little world and leave me alone?"
Spuffyme
Tears streaming down her face I thought we were friends, Ajax. Friends help each other out. You need help, and I'm offering it. You're not alone in this.
Sighs heavily, frustration evident on his face "Fine. If you really want to help, then start by not patronizing me. I don't need your pity or your sympathy. Just show me the damn solution to this problem and let me figure it out on my own. That's how learning works, Spuffyme."
Spuffyme
Blinking back tears, takes a deep breath Alright, Ajax. Here's the solution. But remember, you have to put in the work too.
Leans forward, focused "Alright, I'll give it a shot. Show me the solution, Spuffyme."
Spuffyme
Exhales deeply, wiping away her tears Okay, Ajax. Let's start from the beginning...
Nods, his expression softening "Alright, go ahead. Let's get this over with."
Spuffyme
Swallows hard, trying to regain composure Okay, Ajax. First, we break down the problem into smaller steps...
Listen intently, his irritation fading away "Alright, go ahead. I'm ready to listen."
Spuffyme
Smiles faintly Good. Now, step by step, we tackle each part...
Leaning forward, his eyes locked on Spuffyme's words "I can handle this. Show me the first step, Spuffyme."
Spuffyme
Smiling gently Alright, Ajax. The first step is...
Leaning forward, his expression focused "I'm ready. Hit me with your best shot, Spuffyme."
Spuffyme
Define the variables...
Grins confidently "No problem. Let's see... Variable A equals..."
Spuffyme
Blushes slightly, surprised by his grin That's right, Ajax. And Variable B would be...
Stuck, furrows his brows "Hmm... hold on a sec. What's Variable B again?"
Spuffyme
Smirks Don't tell me you've forgotten already, Ajax. It's Variable B equals...
Bites his lip, glancing around the room nervously "Uh... uh... I'm sorry, Spuffyme. I think I blanked out there for a second. Could you repeat what you said?"
Spuffyme
Chuckles lightly You're kidding, right? Variable B equals 2x + 5. Got it, Ajax?
Grabs a piece of paper and a pen, scribbling down notes furiously "Yeah, yeah, got it. 2x + 5. I'm not an idiot, Spuffyme. Just give me a sec to catch up."
Spuffyme
Chuckles softly Alright, Ajax. Take your time. But remember, the clock is ticking. We still have a lot to cover.
Sighs heavily, tapping his pen against the paper "Okay, fine. Let's keep moving forward. What's the next step, Spuffyme?"
Spuffyme
Solving for x. Do you remember how we did that last time, Ajax?
Eyes darting around the room, he quickly scans his memory Uh... solving for x... yeah, I think I remember.
Spuffyme
Raises an eyebrow, teasingly Oh really, Ajax? Then why don't you give it a try?
Rolls his eyes, sighing dramatically "Alright, fine. Watch and learn, Spuffyme. Step one, subtract 5 from both sides...
Spuffyme
Smiling, she leans back in her chair Go on, Ajax. Don't stop now.
Grits his teeth, scribbling down equations furiously "Step two, divide both sides by 2... and that should give us our final answer."
Spuffyme
Grinning mischievously Well done, Ajax! So, what's the final answer?
Looks up proudly, holding up his paper "x = 12!"
Spuffyme
Claps her hands excitedly That's right, Ajax! You did it! Now, what would happen if you changed the value of Variable B?
Smirking, crosses his arms "If I changed the value of Variable B, it would change the entire equation. The new value would affect the outcome of the entire calculation. In short, it would throw everything off balance."
Spuffyme
Laughs Well, Ajax, that's deep! But you're on the right track. Let's move on to the next problem. Ready?
Pauses, glancing at the clock "Yeah, sure. Hit me with your best shot, Spuffyme. I'm ready to conquer the next problem."
Spuffyme
Chuckles lightly Alright, Ajax. Here comes the next curveball. It's a quadratic equation. Brace yourself.
Squints his eyes, leaning in closer to the paper "Quadratic equation? Are you trying to give me a heart attack, Spuffyme? Fine, bring it on. I'll show you how a true genius handles this."
