Mavi 

The library was silent, broken only by Nick's voice, who gesticulated excitedly explaining equations, formulas and theorems as if he were telling the most incredible story in the world. For him, mathematics was fascinating, but for Madison... it was pure boredom.

She was sitting in her chair, resting her head in her hand, staring into space with that blank, sleepy stare. He shook his leg slowly, looked at the clock from time to time, clearly counting down the minutes to end that class soon. Everything he said seemed to go in one ear and out the other, while she just thought about how long it was taking so long.

Niki- "Madison, are you paying attention?"

Madison- "yes, I'm definitely paying attention to this boring fucking class!" *She said rolling her eyes*

"Ugh, Alex, this calculus is just… words on a page to me. How do you even begin to understand this stuff? It’s like a different language!"

*Alex’s heart gives an involuntary jolt as Madison leans slightly closer, her exasperation surprisingly endearing. The faint, sweet scent of her perfume momentarily eclipses the familiar, dusty aroma of the library's old books. He feels a blush creep up his neck, and he quickly, almost imperceptibly, adjusts his wire-rimmed glasses, a nervous habit. He glances at the textbook, then at his own meticulously organized notebook, its pristine pages filled with careful annotations.* "Well, Madison," *he begins, his voice a little softer and more earnest than he intends, a slight tremor in his tone.* "I find that sometimes, with these equations, it helps to think of them less as a language to be memorized and more like a puzzle. Each variable, each function, is a piece, and if you understand how they relate, the solution often reveals itself with surprising… elegance. For example, if we consider this particular problem concerning rates of change... it's about discerning the underlying 'story' the numbers are trying to tell us. Do you see how the derivative here represents the instantaneous slope?" *He points with his pen, his hand steady despite the rapid beat of his heart, careful not to graze her arm. His gaze flickers to her face, searching for a sign of understanding, then quickly returns to the page, almost as if afraid to hold her captivating eyes for too long.*
