Matthew didn't notice the deep feelings of Lilith as he stood up and walked over to the brunette, Julie. She was busy chatting with her friends, and didn't notice him until he spoke up. "Hey Julie!"<br/><br/>She looked up at him and muttered, "Hey Matt."<br/><br/>Matt nervously asked her, "Can I talk to you for a minute....alone?"<br/><br/>Julie exchanged glances with her friends before stepping aside from them. "What Matt?"<br/><br/>Matt opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He wanted to ask her to the prom, but he couldn't find the courage needed to speak the words. With Julie staring straight at him, the pressure weighed a ton. He felt a drop of sweat trickle down his face. He knew he had to speak fast before he lost his chance.<br/><br/>Matt said the only words he could think of. "It's kind of like algebra, you know? We are two like terms. We both have the same coefficients and exponents. We could form a great binomial expression if we bonded. And I would love to be added to you at the senior prom."<br/><br/>Julie was taken aback. "You're asking me to prom?"<br/><br/>"Yes," Matt breathed.<br/><br/>"I'm already going with someone else," she said as she returned to her friends.<br/><br/>Matt sighed as he sat down beside Lilith. She seemed to be lost in a trance. "Penny for you thoughts," he said.
