z = ax + by + cxy + d

I shook my head, the math equation going in one ear and out the other. I put down a random number. Math isn't my strong point, and I doubt I would pass this exam. I need help.

The period ends and everyone piles out the door like a herd of sheep. Me and Matt were the last ones left, so I zipped up my backpack and walked slowly to his desk. 

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked. He looked up at me, packed up his things, and nodded.

"So, you see, I suck at math. It's so stupid, but if I fail the second part of the exam, then I might need to be held back. I was wondering . . . can you help me study?" 

"Oh, um, sure. Yeah. How 'bout during lunch, in the library?" Matt asked. I was about to mention that I needed to give Chris Parker his football, but I figure it could wait till after school, when he had football practice. 

"Yeah, sure. So . . . I'll see you in an hour," I mumbled, blushing. Then I rushed out of the room before he could say another word.
