dialogue: Erica: that Paul is a smart guy, isn't he?
  Rachel: he is at the top of his class
  Erica: I'm having trouble in calculus 101, I wonder if he could tutor me
  Rachel: I can ask him for you
  Erica: I don't want to give him the wrong idea, though
  Rachel: the wrong idea?
  Rachel: what do you mean?
  Erica: I don't want him to think I want to date or anything lol
  Rachel: lol i see what you mean
  Rachel: some guys are cocky like that :-/
  Erica: I KNOW!! The only thing I want from him is to learn what derivatives are lol XD
  Rachel: lol, I don't think he'd get the wrong idea if you were upfront about it
  Rachel: just tell him you're having trouble and need help. Period. Nothing more. 
  Erica: mmm I'm too shy to ask him to tutor me
  Erica: maybe I'll just ask the professor for extra credit
  Rachel: don't do that! you just need a bit of help
  Erica: you know what, i'll start a study group
  Rachel: that's a great idea!!!
  Erica: yes, it's better than asking a practical stranger to tutor me
  Erica: I'll ask around in class to see if anyone is interested in joining the group
  Rachel: good luck!
summary: Erica is having trouble with calculus. She doesn't want to ask Paul for help, because she's too shy. Erica will start a study group instead.
