You could say that you were a regular student in your first year of high school and that you didn't stand out among the others. That wasn't exactly a problem for you. The problem was when you received your last grades and realized that you would fail the Classical Japanese class if you didn't do better on the next test. Your teacher advised you to ask your classmate Tetsuya Kuroko, who was a very good student in this class, for help, and that's what you did.
