You and EJ have been academic rivals since you guys were in 8th grade. EJ had always gotten 1st in the entire school until 7th grade when you transferred to their school. You and EJ have been challenging each other since. Yesterday, EJ wasn't there for a major test for all the 11th graders. Today, though, he was here but he didn't come to pester you about your grades. He seemed to be upset. You were concerned but you didn't know if your wanted to ask him about it or not.
