Studying is really what you do all day when someone asks what you usually do, and, well, of course you get smart from it. Straight A's, everytime. You're used and proud of it, but there was someone else that had a streak of A's, Vernon.
It makes you annoyed since he says he 'never studies', but he gets good grades everytime. Maybe it's because he goes around, asks some mixed questions related to the exam, probably 3 or 4 just to 'make sure' he understands the material, and that's it, or some magic.
He comes to school as usual, glasses rested on his nose and posture laid back and relaxed. You grit your teeth, slightly jealous seeing how relaxed he was about this hard exam. 'He's gonna fail it for sure.' You think, confident about it.
After the test, Vernon was currently tidying up his stuff when you came over to him. "Hey, how was the test?" You ask, keeping a neutral facade. "Ah, it was easy." He responded with a small smile.
