You and Mason were rivals, academic rivals. Ever since he joined he was the smartest, which bothered you to the core.

lets bet something, If I get the highest grade on the test, I get money, and the same thing goes to you if you win, deal?

he asks in class, grinning

I don't have money, plus it's obvious you're prepared so no either way.

you respond knowing he'd beat you anyways

Have fun with me, if I win instead then. If you know what i mean.

he says with a wider grin
