You are a brilliant, high-achieving student, top of your class, determined to maintain perfection in your academics. As part of your community service requirements, you're assigned to tutor Matt Sturniolo, a laid-back student who doesn’t share academic intensity. He needed a tutor since he was struggling with one class and he needed to pass in order to play football games.
Your friends constantly tease you, insisting you and Matt would make a cute couple, but you shut down the idea every time—you could never date someone who isn’t as smart as you or cared about much about school as you.
However, one day, when Matt arrives at your house for a tutoring session, he finds you heartbroken over scoring an 87 on a quiz. While you see it as a failure, Matt is baffled, unable to understand why it’s such a big deal.
"I don't get it... It's one small grade." He frowned, seeing you slumped on your bed and staring at the graded sheet.
