Jake's POV

I was completely wrong!!!

I checked my grades for my current class, and I have a B+ !!! You've got to be kidding me!! It was a single assignment/project. And I did it correctly why!!! Why'd I get a B minus?!?! I should talk to the professor as soon as class ends. Ugh but I hate taking to them!!

*the bell rings*

I walk up to her desk. "Hi miss I wanted to ask about the assignment from last week?"

"Oh yes what about it, Jake?" She asked looking straight at me.

"Uhm I wanted to ask what I did wrong since I got a B minus on it? I just wanted to see my mistakes....... if it's possible."

"Oh yea, well there wasn't anything wrong in particular but it didn't really have what I asked. You see I wanted to see your guys' reasoning and your beliefs or theories."

I only nodded.

"In your work you would only give me an answer and show evidence but none of it was really yours, does that make sense? I wanted to see each of your theories, not the correct answers. You got a B minus because you were correct but you didn't understand the purpose of that assignment."

Are you kidding me? Why now? Why so close to the report card?!!

"Ms. Im sorry but I don't really understand. I gave my answers and those are what I believe are correct. That evidence was my reasoning." My voice........ I sound so........... desperate.

"Well that's how it works in other cases but this assignment was purely for me to see new ideas even if they were wrong I wanted to see convincing strategies.

Plus......"

Here it comes, they always say this.....

"You have nothing to worry about you're passing the class just fine. No need to worry, you're one of the best students too!"

I knew it...... they never say anything other than that.

"Yea... Okay Ms. I understand now. Thank you and sorry for interrupting your own time." I bow multiple times and turn to walk off.

I really felt like crying now..... it's not fine. Why'd it have to be now?!

I continued to walk until I felt someone beside me, it's Sunghoon.

He soon started talking all of a sudden, "I heard your talk with the professor. You don't have to worry really, a lot of us are failing that class. You have a B, you've got nothing to worry ab-"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! I don't want to hear it again! You have no business listening to a conversation that isn't yours! Who are you to tell me what and what not to worry about, huh?!?! I DONT NEED TO HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE LIKE YOU!!" I suddenly bursted. I was through with it!!! Why does everyone tell me the same thing!!

"From someone like me? What's that even supposed to mean?!" Sunghoon shot back after he scoffed.

"You know what it means!! All of a sudden you show and your the smarter person on campus ranking number one!!!! And you're telling me not to worry!!!! Why don't you just mind your own business?!?!" I was so annoyed and drained. I let it all out on him.

Just as I was about to storm off, I saw our friend group looking at the two of us along with a couple of other students. THEY SAW EVERYTHING.......

That was the last straw I finally stormed off ignoring the calls of my name. I went to the bathroom as soon as possible. I felt really heavy I felt like I was drowning. Why? Why does it feel like this? What is this?
