Amity POV (Amity is writing in her diary while sitting alone in the crowded cafiteria)
"Getting my tests back seems to be the only thing I enjoy anymore, because I must admit. I know that i'm naturally smart, but i'm not natural at anything else, I'm terrible at making friends, my family life sucks, I hate the way I look, and i'm so so fucking lonely. But when I see that wonderful, perfect A+ on my paper, all those insucurities magically disappear, even if its only for a second. So instead of focusing on the fact that I hate every other part of myself. I can think about how I've placed in top of my class for the past 2 years or that I could pontentially go to a really, really prestigious college.... but that only takes me so far, at the end of the day. I still wish I had those types of relationships that have nothing to do with grades....."

I wanted to write more, but at that moment the bell rang, so I put my diary away in my bag and walked to my my next class, AP Calculus. The moment I sat down, I could tell that my teacher, Miss Leviett, was absoulutly pissed at our class...."Shit" I thought to myself "We took that unit test a few days ago....oh my god...what if I failed??" Moments later I eliminated that worry from my head. "even if everyone else failed, I didn't." Miss Leviett somberly walked to the front of the classroom at said

"59.... that was your classes average for this test...." She was silent for a moment, as everyone in the class was silently panicking, hoping that they soared above that average. She continued and said "What happened with you guys?? Did you just not understand the material, if that was the case then you should've told me, instead of staring at the board and prentending to know the material when you don't. You guys should learn how to effectively take in the material, and advocate for yourselves. And if you guys didn't study... thats your own fault and in that case, you deserve your grade. There will be absoulutly no retakes or makeups or second chances, because these grades are nobodies fault, but yours. I am highly dissapointed in you guys...." I looked around and I saw some kids were on the verge of tears. But I was still calm and confident that I passed. She then took the tests and started passing back them back to the students. As I saw the looks of disappointment and relief on the other kids faces, I got more and more nervous. Then Miss Leviett slowly walked up to me and said in an annoyed voice.... "you did good, considering that other people failed...but this most likely won't fit your standards." She handed it back to me. When I saw that grade. I almost fainted at the sight of it.... C-

I wanted to cry, I wanted to angerly bang my fist on the desk, I wanted to rip the test up into a million pieces and scream, "fuck this" as I storm out of the classroom in a huff. But I couldn't, not in front of others. I still had to keep up that persona of being intelligent yet calm. So I stared blankly for a minute until I casually stuffed the test in my bag hoping it was only a bad dream or I would just forget about it. Just then I heard Miss Leviett say "I also wanted to congratulate Luz, who was the only student who actually got an A+ on this test."

Everyone glanced over to Luz's desk for a minute and we all noticed that she was proud of herself, but at the same time tried to stay humble about it. Ever since Luz transfered to Hexside Academy right in the middle of junior year. I've always been slightly intrigued by her, but also jealous of her. She seemed to have it all. Even though shes only been here for a couple of months, shes already has a close group of friends, gotten teachers attention from getting amazing grades, and she seems like an overall happy and kind person. How does she do it, while getting perfect grades??

Somehow I was able to contain my emotions throughout the 65 minute class and afterwards I immediately went to the bathroom and as soon as I got into the stall, I burst into tears....fuck if don't have my grades, what else do I have... I don't even care if my mom yells at me. Nobody will be more dissapointed in me then myself. I just wanted to completely dissapper and forget about this grade, in fact forget about grades in general, and instead just live for the people in my life.... oh wait, I don't have anyone in my life, or at least anyone that seems to care for my wellbeing.

After about 10 minutes of crying, I walked out of the stall. I saw mascara dripping from my red, puffy eyes and my green hair completely tangled. As I was trying to adjust my appearence in the mirror. I heard someone say "Hey, don't worry about that stupid test, you'll get em next time." I looked over and saw Luz standing right next me, with a bright smile on her face. I looked down and said to her coldly. "Of course your telling me not to worry..." She looked a little guilty for a second until she replied. "Hey, us AP kids have to stick together... anyways, I'm Luz, whats your name?" She reached out to shake my hand, as a I glared at it for a minute. I quickly shock my hand and said "Amity." "Amity" Luz said to herself "thats such a pretty name, i'm pretty sure that Amity means friendship in French and Latin. So I guess were meant to be friends right??" For some reason my stomach dropped when she said friends. I don't know why thought. I guess I found her happiness and enthusiasm annoying."I really don't consider us, friends, more like classmates."

She didn't take my rude comment to heart and instead said "well, of course were not best friends yet, since we just met, but i'm sure we'll be great friends in the future, since I kinda like to befriend everybody. I wish I could stay and talk to you, but i've gotta go to Painting Class. But I'll talk to you later byee." I quietly waved back at the overally happy girl as I contiued to wipe my tears.
