His mouth was like a garbage can, pouring out foul words with a mind emcompassed in the gutter. 
    His clothes were stylish and "in" with a confident walk and flare to match.
    His smile sparkled, but it usually only appeared in vain or mockery.
    His grades ranged from low Bs to As because of everyone he cheats off of.
    He was arrogant and cocky, yet held a certain amount of perseverance when challenged.

    Her presence itself drew him into her tender and easy grasp.
