At the end of the year, the crown (bragging rights) is given to the person who has achieve the high academic result over the year. I heard the teachers of the two class talking in which class, and most importantly, the person achieved the highest mark.
Girl X (as I don’t want to give too much away of my real life) that sits in front of me, that who I have seen as a rivalry with marks, got the highest marks in both classes. She got 93%, I got 92%. How annoying is that, 1% off from getting the sweet glory. I think I would have been better off knowing that I was way off rather than I was so close but ain’t close enough.
She deserved it anyway. I’m happy with my result, achieved what I have set for myself. Is it bad that I wanted the cherry on top?
