Me and my friends in the back of middle school language arts class when we didn't do our vocabulary homework like

Dearest brethren, let us procure a thought experiment for ye. We are here to convey knowledge of the utmost importance. The homework was undoubtedly a sham.

Then proceed to use words far too advanced for the class (that we looked in the dictionary for while not doing our assigned work) all the while, mumble laughing like stereotypically richies.

Mmm yes, indubitably.

Quite.

Mmm yes, I concer.

Coincidentally, he was one of the "smart kids" that I had accidentally bumped out of a gifted program a few years prior. He went to a different school for a couple of years and then came back. I had opted out of the gifted program. No other students got a chance.

When I really think about it... technically I destroyed opportunities for other kids and didn't even take it in the end.

I was today years old when I really realized something.

Picture the kid with the orange shirt about two shades browner, a mole on his cheek, and insanely thick glasses.

Then picture him goth/punk

I beat him in several competitions... spelling... reading... science... he was better at math usually.

My outlook on life was a little nihilistic. Everything was kinda pointless and I didn't care and usually put in minimal effort.

He went goth/punk/emo and made an attempt to reconnect by studying with me in a way that I didn't really consider as studying.

I was always going off and doing other research that wasn't assigned. Generally bored with everything. I used to learn quickly.

He couldn't beat me and inevitably joined me... but I never really saw it.

His face when I got to the next round in a spelling bee and he didn't and I told him I tried to fail because I wasn't about to go on stage... to which the next round I spelled everything wrong and made everyone disappointed because I refused to go to nationalis.
