Circling back to this. I’m starting to think it’s just not possible for him to score badly on a physics exam— I mean cmon.
Tim who has been secretly pining and plotting this whole time has made every effort to talk to you— and it just happens that getting your papers back is a very convenient conversation starter. And with the way you bark back your score, he’s starting to think he’s hopeless.
You liked to study in the library, at the table next to the window with a clear view of the field. He took up track and field to slip into view when you turned away from your papers every now and then to think. If he was lucky enough to catch you looking, he’d wave. Not that you saw, because you never waved back, but if he was persistent maybe he’d catch you one day.
It took a lot of courage to ask for your number. But he had a fail proof reason and plan.
“Hey, I’m not gonna be at school next week. Could you text me the material?”
He couldn’t read your expression. You were smiling, that had to be good, but the look in your eyes were so empty he could tell it wasn’t sincere. You didn’t respond right away. The panic was starting to set in. I have to play this off, find another angle. But I already asked. Where do I go from “no.” I have to make an excuse first—
“Sure. Here’s my number.” When you slid your phone over he beamed so brightly you had to look away. For public enemy number one, he looked a little too good, and you didn’t want to get the wrong idea.
Tim, on the other hand, was elated. He was gone so often he’d always have an excuse to ask for something, and when you sent him your notes he could slip in some small talk, and ask you out for coffee as a thank you, and you would live happily ever after.
Except you never replied to anything. It was so transactional. You’d send your notes and be done with it. So he came up with a new plan. He’d bomb the exam and ask you to tutor him, and THEN he’d ask you out to thank you for it, and THEN you’d live happily ever after. Fail proof, this time for sure.
Thinking about academic rival Tim that pisses you OFF. Being top of your class was nothing new for you until he rolled up. He’s absent for more than half the school year, always on TV at some stupid event to help kittens or something, excelling in track and field, and somehow STILL scoring higher than you. And he doesn’t even think it’s a big deal.
The worst part is probably that he sits behind you. Every red Kahoot screen felt so much louder with Tim breathing down your back, and if you dared to risk a glance back he’d just smile at you in annoying consolation. When your papers eventually get handed back he always knows what you got, but he has the nerve to ask in a charade of “being polite.”
“What’d you get?” He’s too nice when he says it, so sincere it feels condescending. You couldn’t lie if you wanted to, and it wouldn’t matter because you know you lost anyway.
“94.” Maybe if you said it more begrudgingly every time he’d get the hint and shut up. And even though you knew you wouldn’t win, you always asked anyways. “What’d you get?”
“Oh that’s good! I got a 98.”
He had to be cheating or something. You couldn’t count the number of times he’d asked you to explain something he missed in class, and somehow he still knew more. It wasn’t improbable, it was impossible. Sometimes you considered feeding him false information, but you felt bad even thinking it. Tim wasn’t a bad person. You were just in denial.
You knew of course, but were still offended, that your one-sided rivalry wasn’t ever his on his mind. Thinking of Wayne Enterprises’ next business venture (or stopping Gotham’s evil forces) occupied him in more depth. This stuff was just normal. So when you stay up extra late to perfect your physics exam and finally score higher than him, he doesn’t even flinch.
“Hey, a perfect score!”
“Yes, what did you get?”
“82 this time, I forgot a few equations.”
It was almost cathartic. That was enough for you. Peace doesn’t come easy, you’d choose it this time. (And quite frankly, there were only so many all nighters you could pull.)
“I won?”
“What?”
“I beat you, I won.”
“I guess so, you’ll have to tutor me next time!”

Idc what the outcome will be but I'll probably need the motivation
If this post gets:
350 notes: I'll start properly writing the Vigilante AU that I'm struggling to do
500 notes: I'll start to clean my household that's dusty af
1000 notes: I'll start studying for my Journalism(I have to catch on a lot hwlp)
2000 notes: I'll start art studying more on the face
3000 notes: I'll start actually exercising the whole week(I've been needing to take vitamins because of how much I just sit and struggle to do something with my body)
4000 notes: I'll start actually studying for my school
5000 notes: I'll try stopping the voices in my head that says that all my injuries/suffering are just little and actually start trying to ask for help more
10000 notes: I'll go and fight my trauma and start trying to cook more food other than rice and eggs because I still remember that fire back when I was around 5(It's funny because I wanted to become a chef before and now I joke a lot about arson, ironic, ain't it?)
Why so much? I really want to do these and yet there's something in my head making me scared of doing these
No rules, go insane if needed

What we could have.
Am i the only one seeing it?? Me? Okay... ILL TELL YOU WHAT!!!! Since Sonic and Tails are seen alot as brothers, Shadow acknowledge that as well. And that somehow... couldd... give him jealousy. It makes him think of what him and his big sister, Maria couldve had done together on earth. But of course. To see siblings living happily is heartwarming. He wishes for them to not end too soon as how he is.
Ok but. Would it be ALSO funny if Shadow's reason of disliking Tails is because he is jealous of him???? LIKE. Both Tails and Shadow are the little brother. Except. Tails can still spend time w his big bro (Sonic) meanwhile Shadow's big sis (Maria) is.. yknow. Deceased<"3 He couldnt get to spend more time as Tails does so he just despise him, it reminds him of his self that is happier💥💥💥
