Oh you want to know who the friends I studied with were? Well one of them I had known since my first year of college when we got into a "who was at the top of the class" competition, or classes I should say. He was a double major in Psychology and Biology, starting off in his first year too so we had three of the same classes. We were both very serious about our studies and aimed to get a job at Akham Asylum after graduation but unlike me Jonathan was an obnoxious know it all who always made sure to raise his hand first in class and push up his glasses before giving an answer for added effect.
Needless to say neither of us liked each other at first. He had this pompous attitude about him, like he genuinely thought he was smarter and better than everyone else. When I first asked to form a study group with him he shot my offer down the second I started to speak the words. It wasn't until the end of the year when we tied scores in our classes that Jonathan finally gave up and became my friend. After that we signed up for as many classes as we could together and stayed after school twice a week to study together.
It was nice to have a friend, someone to talk to even though he was fairly quiet. The only time Jonathan took the time to speak was to discuss class or insult someone. Because of that everyone pretty much stayed away from him. They weren't to friendly to me either. Nobody wanted to hang out with a quiet teachers pet and I didn't really care to talk to those slackers either. I understood why Jonathan was so hesitant to make friends, they just wanted a free ride thru class after all. A free pass from the top students. Because of this I had decided to take Jonathans lead and not make any more friends, not like I really tried in the first place, but we had both decided to not add anyone to our study group. That is, until we met her.
