Dear Persons-who-shall-remain-nameless,
I’m sick of helping you with your homework at lunch. Maybe if you actually did it at home you wouldn’t need me. I know, it’s a difficult concept to grasp, doing your homework at home. Truthfully, I still have trouble with it myself. Because, guess what? I don’t know everything! I’d like to give you ample time to recover from the shock of that revelation, but there’re a few more issues I want to address here.
I do not, as you seem to imagine, like being labeled as “smart” by either you or our teachers. In fact, the opposite is true. Nor do I enjoy being made to feel that on the one hand I am entirely too lax about school, and on the other that a.) I am a genius, and b.) that is the most hideously embarrassing thing I could possibly be. Because guess what? I’m not lax about school, I’m not a genius, and even if I were either or both, they are not the most hideously embarrassing things I could be.
And you know what else? I don’t care if I get a B! The only reason I worry about getting Bs is because if I do my mom will kill me!
And by the way, I don’t appreciate you calling me late at night to find out what our homework is and/or how to do it. Maybe if you actually paid attention in class you would already know! And even if that requires too much effort on your part, why are you calling me to find out how to answer questions out of the textbook? Hell, I don’t pay attention in class and I still know how to do that!
Also, stop bugging me about not bringing a lunch! I’m only there two frickin periods!! I’m not anorexic, if that's why you’re so concerned! Which, quite honestly, I think is very, very obvious.
Sincerely,
Your Extremely Frustrated and Totally Normal Classmate

(I have no idea why that affects your own status, but thought it might make you feel better?)

Sorry I was such a brat over the past few days... :(
I love you.
