Summary
He was a hurricane in human form – it was the only explanation for the turmoil of emotions trying to fit within his soul but spilling at the seams to drag the rest of his life into chaos too.
See, the problem with being exemplary was that after a while everyone began to expect it. Top grades were no longer something to be proud of, but simply the standard. John had to be the best because anything less was a disappointment. But when you’re at the top, there’s nowhere left to go. There’s no way to improve. And if you can’t exceed expectations, how can you ever impress anyone?
