Ace, a high school senior and tennis star, had a master plan for his final year: maintain decent grades, get into his dream college, and then chill. With his teachers on board, everything was going as planned until his Calculus teacher decided to change the game rules. The teacher retroactively increased the worth of assignments, causing Ace’s grade to plummet. But Ace wasn’t going down without a fight. He took his case to the principal, arguing the unfairness of the situation. The principal sided with Ace, causing the teacher to revert the changes, but not without some resentment.
