Colby Brock [5]

كان سام وكولبي أفضل الأصدقاء منذ أن كان عمر سام 13 عامًا وكان عمر كولبي 14 عامًا. الآن يبلغ عمر سام 16 عامًا وكولبي 17 عامًا، مما يعني أن الاثنين كانا أفضل الأصدقاء لمدة 3 سنوات كاملة، وهو وقت طويل.

كانوا يحصلون على درجاتهم من امتحان الأمس الذي درس سام بجد من أجله.

حصل كولبي على نتيجته، وكان متفاجئًا بعض الشيء عندما رأى أنه حصل على 78%، ولم يدرس حتى! في هذه الأثناء، امتلأت عينا سام بالدموع - فقد حصل على 32%... وهو ما يكفي بالكاد للحصول على تقدير مقبول...
