My Deskmate Is a Hidden Top Student

Speaking of my junior high school classmate Lin Mo, almost no one would associate him with the word "student" before he went through the big exam. He always sits quietly by the window in the classroom and does not actively raise his hand in class. He writes his homework neatly but never excels. His grades are always in the middle of the class, like a pebble blending into the sand, so plain that people can easily ignore him. But no one thought that behind this seemingly inconspicuous and ordinary classmate, there was hidden strength that could amaze the entire grade. As for me, as his deskmate who stayed with him day and night, I witnessed with my own eyes a counterattack from "mediocre" to "first in class". During this wonderful time as his deskmate, I understood the persistence and low-keyness behind excellence, and gained a youthful friendship that grew in both directions.
