Observing my little brother’s class, the 'favorite' is this boy who’s neither the jock nor the genius. He’s just authentic. Once, when a new kid tripped and spilled their lunch, he was the first to help clean up—not performatively, just naturally. Kids respect that. He also has this knack for diffusing tension; when arguments start, he cracks a dumb joke that somehow works. Teachers appreciate him because he’s respectful but never brown-noses. I think being the favorite boils down to emotional intelligence—reading the room, matching energy, and adding something positive without forcing it.
From my experience tutoring, the students who stand out aren’t always the ones with straight A’s. One girl I worked with was mid-tier academically but had this infectious curiosity—she’d ask questions that made everyone perk up, like wondering why historical figures made certain choices or connecting math problems to real-life scenarios. Teachers ate it up because she made lessons feel alive. Peers liked her because she wasn’t competitive; she’d cheer on others when they got answers right.
Another thing? Reliability. If the teacher needed someone to demo a science experiment or lead a discussion, she’d volunteer without making it a big deal. No ego, just enthusiasm. Class favorites often have this vibe where they’re present—not glued to their phone, not just going through the motions. It’s like they’re subtly reminding everyone, 'Hey, we’re all in this together.'
There's this kid in my cousin's class who everyone just adores, and it got me thinking about what makes someone the 'class favorite.' It's not just about being the smartest or the funniest—though those help. This kid, for example, remembers little things about people, like asking if someone’s sick younger sibling is feeling better or noticing when a quiet classmate finally speaks up. It’s the small kindnesses that stack up. They also have this way of making group work feel less like a chore—joking around but still getting stuff done. Teachers love them too because they’re engaged without being a know-it-all.
What’s interesting is that it’s not about popularity in the traditional sense. They’re not the center of every social circle, but when they walk into a room, people light up. Maybe it’s because they make others feel seen. I’ve noticed the class favorites often have this balance: confident enough to be themselves but humble enough to lift others up. It’s less about being 'perfect' and more about being genuinely good to be around.

She hates him.
For a year already, Mr. Adkins has been cruel to Norali. Her teacher keeps failing her, keeps making comments to her and keeps her late in class. She can't seem to understand why he has such an aversion to her, but she has been equally as mean back.

But he is the only one teaching the subject. There's no escaping him.
And that's exactly how Jace likes it. Norali is his. His to hate, his to desire... His to own. He is in every way a control freak but only wants to have complete control of one person... His student who doesn't listen.
He hates her.

"Now you'll just follow my command." As he told me, I nodded my head meekly, sitting on the desk.
"Professor wants his favourite student to stand up and come to him." As he commanded, I stood up and sauntered to him. My heartbeat is accelerating with every step which I'm taking toward him.
"Now remove your top for your professor, my favourite student." As he ordered, I flushed, moving my eyelashes down.
"Do it fast, Princess. I'm waiting." As he spoke, I moved my eyes up at him shyly. He pointed his finger at my top. I held the hem of my green top and pulled it over my head, gazing at his handsome face sheepishly.
"Now give it to me." As he said, I instantly gave my top to him, and he inhaled my scent from the top, closing his eyes.
"Your scent is exquisite, Princess." He whispered after opening his eyes.
He kept my top on the table. "Now this." He pointed his finger at my bra, asking me take it off. I blushed hard before taking my hands behind and unlocking it. This is really increasing my excitement.
As I removed it, he moved his eyes down at my twins and then up at me. "You're really beautiful, Princess." He complimented me, touching my heart.
He pulled out his hand, and I gave my bra to him. Then like this, I pulled out my jeans and undies too and gave them to him. This is arousing my desires more.
He is gazing at my body like he's gazing at the stars. "I like you like this. You are so beautiful, Princess. For me, your body is perfect from every corner." I smiled at him.

During a public lecture on derivatives, I hurl my water bottle hard at the blackboard.
Under the stunned gazes of the professor and my classmates, I stand up and say, "Seriously? Is there a need to explain a problem this simple? Move on to the next one. How did you bunch of idiots get into the accelerated program? How are you even worthy of sitting in the same classroom as me?"
I turn my head and see my mother, who is standing outside the classroom to accompany me as I attend the lecture. She has a pleased and approving look on her face.
A reporter sitting in the back quickly points the camera at me.
I smile and call out toward the door, "Mom, I need to pee. Come take me to the restroom."
Akira Sanders is an author...an romance author. Pen named Miss. OG, her writings are famous among the high school kids, but little do her fans know that she herself is a high school student and...a . Her biggest inspirations are porn videos and washroom gossips.
Ethan Whitmore is the high school 'it' boy with God like looks and an ego as huge as Mt. Olympus. An arrogant but the biggest fan of Miss. OG's novellas. Oh! And did I mention that he's the chemistry teacher?
So what happens when Ethan comes to know that his favourite author is actually a high school girl, moreover, his student? Join them in their journey through senior year as Ethan tries to teach our Superstar, a thing or two about chemical reactions...of a very different kind.
Hailey May Collins is the school's cool girl; Smart, confident, mysterious, and intimidating. Everything that she does is admired by everybody, even by the way she walks or talks. Everybody worships her.
But her cool-girl personality is nothing but a mask to hide her true self - a nervous and paranoid teen who's constantly worried about her social status. But even though she's having a hard time putting on her mask, she would gladly play along until after her senior year.
That is until she discovered the secret of the Student Council students, whose real identities are The Pandorgriffs. The most popular girl and boy band of the year. Now, everywhere she goes, they follow her like a stalker. But what’s worse than having famous stalkers?
It's when they find out about her secret as well.
Growing up, I noticed that some kids just naturally gravitated toward being the teacher's favorite, and it wasn't always for the reasons you'd expect. For some, it was about seeking validation—maybe they didn't get enough praise at home, so they craved that reassurance from an authority figure. Others genuinely adored the subject and wanted to soak up as much knowledge as possible, which made them stand out. I remember one classmate who would stay after school just to discuss the themes in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' with our English teacher, not for brownie points but because they were genuinely passionate.
Then there were the strategic types—kids who understood early on that being in the teacher's good graces could mean better opportunities, like leadership roles or recommendation letters. It wasn't necessarily manipulative; they were just playing the game smartly. And let's be honest, some teachers have biases too. A student who reminds them of their younger self or shares their interests might get unintentional favoritism. It's a messy mix of personality, circumstance, and sometimes, just plain luck.
Ever wondered why some students just seem to effortlessly click with their teachers? It’s not about sucking up—trust me, teachers can spot that from a mile away. The key is genuine engagement. Show up curious, ask questions that go beyond the syllabus, and actually listen to their answers. I had this one history teacher who lit up every time someone brought up an obscure fact or connected a lesson to current events. It wasn’t about being the smartest; it was about showing you cared.
Another thing? Reliability. Teachers adore students who take initiative without being asked. If you notice the whiteboard markers are dying, replace them. Volunteer to organize study groups or help peers who are struggling. Small acts of consideration build trust. And here’s the unspoken truth: teachers are human. They remember the student who made their job feel meaningful, not just the one with perfect grades. My chemistry teacher once told me her favorite students were the ones who made her laugh—because teaching is exhausting, and joy matters.
