The narrator begins this chapter by saying that he is a true prodigy and that he has always been considered one of the top students in the world. He then goes on to say that he does not know the difference between a study slacker and a straight-A student. He says that the two students swap bodies and help each other. The narrator says that he did not expect the two to be interesting, but that eventually they will be. He tells the reader that the school punk and the prodigy are real people in the community and that they are selling candies. He also says that if they are not real, he will eat them.
