Candy and Candace were high school best friends. Candy was plain but intelligent and hard working. Her grades have always been top of class. Her parents teach at an elementary school. Candace is pretty, not the sort that would make every guy in the school to drool after her but enough to attract a few admirers. Her grades were decent yet not as stellar as those of Candy.
