Which excerpt from "Seventh Grade” best expresses the main conflict that Victor faces in the story? They talked about recent movies, baseball, their parents, and the horrors of picking grapes in order to buy their fall clothes.

After English, Victor had math, his weakest subject. He sat in the back by the window, hoping he wouldn’t be called on. A river of nervous sweat ran down his palms. He felt awful. Teresa sat a few desks away, no doubt thinking he was a fool.
