a half-grade - You’re not failing, but you’re not passing, you’re just stuc

You’re not failing, but you’re not passing, you’re just stuck in the middle with no friends.

I got a half-grade because I was 'not bad, but not good, just average and annoying.'

You're like a group project, no one wants you, but you’re not the worst.

You're the kid who gets stuck between B and C because you’re not loud enough to be noticed.
