Looking forward for..../scene,nucleus
Hi. I have two questions.
Suddenly I had a reason to live. I felt great relief, and thought it doesn't really matter now if you flunk your exams. And I was hanging out with some very smart people, so I wasn't looking forward to flunking.
--- Does it mean that because he was hanging out with smart people there was no threat that he could flunk his exams?
Mike always had some other life out there. He had a school life where he obviously was part of a scene and a nucleus of a lot of people and then he had another life somehwre else......
--- I'm not sure how to understand these two "scene" and a "nucleus"?

looking forward to flunking I don't know. It could mean he has plenty of tutoring available and therefore would be able to pass the exams. Or it could mean that since he was accepted by these smart people, who possibly respect him and take him as he is; the status of passing the exams is no longer important to him.
