Guy Keeps Pissing Me Off

So there's this random guy in my Spanish class who I don't really know too well. I didn't know him until the beginning of this year. He's really smart, and he is multiple years ahead in math and takes advanced placement and honors classes. I'm taking core classes this year, but I plan to take honors next year. Anyway, he's really been pissing me off lately. Whenever I share something, or even don't do anything, he'll always somehow do something annoying. I have a couple examples of this:

1.
Today, the topic of finance came up, so our Spanish teacher talked about how we should get a credit card as soon as possible or else we won't be able to buy anything, and she said that debit cards are way worse than credit cards. I spoke to my table, "My history teacher said that we should never buy credit cards, so I'm unsure who to trust here." The tone I said this in made it fairly obvious that this was a light joke, but this kid said, "Well your history teacher is wildly wrong." He said this in the most serious and pompous voice ever. And yes, he's obviously very smart, but there's no reason to be such a dickhead. Literally all I did was say a joke, so why take it so seriously? Then he proceeded to go on with, "...and you don't even have a history teacher." For context, no, I don't. I go to a career center for half the day in place of electives, but I decided to do Spanish as well, so I spoke to my counselors and we arranged it so that I could take Spanish this year, but take history over the summer. With this context, one would assume that I'd most likely be talking about a previous history teacher, but this kid sounded like he was accusing me of lying.

2.
Just yesterday was the day after the end of the second marking period. People were sharing my grades, and then this kid asked me what my GPA was. I'm in my freshman year, so I honestly didn't know how to check my GPA, so I asked how, since I missed it the first marking period. He showed me how, and it wasn't that big of a deal, but then he grabbed my chromebook as soon as I logged in and viewed my grades without asking before I even saw them myself. Now, this honestly wasn't that big of a deal either, until he said that I fell off. When I asked what he meant, he said that last marking period my GPA was 4.17, and this marking period it was 3.66. This was because I had all As in the second marking period except a B in health and a B in my career elective. First he asked me how I had a B in health, which is none of his business, but I answered anyway. Basically, I explained how health is set up differently in my school; we have a weekly assignment that we're never reminded of, so lots of students miss assignments. He then asked how I had a B in the elective that I chose. This was so stupid, since 1, it's a B. Bs are not even bad, and 2, it's literally a college course. I'm dual enrolled at my high school and college. I'm not trying to become the next Albert Einstein or anything, so why the hell does he even care? What's even more confusing is how he is randomly nice all of a sudden. One time, the assignment was to make a two truths and a lie slideshow in Spanish. I didn't really care how obvious mine was as long as I got full credit, and when everyone easily guessed mine, the teacher chose a different answer. I shrugged, and said, "She probably just feels bad for me." Now, that sounds attention seeking, but I swear I worded it differently to make sure that it didn't. I just don't recall exactly what I said. Anyway, the kid broke down how he thought it was pretty well thought out, and went over the steps he did to figure it out himself. I did appreciate it a bit, and thing like these make me feel less bad about him. Now that I've wrote all of these, I feel completely calm. He's not really a giant issue, but he does get me annoyed sometimes. He's also said he has ADHD, but he's medicated. I don't know anything about ADHD, but is that what's causing him to behave like this, or is he just messing with me?
