Anyway I can convince my teacher to change my grade?

We’ve had 2 tests so far in my Psychology class. I did pretty good on the first test (85%) but apparently majority of the class did much worse. Because of this, my teacher made a deal: if you get a score higher on the second test, your overall test grade becomes that grade.

I did pretty bad on the second one (64%) and want to change it. My argument so far is: I am getting punished for actually studying/working hard on the first test when others didn’t, and that the “deal” is drastic enough where the reverse should also be true. How should I confront my teacher about this without sounding like an a**hole?
