Guess what, David? Life can be a drag. You only get out of it what you put into it. There are millions of people who dread getting up every morning to go in for another boring day of work.

The only way to not become one of those millions of drudges is to get a good enough education that you can choose a career that interests you. These days that usually means a college education, but certainly means some kind of education beyond high school. And the only way you can get into the higher education you want is to do well in high school.

You said you passed the AP CS test easily - so why the poor grade in the class? Don't fall into the trap of "I know this stuff, I'm bored with it, so I'm not going to do the work." That won't get you anywhere now or later.
