If it makes you happy, it doesn't matter who you're pleasing. I know it's hard to ignore your parents, and I think at least through high school you should take all the motivation you can get, but you do have control over the reasons you work. It doesn't have to be all for them or all for you. And you don't have to stress out about not doing as well as you expect.
At the top of the class, you obviously have the potential to do well. Even if you screw up, with that potential you'll at the very least be able to straighten stuff out. Even if you were to bomb high-school, you'll still be smart and that's worth a lot for your future by itself. Even so, you seem to be doing well so it doesn't even seem like a problem. Just don't stress.
