8.0CompletedHonor Roll, Heart on Sleeve: All for Mom's Millions
For three years, the narrator takes notes for Samuel Nelson, covers his flirting and helps him reach a top college. Before term begins, he ends their relationship to pursue Anna, expecting heartbreak from someone he considers dull and devoted. The narrator instead checks a fifty-million payment and accepts the breakup. Samuel’s mother had paid generously for that apparent devotion, and the arrangement has served its purpose.
