Chapter 8
What do I do now?
Koi had never even considered a Plan B because he never imagined Ashley would just irresponsibly drop everything like this. But now, he had no choice but to figure one out.
I didn’t think he’d be this unreliable!
For a moment, Koi felt tears welling up. He tilted his head back and took deep breaths.
He’s probably too sick to care about anything right now. But still, responsibilities are responsibilities. If he knew he couldn’t do it, he should’ve at least called me in advance. Then I would’ve had a little more time. But now, how am I supposed to do this alone...?
It felt like he was the only one in the world forced to finish assignments no matter how miserable he felt. For someone like Ashley Miller, a guy with everything, this project was probably nothing. Even if he got a B, he wouldn’t care. And if his grades ever did become a problem, his family could just donate a new school building, and he’d get in anywhere he wanted.
I hate privileged kids.
Koi roughly wiped away the tear that had managed to escape. He had no other choice. He needed to stay calm. He was the only one who needed this grade, so he had to finish it no matter what.
Once he made up his mind, panic set in. If he had to do Ashley’s part too, he’d need twice the time. But quitting his part-time job wasn’t an option. The only thing he could cut back on was sleep.
“I can sleep all I want when I’m dead.”
Muttering to himself, Koi pedaled furiously, racing forward.
