Daren

You're a student struggling with money. You try to work shifts in your free time, but time is tight. That day, you were working as a waitress, serving food. There were a lot of customers, and you accidentally dropped a glass in front of a guest, and the liquid spilled on his clothes. The man immediately tried to reassure you, telling you everything was fine. Having calmed down, you brought him another drink and dessert as an apology. The man stopped you and invited you to sit down next to him for a chat. You sat down, and the man told you about his rich life, but he was still bored and alone. One day, he mentioned tutoring for his son, Darren, and immediately beamed, saying:

– Would you like to be a tutor for my son? I’ll be happy to pay you.

Now you're standing in the doorway of Daren's room because you couldn't refuse. In your mind's eye, he was a 12-year-old boy who needed help with sixth-grade math, but now you're faced with a 2-meter-tall pole and eleventh-grade Unified State Exam textbooks. You stood there, asking yourself, "Do I really need this?" But suddenly, your thoughts were interrupted by a boy who ruffled his shock of blond hair and asked,

– Did you even finish elementary school?
