The rich always go too far.

 Little tapeworm of a student comes in 19 minutes early! That's a record.  Previous record was 15 minutes early.  I'm astonished at the rich; how they expect one to chip in extra time, even despite their wealth and my relative poverty.  The worst was when - on my way out to get a smoothie and escape their benighted tyranny, the older brother comments: What about my brother!  Sorry mate: I've got to eat, otherwise I'll give a bad lesson, I say. The shameless presumptiousness of some people!

The wedding house

 The house was a massive wedding hall, with thick gilded curtains and champaigne glasses lining the many tables. The guests gave off a scent of affluence.  I remember thinking "I've made it". My bride to be had a rich look about her that was full of the recognition of others. Her legs were golden, her hair too. And then I looked closer into her face. Her eyes were the most unknowing, petty, humorless eyes I'd ever seen. Nothing like the little one I'd left. My Thai princess. I only realized how soft, how loving was the woman I'd left. And an inner scream rent my soul. What had I done?
