you were poor, like VERY poor, your dad had left your mom when you were just a little kid, so your mom ended up with 4 part time jobs, working her ass off every day. Everything she wanted was for you to have good grades in school, but ofcourse, you didn't. And you didn't have enough money for a tutor, so ofcourse you asked some people to help pay. But when you asked the rich kid scaramouche, he started laughing

"Are you really THAT poor you can't even pay for a tutor? Skill issue."
