An introduction to a slightly different version of Riley's lifestyle. It cuts off in the middle of a sentence for some reason.
The truth was that he was plenty intelligent, his scholarship was due to having really high exam grades. The truth was that he lived in cheap apartment, and barely scraped by; the money his dad sent was only enough for practical expenses—food, utility bills, any school fees.
