Nathan clicked his tongue. Then he contacted Eli, thinking he could use the waiting time to learn something. Eli was a first grader, but he was very smart, and Nathan learned a lot from him.
But Eli sent a message: "I'm sorry, but I have to work now. I'm already on the bus."
Nathan fell silent. He had forgotten that Eli worked. He stared blankly at those words. He was used to that kind of life, it was nothing unusual to him, but now he saw it as unfair.
How could rich kids enjoy their lives while people like him, before, and Eli, had to work hard just to eat?
Nathan took a deep breath, then sent a message to Louis to take him home first.
That night, Nathan felt very tired. He closed his book and laptop, then glanced at the milk and snacks on the table that Malvin had brought.
