Even if it was twelve years later, Harley still couldn’t forget that day. He had just completed the admission procedures. On the way back, he passed by his former junior high school, where the head teacher of the junior high school saw him and asked him if he wanted to earn some money after school.
The head teacher opened a remedial class near the junior high school. As Harley's grades had always been the first in his grade, he was qualified to be a teacher.
The head teacher promised to give him 25 dollars per hour.
At that time, Harley was in dire need of money.
