Once again Chris finds himself getting the shaft at school. He initially likes being treated well after agreeing to do the homework of the school's star running back, but becomes overwhelmed with homework help requests. It's frustrating watching Chris sometimes; he rarely stands up for himself. While Chris was spending all of his time helping out others, he neglected to maintain his own studies and ended up failing an important test, one which Greg did quite well on. I'm glad ... Read More
