"Where have you been? Why are you sweating so much? Is it really that hot today?"
After leaving Alice's office, Sam specifically went to the restroom to wash his face before returning to the classroom.
Louis looked at Sam with curiosity, noticing the still-damp water stains on his face.
Sam turned around and smiled. "Yeah, it's pretty hot today. Plus, washing my face with cold water helps me stay alert. It lets me study better in the afternoon."
Louis stared at Sam in shock. "Are you serious? You're actually going to study? You disgust me!"
Clearly, Louis would rather they both slacked off together than watch Sam strive alone.
Sam shrugged.
"Sorry, but some paths, no matter how tough, I have to walk alone. I don't have the luxury of a backup plan."
Louis's lips quivered.
