Companion for a Night
A rich kid offers to pay anyone who'll be his companion to a ball ten thousand dollars.
My roommate stops me from responding. "He's just a rich guy fishing for fun—he's using money to play around with women! Are you going to offer yourself to him for money? We can't be gold diggers!"
My mother is sick, though. She needs my scholarship money to save her life.
To my devastation, my roommate latches onto a school board member and takes away my scholarship. She even mocks me. "With your looks, you could've sold yourself for money. Here's a hundred bucks to compensate you."
That's not all—an AI face-swapped picture of me are posted online. Countless people harass me because of them.
My mother doesn't want to drag me down, so she takes her life. I break down and choose to jump off a building.
When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the first day of the semester. The rich kid is looking for a female companion. I immediately say, "I'm the companion you've been looking for, sir!"
