I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.304Please respect copyright.PENANAwJjshWAX2T
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.304Please respect copyright.PENANAqiuWq7gaCw
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.304Please respect copyright.PENANATgOlemKMr5
304Please respect copyright.PENANAf8FDI3RgM5
I'm doing better. Slightly.304Please respect copyright.PENANAUtiqxOV2s8
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.304Please respect copyright.PENANA5vRpv3YyGk
304Please respect copyright.PENANAXscMHfA3wO
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.304Please respect copyright.PENANA6IL78riUrc
"I was sick."304Please respect copyright.PENANAhBnFQlDDjs
And that was it.304Please respect copyright.PENANAsGGwifpJfD
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.304Please respect copyright.PENANAao6rmZJZtb
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAG0SA63lIDA
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.304Please respect copyright.PENANA9zAensixl9
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.304Please respect copyright.PENANAQkzSTXMpzQ
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
304Please respect copyright.PENANATFXj3KlDjO
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?304Please respect copyright.PENANAJFMVxkYzbj
I thought I would get away with not writing anything, damn it. Hahaha. Sorry, must be lame reading a guy talking to himself. Er, writing, whatever.
I think I've mentioned the class prez once. I mean, that's all there is to him.304Please respect copyright.PENANAfYrS3cUXxT
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.304Please respect copyright.PENANA6zBhMWA9uP
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?304Please respect copyright.PENANAkCuwuCD67j
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,304Please respect copyright.PENANA5gLKouTgQx
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,304Please respect copyright.PENANA3EodeynqSf
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.304Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kc45YvY6e
304Please respect copyright.PENANA4QoTlfFsy4
I didn't even expect him to remember my name. Well, I guess remembering everyone's names in class isn't hard after a while.
But it had to be him, of all people.304Please respect copyright.PENANAwX5nx610nc
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."304Please respect copyright.PENANA4VIP70eJFT
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.304Please respect copyright.PENANARKtgpKz1Nb
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.304Please respect copyright.PENANApfpR8dXyRM
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?304Please respect copyright.PENANAiHsZwb7pso
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.304Please respect copyright.PENANAitHBBmkveS
304Please respect copyright.PENANATwEeR08Xyi
Fast footsteps approached.304Please respect copyright.PENANARL1rHtyqPw
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."304Please respect copyright.PENANAw3uxwhuHde
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.304Please respect copyright.PENANAb79mkwrCWW
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."304Please respect copyright.PENANAExXJ9ofbiZ
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."304Please respect copyright.PENANA9bppZgQsaA
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.304Please respect copyright.PENANAFULPp1u46m
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.304Please respect copyright.PENANAaRTBfylyQX
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.304Please respect copyright.PENANAuw1cpuA4Wm
And maybe I'll die myself, too.304Please respect copyright.PENANA8fKRIALbYf
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"304Please respect copyright.PENANAAILrGWN6ma
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.304Please respect copyright.PENANApJMUSJRqxV
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."304Please respect copyright.PENANAqaJ7YAnXWG
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."304Please respect copyright.PENANAoXzw25LHMS
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."304Please respect copyright.PENANAbIG3A9dek4
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."304Please respect copyright.PENANAarwHSxzb4z
Suddenly, I felt annoyed. A feeling I haven't had in a while.
"I know you're not... but isn't it human decency to help a classmate when he's in trouble?"304Please respect copyright.PENANASj3Vq5svhe
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?304Please respect copyright.PENANApNPJ1wAiQl
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"304Please respect copyright.PENANAGmWG07kBJd
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.304Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hq07TajOP
I remember being prepared to utter a whole line of curse words, but when I noticed his grip shaking, I lost the chance to.
I was tired. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAuZgIncsZlw
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.304Please respect copyright.PENANA2QlOnHzy2r
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.304Please respect copyright.PENANAPahpQrM3sU
I was taken to the hospital.304Please respect copyright.PENANAiayU9D6m0L
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.304Please respect copyright.PENANAtolHmdQOyQ
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.304Please respect copyright.PENANAbYzZPwSIlL
As humiliating as it was, it was conflicting. I don't know if I could've afforded it myself, yet I was angry. I was ashamed.304Please respect copyright.PENANAQpkLBfjHFx
Beggars can't be choosers. 304Please respect copyright.PENANA8HeN9msIgv
As a result, I'm alive.304Please respect copyright.PENANAxcZRrU1Lrj
304Please respect copyright.PENANAvLaEuy9x4P
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.304Please respect copyright.PENANAbRknyOaUC1
Why was he out so late?304Please respect copyright.PENANAEjiRnhTx97
Why did he do all that for me?304Please respect copyright.PENANAM5iN7a71Ti
There's no way he's that perfect.304Please respect copyright.PENANA2hal7kSpIe
Did he want to have dirt on me?304Please respect copyright.PENANAY9LbFUcWqP
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.304Please respect copyright.PENANALg24uIdRbT
I pretended I never heard him.304Please respect copyright.PENANACXgFv66yDj
304Please respect copyright.PENANAiSpkyXIK4H
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.304Please respect copyright.PENANAhck085GAqx
And trash will always be trash.
