I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.303Please respect copyright.PENANA86unML0Zdx
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.303Please respect copyright.PENANAtFAtbWmPNB
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.303Please respect copyright.PENANAY8dSjW75TT
303Please respect copyright.PENANAIihua9RdJ0
I'm doing better. Slightly.303Please respect copyright.PENANAB4IgGv99qF
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.303Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ejEg8VvL
303Please respect copyright.PENANABTaNxXe5pZ
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.303Please respect copyright.PENANAF0eK4p14Um
"I was sick."303Please respect copyright.PENANAHon9CxQJRQ
And that was it.303Please respect copyright.PENANATnJXPsMhNN
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.303Please respect copyright.PENANAWPXZvu0yAH
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 303Please respect copyright.PENANA5x83v03GMe
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.303Please respect copyright.PENANA5szRnyEfIS
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.303Please respect copyright.PENANAskZLiHdcbM
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA5PybQGIIx7
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?303Please respect copyright.PENANAmFVT7c2k8J
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAg8m0rlgXIN
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.303Please respect copyright.PENANA5K7ktKMFdB
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?303Please respect copyright.PENANAp7xkrkUugt
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,303Please respect copyright.PENANAomWkqkIMY8
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,303Please respect copyright.PENANAhA56HOHBX3
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.303Please respect copyright.PENANACf8272nZgq
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhkxxAu1YLt
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAhGf4CHdpec
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."303Please respect copyright.PENANAWuHlBos0hs
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.303Please respect copyright.PENANAUOZxqqFAjI
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.303Please respect copyright.PENANAdv7tSQ2mEm
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?303Please respect copyright.PENANAoGplKMcL8R
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.303Please respect copyright.PENANAZLTUrskysx
303Please respect copyright.PENANAYgs6rjwDcX
Fast footsteps approached.303Please respect copyright.PENANAi0ygh8qKbQ
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."303Please respect copyright.PENANAgjfR0t8AUf
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.303Please respect copyright.PENANAVLkKufjvz8
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."303Please respect copyright.PENANAS8xrV5j5Xd
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."303Please respect copyright.PENANAeTK18P9mqK
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.303Please respect copyright.PENANAJdhbM2rFFg
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.303Please respect copyright.PENANAAdERtv9Y6F
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.303Please respect copyright.PENANAEDeBfWJHYs
And maybe I'll die myself, too.303Please respect copyright.PENANAzRn4zHxVbF
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"303Please respect copyright.PENANA6zVmxL6hyS
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.303Please respect copyright.PENANAds8LfMJ1id
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."303Please respect copyright.PENANAA7pVPs7CT2
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."303Please respect copyright.PENANA5vWNxkKWCJ
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."303Please respect copyright.PENANAHPOUDQ676g
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."303Please respect copyright.PENANAWlqc2IZ5GP
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?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAwnZ73L7EhX
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?303Please respect copyright.PENANA1rcooXyAIo
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"303Please respect copyright.PENANA7hKIGlH1OS
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.303Please respect copyright.PENANA71I8O3DISj
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. 303Please respect copyright.PENANAFGEvOfI64n
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.303Please respect copyright.PENANAZtz5mEaTId
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.303Please respect copyright.PENANAF8xSA0CdzD
I was taken to the hospital.303Please respect copyright.PENANAq6jwVW0tHB
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.303Please respect copyright.PENANAynKgNmpNqo
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.303Please respect copyright.PENANAB9l3cwqPe3
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAlZc3IT8O1W
Beggars can't be choosers. 303Please respect copyright.PENANAf7sSyYgJgg
As a result, I'm alive.303Please respect copyright.PENANAkiVN31DUhF
303Please respect copyright.PENANAjvdubTq4dH
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.303Please respect copyright.PENANAhGYhAhv2VG
Why was he out so late?303Please respect copyright.PENANAccPmajCgfw
Why did he do all that for me?303Please respect copyright.PENANAGe1vQmBpwh
There's no way he's that perfect.303Please respect copyright.PENANAjV2hw65VWl
Did he want to have dirt on me?303Please respect copyright.PENANA9q1o3PLAFM
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.303Please respect copyright.PENANAWti3RcHJHl
I pretended I never heard him.303Please respect copyright.PENANAYb6a7Fo6KL
303Please respect copyright.PENANAD1XYF9TZrB
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.303Please respect copyright.PENANASnnSxtyjTE
And trash will always be trash.
