I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.316Please respect copyright.PENANAFMzpDwHm1P
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.316Please respect copyright.PENANANji5PNUgMY
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.316Please respect copyright.PENANA0OTXCUqLRj
316Please respect copyright.PENANAM6NfzFTJVQ
I'm doing better. Slightly.316Please respect copyright.PENANAISCOM9ZzU5
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.316Please respect copyright.PENANAcTXi8IWp69
316Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2qq6Qtnua
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.316Please respect copyright.PENANAgelUk90KxX
"I was sick."316Please respect copyright.PENANARti3vsPC8z
And that was it.316Please respect copyright.PENANAMI112VshZW
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.316Please respect copyright.PENANABn3XQouNkI
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 316Please respect copyright.PENANAmuBVH3nIVu
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.316Please respect copyright.PENANA1ouCLb4JNE
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.316Please respect copyright.PENANAYaPkZ28xfe
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
316Please respect copyright.PENANAOFCqg8JoY3
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?316Please respect copyright.PENANAS2WiFJpuWM
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.316Please respect copyright.PENANAkh1WDz9Skt
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.316Please respect copyright.PENANAljcmSFMY7K
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?316Please respect copyright.PENANArAsdfH3F1j
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,316Please respect copyright.PENANAAHtE1eLZlG
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,316Please respect copyright.PENANAXeSSoP4kUs
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.316Please respect copyright.PENANAFkIHrbRLEX
316Please respect copyright.PENANAOhcsKQXgAc
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.316Please respect copyright.PENANApdQwxey3Yj
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."316Please respect copyright.PENANAN9pQoQKq8o
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.316Please respect copyright.PENANAsi88L0Q8Gk
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.316Please respect copyright.PENANANWz6LXnbXD
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?316Please respect copyright.PENANASqO6wti5Hu
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.316Please respect copyright.PENANA9jVAkfEKM5
316Please respect copyright.PENANAKlzuVBtD7C
Fast footsteps approached.316Please respect copyright.PENANAS1il4cRztJ
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."316Please respect copyright.PENANAa6uwITqycG
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.316Please respect copyright.PENANAUc5hIYjDVM
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."316Please respect copyright.PENANASPkDJcv138
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."316Please respect copyright.PENANAfA5OVlBu9V
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.316Please respect copyright.PENANAYYpzekB4Bn
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.316Please respect copyright.PENANAJCAvzG5lo7
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.316Please respect copyright.PENANAE1xvikhZi5
And maybe I'll die myself, too.316Please respect copyright.PENANAWmtoTHiwPf
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"316Please respect copyright.PENANAMtv8F0KUNB
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.316Please respect copyright.PENANAiCTNTt2gcl
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."316Please respect copyright.PENANAgIJQbWVOuR
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."316Please respect copyright.PENANAW2RQ7IY6BU
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."316Please respect copyright.PENANAZczzPuHtdZ
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."316Please respect copyright.PENANAg2I01NE0QJ
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?"316Please respect copyright.PENANAd0QJm6EfPm
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?316Please respect copyright.PENANAz7haqVvNSY
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"316Please respect copyright.PENANAccSQkzzsEu
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.316Please respect copyright.PENANAIyXY4EE5Hl
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. 316Please respect copyright.PENANAsr1TWL87Bf
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.316Please respect copyright.PENANAqMuEzITYJN
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.316Please respect copyright.PENANAO2RNArVtjF
I was taken to the hospital.316Please respect copyright.PENANA3O8hjdwT46
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.316Please respect copyright.PENANAKNs4Fgkef4
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.316Please respect copyright.PENANAkA8GAPV229
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.316Please respect copyright.PENANAUbal3cysDI
Beggars can't be choosers. 316Please respect copyright.PENANALkId8Q54Wn
As a result, I'm alive.316Please respect copyright.PENANALTrxX6kuti
316Please respect copyright.PENANAw7DHeRFTTK
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.316Please respect copyright.PENANAJSSXDEgFbJ
Why was he out so late?316Please respect copyright.PENANA4OdQ5Jm133
Why did he do all that for me?316Please respect copyright.PENANAm3cxt4vUjw
There's no way he's that perfect.316Please respect copyright.PENANAbImBqdDraJ
Did he want to have dirt on me?316Please respect copyright.PENANACdWE1ZqxVr
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.316Please respect copyright.PENANAwbEFlEa06E
I pretended I never heard him.316Please respect copyright.PENANAHLxcmNYaIW
316Please respect copyright.PENANAzEAOf79HX9
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.316Please respect copyright.PENANARio5uRwNCz
And trash will always be trash.
