I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqSiP4yQMk
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6JzJmQRXp
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhXMnwQhO
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYOkqwDyvW
I'm doing better. Slightly.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BY3EbXyiN
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCOlwOJBKx
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5IEzxIb8y
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS3rAV9kXy
"I was sick."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9ukJYNj9
And that was it.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDep6jVHGD
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHwTmt1pQm
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK58EdU8bH6
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ8fiDLBId
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvaLoHKS1s
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WBvJNmZhT
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQVdC7Yam
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLH1GjWTcK
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvt0DNF9jn
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUbBNqLKs
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Sk4YZ7Fs
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiBNvhSPF7
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQOq6ytq2C
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtpTiyD5bq
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62kjiTnop9
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIItjs0JxI4
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6j3QJnU9R
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkRz8jICT9
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwa6bK0IgL
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfWWkeRAkG
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcQOy7Unf0
Fast footsteps approached.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzXfIQhHkH
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugjBXH7J0
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeV6FnT2SM
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiImrLiO9O
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPhnTqQL2r
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdJw7Aqqom
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yCiz8AJkO
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7E5SteIyh
And maybe I'll die myself, too.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2xNaKAAd2
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1cYJkzHXA
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9UFQjKtCm
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R5UGdMleP
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiPTO4nV9a
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb5Dzmujvg
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9YCNfaYWa
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?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTi8uLprL9
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVLINxEBFG
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDtYoUHymw
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIXhgSgjxm
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. 259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Y61UEZxX
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UdfemDuth
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETMIxl1cly
I was taken to the hospital.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbPqjREgEK
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc40iBnxn5
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWlVIJog0I
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtREJt6rLH3
Beggars can't be choosers. 259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jR4OZUMjS
As a result, I'm alive.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEsaTL8aa4
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo2sYHppDQ
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa29u56Ycc
Why was he out so late?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGt0fpL4PV
Why did he do all that for me?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5A7BQ6eV
There's no way he's that perfect.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mWonpEJJO
Did he want to have dirt on me?259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yte9L3zSW
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMH15Gj1DY
I pretended I never heard him.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwwRF3bpn
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRftz8QKaVU
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqLHpkZr7J
And trash will always be trash.
