I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.240Please respect copyright.PENANAKORl2tJsVe
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.240Please respect copyright.PENANA96HLAneE6o
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.240Please respect copyright.PENANAtLdeJfS6dQ
240Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ80YF8lQw
I'm doing better. Slightly.240Please respect copyright.PENANAscxM8IfPAM
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.240Please respect copyright.PENANA8nR9h0AbE3
240Please respect copyright.PENANAwBRqlMA0vs
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.240Please respect copyright.PENANAz9p3zIaBhE
"I was sick."240Please respect copyright.PENANAczcQ5cMAjS
And that was it.240Please respect copyright.PENANAG2Gg0p7Q2K
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.240Please respect copyright.PENANAl5t2q81k6A
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 240Please respect copyright.PENANAHwTyEd7zqM
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.240Please respect copyright.PENANAP4PcWAeoUZ
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.240Please respect copyright.PENANACLZZy8lGtU
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA07rhGF6MmO
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?240Please respect copyright.PENANAte0uJm5P6o
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.240Please respect copyright.PENANAH42VKbd13q
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.240Please respect copyright.PENANAJwGjlmQ8Rl
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?240Please respect copyright.PENANAXqIvUB6uNT
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,240Please respect copyright.PENANAKWHYshyTxT
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,240Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4mPz8pmqU
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.240Please respect copyright.PENANADfNZ4tdXff
240Please respect copyright.PENANApPqYPJKId1
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.240Please respect copyright.PENANAOjeVA6xd8g
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."240Please respect copyright.PENANAlArcsPnwA5
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.240Please respect copyright.PENANANMrDAboJUR
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.240Please respect copyright.PENANAxqdPXrKYJr
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?240Please respect copyright.PENANAXiZVBPDPKg
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.240Please respect copyright.PENANA0XriAsXZa3
240Please respect copyright.PENANAYTajEDnnwA
Fast footsteps approached.240Please respect copyright.PENANAje8TvWVICk
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."240Please respect copyright.PENANAsuagWTBrfn
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.240Please respect copyright.PENANAqwdHF1EW0Y
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."240Please respect copyright.PENANATW0BhABH40
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."240Please respect copyright.PENANA5CchFO5Cck
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.240Please respect copyright.PENANAFCZvCpgt9L
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.240Please respect copyright.PENANAbAUriTwUx1
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.240Please respect copyright.PENANA48tDARkIBa
And maybe I'll die myself, too.240Please respect copyright.PENANAFb2uIXEXyd
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"240Please respect copyright.PENANAoYYP0NykZz
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.240Please respect copyright.PENANAKJUng9iqSe
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."240Please respect copyright.PENANAxjb7UjdBKK
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."240Please respect copyright.PENANAar33DTmuCY
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."240Please respect copyright.PENANAhg1haHckUn
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."240Please respect copyright.PENANAD11xulDjmI
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?"240Please respect copyright.PENANAK01aLFaPwS
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?240Please respect copyright.PENANAwPRaEiovXv
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"240Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQl7PBcIf
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.240Please respect copyright.PENANA6neC88XZVP
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. 240Please respect copyright.PENANAQyXmO8SX8U
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.240Please respect copyright.PENANADp2Q3ldeir
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.240Please respect copyright.PENANA6bYZ2eblKy
I was taken to the hospital.240Please respect copyright.PENANAVgZFO9cUbL
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.240Please respect copyright.PENANAstKwnBRS1C
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.240Please respect copyright.PENANAx3OEHn2aWZ
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.240Please respect copyright.PENANA8JZXBC8i12
Beggars can't be choosers. 240Please respect copyright.PENANA7BTsRn5ycE
As a result, I'm alive.240Please respect copyright.PENANA0oG8Mq6FsJ
240Please respect copyright.PENANA2S3FcrifWY
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.240Please respect copyright.PENANAOLgZ5yPm92
Why was he out so late?240Please respect copyright.PENANA2NHmJu7nHW
Why did he do all that for me?240Please respect copyright.PENANAz9fiqOyYz1
There's no way he's that perfect.240Please respect copyright.PENANARskNYzfsaC
Did he want to have dirt on me?240Please respect copyright.PENANAV9jwbtUWVr
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.240Please respect copyright.PENANAeIVYg0aCwC
I pretended I never heard him.240Please respect copyright.PENANAkWIWQADXiJ
240Please respect copyright.PENANAvo27kMqZ6K
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.240Please respect copyright.PENANAqkMobS8DCe
And trash will always be trash.
