I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb9GHs14S0
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJajtjbkeI
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBPqCsGBnE
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNTf7H1Kbz
I'm doing better. Slightly.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbBBEK3TwO
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkySfYSY05
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF6RZUzgNG
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfuFmdd8Iv
"I was sick."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy9Ar819Nk
And that was it.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CtDbbkmGe
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetU1vhnkWz
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOXvOM0WBe
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi14aWyCWBN
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gZ6FVkZ92
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoVzlMoX8e
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UvWcOxpcJ
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRuqa1mr1U
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy9JeDydGa
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPk4W3bJzT
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhomSoa2b
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYdTfsdrjg
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKGsA4bkMT
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0mOt4bzg
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zuW657n5V
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2blLdSc7tQ
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wLxqe4c6E
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwqZskXNeO
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2MwkvpqVF
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PmuZdy75b
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoEcMJ7Jad
Fast footsteps approached.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecuzCjaHhC
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvklOK7AZXA
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXYZDcDzHH
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVzPE1yYXR
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZG47s5aAT
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzyI8swruB
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e3D0GekZH
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJREngpqhkj
And maybe I'll die myself, too.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIH0YFHdDx
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAsD5KOsq2
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2zWkCfQ41
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE24i2L7ZZ1
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPb1uepBPJ
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh9MZ1LnIr
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvvJRS7aKj
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?"199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOh35s6e4h
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPB7TI53gt
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCBxyqBew5
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTC8ivcZM
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. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHguPqpv5s7
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7XA4AbjlB
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosehl5atjH
I was taken to the hospital.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDL8ItLlS
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1bPl6cEj
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iMykwI1GC
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.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVcuLg5fjC
Beggars can't be choosers. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPpuDLPIY6
As a result, I'm alive.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW1pP1bbZg
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE7nZzEMzO
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y0agOqgYz
Why was he out so late?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkeishJypW
Why did he do all that for me?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcPKOKD0m4
There's no way he's that perfect.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLt95bfm9I
Did he want to have dirt on me?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrNoYJrcHK
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPkilGsLxC
I pretended I never heard him.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap9Lhp5NK5
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0tnmUuHrJ
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMDDC1tYvg
And trash will always be trash.
