I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUHiVbiDg4
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjx8P9NxBz
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxshusAy0r
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHttu1Rtcy
I'm doing better. Slightly.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVH38Hq6i6
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22cXSiJLJU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtlxZ1AH9A
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrhUFj5DcZ
"I was sick."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoctYYqW91u
And that was it.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYhGgvRyA6
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGyk9EMe17
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbYznVRt5L
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY6masCWTX
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuKhd49U1G
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rjqAELiZh
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIwyqxucHF
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUup3e97da
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRawjUNWQKl
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rJxW7tlyB
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLZ9Bm7Me
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvXxX3xeLh
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjMWDmiGlQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQnZyCDucN
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU48NCVnf3A
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8kJXNb9k
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsOoQVMip5
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMM10BLT3z
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWijEcugh20
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wEuD53hce
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAen7kiOt84
Fast footsteps approached.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mw9UEiiFQ
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAd0PpYTNO
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zGmRQ0Yoa
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTrjTGOzoi
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpV3hZjndB
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKUfh5ywfG
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa1OWLa7Wv
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6kghCHXRj
And maybe I'll die myself, too.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELTYJ0Ujf0
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjJZ0PjHPq
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48VMBVmdrh
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm7gUBM8F0
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYEAM6Ae25
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7NnmaqlK1
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtOYmAULj7
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?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoctKuDS76
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoPnhAizHN
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBjTlUvMqJ
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlmyoWdyRO
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. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYrHsoAF1u
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphQfZrdozF
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkhTqbWDEb
I was taken to the hospital.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XN6V1r7GI
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIDxFX9rJG
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv4dy4dQ0t
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.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwWiyf7Rs
Beggars can't be choosers. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGsw1M0ZwX
As a result, I'm alive.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe219WzTWXu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpVX69GQL2
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrfsSpupTY
Why was he out so late?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SS1Kur550
Why did he do all that for me?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVksFigmsFt
There's no way he's that perfect.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKBqp7vfp8
Did he want to have dirt on me?266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzjpwODoZf
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPUxCKHyz0
I pretended I never heard him.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykRZVHcDSC
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmno1hm9PCl
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiag5uPLYIB
And trash will always be trash.
