I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.251Please respect copyright.PENANAXJOC37pwh5
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.251Please respect copyright.PENANAGMWLBY40WM
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.251Please respect copyright.PENANAiErcPM0zcQ
251Please respect copyright.PENANARHyXwS4fw3
I'm doing better. Slightly.251Please respect copyright.PENANAJk2LZqmVNy
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.251Please respect copyright.PENANAovNqHJl0XW
251Please respect copyright.PENANAULdiuTD3lS
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.251Please respect copyright.PENANAbDNjC8hZMs
"I was sick."251Please respect copyright.PENANAHe45jMdKXe
And that was it.251Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5QYLjNpVZ
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.251Please respect copyright.PENANAxm6oaET1AE
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 251Please respect copyright.PENANAqciQOGbxwK
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.251Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1mMeBFHvo
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.251Please respect copyright.PENANAsm0Pkot4RW
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
251Please respect copyright.PENANAEUONDqZa9K
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?251Please respect copyright.PENANAZBCXg1ZikL
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.251Please respect copyright.PENANAF3uL7yETlc
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.251Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Flxa2EVW
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?251Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5SikxXwPa
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,251Please respect copyright.PENANAEoTOogKQcw
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,251Please respect copyright.PENANAini5xrOhgR
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.251Please respect copyright.PENANACpnIE2d1yW
251Please respect copyright.PENANArs6lkEfPyF
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.251Please respect copyright.PENANAnCIDOJGksr
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."251Please respect copyright.PENANAxhQ0rLdFFB
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.251Please respect copyright.PENANAhCk0Wp8LAS
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.251Please respect copyright.PENANAtyMOLaiige
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?251Please respect copyright.PENANAGSEocM0gup
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.251Please respect copyright.PENANAQOa36bdDua
251Please respect copyright.PENANAc7tEIZ7dBT
Fast footsteps approached.251Please respect copyright.PENANAtsipl4xffK
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."251Please respect copyright.PENANAQrkAlrpxBC
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.251Please respect copyright.PENANAj8kKayjcBd
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."251Please respect copyright.PENANALjrXPCG5Mj
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."251Please respect copyright.PENANAkSsG9Vw56V
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.251Please respect copyright.PENANAVqeEaqzWog
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.251Please respect copyright.PENANASEdgiCuJlf
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.251Please respect copyright.PENANA1NbaqEmrYC
And maybe I'll die myself, too.251Please respect copyright.PENANA9avTifPm7F
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"251Please respect copyright.PENANAiLUZiDmlY8
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.251Please respect copyright.PENANA6OJFbe8YEJ
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."251Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ08Sv1iF9
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."251Please respect copyright.PENANAkzsyUS5qBZ
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."251Please respect copyright.PENANA0g4uKzXE4I
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."251Please respect copyright.PENANANfqAhao4So
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?"251Please respect copyright.PENANAN2S8Ei0ug1
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?251Please respect copyright.PENANAPzSi4NvjOM
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"251Please respect copyright.PENANA8jVl2U7QhY
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.251Please respect copyright.PENANA7k01oL9YS8
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. 251Please respect copyright.PENANAlorq6Y1Rk4
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.251Please respect copyright.PENANAdefjSbXmeP
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.251Please respect copyright.PENANAcXT6MpmATh
I was taken to the hospital.251Please respect copyright.PENANAhcFTVpDaxR
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.251Please respect copyright.PENANAZaotoY8GGc
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.251Please respect copyright.PENANAOkYl4NNFpv
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.251Please respect copyright.PENANAtyqaKb1Rjb
Beggars can't be choosers. 251Please respect copyright.PENANAo5ChZEZV3i
As a result, I'm alive.251Please respect copyright.PENANAGiDaHZBVTG
251Please respect copyright.PENANAf61obJypdC
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.251Please respect copyright.PENANA4WwQrNhF94
Why was he out so late?251Please respect copyright.PENANAHA6pZjes96
Why did he do all that for me?251Please respect copyright.PENANAqJkpVaOsBj
There's no way he's that perfect.251Please respect copyright.PENANAW7trmMq0QL
Did he want to have dirt on me?251Please respect copyright.PENANAXMTLJJKblk
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.251Please respect copyright.PENANAruSomJzKVV
I pretended I never heard him.251Please respect copyright.PENANAKYi6PXTYwQ
251Please respect copyright.PENANAlYssnxZfxH
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.251Please respect copyright.PENANA6xZbksX06Y
And trash will always be trash.
