I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0TJmgz75w
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseIkiOrarw
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwvMsUJ0Ty
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQtKAK6CKe
I'm doing better. Slightly.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxyzntoFz
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz4uvECLeD
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiN49Spy69
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR1iujHKAk
"I was sick."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd9JPU6UCg
And that was it.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDczOjoInJX
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsmZL1qAbC
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2zqE5Uics
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66JMLT3gLY
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAf2rkxEc
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpa3CyZIUd
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwPtDL3Q5Q
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7RZbEWBti
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSI8z9GHkq
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6bLvTHtfy
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFQB2OmjTI
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiH6qkVBMc
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvmDqXtA4T
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13gw1CBjWC
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZaLIN66Kt
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhI9IJVRKa
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvApCAhzAsT
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XnyTESPtI
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1wmzbushP
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVMX8JkUnY
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoATHQPSum1
Fast footsteps approached.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2HfTM2Gca
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6wYhfsmWU
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvdFh9aWXV
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeqaiF9rFq
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGqypkg69i
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzssistCTZ
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwy3xzyAd
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ouObAKPXG
And maybe I'll die myself, too.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO03Xi4pTp9
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03AYdhA07t
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSbXOjVGRx
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uQYrez1VZ
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoelRys0Ol
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8OPOxMcOZ
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xQ64fF8rf
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?"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j6lO6V4b3
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSZicyh2oZ
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yAr8iTGx
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHABd0q17t
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. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmeQE2zaiu
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrVfCxLyfE
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUuDOu4LoV
I was taken to the hospital.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn8nFG4g2j
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7WLlIum0L
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVWVVJPhcU
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwWN33RKEr
Beggars can't be choosers. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz2RfLDXdJ
As a result, I'm alive.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Gz8j2enj
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjNayRW7BE
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUglHX8J92I
Why was he out so late?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh0thvrQqR
Why did he do all that for me?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJFooCfHVS
There's no way he's that perfect.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQMt0Sq0Yb
Did he want to have dirt on me?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGVb1PXw8
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFabpW7PLuE
I pretended I never heard him.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOE7wt8W1q
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUdj8a6iv
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5PPhAIQtC
And trash will always be trash.
