I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.330Please respect copyright.PENANAi6woo0ZQOf
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.330Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zb1q5VRDn
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.330Please respect copyright.PENANAjsd4TBooV7
330Please respect copyright.PENANAGh4p1eLH0M
I'm doing better. Slightly.330Please respect copyright.PENANA52p346ktsq
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.330Please respect copyright.PENANAf5q9CKS4cW
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbH2ul8k5xI
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.330Please respect copyright.PENANAtaTkOSDKqQ
"I was sick."330Please respect copyright.PENANAHyA19VzXEs
And that was it.330Please respect copyright.PENANANXkIpyvRxp
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.330Please respect copyright.PENANAmdXU8FqWBl
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAJFNOiZrS3E
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.330Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZyPymhqqu
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.330Please respect copyright.PENANAToU0kTREqH
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWg2WLZIetA
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?330Please respect copyright.PENANALIGjHFe2Db
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAwhu6W5SU04
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.330Please respect copyright.PENANAQTUlCg1RdE
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?330Please respect copyright.PENANARK38Nh8PSV
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,330Please respect copyright.PENANAjP1Ip9SjMs
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,330Please respect copyright.PENANAoCnG6O6o0j
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.330Please respect copyright.PENANAHFOcJbhWqi
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2m5n95Kwm4
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAc0icpJRJZ8
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."330Please respect copyright.PENANAH4StNKb90v
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.330Please respect copyright.PENANAnGwEli9M1E
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.330Please respect copyright.PENANA4i0Z0UEpSQ
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?330Please respect copyright.PENANAfrPUXQTSf1
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.330Please respect copyright.PENANANBu9VXBjtw
330Please respect copyright.PENANAS5KJQ5c869
Fast footsteps approached.330Please respect copyright.PENANADjob0qJzCc
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."330Please respect copyright.PENANAbb48CG4CNA
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.330Please respect copyright.PENANAblzKbiaKNR
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."330Please respect copyright.PENANA4gRo3zmLc9
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."330Please respect copyright.PENANAUaKsPSZC9D
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.330Please respect copyright.PENANAF6MCDsYSVF
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.330Please respect copyright.PENANAoJbURjQSTA
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.330Please respect copyright.PENANAWV8PIQ81u0
And maybe I'll die myself, too.330Please respect copyright.PENANALJ8zlxdySW
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"330Please respect copyright.PENANAQM7Djt7fXS
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.330Please respect copyright.PENANAWjXmPQjNVx
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."330Please respect copyright.PENANAecyFFTsZgF
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."330Please respect copyright.PENANA6jUnHTpYt6
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."330Please respect copyright.PENANAOWmTrPugs5
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."330Please respect copyright.PENANArTtM91IL4P
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?"330Please respect copyright.PENANAB8gROo6pOM
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?330Please respect copyright.PENANAGG3kpRXPei
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"330Please respect copyright.PENANAQSln0SvLBC
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.330Please respect copyright.PENANA8FekUPIetk
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. 330Please respect copyright.PENANATMTC2VAvb0
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.330Please respect copyright.PENANAq7boYF9F9K
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.330Please respect copyright.PENANAc4nFVdDtEF
I was taken to the hospital.330Please respect copyright.PENANAMiTT9LTsFt
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.330Please respect copyright.PENANAXP75D9LUlM
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.330Please respect copyright.PENANAFypxdkwWww
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANA9zOmHAgR8e
Beggars can't be choosers. 330Please respect copyright.PENANALM8i6dYBgN
As a result, I'm alive.330Please respect copyright.PENANA2hBAURv2Od
330Please respect copyright.PENANAdGfBB0pYxi
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.330Please respect copyright.PENANADzY73PNvQU
Why was he out so late?330Please respect copyright.PENANAWzo5JQJHoD
Why did he do all that for me?330Please respect copyright.PENANA6vuzjV1ipu
There's no way he's that perfect.330Please respect copyright.PENANAq6GRaHo1iU
Did he want to have dirt on me?330Please respect copyright.PENANAGOSKZmw50e
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.330Please respect copyright.PENANAMnKYeAUrmM
I pretended I never heard him.330Please respect copyright.PENANAAzueExVAWk
330Please respect copyright.PENANAjC1QuG1Uzf
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.330Please respect copyright.PENANAzhShhV6ClY
And trash will always be trash.
