I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.277Please respect copyright.PENANAhZjQU9zkYb
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.277Please respect copyright.PENANAtcO1n5VDsF
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.277Please respect copyright.PENANANlPXrqlQUp
277Please respect copyright.PENANASRcLdlu91q
I'm doing better. Slightly.277Please respect copyright.PENANARCaQ6ugBP6
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.277Please respect copyright.PENANAmUmUZbkYp5
277Please respect copyright.PENANADvzInedo7u
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.277Please respect copyright.PENANAzpwNQj31uO
"I was sick."277Please respect copyright.PENANAShwKOSQ4Ls
And that was it.277Please respect copyright.PENANAuHPr4LBW3x
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.277Please respect copyright.PENANAajtCWHRt9h
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 277Please respect copyright.PENANATjI03COBcN
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.277Please respect copyright.PENANASvUXxTroio
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.277Please respect copyright.PENANA4C4pCxlqvU
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA21qlV5jPaO
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?277Please respect copyright.PENANAFzJ41ovMo0
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.277Please respect copyright.PENANA6M3OMeRv0r
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.277Please respect copyright.PENANAVPJIxK1c0N
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?277Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ0DmEQ4GC
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,277Please respect copyright.PENANA69pdcfcgjP
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,277Please respect copyright.PENANAkuNQvzj46j
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.277Please respect copyright.PENANA610W4K2mhD
277Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lcwh01BRc
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.277Please respect copyright.PENANAKun9Fleer2
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."277Please respect copyright.PENANAyiOYX6YfQP
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.277Please respect copyright.PENANACGrZbRZcHP
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.277Please respect copyright.PENANAOhayIA8CTl
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?277Please respect copyright.PENANAEZAEPsfX3D
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.277Please respect copyright.PENANAwQB9Lcx5l2
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1lCbuxZZWB
Fast footsteps approached.277Please respect copyright.PENANAEb1lUIGvrN
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."277Please respect copyright.PENANArgNmCGxqkg
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.277Please respect copyright.PENANAT42eSF4GFD
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."277Please respect copyright.PENANAPC2W6jOU11
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."277Please respect copyright.PENANAOEikSE3aKr
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.277Please respect copyright.PENANAq8Imidq2x5
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.277Please respect copyright.PENANAqfI0ADjw2E
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.277Please respect copyright.PENANA6IHzWWzYvY
And maybe I'll die myself, too.277Please respect copyright.PENANAvxBPjQeQW4
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAyCaBBD6Pm2
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.277Please respect copyright.PENANAiW4wtXqbMd
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."277Please respect copyright.PENANAT87ZBgYQvh
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."277Please respect copyright.PENANAZhagHno7M4
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."277Please respect copyright.PENANAwRjIsq5Nvg
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."277Please respect copyright.PENANATOrbB2bNBl
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?"277Please respect copyright.PENANAxmuDocG9Cv
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?277Please respect copyright.PENANAXewDJoyJTv
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"277Please respect copyright.PENANAzQFFsQYVLl
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.277Please respect copyright.PENANAc7RnQt8Gw0
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. 277Please respect copyright.PENANAmhmlczlJWO
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.277Please respect copyright.PENANAuv9qhUHSNM
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.277Please respect copyright.PENANAuBoA5fExwB
I was taken to the hospital.277Please respect copyright.PENANA2bgnkzyRA4
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.277Please respect copyright.PENANAvCREzp63e2
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.277Please respect copyright.PENANAi3cNewqqPX
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.277Please respect copyright.PENANAvnvGMgGKle
Beggars can't be choosers. 277Please respect copyright.PENANAiAyV3LNFWe
As a result, I'm alive.277Please respect copyright.PENANA4OB9H9JVSY
277Please respect copyright.PENANAO88CO0wrUV
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.277Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ1v8I6PEP
Why was he out so late?277Please respect copyright.PENANAAFkJEzcyPw
Why did he do all that for me?277Please respect copyright.PENANAF8dSu6NtzP
There's no way he's that perfect.277Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ZskNhs5q
Did he want to have dirt on me?277Please respect copyright.PENANAHrARicqN1d
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.277Please respect copyright.PENANAit6hHvqYm9
I pretended I never heard him.277Please respect copyright.PENANADUpPS9cRvL
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAJXjk703mD
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.277Please respect copyright.PENANAmclxahOl27
And trash will always be trash.
