I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73EK1Ja1Ea
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrngDO1E80
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWE9vQMlYB
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWdATG0W8t
I'm doing better. Slightly.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO2muMBPX2
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrZ75uu1B2
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRdpnSYRbC
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsbbWEm7BO
"I was sick."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWpBCNXnyi
And that was it.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtdE0V09Wc
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueeEa15MNp
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxXLXxngfd
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkWQfMJltT
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iJIKL7YP4
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMILprHIaTN
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumv1VZJidv
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR9V4JOueI
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhjdOujzyi
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyie3KNGbD
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReMPHwXY6C
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwWW8Z9Em8
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT19ZXeaS4
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNtauhxgK
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjixOfECHz5
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOd4tbrFK4
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pUsz7SAEg
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSumpD9rWs
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNBBSD0rc3
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPza3e0pzo8
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l7QamTol7
Fast footsteps approached.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzJFrywtks
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hwfb1bQHS
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bkxQSbyUl
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN5uWhr8V6
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5OXcK3KNT
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQPDi816yI
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM9JMgVgMk
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8nePge8jF
And maybe I'll die myself, too.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9eUKyOkzS
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwApbZINWB5
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qjFnUPfpr
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGgJCu78fy
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUHMQ1K9r2
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq38WPfLcq
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRm3SuovYZ
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?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCueoCVEr0q
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWnxBv7HhZ
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALaWMTukK3
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3amOeY4Jwy
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. 241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzztjmN1Ym6
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnSH9VWItj
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVqyhv9uNt
I was taken to the hospital.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUnEWkzSS
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1oJtcAQpz
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLxujIxlx7
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.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJroPRrxO8V
Beggars can't be choosers. 241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cpACr0uPl
As a result, I'm alive.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ANhdtzWJJ
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPVGa0mDIX
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq1swVOYiM
Why was he out so late?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZaAGvA8Xw
Why did he do all that for me?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbwfwJMkOy
There's no way he's that perfect.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHcGsRgv2a
Did he want to have dirt on me?241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHR8inTreg
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp0uBrrFOG
I pretended I never heard him.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HxaQjDNSV
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDstgs61vD
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDAVcX7h6p
And trash will always be trash.
