I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.313Please respect copyright.PENANAKuta90qsY7
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.313Please respect copyright.PENANAbPfcqPryfJ
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.313Please respect copyright.PENANAo8jU7Gyucf
313Please respect copyright.PENANAvpTf88sVWH
I'm doing better. Slightly.313Please respect copyright.PENANAqrBDOOq9lO
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.313Please respect copyright.PENANAecxpNWPU6Y
313Please respect copyright.PENANA8WzFi6rlHB
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.313Please respect copyright.PENANAyOpOjfKFgz
"I was sick."313Please respect copyright.PENANA9aI9nGCJPV
And that was it.313Please respect copyright.PENANAIn3ygORpAG
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.313Please respect copyright.PENANAZG0d1fIEeV
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 313Please respect copyright.PENANAoKlBb3djvo
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.313Please respect copyright.PENANA0XnTruxB2q
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.313Please respect copyright.PENANAcInDTN6OD0
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
313Please respect copyright.PENANAUcl5IUiGTB
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?313Please respect copyright.PENANAE1q3HXMV9I
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAFAhoAkGh1A
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.313Please respect copyright.PENANAX1oXawTIDG
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?313Please respect copyright.PENANAwBfLtwPK3G
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,313Please respect copyright.PENANAqDcS8kRU0J
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,313Please respect copyright.PENANAHP8ANk1UoU
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.313Please respect copyright.PENANAXBWvNNyhcR
313Please respect copyright.PENANAokinnspbDP
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAjrs1sIlyh5
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."313Please respect copyright.PENANAu4r3oKLgZu
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.313Please respect copyright.PENANAnlvZ9xCg9d
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.313Please respect copyright.PENANAHUT9uedVUg
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?313Please respect copyright.PENANAgYInFoY0C6
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.313Please respect copyright.PENANAqICyoCtnfK
313Please respect copyright.PENANAMpvBstJxRi
Fast footsteps approached.313Please respect copyright.PENANAhIbUJChoNe
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."313Please respect copyright.PENANA9gtuWGxZ7T
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.313Please respect copyright.PENANASARluxgxMf
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."313Please respect copyright.PENANAgHCOucaiti
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."313Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zb25b2Wjt
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.313Please respect copyright.PENANAnssQgDfu0P
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.313Please respect copyright.PENANAxkWvVqOn0H
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.313Please respect copyright.PENANADXtERqK3Ym
And maybe I'll die myself, too.313Please respect copyright.PENANAA21PRbMs9E
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"313Please respect copyright.PENANAksk2oiL6WQ
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.313Please respect copyright.PENANA4eg2RT0Kww
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."313Please respect copyright.PENANA41sBpuWCzb
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."313Please respect copyright.PENANAkrdGiR3mzb
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."313Please respect copyright.PENANAJKKtSv1fGI
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."313Please respect copyright.PENANAHRcHXdbV5h
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?"313Please respect copyright.PENANAKbaGjNEJn5
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?313Please respect copyright.PENANAa5k5jLhO5Y
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"313Please respect copyright.PENANAUct6tztqgB
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.313Please respect copyright.PENANA5nq3AfZyj9
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. 313Please respect copyright.PENANAb7EdIosY5h
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.313Please respect copyright.PENANAOYnbPETF8a
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.313Please respect copyright.PENANAZFAf1md9Gj
I was taken to the hospital.313Please respect copyright.PENANAuhFjVWhjXM
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.313Please respect copyright.PENANADCDZwojacZ
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.313Please respect copyright.PENANAawIVfzpUxM
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.313Please respect copyright.PENANAKcsFTvU5tx
Beggars can't be choosers. 313Please respect copyright.PENANAwcCCi3xlLs
As a result, I'm alive.313Please respect copyright.PENANAUYUYfpEEmS
313Please respect copyright.PENANAcqfZ5Ojgxr
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.313Please respect copyright.PENANApgpQL9Oxeo
Why was he out so late?313Please respect copyright.PENANAekj4Wvq1Id
Why did he do all that for me?313Please respect copyright.PENANAA06L7H3b5Q
There's no way he's that perfect.313Please respect copyright.PENANACShwMShvCI
Did he want to have dirt on me?313Please respect copyright.PENANAUrEgImuKgU
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.313Please respect copyright.PENANA8AwLmEBElD
I pretended I never heard him.313Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y7UiHInW3
313Please respect copyright.PENANAjMlp6hG2Rw
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.313Please respect copyright.PENANALSOsVOk3PE
And trash will always be trash.
