I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.430Please respect copyright.PENANAgIs9qP35As
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.430Please respect copyright.PENANAakryMm1Lz1
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.430Please respect copyright.PENANA1KmzwOZeMC
430Please respect copyright.PENANAqxKBgS2Nt1
I'm doing better. Slightly.430Please respect copyright.PENANAbYO5rwcw5s
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.430Please respect copyright.PENANAma5lYBrtAu
430Please respect copyright.PENANA3vBVZgoFLJ
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.430Please respect copyright.PENANAqt5YDt4jAZ
"I was sick."430Please respect copyright.PENANA8FqMk5Wl9Z
And that was it.430Please respect copyright.PENANATV73Q8t1Z7
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.430Please respect copyright.PENANAlPgTZoP5Xg
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 430Please respect copyright.PENANACH0TFaeobT
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.430Please respect copyright.PENANAEayLzvENN0
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.430Please respect copyright.PENANAA21Sa6OdfY
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAP4VzgfTBte
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?430Please respect copyright.PENANAiBzerfVLBd
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.430Please respect copyright.PENANA84UgOkolmF
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.430Please respect copyright.PENANAEcwNgSDzqp
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?430Please respect copyright.PENANAsJsAGHdTui
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,430Please respect copyright.PENANAD89Q15s4CP
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,430Please respect copyright.PENANAuXXCVzG6vX
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.430Please respect copyright.PENANAOMIfLOkx6G
430Please respect copyright.PENANANhqWQ1dyQi
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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAZQEcPdnvwJ
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."430Please respect copyright.PENANAj55RBKxOgb
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.430Please respect copyright.PENANAWwpQRAiFxm
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.430Please respect copyright.PENANAIZdRupdcbH
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?430Please respect copyright.PENANAIVTsK3PYm4
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.430Please respect copyright.PENANAI7N1IEs2bv
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOh7QoYOGo4
Fast footsteps approached.430Please respect copyright.PENANAVMg5H6L7ox
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."430Please respect copyright.PENANAS5zOCE8RFK
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.430Please respect copyright.PENANAa5bf5JPmIi
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."430Please respect copyright.PENANAj7WcrAXQJn
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."430Please respect copyright.PENANAg7G24fVLlE
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.430Please respect copyright.PENANAl1QEMWzW7i
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.430Please respect copyright.PENANACdyomHhLK1
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.430Please respect copyright.PENANAmTBKAZOUL9
And maybe I'll die myself, too.430Please respect copyright.PENANAMQiUsE4df6
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"430Please respect copyright.PENANASAol2SkgZx
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.430Please respect copyright.PENANAugqJiJrulV
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."430Please respect copyright.PENANAKqORFX4wRj
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."430Please respect copyright.PENANAH1XBmWRTid
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."430Please respect copyright.PENANADj9ULDFzIE
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."430Please respect copyright.PENANAUle6lUcme3
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?"430Please respect copyright.PENANASk4OgsHmTj
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?430Please respect copyright.PENANAjb9BOsOLCX
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"430Please respect copyright.PENANAx2LBj84OID
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.430Please respect copyright.PENANA4dyPaf8al6
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. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAqLN87R7izv
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.430Please respect copyright.PENANAWcktFVCWlP
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.430Please respect copyright.PENANAcDWdGlNURu
I was taken to the hospital.430Please respect copyright.PENANAS6nQ8LoN5q
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.430Please respect copyright.PENANA8OkCyFQOV7
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.430Please respect copyright.PENANA24dlIc9FmM
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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAEjZLTCrP0L
Beggars can't be choosers. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAesmYyswjut
As a result, I'm alive.430Please respect copyright.PENANAdMpMBqaFU8
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdwrVEDYCuL
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.430Please respect copyright.PENANAZqf6iWtvva
Why was he out so late?430Please respect copyright.PENANARphlEeDeXw
Why did he do all that for me?430Please respect copyright.PENANA5nssMYByt8
There's no way he's that perfect.430Please respect copyright.PENANA1kfz9qbM8r
Did he want to have dirt on me?430Please respect copyright.PENANA1BceMKZhEp
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.430Please respect copyright.PENANAKrCpGDOm3a
I pretended I never heard him.430Please respect copyright.PENANANtKLt4FwrD
430Please respect copyright.PENANAleSIg0kFvB
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.430Please respect copyright.PENANAqJK6xsXLGJ
And trash will always be trash.
