I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.307Please respect copyright.PENANAzgnWH4ayyA
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.307Please respect copyright.PENANArvl9DOxkRK
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.307Please respect copyright.PENANAZgJaPrKgcX
307Please respect copyright.PENANADMX2zcUA8H
I'm doing better. Slightly.307Please respect copyright.PENANAQLdlxEaaxT
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.307Please respect copyright.PENANAMOQzyxABKY
307Please respect copyright.PENANAatuzMjoIjB
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.307Please respect copyright.PENANAyihUljL9Ie
"I was sick."307Please respect copyright.PENANAmLT6btAwWb
And that was it.307Please respect copyright.PENANAPKZ00rcAm5
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjrdc0JB2EL
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 307Please respect copyright.PENANAxjuhXU7dyr
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.307Please respect copyright.PENANADJyBkEtWyf
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnFrp1sQpEk
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoHEN5xOQqG
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?307Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Fj0JN29l
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAbDoowtqOQf
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.307Please respect copyright.PENANAqzpDGMpm2L
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?307Please respect copyright.PENANAIF9jjD5atc
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,307Please respect copyright.PENANAKCiO3poVMu
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,307Please respect copyright.PENANA9mmf8xOHGq
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.307Please respect copyright.PENANAh1AlKTJwgd
307Please respect copyright.PENANAaAk5elX7Z5
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANACzWjTZeOqk
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."307Please respect copyright.PENANAB5g2TyAiZc
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7GAB552YjP
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.307Please respect copyright.PENANAAOJezKrQO7
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?307Please respect copyright.PENANAK3q6ZgZaKZ
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.307Please respect copyright.PENANApe1X0bKKKM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkBa11j7Cb2
Fast footsteps approached.307Please respect copyright.PENANALFD5jkRyYu
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."307Please respect copyright.PENANAjFzuItFFWn
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.307Please respect copyright.PENANA37UBggoW4v
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."307Please respect copyright.PENANAs2kK4cmuq0
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."307Please respect copyright.PENANAx7aeM8xS4y
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.307Please respect copyright.PENANAeDP6NF6LYd
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7oolJiXTZP
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.307Please respect copyright.PENANA3kp6NuWNdA
And maybe I'll die myself, too.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7bnxhMjhBD
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAUkKtNGnmLb
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.307Please respect copyright.PENANA1HYc9XJiZY
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."307Please respect copyright.PENANAsYxyjUsA90
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."307Please respect copyright.PENANAK3j7mzxQIt
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."307Please respect copyright.PENANA5TKtxmrIhy
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."307Please respect copyright.PENANAS3wImNmecF
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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAM6feYfVCmj
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?307Please respect copyright.PENANARb5HpJlyp8
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"307Please respect copyright.PENANAVoQE37yPUz
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOqYiTz3itF
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. 307Please respect copyright.PENANAMXDbxBMXyS
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.307Please respect copyright.PENANAYLu00vIuC4
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGxl2V2TlfX
I was taken to the hospital.307Please respect copyright.PENANA2f3zbH1yPa
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.307Please respect copyright.PENANANuXqZXroNV
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.307Please respect copyright.PENANADiqKgIthQR
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA6I5yWmI5sc
Beggars can't be choosers. 307Please respect copyright.PENANA9FEOBqVv2R
As a result, I'm alive.307Please respect copyright.PENANAAQuhrSTmoC
307Please respect copyright.PENANATEpGVNiiTy
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAqydITQ6miV
Why was he out so late?307Please respect copyright.PENANAW4B3aEnLbq
Why did he do all that for me?307Please respect copyright.PENANAaWBtQgmrb8
There's no way he's that perfect.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOLUNOnEMLo
Did he want to have dirt on me?307Please respect copyright.PENANAcIyJQB2Roh
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.307Please respect copyright.PENANAaIXTiqX1RV
I pretended I never heard him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAgzYHgSFwPW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAISczeS6kfi
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGE3FvKM2q0
And trash will always be trash.
