I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.351Please respect copyright.PENANAihR7pyZZC6
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.351Please respect copyright.PENANA1eYgbhAnju
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.351Please respect copyright.PENANAb1shvdSk7r
351Please respect copyright.PENANAu27SU6FKq9
I'm doing better. Slightly.351Please respect copyright.PENANA8Igj9JEJuA
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.351Please respect copyright.PENANAbLI70TQoQ9
351Please respect copyright.PENANAmjn8hM4pXH
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.351Please respect copyright.PENANA7wyRXavzZ2
"I was sick."351Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mu1p4tQms
And that was it.351Please respect copyright.PENANArhKDAJdbMd
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.351Please respect copyright.PENANAx25F5uthnm
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAgifzH8D39F
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.351Please respect copyright.PENANAMbfBqFF7Gi
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.351Please respect copyright.PENANAN5ag974cIE
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
351Please respect copyright.PENANAX1UA8i6LDD
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?351Please respect copyright.PENANAIbBvsXwbSw
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.351Please respect copyright.PENANAAyL5RC77YV
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.351Please respect copyright.PENANAlUdIaLCCFR
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?351Please respect copyright.PENANAXmFDYynhV0
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,351Please respect copyright.PENANAq9BqRF4tr8
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,351Please respect copyright.PENANAGlAEuYjxcX
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.351Please respect copyright.PENANAVgxuabk4Rs
351Please respect copyright.PENANAW9EVNkKdal
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.351Please respect copyright.PENANAakYiWCx9aQ
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."351Please respect copyright.PENANAw84NNqcE0r
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.351Please respect copyright.PENANA06SpbXEE8X
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.351Please respect copyright.PENANAdJXeWMMiSg
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?351Please respect copyright.PENANA2wEiiE5JEd
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.351Please respect copyright.PENANAOwcZufRsPx
351Please respect copyright.PENANAFHYTrtIydd
Fast footsteps approached.351Please respect copyright.PENANAmRbYvOE9cK
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."351Please respect copyright.PENANAj3lyx5Enbg
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.351Please respect copyright.PENANAl4FyRoa5sN
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."351Please respect copyright.PENANAFtLRghauM9
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."351Please respect copyright.PENANAIB0JhlwKnX
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.351Please respect copyright.PENANAsV8tWM36NE
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.351Please respect copyright.PENANAnCGRs2isgp
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.351Please respect copyright.PENANAB0CHHHPnlT
And maybe I'll die myself, too.351Please respect copyright.PENANA3CwjbVcQdq
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"351Please respect copyright.PENANAl873LIK63x
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.351Please respect copyright.PENANAGTyWOCoHVn
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."351Please respect copyright.PENANAklZoGfVHV3
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."351Please respect copyright.PENANA1ljErxzm7M
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."351Please respect copyright.PENANACL5tOI1TC4
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."351Please respect copyright.PENANAVCXMkrhBbF
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?"351Please respect copyright.PENANAsXOCQwh797
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?351Please respect copyright.PENANADixVig6rVH
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"351Please respect copyright.PENANAtNIWvgVzXE
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.351Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5lxlroVrv
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. 351Please respect copyright.PENANA3wuhzDyI4V
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.351Please respect copyright.PENANAdRP2s7Vejv
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.351Please respect copyright.PENANAYXMpEnLDyx
I was taken to the hospital.351Please respect copyright.PENANAJNdMygcANf
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.351Please respect copyright.PENANA2ee7miKqe6
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.351Please respect copyright.PENANAvmM71EjrX3
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.351Please respect copyright.PENANASeM5OE6s9C
Beggars can't be choosers. 351Please respect copyright.PENANAZJKs7jF3rx
As a result, I'm alive.351Please respect copyright.PENANArAIClREJRY
351Please respect copyright.PENANAPLqxXNxUkP
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.351Please respect copyright.PENANAcG8rNvdj92
Why was he out so late?351Please respect copyright.PENANAnAllk1LCCK
Why did he do all that for me?351Please respect copyright.PENANANhJGlvWWge
There's no way he's that perfect.351Please respect copyright.PENANAyMQNFLr9Lr
Did he want to have dirt on me?351Please respect copyright.PENANA0nytRfW0mZ
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.351Please respect copyright.PENANAOvwzAm1E4j
I pretended I never heard him.351Please respect copyright.PENANAHigrA0BWOz
351Please respect copyright.PENANA3qqC4EXyQs
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.351Please respect copyright.PENANAAIJHDcl03r
And trash will always be trash.
