I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.122Please respect copyright.PENANArUtLCt3ZVj
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.122Please respect copyright.PENANAJH1FcMF7XN
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.122Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZkimmS3HF
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvB3ELWpy7M
I'm doing better. Slightly.122Please respect copyright.PENANA4zT2rbBI5y
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.122Please respect copyright.PENANAQy6c9Uf2dD
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgQpAA5YDeq
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.122Please respect copyright.PENANASlaVRpK1BJ
"I was sick."122Please respect copyright.PENANAcUKFAqDcoh
And that was it.122Please respect copyright.PENANAXiGeCYX7k7
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.122Please respect copyright.PENANAAWMwJtzy3I
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 122Please respect copyright.PENANATLGaK9KCwX
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.122Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cb88Bd8GP
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.122Please respect copyright.PENANAV941XiQLZg
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2PPCjVUm8N
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?122Please respect copyright.PENANAE6aRzEWIRy
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAcgb2FOvbEp
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.122Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6XLjygCeY
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?122Please respect copyright.PENANAmNot3Uj3OP
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,122Please respect copyright.PENANAhKOygQxoLH
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,122Please respect copyright.PENANAv6ptl7QRlG
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.122Please respect copyright.PENANAXTyc641XYU
122Please respect copyright.PENANAu3EVE0Iuho
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAKMKWuUR0Lk
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."122Please respect copyright.PENANAtITaHAyiur
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.122Please respect copyright.PENANAzCVCHweXP3
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.122Please respect copyright.PENANABLRGJMfF4b
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?122Please respect copyright.PENANAuB2ScsogcH
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.122Please respect copyright.PENANAa9I7XPCsMA
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeeyPrGHbDB
Fast footsteps approached.122Please respect copyright.PENANADLyEfbFbri
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."122Please respect copyright.PENANAbngZUBBjBR
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.122Please respect copyright.PENANAbHIu01sNzM
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."122Please respect copyright.PENANAZe0ghx69Q6
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."122Please respect copyright.PENANAUnf2lPOJCm
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.122Please respect copyright.PENANAhYWPobxJ46
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.122Please respect copyright.PENANAdcAAcdTAjj
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.122Please respect copyright.PENANAs9XYZLZf19
And maybe I'll die myself, too.122Please respect copyright.PENANA5HhTDPuvwb
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"122Please respect copyright.PENANATMOpc1nQQs
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.122Please respect copyright.PENANAZfnyNqGJgl
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."122Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bzza2dWNb
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."122Please respect copyright.PENANABQ60K9V5Yv
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."122Please respect copyright.PENANAMuGJ7dvzEA
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."122Please respect copyright.PENANAkLszsD4n5H
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?"122Please respect copyright.PENANA5aBZmJNagJ
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?122Please respect copyright.PENANAHqwBrlgWpT
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"122Please respect copyright.PENANAJz5PpreJ74
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.122Please respect copyright.PENANAaIGVHVItID
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. 122Please respect copyright.PENANA8sKi8b9CeW
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.122Please respect copyright.PENANANTtimnAIBw
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.122Please respect copyright.PENANASnzvp71qxQ
I was taken to the hospital.122Please respect copyright.PENANA79jkRfdxfi
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.122Please respect copyright.PENANAxQYnzpFi34
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.122Please respect copyright.PENANAMISm7jCHF4
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.122Please respect copyright.PENANAuSv4eN68hb
Beggars can't be choosers. 122Please respect copyright.PENANAuCKIbhQXQ3
As a result, I'm alive.122Please respect copyright.PENANAof9Ap21UpV
122Please respect copyright.PENANACXZXm4XoDk
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.122Please respect copyright.PENANAZCfAnxUUYn
Why was he out so late?122Please respect copyright.PENANA1UEqOHbv9h
Why did he do all that for me?122Please respect copyright.PENANA9XjKLHQhKo
There's no way he's that perfect.122Please respect copyright.PENANAkUrPfa0Vr1
Did he want to have dirt on me?122Please respect copyright.PENANAkdMyu9PrV3
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.122Please respect copyright.PENANATdJivqhmxi
I pretended I never heard him.122Please respect copyright.PENANAvOaj2BL4Nl
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfVI5GaTI7n
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.122Please respect copyright.PENANACcW9JXOcy5
And trash will always be trash.
