I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.348Please respect copyright.PENANAzzzQ8ldBt5
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.348Please respect copyright.PENANAspHaeN62rB
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.348Please respect copyright.PENANA0Unu6IVFEy
348Please respect copyright.PENANAhHAfaoD8SE
I'm doing better. Slightly.348Please respect copyright.PENANAd5sHR7NZDh
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.348Please respect copyright.PENANA03oaF2DDJA
348Please respect copyright.PENANAD5mgugl4k5
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.348Please respect copyright.PENANAs90uKBqO2i
"I was sick."348Please respect copyright.PENANA3MLB9EcABA
And that was it.348Please respect copyright.PENANArITXi60vEw
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.348Please respect copyright.PENANAJKn3IMbreg
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAddp870Nwf0
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.348Please respect copyright.PENANAMVn48Aptyy
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.348Please respect copyright.PENANA55Oi77yDh5
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAjYUKgAhPRW
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?348Please respect copyright.PENANAMedXhwYiPJ
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAw83CLz3v3Y
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.348Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Xx64i97U
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?348Please respect copyright.PENANAl6c6ySHHpd
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,348Please respect copyright.PENANAQjrsDXY67Z
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,348Please respect copyright.PENANApo4yNxQMEL
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.348Please respect copyright.PENANAquRlqND3bo
348Please respect copyright.PENANA7fTChreVmh
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAIzvh2gcUpR
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."348Please respect copyright.PENANAwPPtMjHRAN
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.348Please respect copyright.PENANAznofJZAeTM
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.348Please respect copyright.PENANAZ34cE6KNU7
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?348Please respect copyright.PENANAMTsfPbCTSg
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.348Please respect copyright.PENANALT5JfAMx2h
348Please respect copyright.PENANA9WkRUpdpGE
Fast footsteps approached.348Please respect copyright.PENANAgMIrUawjd6
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."348Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5w2eLM5BX
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.348Please respect copyright.PENANAQmRWpB2LZ6
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."348Please respect copyright.PENANALPCSPZk1NA
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."348Please respect copyright.PENANABbh6UUnCZ4
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.348Please respect copyright.PENANACxO9gS3koR
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.348Please respect copyright.PENANAbAaifMxgYl
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.348Please respect copyright.PENANAe4b6Oi2Mxx
And maybe I'll die myself, too.348Please respect copyright.PENANA9l6g9EYaep
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"348Please respect copyright.PENANAMiDInZNGaN
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.348Please respect copyright.PENANAdL8jJM6anl
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."348Please respect copyright.PENANAjGNJSO0xPu
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."348Please respect copyright.PENANAslLOyQLu6K
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."348Please respect copyright.PENANAqNI8dUSXDN
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."348Please respect copyright.PENANAAqP3zCNEN4
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?"348Please respect copyright.PENANA5pBfv1p3fc
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?348Please respect copyright.PENANAwGQt4cDiFR
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"348Please respect copyright.PENANAZUkW4HRvAK
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.348Please respect copyright.PENANAdw7l0Yilc4
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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAqG8dpBO7sg
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.348Please respect copyright.PENANAvgUsX7e81l
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.348Please respect copyright.PENANAEypGirRSFS
I was taken to the hospital.348Please respect copyright.PENANAYlHFCKr3gZ
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.348Please respect copyright.PENANA1tGyLDvCca
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.348Please respect copyright.PENANAeT0KUi3jZb
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAaehvp7OPLG
Beggars can't be choosers. 348Please respect copyright.PENANALqhYs4Fp4T
As a result, I'm alive.348Please respect copyright.PENANA5iqMVEUZ4t
348Please respect copyright.PENANATAA75TymGB
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.348Please respect copyright.PENANAQObbJJOVPU
Why was he out so late?348Please respect copyright.PENANA5fx6JoZniD
Why did he do all that for me?348Please respect copyright.PENANA0KwdWB236b
There's no way he's that perfect.348Please respect copyright.PENANAGKxdvHKrKV
Did he want to have dirt on me?348Please respect copyright.PENANAvVXOb2lHVX
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.348Please respect copyright.PENANASRF8q2Apim
I pretended I never heard him.348Please respect copyright.PENANATw1QX6ZAQv
348Please respect copyright.PENANABImwDeNACt
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.348Please respect copyright.PENANAMOhtXnekUY
And trash will always be trash.
