I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.311Please respect copyright.PENANA3o9GjE6JwD
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.311Please respect copyright.PENANADZG6f7KCb1
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.311Please respect copyright.PENANAS4h739bEeO
311Please respect copyright.PENANAIqvvtzMCKf
I'm doing better. Slightly.311Please respect copyright.PENANAaaVMfDPujL
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.311Please respect copyright.PENANAdOPgskE8SE
311Please respect copyright.PENANAwE5WdIH5IX
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.311Please respect copyright.PENANAbsfDNOTj6H
"I was sick."311Please respect copyright.PENANApT0u7fETf6
And that was it.311Please respect copyright.PENANAub7AoDckAg
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.311Please respect copyright.PENANAR1P7nxquEW
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 311Please respect copyright.PENANA8dmdsMS1xZ
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.311Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y60305FUP
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.311Please respect copyright.PENANAmcK6QqNdsg
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAMN9AMswjJG
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?311Please respect copyright.PENANAn6lBD1CTrE
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAaz57da0t4m
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.311Please respect copyright.PENANANpvpIs5Ru8
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?311Please respect copyright.PENANAVIuRMF1jeu
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,311Please respect copyright.PENANAefiDyFlwcd
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,311Please respect copyright.PENANAnqBnKgzUbf
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.311Please respect copyright.PENANAeBOf75K7Kr
311Please respect copyright.PENANAizY5V56o6h
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANADXlIuCcQrT
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."311Please respect copyright.PENANAjtCQdPU0uY
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.311Please respect copyright.PENANAVA4HonbNU2
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.311Please respect copyright.PENANAczkidFyKyk
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?311Please respect copyright.PENANAxkHo1rCaTh
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.311Please respect copyright.PENANASP4ti9oRYa
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYfwdTiRaNm
Fast footsteps approached.311Please respect copyright.PENANAthh34crutc
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."311Please respect copyright.PENANABw2xNFV5H8
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.311Please respect copyright.PENANAIyxu4lIZr5
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."311Please respect copyright.PENANA8n3ETCEk3F
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."311Please respect copyright.PENANABBo3F3yxlb
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.311Please respect copyright.PENANAsScVe5Ec5M
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.311Please respect copyright.PENANA96sjD0s1CB
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.311Please respect copyright.PENANA3vIN4aHCwp
And maybe I'll die myself, too.311Please respect copyright.PENANAVlGca5pgNK
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"311Please respect copyright.PENANAW5EwrvjeBI
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.311Please respect copyright.PENANAb5GMXjqfTd
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."311Please respect copyright.PENANAekY7dQFZLs
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."311Please respect copyright.PENANAeGs9l9Udxj
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."311Please respect copyright.PENANAU20vEs5B2u
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."311Please respect copyright.PENANAgFlf6F4KfG
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?"311Please respect copyright.PENANAI4hzAQMrlN
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?311Please respect copyright.PENANAGK11PNIyVs
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"311Please respect copyright.PENANAPK2p1jD8F6
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.311Please respect copyright.PENANA1ry1MujQ6R
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. 311Please respect copyright.PENANA0F4x7GYEET
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.311Please respect copyright.PENANACQh3toDxvU
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.311Please respect copyright.PENANAK8fSQ6sxeF
I was taken to the hospital.311Please respect copyright.PENANAyGiqcnRRhm
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.311Please respect copyright.PENANAzli0yaOTei
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.311Please respect copyright.PENANAmdLm7z1UJ0
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANABysw0D4dNe
Beggars can't be choosers. 311Please respect copyright.PENANAuDSOVj3CxR
As a result, I'm alive.311Please respect copyright.PENANAbzefck07tA
311Please respect copyright.PENANAb4lz0zAbvV
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.311Please respect copyright.PENANAw7QuQ8GeGs
Why was he out so late?311Please respect copyright.PENANAMgMMbmzy9e
Why did he do all that for me?311Please respect copyright.PENANAuLvnjSdaqS
There's no way he's that perfect.311Please respect copyright.PENANAyVHL5fz7lu
Did he want to have dirt on me?311Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8A0TfsMLK
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.311Please respect copyright.PENANAV3uYkH6dQd
I pretended I never heard him.311Please respect copyright.PENANAJXNwnxwAo5
311Please respect copyright.PENANANri77CofIr
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.311Please respect copyright.PENANAdykhMG344d
And trash will always be trash.
