I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.318Please respect copyright.PENANApcAZkJ7Nq2
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.318Please respect copyright.PENANAX3zxeMxrvl
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.318Please respect copyright.PENANAPXAlJTpbkX
318Please respect copyright.PENANA1JF9ZcHsE9
I'm doing better. Slightly.318Please respect copyright.PENANAnMrYymSUuT
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.318Please respect copyright.PENANACTW03A8IqR
318Please respect copyright.PENANAaieBgIPf47
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.318Please respect copyright.PENANAb5d2lkqVeP
"I was sick."318Please respect copyright.PENANAIi3SVpiRFk
And that was it.318Please respect copyright.PENANAvggAFu7A7y
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.318Please respect copyright.PENANAbpghC6vgL5
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 318Please respect copyright.PENANAIe9HefBoc1
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.318Please respect copyright.PENANAGAdc8GCVwJ
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.318Please respect copyright.PENANA8fti1rR3OH
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
318Please respect copyright.PENANAl2qrC6VEvL
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?318Please respect copyright.PENANAyCW5sUTTGX
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANANP2FSka7Cj
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.318Please respect copyright.PENANAOUGEqE2IEG
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?318Please respect copyright.PENANAxNKTpVFXes
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,318Please respect copyright.PENANAvz0Nwly7tj
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,318Please respect copyright.PENANAgOknW4isXe
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.318Please respect copyright.PENANAx6LBCi2UFD
318Please respect copyright.PENANAYYVGZzY55f
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANA4vkuJVWrnt
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."318Please respect copyright.PENANA95ilR1wFDJ
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.318Please respect copyright.PENANA9O2CYNIaWm
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.318Please respect copyright.PENANAxXQYKwFZis
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?318Please respect copyright.PENANAKYrTve8z9n
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.318Please respect copyright.PENANAYmnUq17ypw
318Please respect copyright.PENANARDKxL1DdkU
Fast footsteps approached.318Please respect copyright.PENANAB2o0XVyYMe
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."318Please respect copyright.PENANAmHP1n0GP2Y
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.318Please respect copyright.PENANArAW5IzBDlp
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."318Please respect copyright.PENANAW0D9RA5oMG
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."318Please respect copyright.PENANA5pIFSGcEvd
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.318Please respect copyright.PENANAcqjlcXLxfY
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.318Please respect copyright.PENANA3MWSC4n0Q0
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.318Please respect copyright.PENANAityWa6T6dk
And maybe I'll die myself, too.318Please respect copyright.PENANA233VBFQvE4
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"318Please respect copyright.PENANA2oCsxhKtZ1
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.318Please respect copyright.PENANAt3ifBlRL0F
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."318Please respect copyright.PENANAIG41j7uqV3
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."318Please respect copyright.PENANAHYy9y3pBr1
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."318Please respect copyright.PENANAN0adSrQkPd
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."318Please respect copyright.PENANA7PPqWOl0FD
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?"318Please respect copyright.PENANAwRb3RYXWpD
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?318Please respect copyright.PENANAP1eEkJexnX
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"318Please respect copyright.PENANAwKtOtitSiM
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.318Please respect copyright.PENANApQHAfvdklH
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. 318Please respect copyright.PENANAFfdTzxQHur
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.318Please respect copyright.PENANA6JRzPvPMdp
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.318Please respect copyright.PENANAcCcGYJZ9hz
I was taken to the hospital.318Please respect copyright.PENANAJGWQejCOzJ
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.318Please respect copyright.PENANARQxu4Zdroi
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.318Please respect copyright.PENANA5F6zbJtZ4j
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.318Please respect copyright.PENANAxgatvWbK0I
Beggars can't be choosers. 318Please respect copyright.PENANAlwOqC7UPVi
As a result, I'm alive.318Please respect copyright.PENANA3GWvb8xAjz
318Please respect copyright.PENANAxf60p1rPdG
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.318Please respect copyright.PENANAi94jXhGWM6
Why was he out so late?318Please respect copyright.PENANAXkdj3TFphT
Why did he do all that for me?318Please respect copyright.PENANAh27BjO0wFY
There's no way he's that perfect.318Please respect copyright.PENANAVotON196So
Did he want to have dirt on me?318Please respect copyright.PENANA52mylOleAb
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.318Please respect copyright.PENANANib6zEkwPD
I pretended I never heard him.318Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uc8wHGEPu
318Please respect copyright.PENANAikg6w9JXxn
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.318Please respect copyright.PENANAuB6uGHArno
And trash will always be trash.
