I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bcjwt0XgL
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXvne6asxd
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWM6GSI9TV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGWd4AvLeq
I'm doing better. Slightly.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoikBkSTWlS
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdx8E68LXy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5zlYzD0Db
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zyh4AisX
"I was sick."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJqqnIOUKk
And that was it.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc82ozAH3j7
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uo7gIbE69
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALlyMuRHVO
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuq0E9usj9
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtwq0tLpmp
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxSEG153ih
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkYHyJCtI5
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XnhdixeQL
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud891xS0Mk
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPSlc25AtO
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoVXIHul7o
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC4eOuUeZZ
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH332Ov2Ttu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcyox6uObP
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0BSArCck9
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDiXz3w2Un
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakcIJ9v6jP
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kT0YJFS2l
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF8MLBxP02
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuN0jq9KAy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbuFGAKYHo
Fast footsteps approached.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9TtIQ1UM6
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkWb63UzaQ
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYcYjrh76e
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodqHFulxoH
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlnJHCy55d
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNbCUQGoVU
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ87F4Nbv2
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv04QZSGKa
And maybe I'll die myself, too.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAzrep9iW3
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2WD2esRaH
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lo6GZ1ixB
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1x17CBPnm
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIqLFwK68w
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3OpOdukPO
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl2EsRS09P
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?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPcMtAFnMm
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QdZqulfG
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JQzSai6z8
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DPNMCWo2B
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. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26tV03dFjY
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqflKgquc8
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgCVrwBsuf
I was taken to the hospital.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5av1KCOR4
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGce2WjhZu
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBumYDhygqw
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tuGnT6KdK
Beggars can't be choosers. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsywl3LWW5
As a result, I'm alive.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkFnz39sls
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvOjQSNZA7
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OBBmE8yMD
Why was he out so late?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDhpmlSj1
Why did he do all that for me?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnW5DuXZy
There's no way he's that perfect.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVW87xl8Qt
Did he want to have dirt on me?299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze16VJq9ZD
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhlJruGKkV
I pretended I never heard him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXyM5zgX3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMV4TZHM0b
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNqQllQouJ
And trash will always be trash.
