I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.342Please respect copyright.PENANAxa7gH9Al1A
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.342Please respect copyright.PENANAhpF4zgwUh4
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.342Please respect copyright.PENANAzdkShuxeLw
342Please respect copyright.PENANA7POa1D5ANf
I'm doing better. Slightly.342Please respect copyright.PENANAxwm9iNJifF
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.342Please respect copyright.PENANAvjTKQWUT9q
342Please respect copyright.PENANAXS9jUNuRJ4
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.342Please respect copyright.PENANA3xpPkNcjJy
"I was sick."342Please respect copyright.PENANAlGn2DXcos7
And that was it.342Please respect copyright.PENANAUYoHDIaX59
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.342Please respect copyright.PENANAoVP92TVnZ9
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 342Please respect copyright.PENANAYwaLRasEDy
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.342Please respect copyright.PENANAfTqRb9CmjS
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.342Please respect copyright.PENANAxnq6SGRorD
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAHAcGp1CN82
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?342Please respect copyright.PENANAxoQRHsy4Oo
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.342Please respect copyright.PENANAaZLPUIWMZr
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.342Please respect copyright.PENANAb1M8fowR5N
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?342Please respect copyright.PENANAPe2M1aXSx5
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,342Please respect copyright.PENANAIgRnY3dhnF
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,342Please respect copyright.PENANAXtIK2lrvyP
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.342Please respect copyright.PENANAJNKyVV6LF5
342Please respect copyright.PENANAvdXBGZyq8w
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.342Please respect copyright.PENANAksuBRfgFBU
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."342Please respect copyright.PENANAEoeHSLl7Q0
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.342Please respect copyright.PENANAwKVghfr7Y8
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.342Please respect copyright.PENANAlkYq5Li7QM
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?342Please respect copyright.PENANAhVV19xoHCD
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.342Please respect copyright.PENANAFyOagH3kRR
342Please respect copyright.PENANApWlztEqBgC
Fast footsteps approached.342Please respect copyright.PENANAyu2nI4gTji
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."342Please respect copyright.PENANAZeyMbJ2Wce
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.342Please respect copyright.PENANAbdNW4G8JM1
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."342Please respect copyright.PENANAScdsqZ7edR
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."342Please respect copyright.PENANAMuYJoDvClY
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.342Please respect copyright.PENANArLvBzyCv1Q
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.342Please respect copyright.PENANAisrFFY6w7r
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.342Please respect copyright.PENANAql2sQFody6
And maybe I'll die myself, too.342Please respect copyright.PENANAtoHcV2fUbg
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"342Please respect copyright.PENANARzXCfOohOC
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.342Please respect copyright.PENANA7ST02rI8T6
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."342Please respect copyright.PENANAdkqdJ1sCYQ
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."342Please respect copyright.PENANAqKykcgCQv8
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."342Please respect copyright.PENANAGjpYP0XQy9
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."342Please respect copyright.PENANAzeloCc8Als
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?"342Please respect copyright.PENANA94heC9GITB
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?342Please respect copyright.PENANA3OAkWWVP1S
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"342Please respect copyright.PENANAjE9Z0OLZY5
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.342Please respect copyright.PENANAWaqDkAjOfR
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. 342Please respect copyright.PENANA2nGbyslhPo
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.342Please respect copyright.PENANA6UjdNtRdqd
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.342Please respect copyright.PENANAPGx2ldplqE
I was taken to the hospital.342Please respect copyright.PENANAXgrjZPkWji
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.342Please respect copyright.PENANAW6qf4ECP8z
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.342Please respect copyright.PENANAiQldagHYlu
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.342Please respect copyright.PENANAQvPQMvgvzq
Beggars can't be choosers. 342Please respect copyright.PENANA6XuKbfwwFw
As a result, I'm alive.342Please respect copyright.PENANANRJP3KV2Dj
342Please respect copyright.PENANALigqpbo9cG
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.342Please respect copyright.PENANAHPPcM0fryp
Why was he out so late?342Please respect copyright.PENANAgrbZLpyKfv
Why did he do all that for me?342Please respect copyright.PENANAE6xxRSM5cZ
There's no way he's that perfect.342Please respect copyright.PENANAFZDfQtudtl
Did he want to have dirt on me?342Please respect copyright.PENANAVYigAJtUId
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.342Please respect copyright.PENANAh72Hn9fgAE
I pretended I never heard him.342Please respect copyright.PENANAkhcivGnu2D
342Please respect copyright.PENANAb08MN6DmoV
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.342Please respect copyright.PENANAu7lusUkf8u
And trash will always be trash.
