I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.319Please respect copyright.PENANAXG2H8yunXD
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.319Please respect copyright.PENANAklsFpF3gHc
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.319Please respect copyright.PENANAOTsXduQMiz
319Please respect copyright.PENANASq4l20Pn0A
I'm doing better. Slightly.319Please respect copyright.PENANA96tWHEToRr
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.319Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ3ejhgZVV
319Please respect copyright.PENANAL3drrSDLCq
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.319Please respect copyright.PENANAXGLV8Huwhg
"I was sick."319Please respect copyright.PENANA9g0zLOzDAZ
And that was it.319Please respect copyright.PENANAHpydkZ7k2K
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.319Please respect copyright.PENANA8lipaTO6Zj
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 319Please respect copyright.PENANAz6A6LZAqM1
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.319Please respect copyright.PENANAemmMhpx00F
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.319Please respect copyright.PENANAzKHmiNtYmV
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAnYQR9yK0zA
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?319Please respect copyright.PENANAksXkV4VWL0
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANA29hWPASkJK
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.319Please respect copyright.PENANA1gY0p0nep1
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?319Please respect copyright.PENANAoQDbHSJQM3
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,319Please respect copyright.PENANAhw6I7JsOUv
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,319Please respect copyright.PENANAiAqWOvRBTy
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.319Please respect copyright.PENANA9qChLPZwqH
319Please respect copyright.PENANAC4m4zihi5i
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ywy1m411D
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."319Please respect copyright.PENANAp98c9DS3bV
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.319Please respect copyright.PENANAJyT3Q0fjJT
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.319Please respect copyright.PENANAHtsICGlpYz
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?319Please respect copyright.PENANAnQNCr1ShE1
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.319Please respect copyright.PENANAMSF401TJFP
319Please respect copyright.PENANALdopypE9uo
Fast footsteps approached.319Please respect copyright.PENANAF1NRsb0oYI
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."319Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ2RC5KzBY
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.319Please respect copyright.PENANA7BrCqNdV0c
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."319Please respect copyright.PENANAcDSM8b7tPH
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."319Please respect copyright.PENANAKmQ33pAKud
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.319Please respect copyright.PENANAKKSPSnYKT5
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.319Please respect copyright.PENANAvP0CHdE2M5
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.319Please respect copyright.PENANAEI87hdcvWY
And maybe I'll die myself, too.319Please respect copyright.PENANAwPANrJL7oW
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"319Please respect copyright.PENANAQq9FG29BIS
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.319Please respect copyright.PENANAB2LuHrLZab
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."319Please respect copyright.PENANAuGWwb0yIv5
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."319Please respect copyright.PENANAcri7ridJ6Y
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."319Please respect copyright.PENANAUOgxpcsexj
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."319Please respect copyright.PENANAsZYblqBMle
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?"319Please respect copyright.PENANAYANumSI9uG
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?319Please respect copyright.PENANAKESLJMBYX5
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"319Please respect copyright.PENANA3p6fPTSJap
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.319Please respect copyright.PENANAlJVrNo8wj0
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. 319Please respect copyright.PENANArTrc3JwY6f
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.319Please respect copyright.PENANAyjAZCYF3d5
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.319Please respect copyright.PENANAi6pdQPMUaN
I was taken to the hospital.319Please respect copyright.PENANAMfNf0NJmBs
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.319Please respect copyright.PENANALS1TZkJ5ZW
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.319Please respect copyright.PENANAyID1gGSBqe
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.319Please respect copyright.PENANAGvzh0wa1wu
Beggars can't be choosers. 319Please respect copyright.PENANAUUZU9rS8MM
As a result, I'm alive.319Please respect copyright.PENANAmK3tyaFE9d
319Please respect copyright.PENANADcEM9RUKq8
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.319Please respect copyright.PENANABJBoeYzuv9
Why was he out so late?319Please respect copyright.PENANA85ZvYCfdRX
Why did he do all that for me?319Please respect copyright.PENANA84qIxxgGdo
There's no way he's that perfect.319Please respect copyright.PENANAeU1gr2agrG
Did he want to have dirt on me?319Please respect copyright.PENANAVLXDfAU8UX
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.319Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1BzMb1P0v
I pretended I never heard him.319Please respect copyright.PENANAUeRfalXdy6
319Please respect copyright.PENANAaVtkvu6bZn
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.319Please respect copyright.PENANAhPAFH93gln
And trash will always be trash.
