I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjglZXhlKU
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaFs5gGtQm
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfKf02kfBS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdHZ2MWAGd
I'm doing better. Slightly.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLSRwCkf1N
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BIwQiwUZj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QapGj4pb4
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqo8E94kr1
"I was sick."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf65PiPCD8
And that was it.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDEJV2hmym
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPXjC1UO1N
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡathkjjphuc
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbi4zITmIn
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoKQ99Idwq
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgpXjfzytY
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1BCnvKCyy
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLf9MXSXuZ
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLTNgKuub5
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVit99aqh0
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyG0fXa8At
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuliC4iuk50
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMjlSSAaO3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsD87YfF2J
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aks5zgHA5
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXEd4a2rQl
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOwLPpYIb3
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApVjc8LQ7M
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFyVG6lqWh
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5wSI2jRw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wd8E7Z6dt
Fast footsteps approached.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDdcePVxxd
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNQRd7q8TE
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58SKCNxbgX
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3eHPRrpx1
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiE0FMso9n
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUp97ZHdOT
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhcTU4Cyq6
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobSCSjB0CU
And maybe I'll die myself, too.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJUFxy66kt
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL0nbzPk4z
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAHvpfv8Jj
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPuDjPOBN
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BF5ZSthJB
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G8VSwtq60
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAdEXlttG2
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?"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHres0qqZKH
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpwiZ3Sc8b
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbj8xn4XAa
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZeBL8iQXi
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1TZCMi4Ou
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p97nPCdpL
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vZIzifLIx
I was taken to the hospital.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEdjnEMoAa
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iuL55Dh3U
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u0NQ14yzT
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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTLZH5P4to
Beggars can't be choosers. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbgnyt3lM
As a result, I'm alive.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VSjoCEGNC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaJ8Ele8c4
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDYja8GE82
Why was he out so late?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3LborXIdl
Why did he do all that for me?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4c45g23MK
There's no way he's that perfect.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu03IhYBUie
Did he want to have dirt on me?347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2mrBHmYGQ
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFx2wuFiiR
I pretended I never heard him.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbqdjVnQgr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIuy0CpkWh
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRAiMfRba2
And trash will always be trash.
