I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.425Please respect copyright.PENANAUNGVIH8hpa
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.425Please respect copyright.PENANAgTfZObY5iQ
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.425Please respect copyright.PENANA94qP3dH2UT
425Please respect copyright.PENANAGHnTFDZTxT
I'm doing better. Slightly.425Please respect copyright.PENANAFhSdDi2KeH
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.425Please respect copyright.PENANA0xAvpR38E6
425Please respect copyright.PENANAFtVN7OmWFv
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.425Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5kBfnBjIR
"I was sick."425Please respect copyright.PENANAJ00rUc4TZr
And that was it.425Please respect copyright.PENANAkCPt2Pb3c5
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.425Please respect copyright.PENANAPICeKWcp30
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 425Please respect copyright.PENANAdzUbkuTSnz
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.425Please respect copyright.PENANAxe5XFnOhk9
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.425Please respect copyright.PENANA7iDJbMqoN0
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
425Please respect copyright.PENANANCc3DessTp
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?425Please respect copyright.PENANAzAudfWqE54
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.425Please respect copyright.PENANAgdILr2rdjg
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.425Please respect copyright.PENANA4tYGtCfUIQ
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?425Please respect copyright.PENANAgs8ujTWzh3
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,425Please respect copyright.PENANAOWBR4b0YNK
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,425Please respect copyright.PENANA9xXsV6KutI
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.425Please respect copyright.PENANAehS2gjINOC
425Please respect copyright.PENANAg2XlgdidrD
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.425Please respect copyright.PENANAAYqmZbLBow
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."425Please respect copyright.PENANAaNzbA9AHtd
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.425Please respect copyright.PENANAXIyh5Tp9hf
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.425Please respect copyright.PENANAgRAJYJbyuZ
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?425Please respect copyright.PENANAS63cL9FK21
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.425Please respect copyright.PENANAYG3UJlKkAG
425Please respect copyright.PENANAzLgzAUAnZP
Fast footsteps approached.425Please respect copyright.PENANAoxekfpHwce
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."425Please respect copyright.PENANAq3dHAllpqo
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.425Please respect copyright.PENANAyFVPeUZXAT
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."425Please respect copyright.PENANAaurLnEYd0c
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."425Please respect copyright.PENANANa4Ae7druc
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.425Please respect copyright.PENANAYrdEwtlEjL
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.425Please respect copyright.PENANA1UOyf8yXqa
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.425Please respect copyright.PENANA9CXZsBwJQ6
And maybe I'll die myself, too.425Please respect copyright.PENANA9wPWhh0rek
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"425Please respect copyright.PENANA9oUI6bE3bW
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.425Please respect copyright.PENANAEXvEzGdQK0
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."425Please respect copyright.PENANAV4wLDVlfgN
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."425Please respect copyright.PENANA5tkeFfzYSV
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."425Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ08FnzTQL
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."425Please respect copyright.PENANAW5y7iptXf3
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?"425Please respect copyright.PENANAZPBsKJRzX2
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?425Please respect copyright.PENANAzEvat9c2d0
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"425Please respect copyright.PENANAyHeZbzsz2L
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.425Please respect copyright.PENANANhJYQHBosU
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. 425Please respect copyright.PENANAnRBw8y9vTH
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.425Please respect copyright.PENANAo0uaEjza2y
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.425Please respect copyright.PENANAEVdRnh3Cnh
I was taken to the hospital.425Please respect copyright.PENANAI2tjvCRUt2
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.425Please respect copyright.PENANAEHHZOfQ1tS
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.425Please respect copyright.PENANATQY9xPORSC
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.425Please respect copyright.PENANA59OaQ8MEVN
Beggars can't be choosers. 425Please respect copyright.PENANAU5cyTgthDE
As a result, I'm alive.425Please respect copyright.PENANAHfXY4RCJA6
425Please respect copyright.PENANAETEnewHnWG
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.425Please respect copyright.PENANAm7YpXlbJgL
Why was he out so late?425Please respect copyright.PENANAtylWRhtYE4
Why did he do all that for me?425Please respect copyright.PENANA5JpIZ0u5KB
There's no way he's that perfect.425Please respect copyright.PENANA7oGKj7SQwu
Did he want to have dirt on me?425Please respect copyright.PENANAdPk6I9Z3rT
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.425Please respect copyright.PENANAOd81e0D9M3
I pretended I never heard him.425Please respect copyright.PENANAKUTeYi8Qkx
425Please respect copyright.PENANA62onlyGpHO
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.425Please respect copyright.PENANAstDqQ7DB1T
And trash will always be trash.
