I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnOPvWG8uP
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq6Ks4YrT5
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LsfYfVFCc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYplq1WwAKy
I'm doing better. Slightly.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKgY23p4sA
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBLZqO49d3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpvYJ1v0Rt
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCPoeq3cvX
"I was sick."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RfvaRS8Ft
And that was it.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYdx1M35N0
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC5P1CpSwK
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJG4AdTbOL
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi5PVCoY7b
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38hjRWtnY8
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8o0BooEz4
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv63KQ3I6Om
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEWgFyZmIq
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCzck3yD22
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYFcWs6afZ
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KK62XtZsx
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHSkZ6fqHr
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPf7KPkyJy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ttdlC8EY
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYV21HGmSy
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7hfnszjb
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGbiuXAM6A
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcUDCPVh13
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m2Z09EJJE
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OMfueSKjn
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUbosrmzjy
Fast footsteps approached.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrBmCDVRn
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMOFnyK1oZ
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUJqBGAuPp
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnqn6NT3yF
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQAlzeTJ7g
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f39QDAJJN
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvGOyUc2QI
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRAQlKA3K7
And maybe I'll die myself, too.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5tDQfQwW
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLpnCutUZg
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH66fRKzwtN
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzsjlH3a37
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWedJjwPpp
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaiaNnGaOX
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqehl5iptus
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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBCqVNBvt7
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktaBcNLnuU
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRY2p2AJ13
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8R6v4tUxW
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. 426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQHToBbrVr
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQtDMjnboY
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm6OdQKuAH
I was taken to the hospital.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFse0bMgUat
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoYJCZmUiT
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qUF4TeVHW
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9eCnWyLWp
Beggars can't be choosers. 426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMkXAPRONI
As a result, I'm alive.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwItXR6Y9VM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFjXb4Bs7F
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoixtvSQplW
Why was he out so late?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgw6AX1Mt8
Why did he do all that for me?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0YdondVe8
There's no way he's that perfect.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9udNIwwWx
Did he want to have dirt on me?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuWYMrU8Rd
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrveD2dJ3
I pretended I never heard him.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeawYhyItH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94iWgUGwZh
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcosvgRRH7
And trash will always be trash.
