I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.305Please respect copyright.PENANABfl7VC8us4
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.305Please respect copyright.PENANAmDkmH6EgCx
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.305Please respect copyright.PENANAY1b8KA4zB8
305Please respect copyright.PENANA19zEIj2caw
I'm doing better. Slightly.305Please respect copyright.PENANAaNqq1AJVYF
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.305Please respect copyright.PENANAsKO9JxfMK1
305Please respect copyright.PENANAdF9NoLgfew
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.305Please respect copyright.PENANAxXcTWSrec7
"I was sick."305Please respect copyright.PENANA4mIFnhsKaX
And that was it.305Please respect copyright.PENANAowLX4HfxUN
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.305Please respect copyright.PENANACtNTbMYbpD
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 305Please respect copyright.PENANAynvq6svzQk
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.305Please respect copyright.PENANAe9Vp4cdFAI
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.305Please respect copyright.PENANALoHBuLqAOL
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAAH7r48sJUI
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?305Please respect copyright.PENANAkmADw2quE5
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA5AlMT8QP0X
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.305Please respect copyright.PENANAVIiKLpy5ck
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?305Please respect copyright.PENANA0OI5XTOZRq
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,305Please respect copyright.PENANAwzm0HLhxJq
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,305Please respect copyright.PENANAGgtzVAXw8I
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.305Please respect copyright.PENANA9o4EniK5gG
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfG8hzymYE1
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANACVl9DpmOoi
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."305Please respect copyright.PENANApSyYiKtZe1
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.305Please respect copyright.PENANAkBBLr5n5x3
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.305Please respect copyright.PENANANkfiA4oXdH
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?305Please respect copyright.PENANAytIoGSB0UM
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.305Please respect copyright.PENANARaXZGj8Kx3
305Please respect copyright.PENANAbN1dU392yI
Fast footsteps approached.305Please respect copyright.PENANAH2sBdRTHO8
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."305Please respect copyright.PENANAMcIX4Ve3IK
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.305Please respect copyright.PENANA3vhHzlk1Rq
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."305Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4FpoDxKQU
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."305Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6f86bXZXa
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.305Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPw4iuWNV
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.305Please respect copyright.PENANAV5KEwQ45P6
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.305Please respect copyright.PENANAAMjRqIaTqg
And maybe I'll die myself, too.305Please respect copyright.PENANA04E8hdgvM6
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAWwW64hXkMH
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.305Please respect copyright.PENANApprV32H07K
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."305Please respect copyright.PENANAABLDUkhs0k
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."305Please respect copyright.PENANAO7OzEYtWBl
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."305Please respect copyright.PENANAlKEOsaLPMT
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."305Please respect copyright.PENANAhFKZsDfe8X
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?"305Please respect copyright.PENANArBPzYu8eMo
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?305Please respect copyright.PENANADtaHLbOauY
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"305Please respect copyright.PENANAkUQJ5Nm9dB
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.305Please respect copyright.PENANATlIbYOZkrx
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. 305Please respect copyright.PENANASlJwCM4Jbl
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.305Please respect copyright.PENANAI7v7Awmmah
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.305Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1YWFnmeac
I was taken to the hospital.305Please respect copyright.PENANACgE8oDhMU0
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.305Please respect copyright.PENANAgLLGhPHDGN
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.305Please respect copyright.PENANAmFQj8010TR
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAwKvqtaleOV
Beggars can't be choosers. 305Please respect copyright.PENANAJM8jvdCurH
As a result, I'm alive.305Please respect copyright.PENANAkwajZbyY0s
305Please respect copyright.PENANAftJ9oTewqn
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.305Please respect copyright.PENANAwpiLEhM2Kx
Why was he out so late?305Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qg0IoFOSt
Why did he do all that for me?305Please respect copyright.PENANAT4vi9GPFN7
There's no way he's that perfect.305Please respect copyright.PENANAb3AJ1O5k3S
Did he want to have dirt on me?305Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ55h35G4J
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.305Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hso86TK0m
I pretended I never heard him.305Please respect copyright.PENANAEnVszUEZbR
305Please respect copyright.PENANAwVpxhPU8kr
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.305Please respect copyright.PENANAEfkzNm5bss
And trash will always be trash.
