I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.306Please respect copyright.PENANAM50bRMMlbk
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.306Please respect copyright.PENANAOqZcG8iFH3
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.306Please respect copyright.PENANA37e9Twi06a
306Please respect copyright.PENANAeRKiPdPmQT
I'm doing better. Slightly.306Please respect copyright.PENANAF4mTfeR14p
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.306Please respect copyright.PENANAtwtbsXcqfW
306Please respect copyright.PENANA2cHpbwN3t7
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.306Please respect copyright.PENANAnPJVvlPCPo
"I was sick."306Please respect copyright.PENANA5tyySClgop
And that was it.306Please respect copyright.PENANA2DtbnLJOQR
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.306Please respect copyright.PENANA3tbQ6xUR3W
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAtau7YuKWvZ
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.306Please respect copyright.PENANANgMfMLfkho
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.306Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ETcrJp9b
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAHW0VBV9jVH
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?306Please respect copyright.PENANATfsAEsYea0
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAJr5miE0GjG
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.306Please respect copyright.PENANAjmr7hksL7Q
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?306Please respect copyright.PENANAd22M3CCUKm
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,306Please respect copyright.PENANANRg1xf9E29
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,306Please respect copyright.PENANA3cf4xLsI80
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.306Please respect copyright.PENANA0qVF4L0VUm
306Please respect copyright.PENANAayuIFWhhrr
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAwKFIZWZBSZ
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."306Please respect copyright.PENANAbU2KkNlFqd
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.306Please respect copyright.PENANAxdqcR9TESl
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.306Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qg7RjkU2R
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?306Please respect copyright.PENANAexAmeRd5WN
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.306Please respect copyright.PENANAhzWYHyrfZH
306Please respect copyright.PENANA1lvugW5bHa
Fast footsteps approached.306Please respect copyright.PENANA9qFMTSEKh9
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."306Please respect copyright.PENANAtkf78h9muw
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.306Please respect copyright.PENANA7NAeaGGT3X
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."306Please respect copyright.PENANA0lFSSe6GTx
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."306Please respect copyright.PENANAMixGfGfr13
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.306Please respect copyright.PENANAA9AvDI7MCs
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.306Please respect copyright.PENANAxf5dcANZ7P
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.306Please respect copyright.PENANAf26RqGocjz
And maybe I'll die myself, too.306Please respect copyright.PENANAumvAeT077d
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"306Please respect copyright.PENANAZv1eaPLp3C
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.306Please respect copyright.PENANAI6ojTz2Wg9
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."306Please respect copyright.PENANAliZxzIH9TT
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."306Please respect copyright.PENANA0cOiA7KiT5
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."306Please respect copyright.PENANAtiv4rDoFi3
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."306Please respect copyright.PENANA6JTIbBnE18
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?"306Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9yWRbhHTz
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?306Please respect copyright.PENANAeYZOErMSyd
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"306Please respect copyright.PENANAnc7GXd2J5c
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.306Please respect copyright.PENANAGi1WU4mbcZ
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. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAlsjCn9KbHT
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.306Please respect copyright.PENANAFSx0RAMAxq
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.306Please respect copyright.PENANA7n9bpuCwSb
I was taken to the hospital.306Please respect copyright.PENANAug7zLsKKEe
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.306Please respect copyright.PENANAXnsfnRimsR
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.306Please respect copyright.PENANA1EizGI0YEG
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANANFMxvXXRU9
Beggars can't be choosers. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAS7cOQ9skHe
As a result, I'm alive.306Please respect copyright.PENANADctML8zGeU
306Please respect copyright.PENANAUgFKa4HKM7
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.306Please respect copyright.PENANAoZjK5f56Hi
Why was he out so late?306Please respect copyright.PENANAfW947tbyGQ
Why did he do all that for me?306Please respect copyright.PENANAoDhlEIq11l
There's no way he's that perfect.306Please respect copyright.PENANALF0kHK1xzc
Did he want to have dirt on me?306Please respect copyright.PENANANjWMSFow3S
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.306Please respect copyright.PENANAbz8Gz3Smtm
I pretended I never heard him.306Please respect copyright.PENANAtolzN1rmrP
306Please respect copyright.PENANAzrvuB5Hp1X
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.306Please respect copyright.PENANAaDFdu3aGOf
And trash will always be trash.
