I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.108Please respect copyright.PENANADwG5FHVidU
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.108Please respect copyright.PENANA2bGzLuxa1c
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.108Please respect copyright.PENANAcNw0pUJCV9
108Please respect copyright.PENANAIEz6c1mwRF
I'm doing better. Slightly.108Please respect copyright.PENANA9j4vZ4hIyi
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.108Please respect copyright.PENANA2EnOaKKi08
108Please respect copyright.PENANAfKAmNj8LCJ
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.108Please respect copyright.PENANAFTu82VKGMF
"I was sick."108Please respect copyright.PENANAqVFHBy9rTs
And that was it.108Please respect copyright.PENANAP5FueAtLhE
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.108Please respect copyright.PENANATILgace43I
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 108Please respect copyright.PENANAP7USsgX96N
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.108Please respect copyright.PENANAj19sh2J4CY
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.108Please respect copyright.PENANAIsrMqyZLpY
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
108Please respect copyright.PENANA4YEoa6hjli
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?108Please respect copyright.PENANAYNFHQJ4sFV
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAzTVnhDmlXi
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.108Please respect copyright.PENANAFriMPYewf3
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?108Please respect copyright.PENANAGjekqJYDIz
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,108Please respect copyright.PENANAHDnjCs6Ct1
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,108Please respect copyright.PENANADw1Q76MLaA
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.108Please respect copyright.PENANAb0krQQRku9
108Please respect copyright.PENANAE0DMkUe9D3
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAoley0dV7Kp
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."108Please respect copyright.PENANA6cwtOxy0GO
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.108Please respect copyright.PENANAkEgulhlRd4
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.108Please respect copyright.PENANAO9s19GVlKJ
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?108Please respect copyright.PENANAthld4jamtp
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.108Please respect copyright.PENANAwGVCQwlJ20
108Please respect copyright.PENANAUYEQc5mbci
Fast footsteps approached.108Please respect copyright.PENANAdkXL8FNAFD
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."108Please respect copyright.PENANAoPMg5IQJgW
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.108Please respect copyright.PENANAZg1MD85WrZ
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."108Please respect copyright.PENANATBdD6YW1yd
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."108Please respect copyright.PENANATv4dTOR9jF
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.108Please respect copyright.PENANAVuUSUlYgYw
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.108Please respect copyright.PENANA9gHmI4hlgU
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.108Please respect copyright.PENANAlIWOjUbP3u
And maybe I'll die myself, too.108Please respect copyright.PENANAn3jYIWd5x2
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"108Please respect copyright.PENANAN1SnGN5k2t
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.108Please respect copyright.PENANAAUUQSVhcrG
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."108Please respect copyright.PENANAf6TtVPM1X6
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."108Please respect copyright.PENANAYHzn1o9PUE
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."108Please respect copyright.PENANAPWe0Pbl71k
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."108Please respect copyright.PENANAYBLvw9bwka
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?"108Please respect copyright.PENANAzhXSDC41eF
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?108Please respect copyright.PENANApsbMz8ZZ4B
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"108Please respect copyright.PENANAWN23MtqG16
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.108Please respect copyright.PENANAPsqGg5ssZ1
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. 108Please respect copyright.PENANAFZZ6jOstSX
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.108Please respect copyright.PENANA5yTKoFsKwt
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.108Please respect copyright.PENANApSPtbpWOlE
I was taken to the hospital.108Please respect copyright.PENANAYSoAl20wG0
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.108Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qp96HRtBd
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.108Please respect copyright.PENANAVw4nzHdRGl
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAsAyVenhCfv
Beggars can't be choosers. 108Please respect copyright.PENANA4xoko9JAG5
As a result, I'm alive.108Please respect copyright.PENANASw8Y9QdAxK
108Please respect copyright.PENANAmrRblBPs0n
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.108Please respect copyright.PENANARTKm0grMjg
Why was he out so late?108Please respect copyright.PENANA5rcSA7HR7U
Why did he do all that for me?108Please respect copyright.PENANAcvuiXqd9cj
There's no way he's that perfect.108Please respect copyright.PENANAGTASdUICpn
Did he want to have dirt on me?108Please respect copyright.PENANAKUUlwvXx30
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.108Please respect copyright.PENANAn7yfXxi8bf
I pretended I never heard him.108Please respect copyright.PENANAD9ChylbioE
108Please respect copyright.PENANAfiMno8EbPH
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.108Please respect copyright.PENANAPI4UdlimNy
And trash will always be trash.
