I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.121Please respect copyright.PENANAKOy7zOEWv5
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.121Please respect copyright.PENANAzmXRq3es0W
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.121Please respect copyright.PENANA976bvca5L5
121Please respect copyright.PENANAaWSerpIfqz
I'm doing better. Slightly.121Please respect copyright.PENANASKoilQn152
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.121Please respect copyright.PENANAoXyQxgjm1I
121Please respect copyright.PENANAk5jsxKwnTR
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.121Please respect copyright.PENANAl9oNHS7b9R
"I was sick."121Please respect copyright.PENANA6T6ZNR9Ua5
And that was it.121Please respect copyright.PENANAfq6SMQWUtx
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.121Please respect copyright.PENANA6bGGyxEA17
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 121Please respect copyright.PENANAmT8IoZpSgV
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.121Please respect copyright.PENANAH9XX2xrTNQ
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.121Please respect copyright.PENANAMkOkVz07Ye
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
121Please respect copyright.PENANAqM3dPMQ73u
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?121Please respect copyright.PENANA1dym7hHVHN
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANA0GQ4uWBb8k
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.121Please respect copyright.PENANAlC9Bm4Rwbg
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?121Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qt2RbsXaH
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,121Please respect copyright.PENANAtm63vPrCz2
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,121Please respect copyright.PENANAXNvKZIEV6d
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.121Please respect copyright.PENANAYHrqm8tBP2
121Please respect copyright.PENANAayU9i10cNn
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANAkMbz7TOcil
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."121Please respect copyright.PENANANCxYLYq51Y
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.121Please respect copyright.PENANAGCp97uDsYU
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.121Please respect copyright.PENANAgC1G5lSdky
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?121Please respect copyright.PENANAGzWTcFoWEV
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.121Please respect copyright.PENANAzuAef5bSrq
121Please respect copyright.PENANAN7uO3cyuSE
Fast footsteps approached.121Please respect copyright.PENANALjtYDoS2I6
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."121Please respect copyright.PENANA2DEp4j7do0
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.121Please respect copyright.PENANA9I1Tur6ctE
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."121Please respect copyright.PENANA2IQxDQ0PU1
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."121Please respect copyright.PENANACL7OyMo4D9
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.121Please respect copyright.PENANABksWL4GYU6
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.121Please respect copyright.PENANAVOZrlJJ4nG
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.121Please respect copyright.PENANAtifJD8wq2B
And maybe I'll die myself, too.121Please respect copyright.PENANAkgEcZPuCV0
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"121Please respect copyright.PENANAVDZs2Ox4ug
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.121Please respect copyright.PENANAjpbMLdcFl3
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."121Please respect copyright.PENANAvO2HckcVov
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."121Please respect copyright.PENANAC4aaun7ysG
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."121Please respect copyright.PENANA4AgNA0njOn
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."121Please respect copyright.PENANAwni4yREHtu
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?"121Please respect copyright.PENANALPFQG8XdoE
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?121Please respect copyright.PENANATLa7gw09LO
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"121Please respect copyright.PENANAAqZCgkc2uJ
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.121Please respect copyright.PENANANlW68Egq2f
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. 121Please respect copyright.PENANAvejhwQGMIx
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.121Please respect copyright.PENANATkqR3QqnAg
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.121Please respect copyright.PENANA38erpSM8E8
I was taken to the hospital.121Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9Npal9RfN
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.121Please respect copyright.PENANAgNVENZDcFe
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.121Please respect copyright.PENANAKlAFAElkOn
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.121Please respect copyright.PENANAccC5ABUJIC
Beggars can't be choosers. 121Please respect copyright.PENANAx4fQLBWXvF
As a result, I'm alive.121Please respect copyright.PENANALARJLfKLCi
121Please respect copyright.PENANASe9n3KfS2N
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.121Please respect copyright.PENANADOQNyE3TUe
Why was he out so late?121Please respect copyright.PENANAx62o7qkkQS
Why did he do all that for me?121Please respect copyright.PENANAGGPopl894F
There's no way he's that perfect.121Please respect copyright.PENANAiOj7h3EmuU
Did he want to have dirt on me?121Please respect copyright.PENANAufxf9zyJn8
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.121Please respect copyright.PENANAiuOVjDBRW5
I pretended I never heard him.121Please respect copyright.PENANAFy283vzWhm
121Please respect copyright.PENANAhoWK12YH55
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.121Please respect copyright.PENANAZjLWTNxy9U
And trash will always be trash.
