I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbALDZchkM
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpMqNpwakO
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU9JYLX4V2
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCauWsugej
I'm doing better. Slightly.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYetMF2ZLaK
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtEBiyneCh
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6IE6utGeU
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k4ADfG1bI
"I was sick."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxTKllIM29
And that was it.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L0t2VSglG
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9PtILww0
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIJZ1nkDy4
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZxsj9ew7s
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKbhsg9xEP
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj9twXgsPw
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqGPQroC9r
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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDvUjvHQ6L
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6aRyRWojV
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJIKdzUAv4
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeqvP4GQsf
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzQ8YARDyk
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9HtwYjeqS
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdLJ8PiFG8
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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ23jeKcJe
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm8SYDRWg1
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZCussWMN
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6OiGGta0r
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCo2L7NvEd
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB6i6iPVn2
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqwVamu4ie
Fast footsteps approached.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI0ryAW2US
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67yzOsZOIb
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYQPQhgnN5
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGkjDtsoIM
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0oC1TTzhI
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNSLKg5xoE
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDfZzbIL4W
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZCCk2kNa7
And maybe I'll die myself, too.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA3zsn68Fh
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw1yGpMdWN
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O3sT17avN
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSv9KTYs8t
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchHB82nIU
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfpPtON9ua
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZbfZJ8IE
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?"427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TafQ20eMu
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDIe8xQH9C
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPoCRFwYH9
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswLkosD8C
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmfGZrtDhh
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRj3WWEicQ
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldiShvyZmj
I was taken to the hospital.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWLioLmXIe
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kd8Mf6w9f
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pvFkWUWu2
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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vpNru3f8H
Beggars can't be choosers. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrekJ2Ua1Z
As a result, I'm alive.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv2YhWVRY2
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkHAw7RWlJ
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu128B3QFBT
Why was he out so late?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEMb3gpyLu
Why did he do all that for me?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7KPOXco4i
There's no way he's that perfect.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPMj6u4QF
Did he want to have dirt on me?427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVDnWHNkMa
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kxq6j8JJv
I pretended I never heard him.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjlTaZDTH5
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdklcaDcl
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7kHfAlyCZ
And trash will always be trash.
