I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMemJsU5iE
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa6D6qhxbz
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHI78lv11T
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHr6mHsnMV
I'm doing better. Slightly.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHymWymO2X9
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lz5yPDktA
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwRy62xwpt
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59xctLkZRE
"I was sick."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwezoMnRyrS
And that was it.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoC8LbRPE5
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70NRsxwpcb
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zpL7rZPs
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUt7QXce7V
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dSAJqVdze
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuMCN1FOnF
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYp8YbGJVL
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz08GAEn40
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfW2Y6LhGr
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TYEQTWtJS
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz8nPZQtSZ
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sIMchHdeg
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkiAhhtAiI
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcPGXAEGNZ
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz2Vmao1Wf
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b6I8pd6tN
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QCTx5dbvr
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgs1MpcF8K
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhnXI5CbP0
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXWK2g3xqt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNmD5EOtLv
Fast footsteps approached.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTpcspKeo3
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBizwKi6Uu
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhfDIye7LV
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHluSlmNmSA
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V7W5u8W1e
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrfODdTI05
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5V6ZOanaY
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhIVj4T6A
And maybe I'll die myself, too.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NcF3TMhmF
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKwST5X7Wp
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyts69VA58
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiE2ceTQIe
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnGydDN2M7
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdvU8Q77AY
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilBggrWWK
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?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIL7cr8FvR
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqWsZr4KDQ
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFx9pGL52L
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhsBcFiI9V
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. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkDgScFhjA
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J00xZsga6
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPIIWGcnsR
I was taken to the hospital.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivH0TqEGtq
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3fNj3H2Tm
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjIsUPA97
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp7gON5o7T
Beggars can't be choosers. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSW7S4EHIh
As a result, I'm alive.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzUJu2YP4f
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2FVA39tuv
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vWtFLkVXe
Why was he out so late?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQugbe8CRo
Why did he do all that for me?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZSlQ3JKqy
There's no way he's that perfect.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6jaaiHh9N
Did he want to have dirt on me?400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPcqSxO2XJ
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxphPYALcMV
I pretended I never heard him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTxkZLWX0B
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV4k1lUSKH
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VOD6jUIT1
And trash will always be trash.
