I wanted to end the last entry on a cliffhanger for once.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxELqVhJ77
Not because I was too tired to write or anything. Haha.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQcPZLUMYk
Who am I kidding? Being able to write again is already a huge step.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jBpHr4sbT
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IKsnHLkJ9
I'm doing better. Slightly.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhyLWZiOLZ
I went to class on Friday. Wait, was it Friday? Ah, yeah.
No one said "welcome back," or anything.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifUPVZm1mD
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOI4nNJ5o4
"Where've you been?" Glasses asked.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrl3ksyutR
"I was sick."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlbLeNAnYY
And that was it.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd6BOsbmVc
He didn't even raise his head from his phone to look at me.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxCiBiKtXz
The other idiot looked at me, shrugged, then shifted his gaze back on his game. 432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEpuAlGGzP
"Lucky."
I didn't think I was expecting much, but I guess I underestimated myself.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXeImwVz21
They're... my friends. Yeah. It's fine.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P1aqFX9OC
I don't need any more than that, anyway. I can't have more than that, anyway.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASpIuMBeFs
Huh? Ah, what happened the other day?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJLA11rTx
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGgt0XfWMt
The kind of guy that everyone wants to be. On the outside, at least.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCJQ5gFqiO
I like to think that no one really genuinely likes him but sucks up to him for the benefits, you know?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZSNqSvKxh
What a tryhard. We've exchanged the odd,432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhArI0ppx3
"hey, have you handed in your assignment yet?" or,432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWqnJ5sqai
"you want to bat?" in a game of cricket.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrmE0nMhIv
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeDjedv1D0
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbDmcW9Awp
Mr. perfect, and me, who's utter trash. On that day...
"You've got the wrong person."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvukuFD5NQ
I snatched my arm away and started walking. I didn't even know where I was going. Just anywhere.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AOMvLI4CN
Lucky I was wearing a hoodie.
There were no footsteps following me. Good.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB975rvEim
I remember wondering, why in the hell was he out so late, anyway? Why did I have to run into him?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh757n8tzf
I wanted to die. In that moment, I really just wanted to bury myself in a hole.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IstOsOOlb
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF8ouPL5fS
Fast footsteps approached.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPrFRI1VVU
Two feet appeared in front of me. Then a face.
"What are you talking about, it is you."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuezv9SwsuN
"Sorry, but... I don't think I should let you go," he continued.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8OrMKbRV
"I haven't seen you in class lately... you know what, let's go to the station together."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJS3m7E7xu
I clicked my tongue.
"Hah, no one's here, so you don't have to play the good guy now."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxonPPkkzS
Strange. I haven't said anything over three words to someone in such a long time.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD7ZYtUX3t
It still felt like a dream at that point.
I glared at him. It seemed to work, because he looked anxious, and rightly so.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHDBCYuRjs
Maybe I should just kill him here, and I won't have to worry about anything else.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XHisPvgha
And maybe I'll die myself, too.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjaNEMzP7H
I guess it was a relief that I never went through with that thought.
"What are you talking about?"432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZCbilJHc
He reached for me, then decided against it. Haha, that was funny.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXMye2J5FT
"Look, if you don't want to go to the station, I'll walk you home... your parents must be worried."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTW5y5x9ck
"I'm not a kid. Plus, I live alone."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR77sfJ5YHr
"Ah... no, I see... it's just that you don't seem too well... at least let me take you to the doctor."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JxeGHf392
"Why do you care? I'm not your responsibility."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREfbs3ib4C
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?"432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDHDLupuVx
Human decency? Haha. What is he trying to pull? There's nothing to gain from helping me. Saviour complex, perhaps?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRN0QI0Bgn
Playing hero.
"Shut up. I'm saying I'm not in trouble, so leave me alone-"432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j0pJST3aj
Before I knew what was going on, I was pulled forward.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3JgrlnCMk
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. 432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuSvvKfM82
"Let him play hero or whatever he wants," I thought to myself.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5SmGUCWSV
Hey, it was getting cold, and I lost my will to fight.
And that's that, I guess.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8zMx9WY3k
I was taken to the hospital.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNMDUO2uD
It was a blur- forms were filled out, and next thing I knew, I was lying with an IV drip attached to my arm.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZflQfGBcQ
I remember asking the nurse how much treatment would cost, only for her to respond that it had been paid for.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTdd4SxIgn
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5w7Cn6Y7t
Beggars can't be choosers. 432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa943MDl0XN
As a result, I'm alive.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVgK4Sx3Yg
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfvPht1o8v
I'm not sure if I'm grateful, but I owe him.
But I can't bring myself to face him.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2GGwh3nLd
Why was he out so late?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGKQNmNuA6
Why did he do all that for me?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrzCOBbtWG
There's no way he's that perfect.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ApbVSAZy
Did he want to have dirt on me?432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm2DOXmIeV
Was he going to brag about it in class?
On that Friday, he called my name during break.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlFoa6m5gv
I pretended I never heard him.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiOtKpBF82
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8XSaDmnG7
Mr. Perfect will always be Mr. Perfect.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn2EzB0IvJ
And trash will always be trash.
