I've often regretting things in my life, especially about opportunities that I've been granted. My opportunities should have been given to someone more...capable.
While I wouldn't say that I'm a dumb person, I wouldn't say I'm smart either.
Not at all.
I'm your typical high school student that can be found anywhere. Fairly good education, grew up in a stable household, have yet to achieve anything in life, and unsure of their path in the future.
Two of my older siblings both graduated from both high school and university at the top of their peers and have been scouted by huge companies for their outstanding abilities.
Compared to them who are basically guaranteed a successful life, I might as well be dirt or dust.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that I'm the parasite of the family since I'm practically a failure compared to them. Both of my parents worked hard to pay for the education of their children.
Yet I, who had received the same amount of education and opportunities as both of my amazing siblings, could only achieve marks that are slightly above average. If these opportunities were given to anyone other than me, they probably wouldn't have wasted it.
I was never good at athletic activities either. In fact, I would say that its one of my biggest weak points.
However, despite not even being able to hold a candle to both my siblings, my family had never once shown that they were disappointed in me. Instead, they encouraged me to do what I believed was most suited for me, something I had yet to figure out.
Seriously, I don't deserve to have such good family members.
If I had to point out something that I could do better than others, it would be making friends since it's one of the few things that I enjoy.
"*Sigh* I'm so screwed for today's exam..."
"Pft. We're in the same boat, let's fail together!"
The cheerful reply to my depressing statement came from the person walking on the right of me. Daniel, a childhood friend of mine.
Similar to me, all his grades are above average at most but this is probably because his family isn't well off financially. If he had the same opportunities as me, he would probably be at the top of the school.
"Same here. I spent the entirety of last night playing games."
The second reply came from a person further to my right walking on the other side of Daniel. This person was Bryan. Even though he spends a lot of his time playing games rather than studying, he would always get really high marks. In other words, a genius.
These two had a lot of potential. After high school, they would probably do much better than me career-wise.
We are currently walking on the side path and making our way to school.
Today was the day of our half-yearly maths examination, it also marked the midpoint of our last year in high school before we graduate.
"You'll probably be fine Bryan, but me and Daniel are a lost cause..."
"Hey. If you wanna be like me, you gotta believe."
"Shaddup. How come I wasn't born with a brain as good as yours?"
"Cus god said so?"
Yea. God probably decided that a good brain shouldn't be wasted on someone like me...
We continued our chit chat as we arrived at an intersection with the school being on the other side of the road until suddenly...
*SCREEEEEEEECH*
The form of a speeding red car steering violently rushes into our view.
The vehicles around it began to honk at it and some drivers even opened their windows and started shouting.
Looking at the car, I was able to slightly make out a figure of a man holding his chest with both hands.
No way... HES HAVING A HEART ATTACK??
The speeding car crashes into an oil truck and sparks an explosion, causing other cars nearby to turn sharply in order to avoid it. Some cars crashed into each other while others steered into nearby buildings and crashed into them.
However, one of the cars had steered into our direction in panic.
Both Daniel and Bryan, still on my right, are stunned by the sudden turn of events and unable to react to the incoming danger.
During this critical moment, without thinking, my body had moved on its own.
"MOVE!!!"
Using all the strength that I could muster in my body, I pushed them both out of harm's way before feeling a large amount of pain on my side.
I felt myself get propelled a few metres before making a hard landing on the concrete.
My vision went black.
Crap. I got hit didn't I?
The whole left side of my body burns. It hurts so much to even breathe softly.
I can hear the panicked voices of both of my friends but I can't make out what they're saying.
Looks like my hearing was shut off as well. But at least they're both safe.
Gosh...it hurts.
Why the heck did something like this happen? We were just on our way to school...I guess my luck is just as bad as my ability...
I felt a large amount of fluid droll down my body as it covered my hand which was clenching my side. I can't see anything, but I'm pretty sure that the fluid is my blood. There's a lot of it too.
Crap. This is serious, I'm actually gonna die.
The feeling of burning and pain began to disappear. Instead, it starts to feel really cold. Soon, the voice of my friends started to sound quieter and quieter.
Is this what death feels like?
All sorts of thoughts go through my head as my breathing starts to get weaker and weaker.
...So this is where I die huh?
I guess in the end I wasn't able to achieve anything.
Such a waste of a life...
A series of regrets start to flash through my mind. The regret of not achieving anything. The regret of dying an idiot. The regret of.....dying a virgin.
Well, at least I was able to save both of my friends. Maybe they'll be able to achieve a lot in life and my parents will be proud of me for saving them.
Maybe I'll become famous and be known as a hero who saved his friends? Haha, probably not.
Well, If I'm at least seen as a hero then I guess it's ok.
Thinking about that made me feel a tint of happiness since I probably outlived the value of my life as a parasite within the span of a few moments.
I guess dying like this isn't so bad.
Ah, I feel so sleepy.
...I should sleep.

Though, It would be nice to have a second chance...
*Those were the last thoughts of a high school student who had died in a car accident.*
