I always carry it alone in my pocket and I’m extra careful when handling it.
How could this happen? Maybe it was the cloth I use to wipe off fingerprints?
It’s only visible when the screen is off but it’s still a damn scratch!
Is there any way to get rid of the scratch?

It’s permanent. There might of been debris inside your pocket that you can’t physically see or feel, that scratched the display/Oleophobic coating. You can use a screen protector that will conceal the scratch.
 
I don’t like my phones getting damaged. But the one thing i can accept is the screen will be scratched, it’s pretty much unavoidable.
I hate screen protectors they ruin the response of the screen so i will never personally use one.

Yes I also hate screen protectors and cases, after a while I always get rid of them. Thankfully it’s only visible under certain angles and lighting when the screen is off.
