Tao grinned as he saw the long-haired girl walked to the class. He fastened his pace. Seconds later the bell rang.

He made his way to his chair, just beside Luna. They both sat oppositely at the back of the classroom. He chose to sit there, while she was driven to, no one wants to sit with the nerd, and apparently she's the nerd.

Mr. Sung, the History teacher came in and started teaching. The whole classroom started to take notes and stuff, but not Tao. He was busy thinking what he was going to do with the letters. Should he just put it back where it belong and let it pass, or confront her and ask her about them? Planting it on the garden's ground and forget about it sounded boring, so he chose the latter.

He looked at his left to the girl who was listening intently on what the teacher was saying, occasionally tapping her chin with her pen and continue writing on her notepad.

Tao flipped to the last page of his notebook and wrote something in it. He then tear it up carefully, and crumpled it. He looked at the teacher, pretending that he was listening, and when the teacher was not looking he threw the paper to Luna's feet.

She felt something hit her leg. She looked under her table and saw a crumpled paper near her feet.

'What the..'

She looked up and turned around her to find the owner of the paper. She unconsciously trailed her eyes to the bad luck guy next to her just to see him raising his eyebrow at her. He made a hand gesture for her to take the paper.

'What's this?' She thought as she took the paper from the floor. 'A note?'

She used to play crumpled notes with her best friend back at her old school, it was really fun, talking with notes instead of listening to what the teachers said.

She shook her head at the memory.

'It was just a plain memory now, I have to let go.'

She opened the letter and read the neat cursive handwriting.

'Wow, I never know he had such nice handwriting. Well, never judge a book by its cover.'

-meet me after class.

Her eyes widened. The bullying, the fights.. He was popular with those cases, she had heard a lot of them, including the last episode of badly bruised student from the other school. The student was said to mock Tao and Tao kicked him so hard he had to stay in the hospital bed for weeks.

'Am I going to be his next victim?' She gulped, staring at the note.

"What's wrong, miss Park?" Mr. Sung called from the front.

Luna sat straight, shocked that her name was called. She hid the note inside her blazer before answering the teacher.

"No, nothing, Mr. Sung. I remembered something about what you just teach."

Mr. Sung raised his eyebrows sceptically but asked nothing more and continued where he last left.

Luna sighed. She looked beside her and caught Tao glancing at her, smirking.

'I'm dead.'

The classes ended, and soon Luna found herself planning her escape route if Tao was really going to kill her.

The students went home one by one and Luna felt like begging them to stay, but maybe they would not care a bit because they never did.

The last student walked out and Luna stiffened as Tao stood up and walked over to the door.

"I-i thought you want to see me?" She spoke quietly.

"I do. I just.." He reached for the knob and locked it. "Want to make sure no one is going to disturb us."

'Oh my god, this is it. The last day of my life. Goodbye Rover, goodbye Mom, Dad..'

"What do you mean?" She asked nervously.

Tao chuckled and walked closer to her.

"Hm, I'm still thinking." He leaned on his table, one long leg spread under her table, basically blocking her way out. She could always walk to her other side but he will be stopping her before she could even reach the door.

"If you have nothing to say then I suggest we both go home." Luna said, try to sound brave, but her voice came out nothing but a whisper.

Tao snapped his fingers. "Ah, I just remember. I need you to explain this.." He took out something from his pocket.

That blue paper caught her eyes. She knew it anywhere. She knew where it came from, what was written in it, and why.

It was her paper. It was her writing.

It was her diary.

Her eyes widened at the sight of blue paper. Her heart started to slam hard on her chest. She was trembling and her palm started to feel clammy.

'That is mine..isn't it?'

"Where did you get it?" She asked, her voice quiet as ever.

"Hm, what? This?" Tao smiled. "Where do you think?"

"Give it back, it's mine." She reached out, trying to snatch the paper away, but Tao was faster to move it from her grasp.

"So it is yours." He laughed, stepping away as he held his hands up so she would not be able to reach it.

Luna jumped up and down as an attempt to grab the note but it was a waste.

"Ha-ha. You can never reach it. So tell me, this is really yours?"

Luna stopped jumping.

"Yes! It is mine! Now please give it to me!" She cried exasperatedly.

"No. If you want this, you have to do exactly as I say."

Luna backed away a little.

'Oh my god am I going to die?'

"Wha-what do you want?" She asked, her voice trembled a little.

Tao stared at her without talking, his eyes hardened. His smile was completely wiped away, so was his mood. That was why he hated talking, that was why he hated opening up. That was why he hated girls.

"I'm going home." He muttered before tucking the paper back to his pocket.

He was about to leave when he felt his sleeve was tugged.

"Wait, I want it back." Luna forced herself to sound harsh but she know anything he do will melt her guts.

"Let go." Tao said in a low threatening voice.

"No, not until you give it back." Luna tightened her grasp on his sleeve.

She might looked brave but her legs were in the verge of giving up. Her heart thumped faster than she thought it could.

Tao roughly pulled on his hand and with a last glare he walked out from the door, swinging it hard that Luna thought it would fell apart from its hinges.

She slumped back on her chair, her knees trembled.

'Oh no.'

Tao stormed out of the classroom to the car that was waiting for him outside of the school grounds.

"Home." He said as he sat on the black leather seat and slammed the door close. The driver nodded and drove back to the Shin residence.

On the way home, he thought about how she looked when his eyes shot daggers at her.

He knew he had a reputation of the school's bad boy and the rumors that fly through the class hallways did nothing but to taint his stepdad's name even more.

The look on her face said everything. She was clearly horrified. He detested the look, the same look everyone wore when they came face to face with him.

He was starting to feed on the fear emitted by the students, and it was not a secret that he loved it. He loved that everyone was so scared at him that they cannot even look him in the eye. He loved it that everytime he stomped into a room without a teacher in it, everyone will rush out or simply stay a few feet away from him. He loved it that it gave him the space he want. He loved it that some girls were into his bad boy charm so much that he could do anyone he want.

He might be harsh on the outside, where no one could understand him.

But the fear and power came with a cost. Inside, he was a sad beast, trapped in a human body.

After Tao left, Luna grabbed her bag and rushed out to the garden. She ran until she was out of breath and the old tree stood before her.

She walked slowly to the where she last left the rock.

'Please, ple-'

Her shoulders fell.

"No."

In front her now was a hole and her container was gone. The blue container that held all those memories, ones that she wanted to keep and forget.

And it was in the devil's hands.
