I held onto the table to steady myself and calmly looked into her eyes.

"Luna, come home with me."

Luna shook her head frantically. "Mateo, are you shameless? How many times have I told you? I hate you the most!"

I froze in place.

Then I smiled and firmly shook my head at her. "No, Luna, you've forgotten again. You clearly like me the most."

Luna froze, and the people around stopped laughing and joking and fell silent.

They were all too familiar with the history between me and Luna.

Luna came from a rich family and was the finest girl on campus.

She was the goddess at high school and university.

She was the most beautiful girl there.

No one expected that Luna would end up with me.

I first met Luna when I was sixteen.

Both she and I had just started high school.

It was May 1st.

My mom was abused by my dad and died in the hospital.

I acted on impulse and stabbed my dad thirteen times.

I was only detained for fifteen days due to being a minor, and after that, I continued to attend school as usual.

But from then on, I became an orphan and an outcast.

My dad's relatives hated my guts.

My mom was abused for years and refused to listen to her family's advice to divorce.

And I had long lost contact with them.

My grandmother sometimes lay at the school gate crying and cursing me to die.

It seemed like I suddenly had no connection with this world.

That day, I stood on the top of the school building. It was so high as if I could reach the clouds.

I suddenly became relieved.

Just when I was about to jump, I was suddenly grabbed by the back of my neck and pulled down.

Hands on hips, Luna scolded me, "Do you want to jump off the building?"

"Do you know that I'm on duty today? If you jump off the building, there will be many people coming to watch, and it will create a lot of garbage. I won't be able to go home on time to watch my favorite cartoon!"

I was shocked by her complaint, obediently let her pull me down, and apologized to her politely.

Afterwards, she always stared at me fiercely.

When my grandparents came to make trouble, I never spoke up. I hated my dad and them.

I hated it when my dad hit my mom and said that women were cheap and deserved to be beaten!

But Luna was different.

She scolded even more fiercely than my grandma, saying, "You old witch, why don't you go to the authorities? Stop causing trouble at our school and disturbing us."

My grandma was about to fall to the ground.
