Chapter 7
Nayon was on her rooftop at night. Sleep was very far away from her and see was evidently crying. She was scrolling down the school website and could see the embarrassing videos of hers pinned at top. So many funny and hates comments from each videos. She felt her life was officially doomed and wasn't going to survive high school.
She felt a strange presence and turned back only to find Lucian. Why was he here? Why as he always out there for her?
"Why are you out in the night? It's cold, you need to her back inside." Lucian scolded her and tried to escort her back inside. He then saw a bottle of cold water on the table. "Were you taking cold water? Why are human so hard to convince?"
Nayon couldn't take it anymore and pulled his hands away. "Do you really care about me or just your holy pearl?" She asked as he stared at him and he shifted his gaze away. Nayon held his face back and pointed it to hers. She was desperate for an answer.
Lucian released a deep sigh before replying. "I only care about my holy pearl." Nayon's countenance broke down as she released his face from her hand. She was right! She was cursed to be alone. She haven't feel belonged or cared for before and when she finally did, it was all fake for just personal benefit.
"You can leave." Nayon wiped off few drops of tears escaping from her face with her sleeves. Lucian face softened seeing her tears and he tried to reach out for her face.
"Nayon..."
"Get your hands off me, you old and desperate demon. Go to hell and burn." She said as she threw her phone at him and slammed the door off his face. Lucian picked the phone and went through the school website and his eyes couldn't believe all.

Nayon was walking to her class when she was ruminating on all that happened yesterday. She wondered if she had said much than expected but she was also angry yesterday. She entered the class and could see everyone gathered around her seat with their phones recording.
She wondered what was wrong as people cleared the scenario for her and she could see him kneeling down with a flower in his hands and her classmates were recording the scene. It was him! The guy that made her viral, the one they rejected and disgrace her in front of the whole school.
"I'm sorry, Nayon." He said as he stood up and placed the flower in her hand. Nayon was so shocked and didn't know what to say as he place the flower in his hand. "I was manipulated my Lexi to reject you. I works in the school cafeteria and promised to get me sacked if I don't dance to her tune."
"Done?" A voice said from behind and the while class turned to see Lucian looking handsome in his school uniform. Nayon's face lit up, he wasn't gone for good.
"Yes." The guy sounded so miserable as if he had been seriously threatened by him. He went and held Lucian's hand as if he was pleading for mercy. "I've apologized already, can you let me live in peace? I'm so sorry."
"Yeah, you can go." As the Lucian moved forward, the classmate trembled in fear and moved back. Nayon stared at this mysterious demon, she was happy he was back.

They were all in the laboratory were they were having their physics class. Nayon was trying write in her note but her long hair was getting in her eyes. She tried to push it back and regretted for not bringing her hair pins or scrunchie to school.
While struggling with it, she felt a tender hand helping her packing her hair and wrapping it with a scrunchie. She turned around and saw Lucian. She badly wanted to talk to her but he went away before she was able to talk. Why did she feel Lucian was avoiding her? It was obvious, he was clingy to her and today he didn't even try to strike a conversation.
She watched Lucian taking permission from the physics teacher and leaving the laboratory. She felt guilty eating her heart out.
~~
Lucian left the class as he wasn't able to withstand Nayon around him. He didn't know what happening to him, but he was feeling some mixed emotions around Nayon. He was only around for his holy pearl.
After washing his face and was about to leave when he saw three male students lighting and smoking cigarettes which was strongly disallowed in school and was a punishable offence. He scorned and was about to move out when he heard one of them speak.
"Dare me, let me hear a single word in the school." He stood up and moved towards Lucian. He brushed the ashes of the cigarette on his white shirt which annoyed Lucian angrily but he knew been a demon, he would lose his cool if he went wild. He decided to shun the incident and walked away but they seems not to be backing off as they went after him. They called him names but he wasn't ready to give in, they won't enjoy his demon side.
He felt like leaving the hell called high school. He really confirmed high school was the worst place to be. He went outside the school gate and decided to stay at the sea side as their school was located beside a small sea. He was annoyed to see those smoking guys were still following him. He stopped and faced them and the first one came approaching him.
"Were you that scared?" He mocked as he threw Lucian a punch which landed him on the floor and mocked him.
