That day went smoothly. It seems that nothing is awkward between Mark and me anymore. He is more friendly and open up to me.

We chat all day, at school of course. We always go to the canteen together, like two siblings. I know that there are many rumors about me and Mark, but I don't really care anymore. Some says that we were separated when we're young. And some said that we are together as a couple, but we never hold hands or joke in a romantic way. Weird, right?

"Suzy, can you help me with this?" He said. He showed me his Math Book, and there is one riddle that he haven't answer. "Okay. But, I thought that you're a class winner? Like, the smartest around here?" I said. "Well, that's wrong of course" he answered lightly.

"Suzy, are you still keeping the book you found yesterday?" He said, putting on a concerned face. "Yeah, I still have it in my bag," I answered, picking up the diary book that I found yesterday. He looked at the book, opened the pages in a concerned yet almost sad expression. "Huh, you haven't filled it with anything?" He said, roughly opening every single page inside the diary. "Well, yesterday I did. Did it got ripped?"

When I looked inside the book, there was nothing in it. Only blank pages and a black rough cover. But, there're no ripped mark everywhere.

"You know, you shouldn't have kept it. It's just... dangerous" he said, "I mean, what kind of person that left a bloody diary book inside a dirty forbidden bathroom? There must be something behind it."

"Well, that's why I need you to join me in searching the owner. I've read some Harry Potter books, and when he wrote things inside a diary book he found inside a female bathroom, it disappeared and answered the questions he asked!" I said, being excited. "Haha, your imagination is a bit off huh?" Mark asked, laughing a little.

"Well, I am a legendary detective you know?" I said, smiling and slightly winking at Mark.

Water noises . Sounds of a rusty wood. Fish swimming in excitement. That day, the weather welcomed us with a warm heart. Sitting side by side near the harbor, looking at the wonderful scenery of nature.

"Do you think that this summer will be nice?" A boy said. He would always accompany me. He would always the one that asks me to play along and always introduce me to new stuff in life. He was like my big brother, but from a different mother. "Of course, I always love summer," I said, smiling. We stand on the edge of the harbor, staring at the sun. It was a pleasant sunset.

"Suzy, do you think that we'll be friends forever? I mean, my mom is going to take us to California next year," he said. "We have to! I can visit you sometime! You should come see me too, that way we can still be friends" I said , insisting him.

This edge of the harbor was always our favorite sight. We always play hide and seek here. Sometimes, we can just run around because the company employees around the harbor sometimes find us playing. He always help me with things. Not only he's nice, he is also good looking. Girls around my neighborhood likes him a lot. But, he is more comfortable with me because I never think about love and care about making friends. And I always look at him as a best friend. Well, the ONLY friend because the other girls really hate me, and I don't know why...

One day, I came to the boys house, located near a high school. The house was empty, there was no one there. I asked someone that probably know where he was. Nobody knew. I guessed that he already left the town. But, he never said anything about it.

The neighbors said that somebody killed the whole family. But yet, there were no sign of a sudden attack or screams. Some says that the whole family killed themselves because of their economy crisis. I have no idea what happened. All that I remember is, I just played with him yesterday. I ended cried all night because there's nobody beside me. He was the only one that actually accept me as a friend. And, he just left..
