Taru was considered the 'Bad boy' of the school; pretty much everyone feared him. Except you. You weren't scared at all because he acted differently around you. Taru was in love with you.

He had been changing himself so you would like him and not seem him as someone you should fear because of what others said about him. It was sweet .... in some way. Taru would leave little love letters in your locker along with getting you lunch.

He was really trying for you.
