the silence in Ravén's room was broken when the song set as his alarm blared through his speakers and he knew that it was the start of another bad day all of his days were bad, he was always sad, always crying and always alone even when in a crowd of people, he always felt alone Ravén finally got up from bed and turned off the alarm, he took a moment to stare at himself in the mirror, to a lot of people, Ravén was a gorgeous 17 year old boy, with black hair, purple eyes and a body worth praising, but whenever he saw his reflection in the mirror, all he saw was a monster that didn't deserve to exist today was Ravén's first day at his new school, he had to transfer to a new school after the accident that happened at his last one Ravén knew that he'd be going to an atmosphere filled with people that already knew each other and that he didn't know anyone, he was ready to be alone, even prepared for it, so he picked the darkest set of clothes he had so that nobody would bother noticing him at school, he packed his suitcases with all his meds, books, clothes and artifacts he then went downstairs and found his grandmother in the kitchen making breakfast Ravén : "grandma, you don't need to do that, i can do it myself " * his grandmother only giggled * Grandma : "oh dear, but i want to, i know how nervous you are about today, but i promise everything will be okay" Ravén : " i know grandma, i know." Grandma : "alright dear, please take care of yourself and remember that you are in control, okay" Ravén : " don't worry grandma, i won't do anything foolish" * the school vehicle finally arrived to pick up Ravén at his house * Ravén : " well grandma, looks like i have to go, i'll be sure to call every day" Grandma : " alright dear, i love you, always remember that " * Ravén hugged his grandma goodbye, making sure to make it a long hug as they would not be seeing each other for a long time * Raven got in the vehicle and was immediately blind folded, all he heard was a sweet calming voice that simply said Voice : " i'm very sorry we have to blindfold you. but for the safety of the school and those that reside within its walls, we have to keep the location of the school a secret to outsiders" Ravén simply nodded and the voice giggled Voice : " i really hope you will like our school, maybe make some new friends, learn new things, but most importantly, have fun" the rest of the car ride was very silent, nothing but the sound of the low radio could be heard, and after what seemed like years, the car finally stopped the blindfold was lifted from Ravén's eyes, it took a moment for his eyes to adjust but as soon as they did, that was when he saw it the grandest school that he only heard through rumors, it was beautiful, even though he was looking at the outside, it was still beautiful it almost looked like a castle, while staring at his new school a voice interrupted his thoughts, it was the same voice that was in the car Voice : " uhm, hi, my name is Rose Silverstar, i'm glad to finally properly meet you, once again, sorry for the blindfold thing " Ravén : " hi, uhm, that's okay, i understand, my name is Ravén Darke " Rose : " well, it's nice to meet you Ravén, i'll be your guide, i'll also be taking you to your room, unfortunately, we have run out of single rooms so you'll probably have a roommate, is that okay? " Ravén : " that's okay, i don't mind " Rose : " great, alright then, let's take you to your room first and then i'll come around later to show you around the school okay " Ravén : " alright " Ravén then followed Rose through the school corridors, everyone stopped and spoke to Rose, Ravén could tell that she was popular, he thought about how he's school journey would be after walking with Rose and making small connection, they finally arrived at the male dorms and found Ravén's room Ravén entered the room and as soon as he did, it happened. he saw the boy that he had dreamt about for countless nights, a boy he only thought existed in his nightmares, the boy was standing right there but there was one difference between this boy and the boy Ravén always saw in his dreams this boy was alive, while the boy in Ravén's dreams was dead
