[Chapter 1] The Crows

Let me make this clear that if you are someone who experiences trauma,Anxiety,suicide,Depression,Or literally Everything I have experience In this god dame story,Then I advise you Get the hell away from this book,find a doctor or a therapist,Drink some good and healthy holy water so you be blessed by the gods of light,And go to sleep because this story is going to be long a wild.For those who don't know,My name is Trash—I mean Daitron! I'm 17 year old millennial
Who is a struggling artist who goes to School and so on forward.Not important,but who gives a crap!?Anyways,you may think I would be normal Hispanic boy who likes dank memes and holidays like any normal person,and I do.....but let's face it,nobody's normal in this planet we call "Earth".Im someone who you would call a "Mood" as they say now a days(That is if you can even relate to me),but everything changed last year in January 3rd.

It was 7 in the morning and I was walking to school like any normal teenager would.I was listening to music threw my head phones,not paying attention to anyone or anything around my surroundings.However I was about to cross the street and while I was looking both ways ,I saw a crow on the side of the street,which is weird to me because you don't really see those types of birds in New York .But,I noticed one small thing about this crow......it had white eyes.I don't know why,but the fact that it had white eyes bothered me.It just didn't feel right....I mean come on,If you saw a crow with white eyes would you be concerned?Dame right you would because it's creepy!Anyways.....I continued walking and ignored the crow.

I finally arrived to school.I walk threw the crowded halls,where all the students fought in the battle ground.While I was walking,I saw a few people stare at me.....Whispering something about me.I don't know what rumor was spread,but whoever said it was about to catch some hands!I continued walking to my classroom and finally arrived.I noticed some students weren't in the class room,but I thought they were probably either absent or at breakfast.I didn't pay to much mind to it though,so I just unpacked,sat down,and waited like any regular student would.Meanwhile,while the other  students and I waited,The teachers where just talking about what where the plans for today.

While I was waiting,I started to draw.For those who don't know,I actually really like drawing!Ive one a few contests before in my old schools including the one I'm currently in right now.Plus I've been drawing since I was small little fetus . I'm basically expert at it.However I'm still trying find ways to,I don't know,maybe improve a bit.But it's no big deal.I was drawing for a few minutes and I saw my best friend Abby come in.

"Hey Datrion,how are ya?"She greeted."Im good.I just got into class a few minutes ago.You?" I said."I just came back from my trip to PR,I had so much fun!We went to see my family,I went shopping,went to different restaurants,It was lit!".She showed me a few pictures of what she did on her phone.I can definitely tell that she had good time."You have big family"I said."I know" abbie said ." If they were around in different continents,I could dead find them in a second!".I giggled a bit.Class was about to start in a few minutes.I started to put my drawings in my folder and put them to the left side of my desk.Ms.Jacob(one of my teachers in the classroom)went up to the front of the classroom and started teaching like any normal teacher would.She was talking about something that was ELA related,so I didn't really care much.While she was talking, unexpectedly,the Principal walked in the classroom gladly Interrupting the teacher trying to explain what we were going to do. "I's Diatrion Alexander here today?" The principal asked." Daitron ? Oh , he's right there!'' my teacher answered. "Is something wrong?''. "No. I just need to talk to him for a couple of minutes". As you can see, there was in fact a huge rumor about me , and I don't know who the hell made it up.

I got up from my desk and walked straight across the classroom to the door. while I was walking, I here'd a few people whispering and gossiping behind my back. I even here'd someone say "Did he really do it? I mean.....He doesn't seem the type of person to sell that kind of stuff to people....but....lets be honest , he looks kinda sketchy now and then most of the time". I guess my reputation is ruined, but I digress. The principal took me through the silent hall way of doom , where anything , and I mean anything , could happen . As we were walking to the main office, I saw even more crows....however , something different about these crows. Yes, they still had the white eyes....but they had horns now. Yes, horns as in demon horns, but they were like small horns, to the point they were almost hard to noticed. But since I had glasses on, they were pretty easy to notice. What was really bothering was the fact that the crows chirping to each other, like if they were having a conversation . But the weird thing about there chirping was that they sound very demonic. It was really strange, but there was only one question that was slithering around my mind like a snake, and that question is : WHY DID'NT SOMEONE NOTICE THESE DAME BIRDS IN THE FIRST PLACE!? It just didn't make any sense to me at all. I mean, I'm pretty sure someone like the janitor , or the security guards , heck maybe even a staff member or a student would be able to notice these dumb crows here in the first place. Not even the principal Questioned it! but you know what, I'll give them the benefit of the thought. Not everyone can notice things that easily, just like how people cant notice me when I'm around them. But you know what, that's fine , that's totally fine. There's totally nothing wrong with not being notice,but that's not important right now.

I finally got to the principals office and sat down on the chair. She looked at me and gave me a concerned face. Judging by her face, I of course new something was wrong. " Mr.Alexander, Do you know why your here?" my principle asked. How the hell am i supposed to know!? Apparently people think i'm the smartest person in the world,to the point they expect me to know everything . "Um.....No...?" i answered,well i guess you could say that i answered. " hm....well, i guess you should know whats going on since." I was really confused. I didn't understand what i did wrong or what even happened. '' What is actually the problem here?''. '' Apparently there has been a rumor around the school saying that you were selling...drugs." Wow.... Selling drugs...ain't that something. "um....excuse me!?'' i shouted. " Why would i sell drugs!? Who said this!?''. "Firstly , i'm going to need you calm down! There's no reason to shout!" My principal protested. "Mrs.Luks this is insane. What makes you think that I would be the type of person to sell drugs!?". " Daitron , I know this may not make any sense. But where going have to investigate in order to comfirm this rumor" . I was just so done with everything at this point . Why , why was this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Why did I deserve this!? There was just many questions in my head that were coming clear to me. I wanted to scream, I just wanted to shout and cry . I felt like every single problem that has occurred to me was my fault . I just wanted to disappear .

As I waited for the principal to come back, in my haste I was looking threw pictures on Instagram on my phone. I waited for about 20 or 10 minutes if I could remember. However when the principal came back , her face looked very concerned. " Alexander, I'm sorry to say this but it seems that where going to have to call your mother" Mrs.Luks said . Beside Mrs.Luks , one of the security guards where next to her , holding a zip lock bag that seemed to be clogged up with some sparks of green leaves . Pretty sure that was weed. But besides that, I was just shocked . " Your kidding...." I said . I felt just so defeated. I Couldn't believe that this was happening right now right here. My whole body felt like huge boulder fell on to me. My anxiety at this point was going to the roof . " Mrs.Luks , this has to be some kind of mistake!" At this point, she wasn't even listening to me and my whining. She first called my mother and was talking to her for a bit . I could hear her voice, yelling. The principal hanged up the phone soon after. " Go to the main office and wait there, Now. Where going to send the FBI looking threw your house to see if there's anymore illegal drugs once your mother comes." Mrs.Luks said. I stormed off to the main office and sat down , waiting for my mother to come. She finally came , and looked at me disappointed. She didn't even say anything, to me. I was really embarrassed. She went into the principals office and started talking to the principal. I was waiting for about 24 minutes, and then she walked out of the office. "come on , where going home. And once we get home, your grounded." My mom said. I got up and went to my locker to get my things. Once I was done, me and my mom left and got in her car. The whole time, she didn't even yell at me. She was just silent.

we got back to our apartment building ,and we walked up stairs to our house . Once we got inside I went straight into my bed room. I sat down on my bed, stressed out. My mom came into my room and started talking to me. "Listen , I know for fact that you didn't sell those dame drugs. I'm going to make sure that they don't take you away." My mom said. "But , you just said-" I said. "Oh your still grounded . But until we see if this is really true, you'll be free" .My mom left my room and closed the door on me. I laid down on my bed , thinking about what might occurred in the future for me. Will I go to jail? Will I be punished for my problems? will I die......? I didn't know at this point. I was just so confused. My mind was just full of scribbles at this moment of time. However , while I was laying on the bed, I saw it. Another god dame crow. It was in my room. I got up and I was just looking at it for the whole time. Then when I looked behind me, I saw whole group of crows ! They were all hawking and around me and soon enough , the hawking sounded like demonic screaming. It was so loud . I tried to cover my ears , but I could still here their screaming. I wanted it to go away, I wanted it to stop! I wanted to escape from this. But how!?

How can I make myself disappear!?
