Chapter 1: Just any other Day

January 1, 2019

It was a New Year, people are excited to a new beginning and a new life, but not me every year was the same nothing extraordinary or bizzare happening. My name is Devian Bustamante a Senior high student, 18 years of age, Im a simple guy , black hair brown eyes, nothing special like my life. I was known for not carrying or  not giving any fucks to anything around me, except for my childhood friend Leslie Joseph, she’s my only friend. The only person that I care about other than my family, I was currently sitting on my desk in my classroom, Leslie or lez keeps on texting me. She keeps on talking about things that I clearly have no interest in.

The class has started. I turned off my phone and started listening half heartedly to my teacher. The class lasted for about an hour before the bell rang indicating that it's break time. My classmates stood up on there chairs other stayed not caring if its already breaktime, I was one of those people, I stayed sitting down on my chair still texting Leslie. She Keeps on talking about the idea of darkness and how it would affect people if they stayed in a dark room for a long time without light. Leslie is a person who gains interest in things alot, she will keep on talking about it for a long time, I always thought of her as a nerd but she always denies it. All of her ideas never did intrigued me, but this particular topic caught my attention.

Darkness, its no secret that many people are afraid of the dark, but it never did scared me. What so scary about the darkness? The dark has always been my safe haven from other people around me especially if its dark and silent, it always soothes me. I wonder what happens if the world will becomes completly dark, what if suddenly something happens to the sun and it will never rise again? I don’t know why but this idea intriguing to me. The rang of the bell brought me back to reality, third period is starting. I sighed as shook my head trying to forget those absurd ideas that I came up.

----------------------

Im curently sitting down a table near the door here in the canteen waiting for Leslie to arrive, as I sat there I cant help but think of those questions in my head at breaktime, the questions was intriguing. As I daydreamed I notice Leslie creeping behind attempting to scare me but I was never scared of anything.

“Boo!” she shouted as she appeared beside me and pushed me. I only roled my eyes to her antics. She pouted clearly disappointed of my reaction.

“Why are you never scared of anything?” She asked me as she sat down beside me.
I sighed and looked at her. I only smirked at her which made her to sting her tongue at me.

She sighed and opened the book she was holding “What’s that?” I asked as I glanced at the book that she’s reading. “ oh this? Its just a new novel that I’m reading”She said still reading her book while eating. I only nodded not interested. “Hey, Lez did you lose interest about that thing you texted me” I asked, looking at her still engrossed in her new book. “Not really, its just this book is so interesting!” She said, as she lift the book above her, gripping the cover hard. I  roled my eyes, and left her alone with her book. Lunch break ended, with those questions still stuck in my head.

------------------------

Laying in bed I can’t help but think about those questions once again. Why am I brooding about this questions? I asked myself as I stared at the cieling of my room. My room was dark, there was no light illuminating, I was alone in my dark room, but it never bothered me. I sighed shaking my head trying to erase those thoughts once again. When I was sure that I'm not thinking about it,I closed my eyes falling asleep.

Morning came, I sat on my bed. Stretching another day has come. I got of my bed deciding to go to the dinning room, when I got out of my room the hallway was still dark, as I stood there I felt shivers, like there is something weird about the dark. My eyes was not adjusting to the dark I blinked twice but my vision was still the same, I shrugged deciding just to feel the walls to find the switch for the lights.  When I found it I turned the lights on. When the light illuminated the hallway the weird feeling was gone,it really was just nothing. I thought To my self.I walked down the hallway nearing the door of the dinning room but as I walked down the hallway I passed the living room. The curtains was still down and the window was still closed. Normally at this hour mom already opened it then I remembred that she and dad was on a business trip so I sighed going in the living room but before that I turned on the light ,as I parted the curtains, I was shocked to find out that it was still dark outside, I was confused, I was sure that its already morning. I glanced at the wall clock located above the TV. 6:00 am, it says. Maybe the clock is broken again I sighed and went back to my room to fetch my cellphone to make sure what time it really is. When I opened my phone it said 6:05 am. My hands shooked,I was confused and scared but I calmed my self, my phone was not always right so I decided to go back to the living room to check the time at the TV.
