Levi was walking down her new schools hallway and she ran into someone.

"Sorry" they said at the same time and she looked into his face. Brown hair, pale face. I looked away.

"You must be Levi" He said "I'm Stefan."

"Hi" I say quietly "Do you know where the History room is"

"Yeah I am actually going there next "He replies and we walk in silence.

"Here we are" He says and he walks up to the teacher.

"Class I'd like you to meet your new classmate. Remember treat her with respect."

He says "What is your name?"

"Levi, Levi Brian" I say

"Okay Levi sit behind Bonnie. Bonnie raises your hand" He says and a girl raises her hand and smiles at me. I walk over and behind her.

"I'm Bonnie as you know. Over there is my best friend Elena she is dating' Stefan. Then over there is Caroline and I know they are going to like you." She says

As we were outside eating lunch I see a crow and it's looking at me. I threw a rock at it when no one was looking. I opened my salad.

"Hi" A voice says and I nearly scream. I turn around and it's Stefan and Elena "Mind if we join you?"

"Sure" I say and move my books.

"Where did you come from?" Elena asks

"South Dakota" I reply

"Why did you move?" Stefan asks me.

"I had to get out my parents were abusive and here I'm living with my grandma" I tell them

"Hey you want to come over tonight?" Elena asks me

"Sure. What time?" I ask

"After school I drive you there" she says I say Stefan's ring

"Nice ring" I say nodding to his hand. He smiles and Elena does to. The bell rings and I get up.

"See you in Science" Elena says I smile and walk away

As the teacher was giving a lecture I looked out the window and I saw the crow again. I started on it's on its body then its head. It's beak I took my time and it turn out to be a good drawing and I turned to get its eyes but it was gone. I ripped the page out of my note book.

" is there something outside more important than my teaching?" The teacher asks

"No Mr. Young." I say

"Good now pay attention" he says. I feel a poke on my back I turn around.

"He's always like that to new students" Caroline whispers. I turn back to my notebook and finish the crow. The bell rings and I got to my study hall and I get called to the office. As I walk there I hear someone whispering my name. I shake my head and the whispers go away I get to the office.

"Levi your dad is here" The lady at the desk says. There is a man there that is the same size as my dad. The man turns around and it's him and I run out of the office and I run into Stefan.

"What is wrong?" He asks

"My dad is here "I say. He grabs my hand and runs towards the door and to his car and we got in.

"I'll take you to my house and I will text Elena to grab your stuff "He said

"Thank you" I say

"Hey have you seen a black crow?" I ask

"No what does it look like?" He asks. I reach in my pocket and grab the piece of paper that had a crow drawn on it. I show it to him and he takes it and examines it.

"Looks familiar" He says he pulls into U- shaped driveway we walk into the house.

"Stefan. Who is this?" A guy asks

"Uncle Zach, this is Levi she is new here and her dad just showed up" He explains

"Then why is she here?" Zach asks

"Because he I ran away from him because he abused me. He is at the school waiting for me and now he knows I'm here and he isn't leaving until I'm back at home. So can I please stay here for a few days? "I explain and ask

"Of course, I'll take you home, so you can get your stuff." Stefan says we got back in the car and I tell him where to go and he walks me up to the door I didn't have my key it was in my book bag.

"Something wrong Levi?" He asks

"yeah I'm locked out" I say and go towards the tree near my room and start to climb it.

"What are you doing?" He asks me

"Getting to my window it's open and that the only way I can get in" I tell him.
