Every puppet has a master (marionette)

Chapter 4 "Expelled"

I wake up to my dad saying good morning to me. He does that every time he goes to work but I rarely get up. This time I did and gave him a hug in my door frame. But at that moment my arms wrapped around my dad, he saw my face.

"What are you!?" He yelled. It was early and I just woke up with my music playing softly.

"I...am...a video game character for...PAX! Yeah, I slept in it because I couldn't get out of it, so I slept in it." I improvsied. "PAX?" He asked. "Its a convention for you tubers. Its over the weekend. I have a 4 day weekend." I explained. "Hartley, its Wednesday." He said. Uh oh. What do I say what do I say? "Yes and I'm not going to school today because of a-" "Where are your feet!?" He cut me off. The jig is up. "Huh. The truth is, I turned into this after I woke up from a nightmare. Remember 'Five Nights at Freddy's'? Well, I'm a character from it. Oh! Look at the time. You should go to work and I should go back to bed. Have a great day at work!" I said while hopping under my fluffiness.

After my dad left and I heard the garage door close. I walked over to my phone and texted Stephanie. She may not be awake but I can try.

Technostatic: Hello? Are you there?

I waited, then...

Fudge Poptart: Hi, why are you up so early?

Technostatic: My dad figured out my secret and I can't sleep.

Fudge Poptart: Hartley. He'll be fine. Just, let you, Khadija, Kiersten, and I talk about it over lunch.

Technostatic: Ok, see you in second period.

Fudge Poptart: Much loaf!

Then I fell back to sleep for the last hour I had. I then wake up in a dream. But its completely dark. And I hear the pop goes the weasel. Did we have a-wait a minute. Where's my fluffiness? I stand up and pop out into the prize corner. Great. Back to this place. I then start walking uncontrollably. The heck? Next thing I know, I'm in a hallway. Then I start to run. I jump into the office at the end if the hall and notice a face. Its the night guard. But she looks to young to work here.

She had blue eyes, long black straight hair, and had pearl white teeth.

I wake up at my "wake up song" and I realize after a minute or two. She is the one to help me!

I play fnaf 2 again after I made my bed. And got to night 4. It was tough. My mom came in and said it was time to go. It seems she's getting used to it. So I turn off my computer and head to my back pack. It was starting to rip. Stupid rule on mesh or plastic back packs. I got to the bus stop. Then more people were there including Hailey, Trevor, and Glen. I got out.

Hopefully I don't get bullied.

I walk towards the bus stop. And again it happened. Surprisingly more stares. I thought people would make fun of me, instead they didn't say anything!

When I got on the bus, everyone ignored me except Glen who sat next to me. And there is this kid that sits behind me that says fnaf on his phone all the time. He's obsessed with the game.

When we got to school and started to unload...he saw me. But instead if staring, he actually spoke to me.

"Are you real?" He asked. "No, I'm a figment of your imagination." I responded. He was quiet after that.

Then I met my friends in the court yard...as soon as I get there, the bell rang to go to go to first period!

So I walked over there and as soon as I got there. There was a note on my desk. To: Thing, From: Deans. Please come to room 6671-A. It read. So I went to the office and sat in the row of people. People got in trouble already? Or is it for people that needs to talk to them for just some reason? I thought.

I was then called in. They called me "the thing." Because that was a suitable name for a puppet apparently.

I walked into the office.

"Hello," the dean said. "please take a seat." He gestured toward a chair in front of him.

I sat down thinking, alright, give me your worst.

"Here is the form for your expeling of this school." He said while he handed the papers over and my face shatters. "What did I do?" I yelled. "You dress up as this and we can't tell who you are. Take it off, and we can consider taking you back." He answered. I stare at him with a striaght face. "Uh, I can't do that because...this, is, my body and face. No costume here." He takes the paper back and signs on lines randomly, hands it back and said, "Bring this back tomorrow with a gairdian's signature and never come back again."

I took the paper and started to head out.

"We have a bus waiting for you. Tell the driver where you live and stay home until you decide to make the right choice." He said as I had my hand on the door knob out of the office.

I go to the bus loop and see a bus with a driver inside and has the double doors open. I step on and get greeted by a, "Where to?" Like I was in a giant taxi. I told her where to go and she dropped myle off. At least my mom is only home today.

I rang the front doorbell with my claw like fingers. My mom saw me and looked at me with confusion. "I'm expeled." I said very straight forward. The look on my mom's face was in awe but quizzical. "What did you-" Before she could finish her sentence I cut her off, "I showed up. They gave me this form." I handed her the form while stepping inside. I don't like it if big bugs get in. "On the bright side today I have no school until I get into a new one or figure how to get back in my old one. Which in my opinion is easier and better." I said with a smirk on my face.
