Gus's POV:

Why can't I just fall asleep?!

I keep opening my eyes thinking a creepy figure is gonna be standing over me, this sucks.

I should try to count sheep, Luz told me humans sometimes count them if they can't sleep.

What do sheep look like again?

What the?

I see something walking around.

No! Please, I'm too young to die!

I'm gonna cover my face with the blanket I've got.

Hopefully it doesn't know I'm awake.

I

Hear

Footsteps

It's getting closer!

Go away, go away...

"Augustus?" it whispers.

It knows my name.

I'm gonna cry, this is so scary.

It just sat down next to me.

. . .

It's pulling the blanket off of my face!

"Why are you hiding? It's just me."

I look up and see who it is.

Thank goodness, it's only Mattholomule.

I thought I was gonna be taken away by some monster.

Wait...

It's Mattholomule?

"Why are you up?" I ask him.

"I could ask you the same thing." he replies.

"Couldn't sleep" I say, trying to sound cool.
