His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 7: Was It All A Dream?

Y/N's POV

I woke up to the sun shining on my face through a window. I did not feel refreshed at all. I just wanted to go back to sleep. My body feels a bit sore. I looked around and realized that I was on the ground in front of the window at the end of the hallway.

Why am I here? I thought to myself. I tried to think of what happened the night before. I started to remember The Puppeteer breaking into the house. I'm not dead, and I can't see anything that would tell me that he was here.

Was that all just one big dream or hallucination? Did I pass out from exhaustion while I was looking around? I started to believe that it was a dream. I looked over at the clock and it was 6:40AM. My class starts at 9:00AM, so I have some time to prepare.

But then I remembered about the project. Did I get it done last night? I remembered working on it. I decided to go over to my computer and check. It was still open, but it was charging so it didn't die.

I checked and it was nearly completed. I only had the last slide to finish. I sat down and finished the project. After that, I decided to shower and get ready for the day. After I showered and got dressed, I checked the time.

It was 8:20AM. I knew that I should get going soon. I wanted to stay here for a little bit, though. If I left now, I would be at class half an hour early. I'll leave soon, but not yet, I want to relax for a little bit, last night was a very stressful night.

I thought that a nap would do me some good, even though I just woke up, but I barely had any sleep last night. I set an alarm on my phone for 8:45AM. I could still get to class on time if I woke up at that time. I decided just to take a nap on the couch. I went to sleep instantaneously.

The alarm woke me from my nap. I turned on my phone to turn the alarm off. I felt a little bit more refreshed than earlier. I checked the time to make sure the alarm went off at the right time, and luckily it did. I went to the bathroom to make sure I still looked ok after my nap.

After that, I gathered my things and checked the time again. 8:50AM, good, still have time to get to class. I drove myself to the college with no trouble. I made it to class 5 minutes early. I sat in my usual seat.

Right after I sat down, Alicia came into the classroom and sat with me. She noticed the dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep last night. She started to look worried. It's obvious why. Before she could say anything, class started.

Class wasn't that interesting. The professor gave a long lecture. I'm surprised that I stayed up the entire thing. I was close to dosing off a few times, but I managed to stay awake. We all took notes as fast as we could.

At the end of class, the professor reminded us all of a test coming up in the next week. I made a mental note and gathered my things. I walked out of the classroom and into the library. My next class is at 10:40AM. It was currently 10AM, so I had time to spare.

The next class was my history class. I remembered the presentation I needed for the class. I made sure to pack my computer before leaving my apartment. I decided to check on it to make sure I had everything I needed in the presentation. I opened my computer.

I looked over each slide and everything was looking good. I kept checking the slides until I felt someone sit beside me. It was Alicia. I told her that I was checking on the project for history. She let me continue checking the slides in silence.

When I was finally done, I checked the time. It was 10:30AM. We should probably get to class. I packed up my things and got up. I walked to history with Alicia by my side.
