His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 8: Conversation

Y/N's POV

We got to class a few minutes early. We got to our usual seats and sat down. Alicia took this moment to finally talk to me. "Are you ok? You aren't looking too good."

I replied, "I'm fine. I just stayed up late working on the project. I'm just tired, that's all."

"Ok, makes sense. Did anything else happen last night?" Alicia asked.

"I may or may not have passed out in the hallway..."

"What?! Are you sure you're ok?" Alicia asked alarmingly.

"I'm fine! I just passed out from exhaustion. I also had a nightmare after I passed out."

"A nightmare? What was it about?" Alicia asked.

"It was about someone breaking into my apartment. The weirdest thing was that it was not a normal human. It was some sort of creature. I thought that it was going to kill me!" I said.

"What did the creature look like?" Alicia asked with curiosity.

"It had glowing yellow eyes and the mouth was the same way. He also had glowing yellow strings coming out from his hands. He trapped me with those strings."

"Wow, that is weird. The nightmare was probably partly my fault for telling you about the murders going on around town. Sorry about that..." Alicia said.

I replied, "It's ok. What did you do after you left my place?"

We continued talking until class started. It turns out that we all had to present our projects in front of the class. With me being a pretty quiet person, I got a little nervous. I just hoped that I didn't have to present first. Luckily, I didn't.

Class ended before everyone had the chance to present, including me. I took a breath of relief. Alicia had to present, but she never gets nervous about that type of stuff. I wish it wasn't so hard for me to do that. Everything would be so much easier.

I didn't have any other classes for the day, so I could leave. It was close to lunchtime, so I started to head to the café that was near the college. I walked in and I could smell all of the food being prepared. My belly rumbled. I was ready to eat.

After I ate I made it back to my apartment. It was 1PM. I had an hour to relax before I needed to head to work. I just needed another nap. I set an alarm and dozed off.
