His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 20: Normal Life

Y/N's POV

I woke up on my own the next morning. I opened my eyes to see the late morning sun shining into my room. I didn't need to go to school and I didn't need to go to work. I had an entire day to myself.

I got up and made myself some eggs for breakfast. Like always, I ate my breakfast while watching the news. Nothing major was happening. No new killings, no one being reported missing, everything in the city seemed to be going great!

The most interesting thing on the news was the weather. Apparently, a large storm was coming our way.

About an hour later, I decided to turn off the TV. I got up to get a snack from the fridge and I noticed it was looking a bit empty. I decided I might as well do something productive and go grocery shopping.

I left my apartment and hopped into my car and drove myself to the store. A grabbed everything I needed from the store, paid, and left.

I walked into my apartment with the groceries. I put everything away and started to make myself some lunch. I made myself some pasta and ate it happily.

After I finished my meal, I decided to check on a few things on my computer. A couple of my favorite YouTubers posted new videos! I eagerly clicked and watched the videos. I watched happily as they joked around and laughed along with them. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to live without YouTube.

After I was done watching the videos, I decided to open up a window. It was a nice day outside, so why not? I made my way back over to my computer and decided to listen to some music. I pulled up a playlist that I made of a bunch of songs that I liked and put it on shuffle.

After a while, I started to sing along with the songs. After some time of singing, it was coming close to dinner time. I decided to take my computer with me to the kitchen so I could still listen to music while I'm making myself some dinner. I decided to make myself a fruit salad. I needed to start eating healthier anyways.

I sat down on the couch with my fruit salad and turned on the TV and watched the news. Just like this morning, nothing interesting has happened. After I finished my meal, I turned off the TV and headed towards the kitchen sink. I washed the dishes before heading back to my room.

I decided to check to see if I had any schoolwork that I needed to finish. Luckily, I had everything I needed done. So, I decided to watch some more YouTube videos.

A couple of hours passed by and it had started to get dark outside. I walked out of my room and closed the window I had opened earlier. I stared at the window for a few seconds as a thought flew through my head. Maybe I'll have a full night of sleep tonight.

I messed around on my computer for a couple more hours before I decided I should probably get some sleep. I closed my computer, made sure it was still charging and hopped into bed. I set an alarm on my phone. I plugged in my phone and set it on the nightstand. I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.

I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm going off. Looks like I finally had a full night of sleep. I turned off the alarm on my phone and pulled myself out of bed. I walked over to the closet and opened it. I didn't have many outfit choices. Looks like I need to do laundry.

I ended up choosing some jeans and a plain F/C t-shirt. I grabbed my phone and headed towards the kitchen to make myself something for breakfast. I decided to just make myself some toast. After I had my breakfast prepared, I headed over to the couch and turned on the TV to watch the news.

Nothing much was happening. Just some more information on the storm that was coming our way. It was going to pass through here later today. I finished my breakfast and checked the time. 8AM, class was going to start at 9AM.

I brought my plate to the sink and washed it. I went into my room and packed up everything I would need for school and headed out the door. So far, it was a nice day out. It was mostly cloudy and it wasn't too cold. I hopped into my car and drove to school.

I had gotten to school and parked my car. I checked the time. 8:30AM. I was pretty early. I got out of my car and walked into the building.

I walked into the classroom and only one other student was there. I wasn't surprised, I was really early. I made my way to my seat and put in some earbuds. On my phone, I made my way over to YouTube and found the playlist of songs I liked. I listened to music and waited for Alicia to arrive.

Fifteen minutes later Alicia arrived. She found her way over to me and sat down. I smiled and looked at her. I stopped to music and took the earbuds out of my ears. We talked until class started.
