Chapter 9


Im tired as hell.

The amount of times I had to repeat that was making me go crazy.

I let out a sigh as I tiredly walk through the halls, remembering that I had to practice again at 3PM sharp, as soon I get to the room I flop down on the bed and let out a relieved sigh.

I thanked the gods my mother stepped in before I passed out from exhaustion. Luckily it was still 11 AM meaning I had time to squeeze in a quick nap.

I sat up and put down my crown cause obviously you dont wear it when you sleep, I took off my cape and threw it on my chair.

I flopped back down on my bed and looked up at the ceiling, I almost dozed off when many loud footsteps jolted me awake. I sat up, who in the world would be running in the halls?

I was about to check who it was when all of the sudden, my door flung open and Sapnap threw himself onto me making me falk back to the bed with an 'oof'.

I look down with wide eyes, "Sapnap?! What are YOU doing here?!" I yelled in surprise, Sapnap looked up, "I'm not the only one here." He smiled devilishly.

I hear two sets of footsteps running towards my room. oh dear. "SAPNAP WHY DID YOU RUN OFF?!-" Dream stood at my doorway, I mentally slap myself in the face. I should have realized that if Sapnap was here, the others were also here.

"Dream! Where did Sapnap go?!" George came running to Dream's side. Dream nudged his head towards me and I point down to my waist where Sapnap was clinging to.

Dream smiled and scratched the back of his neck, "Sorry, he just ran off when my mom left us on our own."

"It's fine, at this point i'm convinced that he loves me more than you two." I playfully rolled my eyes, "Hey! I love them too." Sapnap pouts, I raised an eyebrow, "Really? I don't see you running off to them and clinging onto them like your life depended on them everytime you see them."

Sapnap just whispered a quiet "Shut up."

We all laughed at the statement and flowed into a conversation about random things. The conversation started as normal, talking about life and all that stuff, then it evolved into different games, then into food, then lastly somehow finishing it off with favorite bands.

It was now around 12:00, time sure flies when your talking with friends. Autumn knocked on the door and told us it was lunch time, so we paused the conversation and headed towards the dining room.

We continued to talk, again, about random things. "Oh yeah, have you guys heard that song called 'Hey There Delilah'? Its such a good song! You have to play it on the guitar sometime Wil." Dream says, "I have actually, it's a really good song, maybe after lunch I'll play it for you." I reply.

We finally arrived at the very grand dining room to see that no one was there yet, so we took our seats and chatted somewhat quietly while we waited for the rest of my family to arrive. When they did arrive, we all ate along with Puffy who decided to join lunch. Once we finished, Puffy excused herself claiming that she has to run some errands and left Dream, Sapnap, and George in my hands.

So we headed back to my room and I played that song Dream wanted me to, overall we had a great time together as always. But of course, time flies fast when you're talking with friends and before I knew it, it was 3PM already and the others had already left. I internally groan as my father begins the practice session, this was gonna be a long day.

~Time skip~

That was probably the worst 2 and a half hours of my life.

Luckily I managed to get it all right from start to finish 3 times meaning our practice session was over, It was nearing 6 PM so I decided on a quick shower.

I dressed myself before flopping down on my bed. I was really tired, maybe I should just skip dinner to pack instead. So thats what I did. When Autumn knocked on my door to tell me that dinner was ready, I told her I wasn't hungry and to go back to the servants chambers to rest.

I packed for about an hour and I was finally finished, now I needed to find my black hooded coat. As I was finding it, a knock on the door surprised me. "Wil? Are you in there?"

I kicked my bag under my bed and went to answer the door, "Yes?" I opened the door to see none other than Techno standing in front of me. "Oh, Techno? What are you doing here?"

"Came to check on you, why weren't you at dinner?" He asks, "I wasn't hungry." I simply said. Techno looked unconvinced but shook it off, "Alright then, if you say so. You have a big day tomorrow, so goodnight Wil."

I put on a fake smile, "Thanks, goodnight to you too."

I closed my door and let out a sigh of relief, now all I had to do was wait till midnight. 

Shouldn't be too long.

~*~*~*~

That felt like the longest wait of my life. 

I've been pacing around, trying to think of something to do, but as soon as I know it, it's already midnight. 

Time to put my plan into action, I realize I've been wearing my crown this entire time so I went to put it back in it's glass box. Once I returned, I put on my bag and hooded coat while trying to make minimal noise as to not wake up anyone, especially Techno since his room is right next to mine. 

As I was about to leave, I take one last glace at my room. I was really gonna miss it, I've spent my entire life there, but I realize I'm about to start a new one. So with that, I quietly opened the door and quietly closed it behind me, it was dead silent other than the sounds of crickets. 

I started walking down the dark and empty hallway, as I passed Techno's room, I heard a voice, "Wilbur? What are you doing?"
