What was that?

New day came up and exams are about to begin.

"Dude, get up, our class is about to start."Raphael warned.

"Eeeeh? Oh god, 1 hour remaining and the exams are about to start!" I shouted in panic.

An hour later, I arrived at the college. 2 minutes left and exams are about to begin. I ran so hard that almost all of people around the college could hear my footsteps.

"Sorry s-sir, c-can we begin?" I gasped as I sat down on my chair.

From 10 a.m.to 2 p.m., the exams were over. I relaxed and thought of going back in my apartment and probably play some games, non stop. I kept making myself busy so that I'd forget what happened last night. That was a total nightmare if you ask me.

4 p.m. and I arrived at my apartment, looking so exhausted from that battle I had to go through inside that room full of questionnaires. I head towards the bed looking tired and decided to lie. One thing for sure that I hope is that I'm gonna pass the exams. Well, I've been sacrificing my health for that night cramming and my life for that creepy experience.

6 hours later and I end up playing games from the time that I've arrived. 6 hours straight without break.

*Someone knocked the door*

"Well, isn't this some horror stuff that is about to happen, in the middle of the night!" I thought.

This is the most chilling part since I'm about to peep on the door's peephole. Hoping that it won't turn into some kind of horror stuff.

*Peeps through the hole and saw Raphael*

"What the hell? You look wasted Raph, you drunk? You've never drank, as I recall things correctly." I asked.

"Gotta celebwrate yeaah? Exwams awre ovher!" Raphael replied.

"Results are not yet out, don't celebrate too early. Come here, I'll help you climb the bed."

"Thanath, whe've got to celebrwate no matter what!" Raphael responded in drunkenness.

As we walked from the door to our bed, I noticed someone was lying in his bed. I tried to keep my composure and decided to take off the blanket that is covering the random person. As I reached my hand towards the blanket, the random person turned and greet me.

"Oh, dude, you in already? Wait, who is that you're carrying?"

As I looked slowly to my left where I let Raph lie his head, I knew for sure that it isn't the same being I engaged on the door. I felt the heat from the thing I'm carrying and saw the faceless thing. I pushed him down. As I tried to get away from it, the thing grabbed my left arm and I felt its fingers that are as sharp as a nail. It wounded my skin as its fingers pierce through it. Lots of blood are spilled and the thing pulled my arm and was cut off. I wailed in agony as those piercing fingers brought me an indescribable pain. I cried and cried until I heard someone.

"Dude! You okay? You're playing games non-stop again aren't you?" Raphael asked while shaking me hard again.

"Nightmare? Again?" I thought.

"Gotta stop that hobby dude, not good for your health."

For a moment there, that moment felt real again. It should be the nectar of my sleepless nights that it made me see those nightmares.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Your imagination again playing with your head, come on now, try to relax and go to sleep."
