A few hours later, "ugh," Dennis opened his eyes. He blinked, looking at the white ceiling that he recognized all too well; he was in the school infirmary. Then he raised his arm over his eyes to shield them from the bright glare of the lights.
"No more dreams, huh... I slept as soundly as a log," Dennis muttered in his heart.
"Whoa... the sleeping prince finally woke up."
Dennis turned to see Nicole, the school nurse and health teacher, sitting in a chair next to the bed. She was leaning back, her eyes glued to the smartphone screen in her hand.
"Oh... hello, Ms. Nicole," Dennis greeted, getting up and sitting on the bed.
"Back here again, are you? Didn't get enough sleep last night?" Nicole asked casually, still looking at her smartphone and not turning to look at Dennis at all.
"Um... yeah, I had a lot on my mind last night, haha," Dennis answered while rubbing the back of his head and laughing awkwardly.
