This is taking too long; I won't get the project done if I keep going at this pace. I stare at my half-done creation on a table in front of me. It's the shell of an RC car, components inside but it's still not working.

I only have 3 more days to finish this dumb car; I can't afford to get an F on this. Ugh, why is engineering so much harder than I thought it'd be?

I should take a little break; I've been going at this for like 4 hours straight now. Standing up, I look around. I'm in a big classroom, with a big whiteboard in front of me and many desks facing it. There's no one else in here with me; I asked the professor earlier if I could stay behind for a while.

This room is so depressing, at least when you're alone. The gray walls are making me feel trapped and claustrophobic. If it weren't for the windows, I wouldn't be able to stay in this room without panicking.

Remembering the windows, I walk towards them and look out. The view is fantastic. I'm really high up, and the view is nothing but forest and mountains. This university was built in the woods, quite far from civilization; I think it was to provide better concentration for the students.

The sky is a beautiful orange; I should probably head back to my room; it's getting late. Turning around, I pick up the unfinished RC car and head out the door. It opens and leads to an intersection.

I head left, passing classrooms after classrooms till I reach a flight of stairs. I climb them and see another corridor in front of me. There are doors lined all through the hallway, each being numbered. These are the dorms.

I walk through the corridor, looking for room nr.47, and eventually find it. The door looks identical to all the others in the hallway, silver doorknob and a dark wood material used as the door. I open it and head inside; the inside is quite empty. There's an open door to my left, leading to a bathroom and an open room further ahead.

I put the RC car down on the floor, head inside the bathroom, brush my teeth, shower, and head back out towards the open room further ahead. There's a medium-sized bed, big enough to house one person comfortably, a desk and a drawer.

There are windows on the farthest wall, the view identical but still different from the classroom. Curtains cover half of the windows; I must've been lazy this morning, not fully opening them.

I head toward the desk and put the RC car down; I still can't figure out what I've done wrong with it. It feels like it should be working. Did I get malfunctioning parts?

It's getting late; I should sleep on it; maybe I'll be able to come up with a solution. Turning towards the bed, I open the covers and get inside. It's really soft; it might even be a better bed than the one I had at home. It takes a while, but eventually, I start dozing off to sleep, everything turning dark.

I hear birds chirping, and bright light seeps through my eyelids. Did I forget to cover the windows with curtains?

Opening my eyes, I'm suddenly confused. I'm lying on my back and staring up; there's dark blue cloth above me, sort of like I'm in a canopy bed. Sitting up, I'm even more confused. I'm definitely in a canopy bed; it's covering all sides around me, and I can't see where I am.

This isn't my dorm room bed. The bed is enormous, like a few meters across, and entirely made of white linen. It's really comfortable. Where am I?

I gather my courage, scootch over to one of the sides of the bed and pull open the curtain. I'm in a grand room, like really big, way bigger than my little dorm room. It's filled to the brim with decorations and furniture, including plants, paintings, statues, couches, etc.

Why am I in some big shots bed? There's a mirror on one of the walls further away; I stand up and head towards it. What I see confuses me a lot; it's not me.

Back on earth, I had black hair, brown eyes, round ears, and a small nose. The reflection I'm currently seeing is of a kid with brown hair, green eyes, and pointy ears. What's happening?

The reflection doesn't look too old, maybe around 9 years old. I'm 19, though...

What is happening? I do a quick 360 to line out the room, looking around to see if I might find some clues somewhere. I see a desk a little further away in the corner of the room, as well as a door next to it. The door is a dark wooden color, contrasting the entire room's white walls.

I head for the desk; maybe there's a book explaining everything? Although I'm not sure how you can explain the fact that I'm a different person. There are only a few things on the desk.

A paper is full of numbers arranged in different ways; it looks like math problems. Wait, is that mine? I have math homework?

Looking at the other stuff on the table, there's a pencil, a book, a candle, and a stack of sheet paper. I reach for the book and open it; there's writing inside; however, nothing useful to me. It has some text about an old king or something; ugh, why am I going through some kid's homework?

I do another 360 to see if I can find something useful. There's nothing. I guess there's only one thing I can do, open the door.

Walking over towards it, I grab the knob with my hand and twist. I slowly push it open and glimpse through the small gap in the door; there's a hallway outside, also filled to the brim with decorations.

It looks safe enough. Opening it fully, a view of a grand hallway enters my eyes; there are two ways to go, left or straight. eenie meenie miney mo! Straight.
