Tears spilled from my eyes to the bed. I was living in hell. Meeting people was getting increasingly difficult. It took all I had to maintain a sense of decorum.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArKp3IMP3
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeoWTJ4EXc
I squeezed the pillow in despair. I wish I could see my parents in order to apologize for my attitude at home so they could take me back home, away from this hell called hostel. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPLCMtLOML
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi68ZNdqiP
The big bell rang, signalling prep time. That was the only thing I liked about my school. I stuffed some books in my bag and checked my uniform for any sign of crease or rumple. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5AFsRRt8U
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDzNRqJepG
I smiled at my fuzzy attitude and left the room. I didn't care to lock the door because it was a secondary school and no one would come in unannounced.
I passed through a group of students running to get a good seat. The others walked sluggishly like they had all day. I pegged them as the new boarders. I inwardly felt sorry for them. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXClQo1xl6
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc84Az89kB
I made sure I was fast enough with my face stuck to the floor. I didn't want anyone to notice me and I didn't want to notice anyone. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNosfoNvZr
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd04hK7crTA
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPHF2tblzq
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392UomdsVY
I inwardly groaned. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkBnVOylpM
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPrIUrTvBi
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LTyRwGRAV
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHWkBwbdan
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLC2ZOLFPd
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz9kUFy3un
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0x7Z5fvZ1
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn8jmmuYu4
I paid her no attention. She was just a pest that I was trying to put up with. I went into the already filled up prep room, thanks to Vanessa. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbRyMP0fW
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz6BceGIBH
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKwZhklDn0
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2MxbkoD64
The room was huge. It had the library books on the right-hand side of the wall with chairs littered everywhere like a couple of rabbits. Nevertheless, it was clean.
I scanned the area for where to sit. I saw a familiar face. It was Chisom's. She was waving at me to come over. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY0pNdz1Zt
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWgHUuJtYl
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkYFrt6MkL
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G9luWjc0C
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53x317xE1A
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo0co7sXUk
I took a tissue paper and cleaned it, then proceeded to arrange my books in order. I smiled as I did that. Arranging things was my hobby. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf13YPbAlUB
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze3VgFtbYn
I sat down comfortably and started reading Introductory technology. It was so good summing up the mechanical tools and reading fundamental things. I call it the little physics. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEVyaryy80
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3LTG2PuAl
I was lost in the book that I never knew when someone came and sat beside me. I didn't know until she tapped my arm. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivUgzOmuy
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MWLiT4anN
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8881bumJ3K
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcRmp0MQgp
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdeXJEybMG
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOsZCHa8N4
Seriously, I didn't need any of that. So, I ignored her and continued to read.
She shook her head at me. I knew because I had a peripheral vision. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF85PNkWbi
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9LWi8LLOT
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHGhHb7Hdr
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl8vxFe0KS
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppy7ZliMgK
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzzMW5tjdZ
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18ig81E22c
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2K1xS7Fr0
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85xbEKvlwh
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf8UO0Kpz2
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqCpdh1hwT
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6QH8683WS
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnIolXp0ad
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdSExegnmG
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr4XLyOfsC
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxAHbMoAUa
“What was it with students that they don't listen when someone says they wanted to have their space. Well, I am going to bury myself in my book.” I proceeded to do just that. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzn54ZS8Qb
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKstKxkgiD
She came back again with her arm full of books. She dropped it on the table and brought another chair that she conveniently placed opposite me. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1WuhCNx6
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5qJg4MzYs
We read on our own. And I didn't really mind because she respected what I had said. It was so cool. After forty-five minutes had elapsed, the school bell rang. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nwS34E26Z
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyrEf8Mkpd
"Oh my God! I can't believe it. I read for forty five minutes without shaking my head! You are starting to rub off on me," Chisom screamed. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KoXvlrBHt
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Divgd8LVU
I hated noise and that's exactly what they were all giving me. I quickly grabbed my books and threw them into my bag. It was lunch time. I needed to hurry up. I ran off not bothering to answer Chisom. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQWdGpVov
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0mltHzT2Y
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSvAw73SU
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY5KQoga9a
I didn't stop but ran. I was one of the first students to reach the dining room. I took my food and went to the back, as usual. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z43WyXyMe
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsI2sjtVoh
There, I removed my medicine from its confines and drank two tablets. I breathed in and out. I rubbed my sweaty palm together. By now, students were trooping in in their numbers.
I ate my food quietly and went out of the dining room, heading straight to my room. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMetXeGP8xK
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH2mApOKre
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlTCqWr5uL
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jV3KgOtCc
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbJPVPqDb7
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4gThbdMv
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ndKZRnPjD
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVM63g7AAF
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFegw6xKW1
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzb02h7y35
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCAqryckIs
Exhausted, I threw my bag on the bed and laid down next to it. The medicine helped, but my body was starting to get irritated and my heart hurt. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzE6rVlBIb
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XdyU46sW
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr5GMFSMjS
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eCUtVUzU8
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtaztx5jG
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ks3W5jru
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtWLSd4N1r
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn84LTGf0hJ
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMvX6wXcN
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIH2NGsOsl
I tried to control myself so as not to collapse in front of her, but I couldn't. I felt darkness surround me and Chisom screaming for help.
