GABRIELA'S P.O.V660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBTyVjxM8R
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC3EwpZPTb
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.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveC5hvVw4y
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FEv4KEjG3
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPTcoEfbT
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzuKRuWqUz
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbFr7MDV7D
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCtFVYaZTA
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt5Qq4eRkT
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vDxeRc6pN
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6iDLki7pw
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzgjPvQQ9f
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ9CJW2WAY
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aCJj4RWp5
I inwardly groaned. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Pw8FeffR
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUb61j8YIK
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdm4UwcNu9
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuCiaFEBDO
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBSDYsXN2b
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKHcay1Brp
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa5fdsK010
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AwezLtmEP
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHt6IyKXlv
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78pwvC4Lpi
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmW6CGA2NZ
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzAtpFt4aE
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkrZvcHLVb
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy2KYNglqF
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8mGuLk3PD
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA78xGpAsG
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ741uyYN1AN
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwltelBVN4d
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUjK6ia4ye
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo3alHs3dc
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr819huhR5h
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24T9Q6O2R
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcBcft8GF0
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFgDFb0Tpg
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidPMXbIKzC
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZVWBexDL
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyepMd89Nqj
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbDBU1rq4l
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtM7qxydZv
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXNZcXf4AO
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbWTQRz83r
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDXzsI5cBK
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUl9pRWQ4E
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzRauA40uW
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqkKkq16zR
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJbESMCMTP
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwGpOQCZnx
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQHe1ola55
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxKZmit70P
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCnmfkcNPI
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bs8cbY6hU
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb468QmgI1
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH846ioweh9
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKczTmcj5
“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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFfzxajpi
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj0CujG8ie
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2YpgAEudZ
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ABEO2bChk
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsNK2DOXG8
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPbpEF9C4F
"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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2AxHGjGf4
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4zDAkCA8F
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jnlJcQdX
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOobEHk72
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ2oP7dWxs
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEPeHA4gw
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW4OU2lgGV
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FepVboRlU
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdynbIhi93
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZjyB2R712
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTsR3t1XSz
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUsxkBHaLf
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIc0r1YiRS
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySX460sPU8
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ag9Co2dY5
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QYpOkG9Ad
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfWzHl1cls
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYgvd4HoI9
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvWWdxd5nc
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. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKxVrIoeq9
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeyVoULRFA
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ2A3do5Ap
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYcXzJpjD
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zfXnPcl4
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIndZP6Aq
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c58C4RRmL
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6mIZ7afL8
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYnQRQQ7M
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPqmduNIap
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.
