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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Rwf8AlM2
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTtBhmKXbl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIEAAyeu6U
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZZjtZvf3S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmRahhqm8P
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ZXneNLMO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBbIiIdn5A
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8VrnDOBm3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjb5rwmCUa
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypNLTbV6R5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoRxJRkIA3
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8vaHCjKFJ
I inwardly groaned. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoxM5en37B
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvOtVEw6E
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BiMesiXt6
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zQHLjulai
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57SCWsCYWa
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQLx9dUYY4
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiwttTuaCI
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK2JxhfmeJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzch1vdTqh
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdt6pz8CZ9
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK2pNE7qBz
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXWh6mHPSI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN78qeyVdbR
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPZY14fUiY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVQXgvQDQN
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EBJToXJx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ds9HK3drz
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5O5WRUrHS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy1ZtVSNZz
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ye4CK1fe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlurcqvksRJ
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e24qbivEK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dAlQThKxb
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I2KCPoupC
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqmIDP3QF
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocp3HkjKQF
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcd9cK6NSO
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqsn5UWb68
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rtf4yLgB7
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYIactpVV6
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZuWuy9zl5
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsizW69Lgyv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SbR8lAUVj
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkSDL64Z0u
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXppKhPUm7
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiRTcoSShV
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel2sMKHqoU
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaABHtANAEX
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw46f3wUAH
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV1a0UXaER
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuNF9KZX31
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaRHBj8H5Q
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhzFgF7yTw
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPXtHnX9Ox
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCDvRwtaa
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5q1kvSU69
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc8T7pD2jV
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCBxbjoBqA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhGPViMRf7
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MPoW0tSg3
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGudasf3mQ
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwWSYkDFCN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvYxo9eO4z
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiDreguQFF
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQstA19V0x
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3rdfm2Il9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7zZJjNfeo
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsibRMjbbDw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN4VqX6UJ4
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JmeykYgrQ
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tfGLCC8hT
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwB0l6fgy7
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoBwuxG4aX
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOauw81YUIE
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCctkpISua
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ncrByR6yx
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg85z3HkhiD
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KmiqzQu37
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHw0LZOBxJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3fLGE2Q4M
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5YglyHGeF
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXA5AL4k9I
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU4LldvnyG
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pi98NFV11
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtUMkY1BVL
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAfOvhvrR1
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lNbFnJsld
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryYLLqOio9
660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63isfKqeVc
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.
