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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJanXeXhd7i
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU0O3xMHW9
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu1H2byx8y
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhTkMz8S6Y
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBsCcGiHRK
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbw1pvYFuz
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SLQb2DSPC
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8GVTyiUiw
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShjTm7jsuF
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzUtKxYRR6
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZtBAjRSRi
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwb1YRexmw
I inwardly groaned. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbVn4WHoJF
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3REjOkgZTQ
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1477kYBWRD
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJm61rJBTu
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lkNL9yFHm
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzPfs4kLD
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgyaVmV2g8
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvBAIJrkGP
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaroM42yudN
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHmaHvmrhD
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MpiSBGkun
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CjtirOVQo
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM75EihHoC
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBrNlEZfhx
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZBOvetmrL
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGASKSRSewp
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQBEM9m484
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9zClIVgkn
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR2hmZKBSr
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8csKnDBPr
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnKSWtfy0d
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzx4Bs62vB
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKZSQpitDG
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9490BdiRd
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ821Q0b7XzU
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtuP5KEnMZ
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZFe9fBBYI
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfVAKttScM
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0f3K9XC5d
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmnSO3HOJR
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxKxmuFblU
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuqEKYDaPR
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ66cgXRiT
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QesYcgdik
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKBMlBVRj6
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl3rYWXOgq
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ59rmmjW4P
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdcVI9i74
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIs35aupi
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxDqEg6wcJ
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡambtdB1wI7
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtgxhz6Yp
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqf0NiFMT
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHsfJNIks
“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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfChnuh4YQ3
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Ar4rbYxs
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskBGzeHYE
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptsy64Y0hx
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XDyZW0BYw
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd3xkbRnem
"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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMXToV8DHo
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfW6DhoAva
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTrm80364b
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TF2J4csBi
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgqe3NprPF
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKF4MBBFSA
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrbDhW3Rku
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GP2fI87vG
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7rsNxOCbp
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsAaUkdcU
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD7C27hr1e
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOzao7kbC0
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQP9MoUgzQ
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHe2b0BOjX
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rX7kmrOqa
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsenS4aJtf
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncWcLFMJ4P
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk64KX2qUV
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vk6ypRtzM
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. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQPhx0C5pO
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADmL4uqhGn
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzko728Rr6T
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4md0T4KuD
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtb1arycAJ
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVcEvII9Em
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffVINftQxs
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLD5oR0aH3
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi1KXoQgZK
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRrCj2NOuK
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.
