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.723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9UmoIyqLx
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE1JHO9AEl
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65TzXicJU
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qQAKc6IYH
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphBw5sqCGu
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG28hSOihQE
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwp8mclbOC
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwarmtl74c7
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphEK5DUhP4
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMbRbvOA6b
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8MYWBfFqt
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xrfbfsfsb
I inwardly groaned. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRJVVH24ay
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVtKGksivd
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dajefz9eV
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1jpgxflHa
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7olfvBuvi2
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCTayWkdXL
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xRPO8MPwy
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2GYeADJY7
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmAObm8Vuz
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfOk4PX25J
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82dlhSeqdV
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW2z1kKXbd
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb8AxgStW2
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwjf9WUJ3G
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gk4FJdfhJ
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27mvX3WiQV
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV9wTdDHKd
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXauiGHtefr
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIZqqhb3Cb
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlHHhP7dL
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYqOI6SFJN
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2RG5kJ5NC
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWAFBNxUiK
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKchcGA6V0n
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcxx6aydN
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2vshXHNZT
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Be67YKvm
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMFQngYgK
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZgtjqOa2
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz6NzKKw9V
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcvXTYS8rl
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcE5rdr1gn
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpOcUWjfN2
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphkFhclLV4
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEVXK82O4Q
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxuzo1gEK3
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElDLB42Sk5
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFVCDBVw4
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR4IjegUL1
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvv98iHD8O
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV47RMQynuu
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgs3MQjk6n
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XHOpe6CmA
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb5KWp5MSn
“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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMYlIZOjnv
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMpzLdviwh
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2vQXaQaET
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9Orb3IqF
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKi7VFOr4V
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpSBUtn1WK
"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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOa0nlT8XI
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDLLdFdZkj
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57xS38HujN
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjJ44Ae2jZ
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgizhf6bhtL
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QWTRivYic
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HXmTsD2fA
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5K8xYd1ni
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm0DXEnMq5
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbryPacpq8V
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eSvaI3FY7
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonQfbokyze
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBaM61ihQr
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiedBuTnK7
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPepOrwOyOI
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1KVdd1qyf
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvywQRg1VS3
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL0NOfSHAk
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOB2zMtBWH
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. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy2Pee1bYk
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWG0OtVh6d
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBvmNrF9UJ
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONchDR5Vs3
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubBlUB6xqj
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFMeGrB3Pv
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ZVqlBPQ9
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvPFbTSl0S
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKmVKjs6qe
723Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXolB4ar91Q
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.
