GABRIELA'S P.O.V924Please respect copyright.PENANAv3XVJQXf6W
924Please respect copyright.PENANAMY61cKmVWN
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAnsLHx0VySn
924Please respect copyright.PENANA3euHFQx8JN
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANADWCNl6f3XK
924Please respect copyright.PENANACjvyEZ2yME
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANATIDvZAhVhG
924Please respect copyright.PENANAyWVgyAAvEC
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAL74B0gDxC0
924Please respect copyright.PENANATXaQpx3FL6
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAoip8MQADzY
924Please respect copyright.PENANABJeVLNk61I
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 924Please respect copyright.PENANA4JpDgcDqN3
924Please respect copyright.PENANAvnU2vVX8Ec
I inwardly groaned. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAbNriGOEcR1
924Please respect copyright.PENANASxfQIUuiXL
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAg5yTdcSGSs
924Please respect copyright.PENANAooCq2tkSFz
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAVhxYUw11yN
924Please respect copyright.PENANAedVVyRqFfQ
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAoSFJokh3qW
924Please respect copyright.PENANAT7OqK04jwc
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAsso1ufQirn
924Please respect copyright.PENANA8VLtFVbaJc
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAQgqwkSragT
924Please respect copyright.PENANASdOWlFm3Az
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAOLUh5VgC1C
924Please respect copyright.PENANAjxWTHfKZ4Q
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 924Please respect copyright.PENANA8DJ8C9OJKT
924Please respect copyright.PENANAxnU20FQixH
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 924Please respect copyright.PENANArmW8OvXiwt
924Please respect copyright.PENANAByLb9BB83g
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAdXotnj8v3g
924Please respect copyright.PENANArCxi13QMLa
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANA8NPfhJeJeO
924Please respect copyright.PENANAPw60I5J4vP
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANA30JtK8pg2x
924Please respect copyright.PENANA2BOjizs3He
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAJuF5IYHWMP
924Please respect copyright.PENANAVPqjZdw2wn
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAxfdepyjRbG
924Please respect copyright.PENANA61RHcgvmKh
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAB2NSLZA8qb
924Please respect copyright.PENANAxYDjdYtTGG
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAFNBIjJWE4o
924Please respect copyright.PENANAf0XOMjgvDu
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAr0FFsX60A7
924Please respect copyright.PENANAUieGlNVGJt
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."924Please respect copyright.PENANA6wF1sbytfU
924Please respect copyright.PENANAGabvnTF1Ob
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAn8CpUmXQ0F
924Please respect copyright.PENANANtiLkpy63o
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 924Please respect copyright.PENANA4dEFVrWgcU
924Please respect copyright.PENANATYCm1X8Sfp
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"924Please respect copyright.PENANAjdA7X9EWic
924Please respect copyright.PENANARxrB6i7xdW
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAXO84GiOO2z
924Please respect copyright.PENANAi1DK3dYLDB
“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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ9lyVthzD
924Please respect copyright.PENANA2kC5Shui6y
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAseVCifRwn8
924Please respect copyright.PENANAJmmLG3YhLa
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAIzBah8E7Cn
924Please respect copyright.PENANAHRLMvDNPbT
"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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Jw4jMlmf
924Please respect copyright.PENANApfg7ja6Odl
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAOwlHeEKezL
924Please respect copyright.PENANAAd92uG04p4
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAjizrZstVIS
924Please respect copyright.PENANAa7v0Woe4nF
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAaBT9fuuTHl
924Please respect copyright.PENANAwYEcKGfeHW
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAnwwyoGBlxo
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAOBLEbonGuI
924Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZMeHiEs87
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.924Please respect copyright.PENANAjGa7ENmslh
924Please respect copyright.PENANAnoxiQBThbi
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAEIHlneEZrL
924Please respect copyright.PENANAPyRcJSteBu
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 924Please respect copyright.PENANARaPMcfxMs1
924Please respect copyright.PENANAs8210AcR4R
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 924Please respect copyright.PENANABHih8vkIlb
924Please respect copyright.PENANAWk2I3UbPh5
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. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAv6WuDi3pb5
924Please respect copyright.PENANAxPomnFpCWu
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.924Please respect copyright.PENANA0L0UFybayy
924Please respect copyright.PENANAKv0EIRQyVw
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.924Please respect copyright.PENANAdO3lJ72tlE
924Please respect copyright.PENANAdHaCjHZEGz
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAEkftaEv6fd
924Please respect copyright.PENANAI2jl9L8EuX
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 924Please respect copyright.PENANAGcOnQrzIah
924Please respect copyright.PENANAj6wKcHDK3u
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.
