GABRIELA'S P.O.V907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZUSfmO4ha

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.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS7Errxrh7
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6INl8rO3JG
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGN93S6VCk
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2xPglcsSi
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTzIlESJOl
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFezihViF0i
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvewKbVmGrh
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboFtd513Hv
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitMGctH47V
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQBu6F1PA
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLHBPfVp9U
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYf2r66gc0
I inwardly groaned. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmSUXm7mik
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57O8sPPF9o
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsAOqFxxC3
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuHVAeSZ3G
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dRUdAt4Q1
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFYHm5WMc0
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN7VWjEPrR
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZYHndObIH
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3jeXLGtKz
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOXILT6SmU
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGs1qKS3gl
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaZoFY6Qxx
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWpWrVQW6M
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIw71nC7ny
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw56b7eaIba
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4peKmi239N
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡillyZwNWNL
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA9z3p7occ
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoGVTcwDXb
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwf5Za90jv
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu84EMdG8Pj
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGWKC3XWwh
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NuOZ7ruDe
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgfeob0pbF
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYzAZLb2Kt
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QNd7qfOo0
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TTWHO0f6n
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs88cXmjmZ6
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9fhW9FnUP
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmSZFYzX7
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI9lHLXGl9
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA936VumTnx
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLgFwAayI
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx0xACJ8IF
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2PuDiERG9
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbUEoieYfU
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1YSNTUzgZ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXms4ZQD0pr
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8E15Kuv9y
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFzkrKjoFF
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqodKB6vtG
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TQJBQrjKB
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1lrKLSpyp
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB92UEOEAA
“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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3NacT6uO
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdGE0kZKFZ
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMuLchF9Or
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uod8RRUZl
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmuMDlVeOf
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6YFdmwafP
"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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmspez5hoL
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUqpV5YBEa
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqP07FN18r
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MYBHLLiks
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dx4wL2YOc
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd06z4JHQdJ
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGz66QIpv
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnRQw3fB1R
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilQ4oBye8y
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVer35aUhJi
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2aGL3Gt5S
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS645xoRjcd
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RtC8S9Knx
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5W7UnvlnM
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv81xiVrr20
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5pW1UfLOD
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y6mbzVa1L
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswAYr9Usma
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2P9lW3b1Y
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. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwBs9AxGt
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo8cNvwHTa
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAHEW2I6h8
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZTmq0B0pe
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioivMw9aEZ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPlB6nPVK0
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRZWkyUChs
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw4gqg9hMX
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1RAnHs9ui
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE0Ml5vBeP
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.
