GABRIELA'S P.O.V662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkDwAPfbgO

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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNqHOXlYkA
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE5LdyuGIc
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3O4GGRPUE
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f3hfzQcYD
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs59d6kGJwh
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPksPnRZb
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpYHlci0Vd
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos7ssiCDiq
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSu5Cjb57H
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ek4VPEo4m
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT32ATgTum
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSqFmujg9M
I inwardly groaned. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OLP0uWW4U
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFSoTkZfe0
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsly9Za6uR
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqBUqso2o3
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQjf1ou5u5
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7wOhC6EhB
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHADXIXkAqp
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5xZ1Iijp
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5uTfjXktk
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5v1CrfFTT
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ2NYVplXs
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze0puxoi6r
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLk4nBO6wc
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHJZhc1QLp
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdMA9qngKi
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79BzujD9bj
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSdVyJ8xx
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4DYXnyxdr
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSm0eIQZe
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FscdlHHPl
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkGs5hB0zz
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O5qsrDV72
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ImN2rqA0
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP6QLOfNER
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxprMFeuC
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnmUyJzCf3
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEz7rZjHlm
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXzDi7Bg5t
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFQBAgXAlI
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBEgaKsYdC
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJScq6KlpM
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAG33uBfjm
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RaANL9rFN
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEnVzYHtyw
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT1pXbDDv8
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeMykW3ViV
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RoDJMs6gM
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycaWPrEhXh
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFEkbresT0
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8DGCtOtQV
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOinMGOeZSK
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj8I5uCvYO
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Z0giw7Zl
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcokb8JTCe
“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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdC9rgzNW
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SJVznR52d
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXSjyHdqsA
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSjQiz2Cme
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQaByuKrRS
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgEIzqNCfK
"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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rDLVRzyvO
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAky5aY4nYp
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVroeDP1rB
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4G2iqRto7
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfJ95pH5hl
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDtcc4CFb1
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbBSOcmxQT
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKaJk4CHIF
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxpbQGkaPu
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWATOu7mCa
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGdXBFiixH
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMOJ3wE2yv
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaylOReXwKL
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYrM2Eq1Fp
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OJQ8IXnOp
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqU969ZVoh
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO0Ky67P30
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP49LCsjm2
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1u80Vj3gu
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURWKUhhmSI
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIAOyoLkkI
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3AQaumFzZ
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPtJ95cin1
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW76DEH322X
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xDWIg9nlQ
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE08rNieIP
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwG8fDcyYs
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo7Zm6PDBJ
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm40LrgtnUf
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.
