GABRIELA'S P.O.V909Please respect copyright.PENANAR625nNbHPu
909Please respect copyright.PENANAw1tlvUxbL8
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.909Please respect copyright.PENANAfRsb01pna7
909Please respect copyright.PENANAyGk6mFT9tT
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAVSXdslGG7W
909Please respect copyright.PENANA8K4H5dGybS
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANABPpUEK0qAa
909Please respect copyright.PENANAjU3A7qc0kV
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAtD3O5kEWAZ
909Please respect copyright.PENANA3te4XzhcY7
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAjI35RmTmr5
909Please respect copyright.PENANAr5lVmdF5FB
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAisRfX7WVYk
909Please respect copyright.PENANACzPpNRo1b3
I inwardly groaned. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAEAk22IxyBu
909Please respect copyright.PENANARJYLf3pAyE
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 909Please respect copyright.PENANATEuiYAxGOS
909Please respect copyright.PENANA8ahAQA08yQ
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAHFmwXLReDu
909Please respect copyright.PENANAunrnVdrIkq
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA4omxxga3e9
909Please respect copyright.PENANAv1ioQmSWJs
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAiZXgVdc2oP
909Please respect copyright.PENANABZOul6kDIX
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA5sesmELLtp
909Please respect copyright.PENANAzIrJZyB5ur
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAJS1c09cnBR
909Please respect copyright.PENANAjO3KeHxyMx
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 909Please respect copyright.PENANAPtMfzDiOX0
909Please respect copyright.PENANA8J1c1zeFPj
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAZs2zMq6bo2
909Please respect copyright.PENANAwh1IYaqTT1
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA322Yus5x3x
909Please respect copyright.PENANAtEFhq5JRIJ
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAkGrUBql3Xp
909Please respect copyright.PENANAAxW0ANV7Gt
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAAt1RPV0Kiw
909Please respect copyright.PENANAjeWAQEBTef
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA5OVqd9LLTA
909Please respect copyright.PENANADINDZcdfvi
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 909Please respect copyright.PENANADi2xT5b1bw
909Please respect copyright.PENANAHm7z1TntDb
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9kiLUHqjl
909Please respect copyright.PENANAWMmzl7p50D
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAnlpQbqJgos
909Please respect copyright.PENANAXBbz7cT6rE
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAr2MeARFWoK
909Please respect copyright.PENANAZRn2kYkbBz
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."909Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4fCAPB7VT
909Please respect copyright.PENANAHfyXiE0lzc
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wxn6RFI5e
909Please respect copyright.PENANAZfdcJ2qxk4
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAtVz7zQ7dA4
909Please respect copyright.PENANAxBE2sbXren
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"909Please respect copyright.PENANAFcIFfPrsdV
909Please respect copyright.PENANAJNZenZ0hQj
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAkGc8vquoqC
909Please respect copyright.PENANAz62bwAlB7v
“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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAIc62mwgwlx
909Please respect copyright.PENANAtyniMErjzR
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAPHIUxELwQp
909Please respect copyright.PENANAxkHbDBPDqK
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA4fNAbxmBow
909Please respect copyright.PENANAHx5U8L6wBn
"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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAzRatKk3igb
909Please respect copyright.PENANAFRNNFAddnV
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAYp1M5YAovE
909Please respect copyright.PENANAGI1y6k35bf
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAGQtpXpoFrG
909Please respect copyright.PENANAdYZk9osfOx
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAvxewbAmRCu
909Please respect copyright.PENANAtxrZ2SrLQd
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAnkdz5KoQCM
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 909Please respect copyright.PENANADCaJuHWEPv
909Please respect copyright.PENANAbonKtEcRLt
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.909Please respect copyright.PENANAclXwuyw2nQ
909Please respect copyright.PENANAKMFZn3zLAp
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA3xTd8pR01k
909Please respect copyright.PENANA9mzfEcyRY5
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 909Please respect copyright.PENANA6DzP0qZTeK
909Please respect copyright.PENANApuqwnaLpsM
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 909Please respect copyright.PENANANz2Kxm3tKU
909Please respect copyright.PENANAzDZONrGqXj
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. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAZba5po0sZS
909Please respect copyright.PENANAUqLGnqP6LS
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.909Please respect copyright.PENANA8V03z28g8O
909Please respect copyright.PENANApWDTLs5RFS
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.909Please respect copyright.PENANA8vYqMehwcG
909Please respect copyright.PENANAhDEU2wUSBS
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAX68hbw6v39
909Please respect copyright.PENANA330gKIpZxn
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 909Please respect copyright.PENANAgOINR92sGM
909Please respect copyright.PENANA64xerEIjzx
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.
