GABRIELA'S P.O.V633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvS3gbDYzA

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTCfiUnZG
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvpUr4TOYy
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuuJzi5r6n
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDDH67Mh6x
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkPImOX1Ry
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjyRrP9HpJ
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Be2Jmt9D
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34rTVuAwX1
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W8dw0RSuT
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgtes0xf0b
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUesQKnQWu
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYwVHtlq7R
I inwardly groaned. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IEUq3CNZI
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMUqz6Bmic
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuk6Y4BPjw
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FWMb9hPtf
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKpMG38VDn
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8GJQTBS6
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHaoVjjlpZ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pqm7B1sN4
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv0aDPeQ3u
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CPzs6iYF9
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebrWKb2RIv
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwLiv9zfaH
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgpCCpNpF2
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z4mri4vpL
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cVj3wwmrY
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcswNUqJ5PR
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcJ0qKUWy9
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyljnzJEriQ
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBiz5ezC0j
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu342olW11
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GaKHFSuyZ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1fWSWEeFn
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt37MDICI4f
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI2DG1QyVd
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnEzVu2fQE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uv25oNbGV
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy8Q7GOdux
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYQfd24h8t
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MX6CxSL9X
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdyp7mcbRg
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkUa0jwLnQ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2AZN4Soar
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMAUxQlyhb
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47vVE9wP2x
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadzpxty69W
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mra6WDudm
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4CKrAHyvi
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLchVBtssTX
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIBVjsZVDm
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTvM1BYDJn
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK68okpMlX
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2boVrpqLb5
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKACEyIa7mo
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vuxK1an5Z
“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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8uXTKNeZz
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl20rCVIHYe
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZA2kNtdn
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHmesCOSfa
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBSA5f42rF
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqSKSPwrbg
"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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm9i27ILV7
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDglZjfkzIo
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdJPlP31u7
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zsq1xxhxD
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WRvvATXaB
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBIHbAuDr
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyLiGa29S2
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQVFGONbH
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHclReLmdtz
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtRnnX5263
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiT14MLbDj
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxyDEGHIK4
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3azRSYixN
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQmOX2vITW
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fCCbqdvlp
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneXMEXToVg
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqqAsdzeF8
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXbaYyC1BC
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd1t6f6Hcs
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. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9SZylkfZS
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI3oS6aFmw
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ouzSekv3w
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhfliDbLcw
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMYfi9eep9
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeWEWcaReE
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8y1azRCLc
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDGjZMkdec
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb438pfmGx
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRY9jru02M
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.
