GABRIELA'S P.O.V688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27t92ou4ce

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.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHObgsaLhp
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CEbsR911U
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S0BcbEBwp
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrVD4Pv1xb
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4eW6JeijO
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzngjSPIceb
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYkDOS8gvm
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2RNnRV8yz
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K5gTIoroz
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdLTlr3Dnk
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcbDPqRYNI
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZuhTQBh4P
I inwardly groaned. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZON1b4Xi6o
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2eRk8dnZ
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBeroO4yEM
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP8FpAjxqf
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdqA5313Wq
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmKKIwHEHB
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZ4VFa8PQ
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lQBzyJig1
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPPvkU1quj
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39LwqloQsl
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLgtQngsmU
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMzVKcfef
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGRMdwvxYx
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZdXNi7ga
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2nKMDG0k
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEEyLhsfMI
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPME2XtV2wO
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5mHwRz3ge
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMY1r3z1PW
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMwMkX4OfU
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJVe78skvu
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUKbsCESD
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOvfvoxvBK
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15V0l0kWAa
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv9hbedjPD
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0MYWWp2vQ
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZKHSfaBLx
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDpWxUBtA
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEOF1HL4kh
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NbjYeJMS5
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcVRgI8VeY
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDep6f5kaWY
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdsae1kaEF
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTaKsccejm
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhYlIKd1L
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzOIS83if1
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsatTrCBIC
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV9Bmsh66z
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwbbrZoWI6
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4GXQvKa9h
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiGzk4DHnM
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48LrRsF8i
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8fKmMqf4A
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD9eQIpIBb
“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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgpYU8IUA3
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu2nf3ixtG
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVmqOVFNRc
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19QQ70TWdA
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtcgdMAj1y
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIb91tetbm
"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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TM1zvkS9U
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eqloUlHPa
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon1TVhlCzU
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORICXEI6Ag
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ0jl4JrEk
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgVQLkJ3CJ
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXvekOE1uZ
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qEb8LsKii
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi0mTk2x4F
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVrucsJh0i
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48RYaR2KYx
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJPMIfxaS
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfPviTzHCS
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobc1uqEoLE
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGB7ZmsM73
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgbu0nq3w
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHs1OzlkKu
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xc7CAzuOl
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BbpCkC41k
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. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQzR6atwNQ
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3idXV89btr
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKYNqJKoN
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrpJUB6red
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYpp27Q41h
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMlsjhsZ5
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzlT88kcc5
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwzhcNrDNx
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0bpeImOd6
688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MIc5o7zHK
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.
