GABRIELA'S P.O.V692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MtD4G9qAf

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.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnWgaffhSh
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIl2micbaJ
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjF4nNfHgm
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKOVLxqlqB
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZFdSQlHPc
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m7V9o94fa
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLENAUpNvN
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS58R3CByuW
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK6lUYwS1F
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9DfCCYyOJ
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6eRde0EGE
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEC4TBT0rt
I inwardly groaned. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pBsKeLRZ
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oTPRl4fAH
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlU1uKpkmD
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqceu20SCi
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gqiFSBKiH
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss4jgD4HOC
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAvJYojRwf
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Dpdx9kbE
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gx3yRx1V
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcqXdg6m5
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3s63Ck3T2
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuPbMxrpkf
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rib4paA0D
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q9StLsx5S
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cKbE23qYq
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJJC4cHA9
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ907rbm17QW
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxNMbaSUjG
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0196gO00r2
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pzAaF6coE
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Z1vqQycl
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiVJD0YQ6p
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWK1Qo7f14
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqTkSLeVR
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY1TQpo9Rw
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2UbXUTAri
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3W0fcy6cZ
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqKk3BTNez
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUwedyAZV1
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADwKFIPaUu
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hHP9d72fB
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFoaYeIzEJ
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XAOwEIHaA
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag5It07OAo
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkFDpHkbpE
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm8a7mdLKA
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnVSFGxNiL
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSgsEhdcDS
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvrMHVmYdJ
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7WucRynut
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ZT3V2kGv
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPNPn45bv9
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIAT1Y0SEG
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OrAKCoaCi
“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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprRoRqTdLK
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Jc9kdrsM
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nF9fpHZ6N
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFipGBhLKC1
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ53Lo6psTQ
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDPtqJ760g
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaE8i4caBL
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbzuywXzva
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyg8nJekyx
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaM0FAh7nn
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWbggc0ptC
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcVoVXWj6
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCedEy7qMsN
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OizrQIBX7
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhXWHHuSwr
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca2tuhx1jk
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua4YGV84uP
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7zTq0NO2P
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5lTLbG1eA
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q5kWZUlGP
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VsFA8X1ul
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomvGU0twuY
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOK6yElPJ
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizJ3GszqPw
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJEBx1Nnz
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiz39lEK6S
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv9aTaNub8
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR7CS465NB
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE5HdaqyQj
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZIVmTzmku
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRhoqwyBYx
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMiUM4TfBB
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpNGADpS7v
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwKLZ4QWxH
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGTMrkBMNd
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.
