GABRIELA'S P.O.V690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbYmEhWwMn

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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO5Captkd2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuPwlTH6cg
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpF7jUMkfK
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpFqA3Hltf
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDFGKfGns6
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4yBr07TcK
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0BQnfFKD3
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpibqjQyBU
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vQOLK2Lom
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPPZ2F7vCL
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdltv1gOaZ0
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFeKAwbFy
I inwardly groaned. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD9qKUPmW7
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMNGNQ6Zdq
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeiRN8PNkq
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdAs3FKiET
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1JWilkC4p
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IT6fOwP6q
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi07AJTHzQG
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmFr3rXf0R
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESL1nyyZez
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3cUduSzq8
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84zQcu6gm1
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEJz8jSbTO
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AukUniMp4
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRscF9AaS
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUKavif7Af
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmIOh3SzEL
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwftEZZHBnN
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OjgTZ47aT
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3A2WblSBj
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLpfDrZzCl
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TfDxu3He2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaFy4784IH
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs69xUBZJgc
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ipZApVet
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68NvGm19m6
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8VaEJaJEa
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoz1iETjJr
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz0ruhgYP4
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb2kNKhQHw
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5wrqnVZMM
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxyHYSGd80
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN1FEQn2cf
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNwhXeBm6
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKgUiKzlZw
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQctkjRqB0
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyXQAc5boO
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTovISG6SS
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNePvl9PR6
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqLhi7Adr
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtttO7FG6e
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lbYtmLo7s
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzTGWiHmaR
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAiOfDCz63
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0hxpxBj6
“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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYL87WiR30
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfypV1mhTd
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStKEDkBKE0
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll91xFYXxD
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9gYnXlIAc
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXcsEHAouq
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgQ3NjFBli
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgsyklS2S
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOi3ih7kQ7
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2UzPWCiVz
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIOOrIM3Kf
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw01ocVl1tX
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFoaPbF3XD
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9SrKpFBkh
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAXOSAdGI2
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbiB91kVBk
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwFfWpMgT2
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpsSj3hlgf
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FApOHCgn6
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfKTifw9KV
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIIIs4cTeE
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQfrNWKy2
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCjTIBc3k
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF9wBlNWs9
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbmis8oksl
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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfbhpQrxJp
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC4umo1hE1
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhngLscVm5
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dgxu3sMlr
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz5Zi4Qkk9
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cVlrzHLsE
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9h2BFdhxo
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VjyMuTTDU
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3s1dMJufq
690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMOswyjreI
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.
