GABRIELA'S P.O.V692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cBXhPsjuy

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2AuKS6F3v
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO06ZZGWD0i
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL88eTIAzM9
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl16Qis0Xx9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJcB2IfCtb
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRgWdnqi1O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YajvuAxwH
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxEKEXdOOu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NDDcOMyJr
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSNrI8A6Uf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIWTnx5kj7
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnrhUsKYyT
I inwardly groaned. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY6f5Xm5xM
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrujoJL1plx
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZWYEbNym
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh2eYtjPve
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8urI7fQj
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaflDtUFhl9
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnFlT3V30D
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7Xq4oJrC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5d0b9CepT
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx89Scjhb5P
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKX5RHKRn
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQCm1VdaPD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq33upNc8c
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yLjhxxWrM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt8RvGc6al
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWGcyD6OM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdxWkIlSnm
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdHk2IzXTQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ZIDwxd3C
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pqRr0qtQb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcO5pajfK0
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAHQaRj8Sc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSwfkDQCDM
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspohTfAHsx
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD5nT3xkU3
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyvQKIQtnA
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1blIveghwr
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbr7UScsL7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQYGJO4teb
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCx3A8BZQo
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRlf936Vs
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzy4LF3GFq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQYM6gwfye
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkbbV0f5hq
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBpu2TgvJG
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECgu6nWWJF
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjtcgXQZoZ
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2zUiXAtBf
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVMcKpmXZI
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrGsnrvobS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbItKlad9y
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x5t3arJaT
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62wTKEPWiN
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fuljSbTUx
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDFZ3FlNgn
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HK96rTPLB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGELZQBRQ7
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eTBinF4jm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxXEqRKf74
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBL8tz7oAv
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iBefbX4uf
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6otkQNWwnb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XDDlW7j3r
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvVSsl5K7
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dwQYmgElT
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqF0sTcDgW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJq5b0F2I
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iFr276YQx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4lWPXt4dy
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gT5sOQzIN
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGs1ma4Oc3
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLhX98P5dQ
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh3N3zQ4bS
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBMLyRBJUq
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCE82alztF
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxemPwJNFmj
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMo2Uy6rvT
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy6jKLcqJk
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1vZcbWa5j
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt8NTUMFsj
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2H0Fw6ufG
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWT58iMAIp
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssn57LNOP9
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4PhPevAQ0
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XsnwU5o0b
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjcaqxxtuc
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiWLWNMLlT
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF7GsWiyzf
692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4cjLj2n8S
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.
