GABRIELA'S P.O.V634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzBC5yViNM
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg3Z5URrMc
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYekfSM2owO
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0puVED6BoS
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKOaL5cX2Z
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS86x3I1g6h
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAnLYvulon
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqLO2VVYBz
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbItG4k6vpc
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMXs9xWEH3
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGxo1QTd2z
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yk2ZCRKZU
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOo7vBm4uD
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFSVJx0d4V
I inwardly groaned. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zMOkLmURF
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOix7i4F7Vt
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHZyDxTGS
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJQnDBWRU
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYCNQZgiR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcNzOW4mp2
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t3HCZ6jVj
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRWum2AfmW
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHpxRwNzTF
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNr0YRhFaW
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G63py9ih6
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RM4DVxgVA
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9qiuNx5gW
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr02hjTEg9O
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHbH8b4vwo
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5YSH20B9I
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsk7fpPWpg
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpOcaVaht
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tBufzAwrc
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeR9hSnSah
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QtBwKOi4i
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yyp2k6R5J
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIfuEeXWEQ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzFMzqVFtu
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVOfPoGIvL
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnx9lQS22v
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbQyzmzgwp
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOlqmyZ2D
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8bZu0q2ze
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLdSUmjPl
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrIKIOVQLH
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJy3UcSjy9
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv0krmmBub
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauTQa1Bk9h
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vDeTRU7M
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGrH0LRgD
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x2doRnyDR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr91pxlg96J
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoJ3B6Wza0
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xCI6Z2AKB
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK6hRonvnq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNcN7XYjZl
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L6f8OuL9o
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFqtrN18g
“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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8oqDkJD3p
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHZiiRDYTS
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw7flGfne2
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8zqMexFqN
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGTc886Bew
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvJDki2iOD
"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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTelwC0CVbW
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9eCPFvnJq
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwrrsSrn3i
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRW3jcrZuW
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuR2UdRjh1
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzix308MKt
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN8yRmW0B5
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58g0HFGpzd
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oue4TluCn
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQ974vqxA
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYDbT44l2
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ3IStuxLq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcxR6ol5Pt
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64jLifgGVG
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4RBHhRhXx
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76DguJBIiA
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyGyLkJGWQ
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc12yEA9ZL
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflPmVHtdUa
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. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZsMjncD5
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxn0PRu8Qv
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uyf4bSnNC
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCMMBjHCOC
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9y7aTmoOR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMuf1HN03N
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkASMpAJd4
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuFaRD66az
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefoa07N49I
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqzwmmOGeQ
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.
