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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M6tUymio2
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtxyfoiGZK
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVifR8rC2Sx
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM64MWqShte
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwv6DTO7BZ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7swt695Ld
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5GVBIUNGq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjerQg9vWSu
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGrO4YGqU8
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetX0oE1CXx
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhFlnkHYO3
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYPNljS6zk
I inwardly groaned. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOpjzxXNbk
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZQ2jxhLVz
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdSbKsPM3M
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xHwbRim4R
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIyT5aCvAC
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dOXAsFlh1
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmDEKddg3O
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXINHtUIM8m
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeezrI5IgO
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pf5qjcyY0
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A0nlVkeTI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg6l5F9o9M
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSlD2aAUxc
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TA8yC9vy
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdIjbZfRFg
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kQv8nc7To
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmmUlWrlEa
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROB4PEIzex
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddNw3Po4IG
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hMCUaL5ks
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwJhQaY6yq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62id7ZdQj9
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38FBSi0vQ6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehjceZVLz
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzJUIbg1Jz
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr5PlfAb3M
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ244TbIzWRY
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVxIH447jz
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveIjqQneKT
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqz7ipf5Is
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSaYFctFc
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2omsuIPuI6
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYk36Hehwg
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgioZZFGLe
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIoYvm9GKw
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h8Pny2EzG
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77nyQ1xQXg
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yXeTO5MtQ
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSPdeYj27W
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNZwSEJLob
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFpwEoTVEh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjwyvU8O7L
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUyxwz86Ys
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnI1NSrRdt
“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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0NB9MUvRM
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lAzF4krjl
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4RJJ4KtCv
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSw5fAJsr7
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdCWHDanH4
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI38GYgc1W
"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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMfuZqNTQI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfVDBk6ekV
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSyoNcFGPp
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YBcPNox99
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbBZIMCJEm
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiXG1gXsiG
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa95kgAS1t5
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy7C8UHW1t
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUBl3O0Fuy
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNq7guhU7o
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDYziYA7GE
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3hGYCtmn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5MwwvaCcY
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqttiWInbL
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhJw5nlIxK
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN3KIiYwf2
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6hHIXUqDu
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJXuJJwqQC
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKW4boZkJc
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. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl54htt8kG
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAoxMoVuJy
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeklh9vH81Y
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0X5e5VxU
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJoYFGA6j
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslwMtbxHzf
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtJlTXXhy
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLcMztWKtx
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZEzSc1StY
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkwlsD3t3X
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.
