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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKh4kUtWAx
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmFlwzoYhT
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLscOfDuqJ
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamFhQzgLhc
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl2GNy6gJ0
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs0vzvNFfr
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q5QvMEzME
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9dFwEhP0D
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjd1fMIU4l
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ6wrZCpWw
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d3xedKhvf
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzGY87QGLv
I inwardly groaned. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YYYfNffGp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86pOaz5rE
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwrFscexhj
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZsbLe3Zsb
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9tat7aAA
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgDzFKnjNO
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw1FgH0Fbc
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATqjkr8aLQ
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyAsS27mV2
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoHyNlEiGz
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFUOUzXI6j
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b4MWIuiFJ
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89APt6Wtnc
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz34Yuzkjnk
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7cY2djS80
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtYIybuccZ
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooHZmtOeaH
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRII8NWD0
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8kKpCrcV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfsQQLsbdT
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe1E74v5fe
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LVxeRk1Qu
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL48A9dUxed
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsxzqjzWN9
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvNfAKLRm5
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rJmZD8J3K
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8516yQ3St
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZr5ZvaZ9X
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8LiVV3Bgp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVEV1Ht2bJ
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLCxGKbA2n
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9AlhWl3Fj
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuR1lW12En
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRSLhJofZf
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1otmNsP7Qg
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZSAZQi3e
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTvFxu9wF6
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkXsnEwOpS
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeZOjVI5ji
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ig0PV6OBg
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe81WLgNOYq
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9NsXu4wg3
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3w0D5joXp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOVgysmAzH
“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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KXeit5LWZ
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7zhKO1IwX
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpF4Cw1Q7b
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQh7wUBAnh
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIl8PTcDP2
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvrVzq5H7d
"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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIfBlUm83
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmIslY0GJN
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xj6sP18uI
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWf0WY6ex0
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn5Q9pg723
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfAV5SRbE
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcoU16xhFw
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxrOsEJCq
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN03jAoFIOr
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFOjSVbZDq
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYd5ps8xp
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRCTyezEwM
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8TdhfX3K2
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJUbiyZ3A4
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxI2AmVHaZ
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdPQPM1aVM
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRL7wsDctC
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOEJJ3lno
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLuMUR9vKq
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQixqiLCVM
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGe3Gs6Hw8
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM52v8jvCYz
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLCspeZVV
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtntP0I8Rno
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpP7CE12QB
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz92xU7ks9
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDGZTReQPn
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMcqKRH5vm
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRh4JuhYns
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.
