GABRIELA'S P.O.V629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA0LxebecO

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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36O1AjKv7G
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk7OgSBECf
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsUlllHpZ3
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZJwm5Es3L
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk86kuyz9Ui
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSntMTyw2q
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgXYLdG91H
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IbLMDcbyV
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzwnXDWV8D
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrGwjUgl5G
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC2oKXpVjF
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgGDby4ECD
I inwardly groaned. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1b1SjDnK7
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfkuw5lLWm
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH7KrnDwbw
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2qvlLCLMC
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyzoacQY8M
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx9aLKhkn1
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEEYA2bckM
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcArgMF0vRD
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKetcbzAtuY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhFcsSjZX
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVYQqTgROY
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKsuaa689U
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXAcrYv3q8
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0svM2jiYZ
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHOs2GKfXI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbjgqikPru
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP41tiapJ9Z
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptH4PeWcgH
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4czhd3E5
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK6KOaa6iQ
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwjVnYRAYU
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1F53jW8II
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkMW8oYokP
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaazXaKB4I
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fsm2zC8IM
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4lKoAE4tD
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3LIgVO5VQ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1gHdtTHTP
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnUaCrh6I8
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5gchG6U1v
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEhApDTMYZ
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnP9nqMih4
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYFYQNi0Qm
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhvnFmeZZ4
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxMBskkSvI
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfyee15rSU
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFJMMxSgB
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7kL9EoPht
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdXr7lO8h
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jHpORFzOo
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDHJlif90v
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKOzGBJA37
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumuTNUY9K7
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hWdjXsoh
“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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNZhDiHwTA
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGphBFVfN
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtcjjhsvY5
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5GYi8zvWG
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoMDKitixn
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo5m3dm5AT
"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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWhkL8bUb
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NgRBl8Ik0
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeJWKTyeif
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVdErcRarG
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorBkXV3W3d
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BArZ8KK4f
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22yqMNrVUD
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAfbDbuUwa
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVovGRWbtEV
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vudB1qP5p
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOIKNIpwqO
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtg22LfFLl
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElxiDZiwf7
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02NAWoVmJr
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk7ZgmGIOh
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMFWAbQiZs
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVVKbNNje
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtK8gMGAPA
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHPEsKfPJ
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. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FZeitBfpB
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PKrLareJV
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCbGvU7S8
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrKhuIzheI
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHLORxLqun
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgANzuJzE
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PUX4A8TV6
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDxHhqwePW
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUz2BztRVz
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXiX5RrSwa
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.
