GABRIELA'S P.O.V698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCNZQ2eQEX

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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRU8C53AmD
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUE5yy8I61
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtR2j6FTZE
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztRPGy0qoS
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2faAp5nEi
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wBvYyvgkW
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlpBU9cAhD
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A5XSFs0rr
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSYyjROixF
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡholRx0KnWd
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpIlBRPB8
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUBpfLFL0B
I inwardly groaned. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgJVGluVf6
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQE86QWpeG
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gZrUI9PfZ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cYjLxtU5k
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAT8h64key
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqYd229DJ
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzw9JAcw46
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOP0HGNesn
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRJscxEHqP
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpKjcmRu7V
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRFYrHx1K6
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpgiSkneV
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5icK6HAf
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIp2eXnAU5
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKqc3CBnrJ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGtg4dcEv
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegHfhfGQVI
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0M2TW2P97
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjy7IDclXt
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFVHNQubV0
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbCcKUxYD4
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYHAUM1Od6
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKC5dfF3mA
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKyWmAzDZ
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45Xa3UJb3
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXxTK6CvNt
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtd7tCProz
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI3Y45cefO
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvdL3fkHk
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbyFq3PUZC
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx7Nsisv2D
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz8bZfiS4d
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFifjEc0ZR
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlewrDnDQfj
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJEPxzq9u
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7myDudr0LF
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrffQi5sLTe
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWZsHNDv4v
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbSNI9jHWQ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3OmajMtso
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZUrKWc8ft
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCRcyQ3St1
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdbVlY3RRe
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFKuJPpeqk
“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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IWcgGeQJu
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeCxkzs8Rd
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtcXBUvcW
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhh2WJa16x
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wbPNO07k
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05FiyhKvFI
"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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRG2q4nRh3
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYHB7OF1QX
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1EIv4Za7
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AYw3mCKxZ
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58uFKurqc
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4cs7M0FWD
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd18lTzvOmw
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCZaghy1Av
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHczZk94VtJ
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZcSmO1oJ5
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqkZpCabov
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOkwmn5Rym
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFrvEaSnYi
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUPYtegCYB
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QRBvbNvp1
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMShNIxUJep
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITxCrj8gap
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX7hxEth9G
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4A6zEFK2L
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. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBQfe7gSuX
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwWswXwR3m
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BsotxhlbQ
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qmsnJHkUd
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfggSvq3CdD
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPetPiLpBy
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDTLoWfoSs
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcZBPy28ss
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchRoFtYEsO
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDolkQRb44y
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.
