GABRIELA'S P.O.V667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tEIe1n49n

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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzT0vS7APr
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaek0CoGBHp
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGW5nzYJjH
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEd1xxlkIh
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsW2EhvTFj
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I29XPMTNB
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4e903WSPZ
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttzYB4irdF
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx9qFFbJC9
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp4BnYS2yq
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFqvwwJwe3
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQ4jHEt6v
I inwardly groaned. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kQUzKGsYb
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJp1qzkvFc
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV72fDwA316
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCowPgfV6v
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFxJRnSxEi
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx1q5lEnrE
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgU8qmlJqR
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI3lsyDItp
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEVzKkkbmi
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGIVEKITlJ
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsea1lFZRra
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIWcX6fAq8
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTD0vDQ5mP
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3NnHwiyod
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIQm1m1IOB
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3h2fbYAP
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7guK3Ddbtx
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8NZfFKyl3
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd7EwspE3Z
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX3Sxp9dWG
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Zc0foPI5
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE3rCWIuSH
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs7vsKkQRP
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3uFnVKJlh
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoR3qVwGJH
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB4432CzJW
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvkHmFpwp9
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4tVz2hjnJ
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd50eU391TV
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjHDEOPii4
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWomZkmOzO
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnr9zhTlHp
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYRXI8i4t
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2LYyxCumw
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHhrcxgn5u
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uwpKWRKfG
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakT1tYEXH4
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvVbO84KpY
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDhVZWbcnl
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeG4xTs0cy
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2fBQbUpZR
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFKFR8l7GT
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEEOi8tq6r
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUv8fWFq7a
“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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97uGJZSLoQ
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHGWwjsoNY
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxThc86KBKv
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxFdpcYnFl
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLI8TTDxNO
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIymczeDAHw
"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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8lKZ4CTUc
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfU5dtKbJh
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGlUegpWAT
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj9FusBvap
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkIi8Ie0hy
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2Vs75o6S
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyMPnQX3Dl
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM29N6lFqJA
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RgFb0FRmy
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQVfufcmj3
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnw05OMPsa
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK572iTdeeT
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyb42Sfmdz
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSazI0tMxn
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xhl9gXNa9
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI32EYEyS93
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfHjMKT54c
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7OZ3xpY5
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9F0gPkX1o
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. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvanswBa0p
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmcoYEsAD
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0IFzmgdI
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLaW6bcKvR
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuHJtSrP01
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7BKQNiCtP
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0uOTFC42t
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12hKLhEzZU
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM6YK8BZru
667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgVy37tuOd
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.
