GABRIELA'S P.O.V630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4b9ZGxvFG

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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbFt9kQ79U
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoPRXiRr4b
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV19HT49xoY
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJfETKQ3Qa
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulxbVb2J3U
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2QwyNhEoq
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWKs15HuzA
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UVEeK9cO3
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iKEag55TZ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1wEo0ZStY
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jx6LLmKIy
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsliIxEAdCM
I inwardly groaned. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL74lGmcaP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVFGheg8t4
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMhM5MLhBM
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz3nfASoYs
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaPZ76aK9Y
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnqAX9eBUk
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvCxPkj1Qf
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ggNPVKFyQ
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbNA2KI6Cm
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1kT8U1GE2
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwekONN15l1
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP6fmFLDae
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo01bPiahM
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcIsfXkWBI
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qdQsuRfiL
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4aAX20rmY
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Xpwcb7Vt
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcMmvcZ0T
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdq7dJrM3R
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOEyCwPMAP
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB3xSM5Rey
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcHeyrnJtS
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczR0XYcru
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX2XL5ZtNQ
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr1gRPbxfg
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz7u9Rv0dW
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7UdNBa2XP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEupHuCX5I
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJnOiosNe4
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgucuOQS8dY
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviM4GElB9C
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gGp94mBh
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x6XUVF9hW
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgmLb80PL3
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3YNthZE3e
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zKNFsUXD4
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJA1EP0Vsf
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVwYvbUgZf
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqapoftWY1
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGbhdY5PqG
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7Q2tv8Rn
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lPQhvGpwG
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkutHBmNbg0
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBfTYn66CL
“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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmah6vOAqBK
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F8ZNR97Py
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOntnDtAbbp
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HZ2ll5NvQ
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBF8Taa8Qq
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXsw2mhFp9
"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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91bPjpxWay
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdr1ohaadE
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDo0OCzwDM
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0tBTmLG1m
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjpdHV0WUo
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnQIDSLRQN
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuelC8ZXZcm
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3vi9DhL5c
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLEJp40sAQ
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DC9aMiVTG
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUyxdH6jrv
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxyY3Ch4sr
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJS4kRzvn
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7qVB4lMHD
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4HkGiVQJM
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckSjlYtzyE
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukIlzYW5A9
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D8iZ1qruy
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xRXcwMyO
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. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjNmVJCJFD
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5q1yl2zQJ
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW6J788DRa
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVGsVefzBd
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN4XTqsEyc
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqfNYaE00E
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzkSeArwGy
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2nspDwKm8
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJshtYZjdW4
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF7i4j6Qoy
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.
