GABRIELA'S P.O.V608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqiCU9IUtT

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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGNnJhYZcQ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtmp6bcNlC
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XfCBEtY01
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZbrcC8jZV
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuDhv8EkV6
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGQOehhhjY
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mojaasrL9
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBbaEjHAD4
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYhxHiwiXh
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgM1GHkDdF
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiSn832MuT
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjHJUDENA4
I inwardly groaned. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX2TsHTl3c
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjAutuRiAq
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6r5x7RptA
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpShEhSCOjL
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazJOWtPaja
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPwmXa8nQs
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W6m3Coapg
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjY2xpfZQE
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAdaHjCJHw
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡino80mJoxd
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vdp1cv0rP
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkwFHfvhbw
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEbnE69Lly
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEwL7RCKeS
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTbl4Jb186
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzJEeDYsfH
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLIuTFD5ol
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQCbt09gnH
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6LABgDVdI
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyr8o9v2Cn
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKOwy9HzKS
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew1aEMMJtk
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VlmYIsBnA
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iWk39e0RY
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV22KttzHRz
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEFTiMcCuN
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaeLcsXvOE
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEf40nfAgt
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSNo8I3rBH
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KTaV3Hb4
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHgSyUuLP8
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPtRZUt62B
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlJVsoNlj8
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGpbOuIpkc
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH3aLE0AAa
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBskyZ92oU
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ArlGiv7R5
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rSPl2oV6Z
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N1m5pLhqg
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr87UfD7UM
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlVRB7cCyk
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDBFWUo3b2
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFfMruO8cz
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIweyWWs41
“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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRs39xwHFe
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMT27mEoav
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsS1CTUyQx
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFbedRo3yp
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdIRgBEyYz
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF75rGVS9G
"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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6m521tzGp
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIEcMNLMW3
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJVFNzcceD
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA4gwifYFJ
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJsuV2tnUJ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKCEQuJbhi
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlAjsmywaX
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4RJFUEUD
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz0uMBi1x6
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhUpPRpdL
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR0ICuWYPH
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolT5rN1Uz
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo1e8zDjwU
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5J1BKcUFK
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9wBGdIbK5
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWmkCgqn66
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7qQFpE4aW
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX9l8DQ7iF
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqf6ZgT2N7
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. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtEywWW83
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2slUr4dHI
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSROE8SULy
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gujGHVcQq
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwiwJxyAi
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8cLEN9aww
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m9YprclWh
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuHPqDXwvU
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x5zdKqx7V
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHCWsHhVum
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.
