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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJ3Uk5ak4
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjdlJE3WL
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgRKksq70O
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQ0hlCn3P
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcVGLzjtWk
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq36gjace64
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0SmUZfpZX
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiSwCfPaZD
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUnm1Utzle
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3tRlEt5gp
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ca3ubLlin
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutGQbRntGP
I inwardly groaned. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGvHTn5I0
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ai6eW9RPs
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QexCIudLf
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTD6Pc9Lxe
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wGgs6MfV
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjWx0jrizb
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w7Iz1GC5j
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfFLP8KLJZ
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqJWNYInr3
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ87GpteoZ
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne3tnNEWDI
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGpNZwIr6Q
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj4pjBxtFG
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4bbYYR6kM
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9dCmen1d7
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWutBs8XwLZ
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWE7c4Is2I
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6VqzxaFku
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYyAAqPbmj
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ9zUD6lIx
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl1d0Fcsqf
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01AUsJXOWK
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVNuLbFsiv
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7znaVaagw
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a0FULhECx
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGnoHCrNOc
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFJOSqwG9N
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU76FAH43I
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQAv7TkJuZ
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WqKkxOcYg
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkp7l7SEAF
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwaJglu9L3
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqYExmfZ7
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XeTekC8Dq
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvgsNzSTZZ
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaaNaWZtZw
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt18pCib9i
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZmEnXsQfr
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwXmrlzWi
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZyZxMWRjm
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJi1YhreN
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0YlzRAUDx
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtaJ1UpPw
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bATGOfmtV
“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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJkutbJYdI
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIpewvRKhZ
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmcyBrIm7I
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcJ0nFHm12
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTBhULzze6
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4iK1xsOnn
"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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzHjgStoQb
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUtn12MyDw
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBfwY5M6kS
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWHouAc4Gd
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCEK8oVB1O
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwAseydWC
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPkvYzcNk7
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG3s7kBjKv
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0BzJRCfHb
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3POdeeg5Rf
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30dMaUnDKR
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUELS9h2CA
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBh8PwBMkp
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsscrCHVyQ
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15OnzA06By
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrihkwl2bE5
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajJiJlid3t
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqq5g3lRjh
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnBRN6R6U4
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. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVRi4vLVFb
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xTYlDg1D
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLXRItSn2z
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgypdo0JYsT
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yALIxNWyv
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjwgIlZsCd
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVdTIlNk5i
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBebhOa2Lyp
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMemqPPqZ5
628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtlo7Pkzvo
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.
