GABRIELA'S P.O.V668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04mfcYpLwb

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMenzFHn3E
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jCTo9nC42
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv63KIpHYB
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSW3EOnJuo
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7TpW9pKqG
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YyaIolHiq
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO6RD5pm6O
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7soUeXrPmt
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLQlDK047
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY28uN4ufW
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnB8hUTC8I
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIcHShxb8T
I inwardly groaned. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OxemX1WFu
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h7NHyZiZ1
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0JMi328wa
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEfkAF1euh
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDe69x0yTP
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgk2u3KNG2
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDNFwMR0nb
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOEeL1xGQa
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2knHBEpQs
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc85HlRPxpl
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwIeDYLbtk
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHjo04AjDc
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwF6S0STsT
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFgPKmorn
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hFgfMe4O
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPk2nslgVo
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsxIZviJ9R
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8BjnbeJGd
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcqV6gcwAC
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmV0VMmY8g
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbPBzaF44m
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgRzm9PJEk
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIqKLXDHbZ
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfbgG4hGx
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIYBV3n0Ap
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllLiFHPQEt
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmEhIRIVRp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI9oka10U2
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYBbiR5ToO
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf9qYvOgjn
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JkRHCLBZ3
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEh3e3zxQE
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTKts8hp9u
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX5wixImXW
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V9wAOVshC
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHY8I3NuIA
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWunZrtyTLH
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwthnwuB0mp
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWDjOCJ32c
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyabP0b8Q9
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUbk0rUtw6
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyYDj36PcN
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r4hZG58OL
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswx8xNVP1
“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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWugV5csvHp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhG3XtFNSZ
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfyJjlr9tM
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSW0pxgX5r
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Ezp3zH0X
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoFfmmX2M0
"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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBYnqQj3uW
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6vaMFBwB9
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOq0ARE583
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDxpExzXOg
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW1a2X86Pz
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7didOlG5bS
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJszJwDWC7
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrEWP7cd2q
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL6Eqi1Re8
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZeZO3rFCq
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOgbTCOl7
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ49VUtz87Z
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFlJ5EVMh4
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThqT84hXwx
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXPDN1rYuH
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgtR3omteY
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2nAnE3ikQ
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL4kGAen7l
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xqk2M2dfa
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. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuxnQxowsC
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuhhLuY4TK
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdea40rxJd
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNYUR9D9bA
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzP4hxZgw
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2qVQShncm
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzQtr6wtG
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwgVWzf05H
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JjaPWdA5t
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KWjmnB8G
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.
