GABRIELA'S P.O.V590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaE0DrCuQJ

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.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIeygsKhzJ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJKrxzMINL
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAVXjg1GRi
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLrRegeIi
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIPiJHPcgc
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47B3xLfJGw
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjoPmTRCkG
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfImKfunkS
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zgJcFc2C5
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhae1E3an
But like they say, luck wasn't on my side. I was jerked forward by a student. I turned and stood facing Vanessa. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazdl4UUCwd
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmzZVEkEyT
I inwardly groaned. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpGLkafzYZ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM7VGVPPY6
"I didn't know people like you can obey rules and regulations," Vanessa snickered. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGFNI5ph2d
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fw9idAxfp
I wasn't in the mood for her silly behavior. So I walked off. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG0mM43iUW
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24sq9IQJAo
"You can't run away forever!" She shouted at me. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ChsMn43nS
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlcxilnIns
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZBbFtZEDh
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yESsM5Db
I walked towards the attendance board and scribbled my name and the time I came in. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsXrCBz4dQ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwtPdX1tzF
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLnAusOZCs
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPo4EMh2ww
I rolled my eyes inwardly, and muttered, “what made her think I wanted to sit beside her. I would rather die instead.” 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDd9r7E7ZK
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSzHOr0qhB
Finally, I found a lone chair at the far end of the room. I quickly walked towards it before someone else grabbed it. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZftWvU1Bh
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iatlOeg0l
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5NzVeewKo
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHNxf93dIw
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTnd48iVcY
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc6Z6fIb37
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT95qsoiJ8
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAfkuCCaL
It was Chisom. I stared at her blankly. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6gZ47LLis
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvediKpJ6S0
"You snubbed me back there. Why?" She pouted her face. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTB8dqtP0b
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgAxkGlJB
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYBzjmVrwa
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH1TjDQF1U
"You really think you can drive me off like that? You need to try harder Gaby," she smirked. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrIzzP05ae
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B0ZzRF0aI
I glared at her and dropped my books angrily on the table. It made a bang, causing some students to stare at us. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh5y10gdgs
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczdV4vOqLZ
"Listen, Chisom, I am busy. It is forty-five minutes period, so I can't afford to chatter."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZJMudTNK
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqaXvJ2g5Z
She was grinning from ear to ear. "So, you have a voice," she beamed. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wWC8fiqyx
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUNaYBwEtp
I rolled my eyes at her and sighed in frustration. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahYfnlHuus
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAblWHhz3W
"OK, I get it. I won't disturb you. I will just read on my own and you read on your own, OK?"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1RN9oXKqj
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5RiKdlosw
"You are really stubborn. Fine, suit yourself," I said in exasperation. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4juuYS14
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1NT1qGGD
“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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdcMTFSz9z
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp610TTidx
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlcpZn2yuZ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnkMXNrl74
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwQyYEV6pI
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4vVMbrEfg
"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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkgyX1Nxqy
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaQu5GDSKC
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2zUxXRWxK
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl7XRZNaJc
"Wait!" She screamed after me. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0X6mcHhd
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB6IA1FqHh
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5TPmwlh2M
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2t2O4a9Sd
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvWpSUE2Ub
Again, luck wasn't on my side. Chisom ran after me. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdN9eVqqjw
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPmj03YcAn
"There, you are. I am never going to leave you alone," she rapped excitedly.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AEhHWSZqQ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbihJxq1Kz
I ignored her and kept walking till we got to my room. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjzdctzqs
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndtzDA4Ubp
"Wow, this place is neat," she remarked. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWAjvzqUiH
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD2gUmfd2y
"Chisom, I can't be anyone's friend, OK?" 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9qsRHzi9s
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKehQXu1ciT
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. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclyKN4eYWK
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u8QlneH6o
Chisom sighed, looking at me. "I don't care, I want to be your friend, OK?" She said stubbornly.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGeQZDQVk
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeUuXnb6x0
I stared at her. Is she OK? I asked rhetorically.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPrJ0ZaEt
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXyO6zoQbH
She grinned. Wanting to come closer to me, I jumped. "Don't! Leave me alone!" I screamed angrily. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgrv9nKTtm
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKhoEAKyKo
"Calm down, you are breathing high," she said in panic. 590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZwqBJbgWx
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98OX0W1wRg
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.
