Zodiac High

chapter 18

Lea's POV

After the party the house was weirdly quiet. Like super quiet. Virgo was just doing everything except talking to anyone. Gemini and Aries were all over each other but somehow it looked forced. Cancer couldn't even look in the eye of Taurus. Sag was freaking out over her exams and Pisces was helping her study. I was spending more time with Aqua since no one in my room really talked to me. Libra, Cap and Scorpio got really close and were often going out on their own without us.

"Do you think it's too quiet in here?" Aqua said as if he were reading my mind.

"Yes! It's really strange. What do we do?" I asked with hope in my voice only to see him shake his head.

"I have no idea, but I also don't think we should be doing anything except enjoy the pool for just the two of us." Smiling he got up and picked me up.

"If you throw me in the water, I'm breaking up with you." I warned him, not really meaning it.

"You wouldn't!" He looked at me smiling.

I knew that smile. He was going to throw me there no matter what so instead of just letting him I dragged him in aswell.

Cancer's POV

"They're cute." I mumbled under my breath watching Aqua with Lea outside.

"You could be cute with Taurus." Someone whispered back to me.

I jumped in shock and quickly turned around to see who it was.

"You're talking again?" I said surprised at Virgo.

She just rolled her eyes and nodded.

"And I can't. He doesn't really like me. He likes a challenge." I muttered again looking out and the two love birds.

"He likes you. I can see it. We grew up together I know what he feels before he even realizes." She smiled to herself.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked her because she never said anything about it before.

"I just don't want you to miss your chance like me." She got up and left. Weird.

Wait.. so should I ask him out? Or wait for him to do something again? Ugh...

Gemini's POV

"I just don't know why I did that." Aries pulled at his hair again. "I don't even know if I like her! I like you! This is weird." He looked at the ground.

"It's okay to be confused Aries. At least you told me, but I need to tell you something too." I smiled nervously.

Looking at me he nodded for me to go on.

"I'm not really sure of my feelings either so it's okay if you're not too. We can be dating or just stay friends." I told him and he only nodded.

"Let's stay together for a bit."

Sag's POV

"I don't understand this! At all! I'm gonna fail and it's not only going to be my fault now but also yours!" I started shaking Pisces.

He only laughed and showed me I missed one number and with it I would have solved it right.

"You're just too quick to even notice that you have to use this part as well. Just remember this in the exam and you'll be fine." He smiled at me and started writing down another question for me.

I looked around the library and saw Libra, Cap and Scorpio around a table laughing and pushing each other out of the chairs.

"Do you think there's something going on between them?" I asked Pisces not even looking at him.

I felt him look the way I was looking.

"Like between all of them?" He asked scandalised.

"Would it be that weird? Just look at them, all laughing and... touching.." I said awed. They're cute but my ships are better.

"It wouldn't be weird but I don't think so. The only thing I'm sure of is that it will fall apart. They both will want her and she will choose one letting the other down." Pisces said quietly.

Looking at him shocked I almost started crying.

"You have feelings?! How could you just be emotionless all this time but suddenly you're a love expert! I need to ship you with someone too!" I said excitedly.

But it felt really weird shipping him with anyone.

"Please don't. And I read a lot of romantic books you know." He admitted and blushed a little.

Cute.
