You decide to go talk to Zodiac
Since you guys act the same maybe you guys could get along
(Italics- Zodiac)
While waiting for school to start, you try looking atound for him. You fond him sitting at a bench near the entrance
"Hey there!"
You say. He justs sits there staring into space
"Uh.. Hello?"
He jumps back. You think you scared him..
"Oh no, it's okay! Sorry.."
"Do you need something?"
"I just wanted to get to know you.. I can lrave if you want.."
"No no no! We can talk! I love talking with people! What do you wanna talk about?"
Option 1
He runs off sobbing
FAIL: You upset the bean! How dare you!
Option 2
You try to continue talking to him but he stays silent looking at the ground
FAIL: Geez... Rude!
Option 3
(Option 1 and 2 are fails, Skip them or read them)
You both sit there and laugh about it
You feel like he's the right friend for you
He was about to say something but then the bell rang
"Oh um, Before we go, can i have your name please?"
"Oh yeah it's Y/n"
"Y/n, Mine's Zodiac! It was nice talking to you! Bye"
He zips off in a heartbeat. You slowly walk off to class
--time skip--
Its time for art class, You loved art since you were a kindergartener so that's why you chose that class. You notice Zodiac in the corner of the class painting silently. You decide to go move next to him
"Hey Zodiac! It's me Y/n!"
Zodiac seems less shy than he was before!
"It's going good! I came here because...."
OPTION 1
(Option 2 is a fail, skip it or read it)
OPTION 2
He just ignores you
FAIL: know next time lol
-----------------------------------------------------------
You sit down next to him and draw him
He so sucked into his art he doesn't even notice you looking at him
You notice he's painting a nighttime sky. It's beautiful..
"You're really good at paintin!"
"Oh! Uh.. Thanks"
He seemed a bit startled.. I think he wants to stay silent.
An hour goes by of not talking. Art class is about to end in 5 minutes so you start putting away your things to go to the next class
Zodiac looks at you and asks
"What class are you going to last?"
"I think... Math"
Zodiac has a sad face
" Dang.. I have science next..."
You look at him with a sort of blank stare, Did he want to talk to you that entire time? You decide to be nice and say
"I could give you my phone number and talk over text!"
Zodiac smiles
"Ok, sure. Ill call you after school"
You write down your phone number on a peice of paper and hand it to him
He smiles and walks off
Without saying goofbye?
You understand though, Sometimes you forget to say goodbye or say it so quietly nobody hears you..
--time skip--
(Author's note: I keep accidentally writing for a long time with I instead of You and so i give up, the rest of the story is your POV)
Its after school and immidietly I get a call from Zodiac.
"Hey Y/n. It's zodiac from school! I said i would call you.. so.."
He laughs akwardly
"Hey Zodiac! Ill make sure to add your contact, Sorry i didnt talk to you alot during art.. I thought you wanted to stay silent"
Zodiac and I laugh
"Yeah, it's fine. Sometimes i give off that vibe to people"
We talk for hours
His voice is nice to hear. It's sort of soothing..
A loud crash happens and he says
"Oh goodness, ill be back"
He hangs up..
But he doesn't call back for the rest of the day..
Its the next week at 9 in the morning. I get a text from Zodiac
<(Hey Y/n. Sorry i didn't call you a few days ago. I forgot)
(It's okay dude)>
<(Im wondering if later today you could come over at :address:)
(Sure! What time?)>
<(How about... 7:00? That's when it starts to get dark and we could watch the sundown..)
(Sure! I got time then)>
<(Perfect (✿^‿^) See you then!)
I smile at the cute emoticon he sent.
--time skip--
Its 6:20. I decide to start leaving. I dont have a car so i have to walk.
On my way there i bump into senpai.. The popular kid
"Y/n i suggest you don't go there"
I ignore him and walk faster to Zodiac's house
Its 6:40
I make it to his house..
I knock on his door
"Come in!" I hear from inside
I walk inside and see zodiac sitting on the stairs. He looks up from his book and smiles
Zodiac grabs my arm and walks into his backyard
He sits down and gestures for me to sit with him so i follow suit.
We watch the sunset. It's beautiful...
He gets alarmed by something.
But.. What is it?
I realize after a minute
The sunrise stopped moving
The sky is still.
Zodiac gets up and gets confised
"This wasn't supposed to happen yet.."
"What?"
"I thought he was lying..."
"W-who!?"
I spit out. I was starting to have a panic attack. He grabbed my arm and ran inside
"Y/n. I know a student at the school. He stalks you. I didnt want to tell you. He told me if i approached you he would murder me. But.. now he's after me. I thought i could save you.."
I just sat there
It felt like things were going 100 directions at a time
"Maybe i still can..."
He hugs me tightly
"Maybe i still can save you..."
I dontknow what happened but it felt like i blinked and he was gone.
I was in a void, twisted, awful version of the house.. I screamed his name
"Yes?"
He turned the corner.. he was a pink melting mess.
It was disgusting and i almost threw up in my mouth
"What's wrong Y/n"
"W-what happened to you!?"
"Nothing. I'm fine"
I ran out the door but he grabbed me
"Y/n.. Y/n.. Y/n.. Y/N!"
I wake up in a pool of my own sweat
"What happened!?"
"You fell asleep, silly"
He smiles at me
It was just a dream.. but it felt so real..
"Do you need to go home?"
He asked, tilting his head
"Yeah i feel sick.. Sorry"
"Nah it's fine! No need to apologise. You should go home and get some rest"
I get up and wave goodbye. I walk inside then you the front door to walk home. Senpai walks infront of me
"I told you not to go"
"And nothing bad happened?"
"I dont want you to be with anyone but me.."
I just walk past him. That void world appears again
"Ugh! What do you want w-..."
I turn around to see a gigas wannabe creature. I just run off.
The more i run the more the world turns into a void
I see zodiac following me. He's that mess again
"Since you love zodiac. Would you love me if i was zodiac?"
Im paralyzed
I start to sob
"No! Leave me alone!!"
He approaches me. I want to run.. but i can't.
".. There is no where to run. You will just run through empty space"
"Youre mine forever"
''No...''
"Hm?"
He places his hand on my shoulder. I look around and see a bottle shard nearby
"I SAID NO!!!"
I grabbed the shard and stabbed him
His body faded as his screams echoed.
The world went back to normal
Did i kill senpai and Zodiac? Or am i seeing things...
I just ealk home
I
lay in bed when my phone buzzes
<(Hey Y/n! You doing okay now?)
Zodiac's route.
The end
