11 : The Story Of Him

"Hm? Aries?" Libra swore she just saw a familiar dark blue hair around the hall way. Gemini hummed and looked at her.

"Aries? What's wrong with him?"

"...nothing. I think I just saw him earlier."

"Nah. He probably take a walk or something," Gemini waved her off.

The trio then entered Sagittarius's large bedroom with their extra clothes for tomorrow in their bags. Gemini entered with a loud slam.

"Hey everybody!" Aquarius giggled at his energy.

"Gem low your voice for a bit," she scolded him, tho there were a smile created on her lips.

Libra looked around the room "Someone's missing—hey where's Aries?" she asked the nearest person, which was Cancer.

But before he could answer, the jock appeared "I'm here. Just take a stroll," he said, patting Gemini's back and walked toward their classmates who have sat in circle in the middle of the room. He sat between Leo and Cancer - who followed to sit with him.

The black skin girl hummed. She and her friends then walked at the group and sat at the empty spots, with her between Gemini and Aquarius.

"So what did you guys doing when we were gone?" Aquarius asked, pushing her hair that rested on her front. She forgotten to tie her hair tonight.

"Well...," Pisces looked at Scorpio, who looked at Cancer, who looked at Taurus, who looked at Capricorn, what looked at Virgo.

The nerd sighed. He picked up the book that Taurus brought and opened the pages. Aquarius raised an eyebrow for the blank pages, but before she can ask, the handsome nerd carefully lifted the book to the above of a candle (that had been lighten by Sag). Gemini shocked.

"You want to burn that book, buddy?!"

Scorpio smirked, shaking her head "Watch and learn, losers."

The heat that radiating from the small flame on the candle slowly making the invisible ink in the book visible. Libra and Gemini gasped, while few other watched with amazement.

"Cool!" Sagittarius and Pisces wowed.

After a full page have finally been visible with words and sentences, Virgo turned the book back to him and read it out loud.

"Ready for story time guys?" Taurus asked, grinning.

"Oh please," Cancer rolled his eyes "I'm ready for any stories."

Virgo looked around, readied to read. He cleared his throat and started to read.

"Greetings to the people who are reading this, if you ever found this book, I might are dead now. And I need your help."

Virgo stopped and looked up. Everyone held the same expression.

"My name is Ophiuchus. I'm Astrolilian High student in my last year in 20##. As a student in their last year, I know I should be prepared for my final exams and prom, but sadly I have involved in a very serious situation that cost my life.

Let me explain from the beginning.

"Ophi! Wait up!" I turned around and saw the familiar ginger head. I smiled and waved my hand at my dearest friend, Hercules.

"Hey Hercules! How you doing?" I asked him as he caught up with my walks. He showed me his toothy grin.

"Great! I've won lots of competitions last week, how can you say I have a bad day?" he said proudly. 

"Just asking," I smiled.

"Anyway, Lacerta and Pegasus invites us to a small picnic party tonight. Wanna join?" he raised his eyebrow at me.

"Sure. Why not? Just us tho?"

"Nope. They invites everyone in our class," then he face frowned "Even that loner Lynx."

I chuckled "Lynx is a nice dude, Hercelus. Why do you dislike him so bad?"

The latter huffed "Because he is a loner."

I rolled my eyes, clearly sicked with his answer. But what can I do? Hercelus was my best friend. We continued our tracks together till we reached our school. Many students greeted Hercelus, thanks to his handsome face and talents in sports. Our school won so many medals thanks to him. He also protected me from bullies.

My eyes spotted a certain brunette. I waved my hand high "Hey Draco!"

The poor boy jumped from my loud burst. He spun around with terrified expression, but soon relieved when it was just me. He have bad history with bullies in the past. Although no one messes with him now, he was still afraid. Talk about trauma.

He walked over to us with his bag hugging close to his chest "H-Hey Ophi...," he spoked, barely like a whisper.

"Hi. Where's Delphi?"

"Ya where is she?" Hercules looked around "She said she wants to play basketball with me this evening," he said.

"Probably...at the class.... I think..."

"Then let's go!" that ginger head exclaimed, grabbing both our wrists and pulled us toward our classroom's direction. I didn't missed how Draco flinched at the touch.

As we were running toward our classroom, we passed someone. I accidentally made an eye contact with her golden eyes.

Miss Petulant.

"Wow wow wow!" Sagittarius cutted Virgo from telling even further "Why Petulant in this story?!"

"Shut up, Sag!" Aquarius shouted from across, throwing a pillow straight at his face "People want to listen!"
