Zodiac College

Chapter 2

Cancer POV
While sitting down on the ground in the corner of the schools library, I was finally alone to myself and my thoughts. Today has been so overwhelming and it has barely begun. I sighed and shivered, it was freezing in here. I closed my eyes and hugged my knees, exhausted. At some point I had fallen asleep.

When I woke up I found myself in the same spot yet it was different. Someone had put their jacket on me. I sat there dumbfounded, who saw me and left this here? The jacket was large and black. I went through the pocket and saw a note.

I saw you were shivering and I didn't wanna wake you so i left my jacket. When you want to return it come to dorm 414. ~ your favourite stranger.

I felt gratitude to whoever it was that gave me this. I put on the jacket, luckily it matched my outfit. I stretched my arms out and looked at my phone. It read 12:20.

"Shit, it's lunch time. They're gonna think i ditched them".

I put my phone in the pocket of the jacket and raced to the cafeteria. There at the table was virgo, taurus, leo, gemini, libra, sagittarius and capricorn.

"Hey guys sorry i'm late, I got caught up with something", I explained.

"Don't worry, we just got here only five minutes ago", leo reassured me.

I sat next to sagittarius and capricorn. The cafeteria was loud from all the students.

"Hey Tari, why is everyone so round up about?", I asked curiously.

"Oh tonight Scorpio is throwing a party and he invited everyone. It's a big deal around here."

"When's the party?", Pisces asked Sag.

"At 9, make sure to dress well i'm expecting to see all of my lovely ladies to look amazing", she smiled.

"So-",  I got cut off by a commotion from the other side of the cafeteria. It was two guys arguing. I walked up to the crowd surrounding two people and worked my way up the front. There in the middle of the crowd, I see Scorpio fighting with a random guy. I looked at him and I'm not even going to lie, he scared me. While watching him fight and yell at the guys, tears formed in the corner of my eyes and i started trembling.

Scorpio turned to me and stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes found mine and he seemed hurt.

"Canc-", he started to say but I ran away before he could finish.

I ran to the bathroom and went to the sink. I was hyperventilating and couldn't stop crying. I splashed my face with cold water trying to calm myself down.

"You're okay, you're okay, you won't get hurt, he isn't here. You're okay cancer, it isn't him", i tried to reassure myself. I couldn't get a hold of myself I was too afraid I'd get hurt. The doctors told me I finally got over the PTSD phase, fuck. I wonder if Scorpio is going to get mad at me, I distracted him. I wobbled to the library to my little corner. I cried into my knees shaking, hoping it'll be over. After about 5 minutes I heard someone walk up to me. I was too scared to lift my head up.

"P-please don't hurt me", I sobbed to the stranger.

"Why would I hurt you Cancer?, a familiar deep husky voice asked.

"Because I messed up and when I messed up at home I got punished, I don't like getting punished it hurt". I looked up at the stranger.

"Please don't hurt me", I pleaded in a broken cry.

The stranger bent down and embraced me in a big hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried in their shoulder.

"Shh, it'll be okay. You're safe, i'm here alright? I won't leave you ever, i'll be here for you always", he reassured me.
