Zodiac High

Chapter 34

Cancer was afraid in the dark alone inside the room.
"Aries!! "
Suddenly lights on and there was a decorated table with electric candles.
Cancer smiled. Aries, "Do you like it? "
Cancer hugged him.
"I liked you since the first day we met", Aries said.
"Our first meeting wasn't nice at all", she said while sitting down.

The next day, it was Aquarius's birthday.
Sagittarius asked, "So, how many of us wished you at 12?"
"You, Gemini, Libra, Scorpio, Leo, Aries and Cancer "
"If I say in order, 1st You, 2nd Gemini, 3rd Libra, 4th Aries, 5th Leo, 6th Cancer and Scorpio at the last. Actually he did not wish me at 12, he wished me at 2 am"
Sagittarius said sarcastically, "Maybe he saw you in his dreams and then woke up to wish you at 2"
Aquarius raised an eyebrow, "Heh! You're always kidding"

Aries, Leo and all came near them.
"Hey, Aqua.", Leo.
"Yo our birthday girl", Aries high fived her.
"May you live long, more than 1000 years", Aries said.
"Hehe seriously? I don't want to live that long"
"C'mon he was just kidding ", Leo chuckled.
Taurus said to her, "So where's the party? "
"In your dreams", Aquarius rolled her eyes.

Scorpio and Libra came.
"So here's the gift"
"Oh wow"
"Scorpio? You brought something? ", Gemini asked.
"No"
"Others? ", Aquarius asking hopefully.
"Yeah it's here! ", Cancer gave her the gift.
"From here also", Gemini winked at Aquarius.
Aries also gave but now Sagittarius and Leo were left.
"I... Uh.. Actually I just have some money left in my pocket", Leo said.
"My pocket is empty", Sagittarius showed his empty pocket to her.
"Idiots and selfish!! ", Aquarius eyed them from the corner of her eyes.

"Virgo and Capricorn, the nerd couple came! ", Aries said.
"Happy Birthday Aquarius! May God bless you with abundance, happiness and a lover", Virgo wished her.
"You're saying this 'cause you're not single", Aquarius said to her.
"It's a wish for you because when God will grant this wish you'll have a boyfriend "
"Capricorn, did you bring a gift for her? ", Aries asked.
"Yeah, a smart watch"
"Yoy, it's different. It's technical", Aquarius seemed to be excited.

Inside Aquarius's house....
"So where's the cake? ", Taurus asked.
"Make the cake yourself and eat", Leo said.
"I did not ask you"
"You're still an idiot"
"You both never stop", Sagittarius said.
"Because they are very stupid and idiot ", Capricorn said.
"And you're expert in calling other idiots ", Leo said to Capricorn.

When Aquarius cut the cake. Gemini and Sagittarius were the first ones to eat the cake from her hand.
"It seems like Gemini and Sagittarius already have a big daughter", Leo said.
"Aaww and you're such a single freak who can't even make babies ", Aquarius took the revenge right there. Leo took a piece of cake and smashed it on her face.
"No! My face! ", Aquarius threw the cake at him.
Aries threw at Aquarius. Sagittarius also. And then Gemini also. Scorpio came from behind and spread it on her whole face.
"Happy Birthday!!! ", everybody said in unison.

After the party was over, Libra saw Scorpio with Aquarius. Leo came from behind but did not initiate any conversation. He chose to go but he stopped and looked back. He too saw Scorpio and Aquarius together.
Libra looked at them. She did not like the way Leo looked at them and her.

Libra called Scorpio. Scorpio's phone rang.
"Yeah, Lib say"
"Where are you? "
"I'm in Aquarius's house. Didn't you go home yet? "
"No but I'm on the road"
"Okay. Call me when you reach"
"Ok. Bye"
"Hm"

She took her phone down and saw that they were no more at the same place.
Leo came near her.
"I'm sorry if I did something wrong. But I can't stand the silence between us "
"It's okay "
"I will take you home "
"No, Leo. I will go myself"
"It's too late. Scorpio should be here to take you home "
"It's okay Leo"
"Okay. Let's go home together anyways"
Libra agreed.
They walked together.
Leo thought 'I want to hold your hands but I can't. I know the attraction is there and it's mutual. But still we can't be together. I want to move on but whenever I see your face, I can't. You never get out of my head.'

"Pisces's birthday is also coming. ", Virgo said.
"I want her birthday to be the best this time", Taurus said.
"This is really sad for Libra who chose a playboy instead of you. Pisces is really lucky to have you. ", Virgo said.
"Yeah because you're caring, loving and sweet. You also understand her soft and sensitive nature which I don't. But you're cheesy", Capricorn.
"Love turns me into many different things ", Taurus said.
