Sins {A Zodiac Story}

Chapter 1

{Song, house With No Mirrors by Sasha Sloan. This is how Pisces feels in a way.}

Pisces POV

"Pisces no!" my friend Cancer said, diving to the floor. I worked for her, in a way. She was my boss, we were both employees at one of the very few shops in Carmel-by-the-Sea. We're a seaside city in California, pretty small place and we're the kind of thing where everyone knows everyone. 

"Sorry," I appologized, covering my eyes with my hand and waiting for the familiar crash of glass. It never came. I uncovered my eyes and saw Cancer on the ground with the vase in her outstretched hand. I got off the ladder and gently took the vase from her hand. "Oh my god, sorry!"

"It's fine Pi," Cancer said. "Just be a little more careful." She blew a strand of her pink hair out of her blue eyes and gave me bright smile. 

"Yoohoo!" a singsong voice called. 

"Libby's here," Cancer said. "Let's prepare for the drama." We walked to the front of the store and saw Libra, looking as stylish as ever. Her make up gorgeous, her blonde hair looking as perfect as every and her skin flawless and glowing.

"Hey Libby!" I said. "You look nice!"

"Thanks girl," Libra said. She looked at Cancer clutching a vase and then at me. "Pi? What did you drop?"

"That vase," I replied, pointing to the one that Cancer was holding. Libra sighed in fake disapointment, a smile gracing her lips.

"Pisces, Pisces, Pisces," she tutted. "What are we going to do with you?" I giggled and we all ended up laughing. 

"So, whatcha doing here?" Cancer asked. 

"Oh, there are new people," Libra said.

"Wait, what?" I asked. We never got new people, never. So the fact that we had people, plural, was exciting. "How many? Have you met them? Are they nice?"

"Slow your role there Fishy," Cancer said. "Let Libra explain before bombarding her with questions." I lightly punched my best friend and she smiled.

"There are seven of them, 4 boys 3 girls," Libra said. "I was going to go check some of the guys out, want to come with?" Cancer looked slightly annoyed but amused.

"Sure," I said. "Cance?"

"Can't," she sighed. "I have to open up the shop and then work. I'll be seeing you both at 12 sharp."

"Yes ma'am!" we said in unison. All of us bursted into laughter and Libby and I ran off to find the boys that she was so keen on finding.

"But first!" Libra said, digging in her designer purse. She brought out 20 bucks. "A frozen treat! My treat  so I'll pay."

"I'm down with that," I said. We walked to the Froyo shop down the street and ordered. A small chocolate frozen yogurt for me and a small berry frozen yogurt for Libby. Libra dug out her phone and I dug out mine.

"Say cheese!" we said. "Cheese!" We took our selfies and I edited the photo a little before posting it on Instagram with the caption, '#FriendsAndFroyo.'

"Oh this is so good!" I said, taking a spoonful of the heavenly chocolate treat. I closed my eyes and rocked back and forth. "You want to eat here or walk?"

"Let's walk," Libra said. "I have some shopping I'd like to do." SHe turned around and looked at me with puppy eyes. Uh-oh, I thought. 

"What do you want Libby?" I asked.
