A Pet's Purpose

Keep it a Secret

Virgo, Aquarius, and Cancer arrived to the school quickly, as they were already late. Once Virgo got off of his horse he patted his clothes down, making sure he looked his best in front of these ladies.

"Cancer! What took you so long?!" One of her friends greeted her at the gate.

"Oh? Who's this?" She looked at Aquarius.

"My cousin. She came to visit so I decided to let her look around."

Her friend nodded and grabbed Cancer and Aquarius' hand, leading them inside. Virgo took his time walking into the classroom.

"Oh my gosh! Virgo!" The girls squealed and whispered to each other when he walked in with a book in his hand. Cancer and Aquarius stepped inside and the girls eyes shifted.

"Who's that?!" They gasped.

"Oh it's my cousin." Cancer explained.

"So pretty! Take a seat! Please." They patted an empty spot next to them.

Aquarius was afraid to speak. Even though he looked like a girl, he didn't really sound like one.

"Does she speak a different language?"

"No, she's just very shy." Cancer laughed nervously.

"Oh...don't be shy! We're very friendly." They welcomed.

"Your outfit is so pretty, where'd you get it?"

"I made it for her." Cancer spoke for Aquarius.

"As expected." They nodded.

"You're the first girl I've seen with short hair. It looks so good! I've been wanting to cut my hair but my parents won't let me."

Aquarius nodded and smiled at the comment.

"Ahem. Girls." Virgo had to make his presence known again.

The girls turned to Virgo. He expected them to swoon over him as he opened the book, smiling and waiting for their reaction.

"Ah you're so cute!!"

"Thank you than—." Virgo grinned and then saw that they weren't even paying attention to him, rather they were surrounding Aquarius. Virgo put his book down and glared at them. They were admiring Aquarius' clothes and unique features.

"Girls. I understand h—she is very pretty but you're still in school after all. Please pay attention." He crossed his arms.

"Sorry." They frowned and turned to face the front.

Virgo lectured on War and Arts for a couple hours, even touching on the topic of philosophy to keep things interesting. But, it was only him that was passionate. Everyone was bored out of their minds and just nodded along to be polite.

"Alright, it's time for your break. Go on outside and get some fresh air." Virgo finally said.

The girls cheered and hooked arms with Aquarius leading him outside.

"Let's go meet the boys." One said.

Aquarius was led to a neighboring school for boys and they were on their break too.

"Hey girls!" They waved, faces lighting up at the sight.

It was obvious some of them were already coupled up and they went off to a more private area, but the singles wandered around talking to the other girls.

"Oh? Someone new? I haven't seen your face." A group of three boys approached Aquarius and Cancer.

"She's my cousin."
