Anger was attracted to me like a magnet. Anger always ended up finding me, and more often than it did to most people. It was annoying. Currently, it was one-thirty AM, and I was punching the shit out of whatever soul this punching bag might've once had. 

I had snuck off out of the dorms to the school gym so I could punch the shit out of some things. What Leo had done had made my blood boil, and made me livid enough to kill someone. Coming over here to punch shit was really improving my mood. 

The skin on my knuckles had long since split and blood was flowing freely from my knuckles. I had actually finished my hour-long music playlist, and was now on the very first son, Drugs, by Upsahl. 

When I turned around to leave, there was someone in the doorway. Busted. "Scorpio." Aizawa-Sensei's monochrome voice carried across the gym. I froze. 

I opened my mouth to respond, but didn't think that was a sufficient response, and kept opening and closing my mouth like a fish, and I was glad that it was too dark for Sensei to see my facial expression. I heard him sigh. "Since this technically isn't against any school rules, except being here after hours, I can let you off with a warning, and no detentions, but if I catch you doing this again, mark my words you will get a detention, and unlike in your middle school, detention with me is hell." I could almost see that grin from hell on his face.

He turned to leave but I still had a question. "How did you know?"

"The robots keep track of things for me." And with that, he left. I left the gym as well, closing and locking the door. The one thing that stood out to me was that he said if he catches me again. Next time all I have to do is not get caught. And now that I know how he keeps track of us, I can just get Aquarius to do some hacking to layer some footage over the other so that he can't catch me.

The next morning I was exhausted and was woken up by someone-either Iida or Virgo- banging on my door. Instead of giving an adequate response, I gave them a groan in response, and put my pillow over my head.

Then the door opened and the next thing I knew the curtains were yanked open, and my pillow was snatched away from me. "What the fu-"

"Scorpio! You are nowhere near ready for classes, and you must leave within the next five minutes to make it to our homeroom class on time!" Iida exclaimed, and I shut my eyes tight and put my hands over my ears, revealing my scabbed-up knuckles. I bandaged them up last night, but they must have fallen off while I was asleep. That meant Iida would see and probably make a comment on them.

"And what's wrong with your knuckles?!" There it is. 

"Nothing. I'll get to classes just go." I groaned, ready to pull the 'I'm in my pajamas, and you seeing me like this is weird' card. 

"Alright. I still need to get to classes on time anyway." Iida said and left the room.

I meant to get up, I really did. I even told myself that I was only going to lay here for a few more minutes. But as my eyes closed, I thought back to the nice dream I was having. It was so nice...


I woke up with a jolt, looking around. My eyes were still blurry from sleep, so I had to rub them to check the time. 

When my vision finally cleared I saw that it was already ten AM. Shit. Iida was probably losing his shit, and so was Sensei, since he saw me last night. I scrambled to get out of bed and get my uniform on, while simultaneously getting my shoes on and brushing out the knots in my hair.

The only thing in the kitchen was a piece of toast with some jelly spread on it. That was fine, I only needed that since we were going to have lunch soon enough. I shoved the piece of toast in my mouth and practically flew out the door, desperate to catch at least the tail end of the second period.

The walk to the school building was five minutes. However, I managed to shorten the time down to two minutes and was panting by the time I reached the entrance to the building. It was eerie being in the oversized hallways, with the only sounds being the chatter of students and teachers in the classrooms.

I finally found the classroom 1-A resides in and flung the door open, everyone's eyes drawn to me. Midnight was teaching and ordered me to hurry up and take my things out and start taking notes on what's on the board. I followed her orders and started writing down the things on the board.

After Art History was Math with Ectoplasm, and then Modern Lit with Cemenotoss. And then, lunch!

Taurus and Aquarius appeared right next to me to ask me why I was so late, and I answered truthfully, even though I probably should've done something to get back at Leo for what she did, but I already have something in mind, and I'll definitely be doing it later when she and Saggitarius go to the mall. But for now, I'll just enjoy lunch.


Pisces and I were getting ready to paint each other's nails, her having a sleepover here in my room. I had changed the appearance of this entire room for the sleepover. Instead of sleeping in my boring old bed, Pisces and I made a fort out of pillows and blankets from both mine and her room. Pisces brought over her fairy lights, not the LED lights, but the fairy lights, which were in the shape of stars, and we strung up all around. Both of us were in our pajamas.

We were keeping our hands inside a bowl of water so that all the dirt and grim under them would slowly be in the water. While we were doing so I was slowly calming Pisces down, because the only reason she requested this sleepover was that she had been stressed lately.

I was helping Pisces unwind when I heard someone stomping outside my door, and turned my body to the door to see Leo bursting into my room, with Sagittarius at her side. God, Sag was always around Leo. If I could wiggle some suspicion into their relationship then maybe...No I'm not going there. I may act cruel and heartless and I am, sometimes, but I'm not going to destroy Leo and Sag's relationship just because Leo was angry and made another dumb decision.

I should apologize. After all, as stated Leo has only made another dumb decision when angry, and when she's angry it's like she's drunk; she makes awful decisions and then ends up regretting them later. "WHAT THE FUCK, SCORPIO?" Leo shouted.

I cocked my head to the side in confusion but then the reason why she was here hit me like a torpedo. Oh. When Leo and Sag went to the mall I may or may not have cut the bottom off of all of Leo's non-crop tops, and written 'whore' on the wall in angry red letters. "I'm sorry." I blurted out.

"YOU'RE SORRY?! FOR WHAT?! THE WRITING, THE SHIRTS, THE GHOSTING?! YOU THINK A SIMPLE 'I'M SORRY' WILL MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT AGAIN?!" She shouted. Leo was drawing attention now, with people coming out of their rooms to gawk at her. What she did next made me seethe.

Leo walked up to me, kneeled down, and took a swing at my face. My face exploded in pain, and at that moment I knew that if Leo stayed here after two minutes I wouldn't be able to stop myself.

A/N: I love destroying Leo's relationship with Scorpio ❤️
