Chapter 3 - A Secret Crush..?

[Aug 16, 2022-Aug 20, 2022]

Pisces' POV
Song: She Wants Me (To Be Loved) By The Happy Fits

It was a normal day at school thus far. I was in Science class, which was my third period, but it was kinda boring so I started doodling a picture on the corner of my paper to cure my boredom. I just sketched a person and just as I was thinking of someone to draw, one particular person came to mind. Once I started adding some details like facial features and her hair, I started quietly humming a song to myself, feeling happier. I always enjoyed drawing since I was little. My tail had started slightly swaying to the beat of the song I was humming. What song am I humming? Well, it's my favorite song, She Wants Me (To Be Loved) by The Happy Fits. I just love the beat and the lyrics. Just as I was adding her glasses to my sketch, I heard a bang on my desk. I looked up to see my science teacher, Mr. Draco, looking at me with his eyebrow raised.

Draco looks like this:

"Pisces, you're supposed to be answering the questions on the board, not doodling." He crossed his arms, looking at me sternly. "I-I, s-sorry Mr. Draco, sir." I lowered my head and covered my sketch on my paper with my hand. I felt my face getting a bit hot. I heard a sigh from Mr. Draco. "It's fine, but don't let it happen again, alright?" I looked up to see him walking away. "Y-yes sir.." I fiddled around with my fingers for a bit then I answered the questions. It hadn't taken very long. "Alright class, that's all the questions for today, so I'm giving you the last 5 minutes of class to yourselves. I don't care what you do as long as you stay quiet." Mr. Draco explained and once he was finished, I continued my sketch. I had finished her glasses and I looked at what I had so far, checking if I might have missed something. Let's see, I've got her eyes, nose, contagious smile, hair, glas-

"Hey, that's pretty good Pi!" I looked to my right to see Gemini smiling at me. "O-oh thanks Gemini!" I smiled back at her. "No prob! Who're you drawin' though?" She put her elbow on my shoulder as she scanned my doodle. "Oh, um, well, uh..." I fiddled with my fingers again, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Oh I see~~" Gemini grinned at me. "It's moi~ isn't it." Gemini gave a smug grin, putting her hand on her chest dramatically. "Heh, it is you actually." I chuckled, looking down a bit. "Well, it's awesome! Keep up the good work Pi!" She smiled brightly as she playfully punched my arm. I smiled back at her, this weird feeling grew in my chest, though it was warm, and quite nice actually. "Thanks, I will!" I smiled brightly as well. Just as I finished my sentence, the bell for fourth period rang. "Awww, fourth period already?" Gemini rolled her eyes. "Suppose so, best get going" I put on my bag, stood up, and grabbed my paper. "Guess I'll see you around." I smiled at Gemini, who already had her stuff together. She nodded, "Yep! See ya Pi!" She waved as she went into Reading while I turned and walked out of the main 8th Grade building to Art class.

(In Art...)

Once I sat in my seat in Art, I continued sketching Gemini. I added the neck, shoulders, basic stuff y'know, since I just had the head before and that didn't take too long. I started on shading too while I was at it. "What's with the dopey grin Pisces?" I looked to see Aquarius? "What are you doing in here Aquarius? Don't you have Writing or something?" I had a confused look on my face as I spoke to her. "I used to have Writing, I got my schedule changed," Aquarius explained. "Also, how did you know I had Writing? You barely even talk to me." She added. "Oh, Gemini told me, also no offense but, why'd you choose Art? I thought you would rather watch someone draw than draw yourself." I blinked. "None taken, I just want to improve my art skills, that's all." She shrugged. "Oh alright." My eyes traced back to my sketch. I had started smiling without realizing it again and I added extra details to the sketch for fun. "Oh I see why you had that grin~" Aquarius smirked. "O-oh I-I um.." I looked down, embarrassed again. I felt my face getting hot and turning red. Aquarius chuckled "I know you've got a crush on Gemini Pisces." She whispered. I looked up to her again. "W-what-what are you talking a-about? I don't have a crush on her. D-do I?" I felt my face getting even redder. "I think you do at least, but don't take my word for it. You've gotta figure that out yourself Pisces." Aquarius turned her attention to her bag, getting a sheet of paper out. I looked back to my sketch of Gemini. Do I have a crush on her? Is Aquarius right? Why is stuff like this so complicated? Why are feelings like this so confusing? I got lost in my thoughts and I broke out when I heard the Art teacher speak. I'll worry about this later but, do I really have a crush on Gemini? I don't know for sure but, I do know she always makes me smile. I don't know, I'll just focus on Art class for now...

(On the way to lunch)

I walked through the halls looking down as I was still puzzled about whether or not I had a crush on Gemini. "Do I have a crush on her..?" I said my thoughts out loud. "Crush on who?" I looked up to see Scorpio. "I-I uhh.." I trailed off, embarrassed as I fiddled with my fingers again. He walked up to me and patted me on the back. "Chill, you don't have to tell me, and if you do, I won't judge you." He looked at me. I looked down again. "W-well, I-I..." I stammered again. Scorpio sighed and opened his water bottle.

"So um, I kinda, sorta, have a tiny...c-crush on your-your sister.." I said my thoughts aloud without realizing it.

Scorpio spit out his water and looked at me like I was crazy. I covered my mouth as my entire face turned red. "Why did I say that?!" I yelled to myself. I heard Scorpio coughing and he cleared his throat. "Sorry about that, I'm still processing this. But, my sister?!" Scorpio put his hands on my shoulders and shook me furiously. "Agh! Scorpiooo! It's just a small crush!!" I got dizzy while being shaked.

"Crush?" I looked behind me and saw GEMINI?! Oh no! What if she finds out!! She'll hate me!! Gemini walked up to me and Scorpio. She had a puzzled look on her face. "What's this about a crush?" She looked me in the eye. Usually, she would be all over someone having a crush, but she had a serious expression as she looked me in the eye. Scorpio let me go and crossed his arms. "Sis, it's not a big deal." He calmly reassured her. It is a big deal! Is she finds out she'll hate me for life!! "This is a big deal." Gemini eyed me. "Who is this lady? Or guy? I won't judge if you're gay." Gemini crossed her arms. "Umm, I'm not gay," I started. "Then who is this lady? Do I know who they are?" Gemini's tone was seemingly protective now. "Y-Yes, you know them." I chuckled awkwardly. She narrowed her eyes and walked closer to me. "Err, Gemini?" I felt my face getting hot. Gemini smiled and started laughing. "Wow, you're redder than Capricorn when she's flustered!" She said through laughter.

"I heard that!" Capricorn's voice rang out. I looked over Gemini's shoulder as she looked back with me. Capricorn was glaring at Gemini, Virgo was beside Capricorn, patting her back. Gemini was laughing. "You know it's true Cap!" She called to Capricorn. I couldn't help but chuckle at that. Capricorn crossed her arms and she and Virgo kept walking. He was still patting her back. I was still chuckling when they left. Gemini was still laughing. I started laughing hard with Gemini. I wiped my tears from laughing so hard as Gemini did the same. I figured I'd try my best to forget about this crush stuff and just enjoy the time I spend with Gemini as friends.

That's the best thing to do.......right...?
