Clashing Worlds

Chapter 2 - The Melting Pot

The delinquents got off the boat and stepped onto the slippery creaky dock. "Why is your budget for anything other than the school fucking pennies?" Capricorn mumbled to himself. "What was that?" The captain asked him with his eyebrows raised. "I didn't hear him say anything actually," Sagittarius replied to the captain grinning.  He grumbled as he lead them to the school. "The air is so clean here," Taurus exclaimed while taking a deep breath. "It's because where we live they dump all their trash in," Scorpio said, her tone coated in annoyance. "How long is this gonna take to get to? My suitcase weighs a thousand pounds!" Gemini groans while heaving his suitcase. "Here, let me see it" Aquarius attempts to pick it up and immediately drops it. "What did you pack in here?!" She huffs. "Nothing that heavy!" Gemini argues. Taurus picks up the suitcase without any issue and slings it over his back. "Wow..." Aquarius and Gemini say. 

Ten minutes later they make it to the ginormous school. "Shit this is basically a kingdom!" Sagittarius exclaims loudly. "Please don't use that language here," Aries and the council come out of the school and eye the delinquents. Capricorn and Cancer quickly glare at each other and look away while Gemini grins at Leo. "We're the student council, we're here to give you a guide to Floral Gates and answer any questions you have," Libra announces to them smiling. 

The groups spread apart and started the tours.

Cancer and Capricorn

As the other groups spread apart Cancer and Capricorn stood in place and just stared at each other. "So are you gonna talk or..." Capricorn questions as he awkwardly scratched his nose. "Look, as awkward as it is to see you I think we should be on neutral terms and not talk about it," Cancer takes charge of the situation and puts her hands on her hips. "Yeah okay, I can do that." Capricorn sighs in annoyance. "Great okay, let's start the tour." Cancer smiles at him. 

Virgo and Aquarius

"Are you guys always so uptight?" Aquarius grumbles. "We have to be, one day we're going to be ruling kingdoms, it's better to start enforcing rules and leaderships vs later when we rule our kingdoms," Virgo informs her while showing her the classes. "So when will you rule your kingdoms? Or do you not know that yet?" Aquarius asks curiously. "Either when one of our parents dies or after marriage." Aquarius looks at him confused. "Is there any way us delinquents could ever become a king or queen?" Aquarius stops walking and asks confidently. "I don't know, that's never been done before." "So what happens when we graduate? Do we just go back to live in our shithole of a city while you guys get to rule kingdoms?" She asks clearly frustrated. "Of course not, once you attend here you get to live in a high-in-come kingdom." "Yeah okay, whatever you say." They continue the tour.

Leo and Gemini

Gemini played with his hands nervously as the tour started. "What's up Gem? You're never this nervous, are the first-day jitters getting to you?" Leo questions with concern. "I'm fine." Gemini was clearly not fine. Every second he's around Leo his feelings start acting up again stronger, it's almost suffocating to him knowing it could jeopardize their friendship. "Gem I've known you long enough to say you're not fine, seriously what's wrong?" Leo takes him aside and they sit on a bench. "Aquarius was just annoying the shit out of me this morning." He lied. Gemini is an awful liar but on occasions like this, he just imagines as if he's an actor, acting out a scene in a dramatic high school play. "Ah, when does she ever quit? Don't worry, I'm sure she'll apologize later." Leo stood up and brushed her plaid uniform skirt off. "I'm seriously so happy having you come here, I had like two friends before you arrived," Leo exclaims, laughing awkwardly. "Me too, I still can't believe I'm here." 

Pisces and Scorpio

"What's your fucking name again?" Scorpio grumbles. Pisces looked around her to make sure nobody was around. "Shut the fuck up and let me get this tour over with," She says while smacking her gum. "Aren't you royal fucks not allowed to talk like that?" She confronts. "I make exceptions, plus nobody's around, it doesn't matter." Pisces laughs and continues walking, her bubblegum hair swinging behind her. "You know I kind of like you," Scorpio admits smirking. "I don't really do friends, sorry." "You looked pretty friendly with Cancer earlier." She recalls, remembering them gossiping after Cancer glared at Capricorn. "You have to earn being my friend, I don't know you for shit." "Whatever, my offer stands whenever you want to take it," Scorpio answers confidently. Pisces rolled her eyes and kept leading her around.

Libra and Sagittarius

"Thank you for giving this tour, Bra or whatever you said your name was," Sagittarius exclaims happily. "It's Libra." Libra sighed in annoyance as they walked together. "Oh, sorry I was thinking about bras after you said it like half an hour ago." Sagittarius giggled. "You're quite the comedian but your name looks like saggy tits the way it's spelled out," Libra said laughing quietly. "Take that back." Sagittarius started laughing so much tears started coming out of his eyes. "You laugh like a hyena," Libra exclaimed. After five minutes Sagittarius and Libra started making their way around the school again.

Aries and Taurus

Aries and Taurus's tour was pretty much just educational. Taurus kept asking Aries about general things like dorm placements and the cafeteria food which she happily answered. Aries loved having someone who actually cared about what she had to say, often times she feels that people don't give a shit about her role on the council. It was also beneficial for Taurus because he and Aries became pretty familiar on their tour.

After the tours, everyone gathered in their dorms to unpack their belongings. Gemini and Taurus moved into Libra's dorm. Scorpio and Aquarius moved into Cancer's dorm. Capricorn and Sagittarius moved into Virgo's dorm. Aries, Leo, and Pisces remained in their dorm. 

Cancer's Dorm

Aquarius unpacked her suitcase into her large closet, clearly too much space for her clothes. She was anxious because this was her first time not being just a door away from Gemini at all times. "Sorry for the mess, when my roommates moved out they left a few things messy and the maids haven't gotten to it clearly," Cancer states, breaking the silence. "This is messy? Shit man, I forgot how good you have it here." Scorpio lets out a loud laugh. "It's really not all sunshine and rainbows, imagine how much pressure we feel knowing we'll have to lead nations one day." Cancer argues back while helping Aquarius fold her clothes. "Well, you sure as hell have it real good right now, back at home we were fighting for fucking crumbs." Scorpio tried to bite her tongue but she lashed back at her. 

Cancer stops folding the clothes and gets in Scorpio's face "What the fuck did you just say? Just because you had it fucking rough doesn't mean we don't, not like you'd understand when you graduate you're gonna be a shitty nobody while I'm a queen." Cancer spits out. Suddenly, Scorpio punches Cancer in the face, hard. Aquarius stared in horror as Cancer fell over. Cancer then got back up and kicked Scorpio in the stomach, sending her flying backward. "You guys have to stop, please," Aquarius begged behind Cancer, not wanting to make the situation worse. "Tell your fucking delinquent buddy to hold her tongue next time." Cancer spouts. Scorpio gets back up and flips her off. 

After they calmed down Scorpio sat on her bed and Cancer continued to help fold Aquarius's clothes. Aquarius had gotten them some ice and they still hadn't apologized after an hour. "Thank you for helping me." Aquarius grinned softly at Cancer. "What's your name?" Cancer asked staring at her. "It's Aquarius but you can call me Aqua." "Your welcome Aqua." Cancer smirked at her as she continued folding. Scorpio rolled her eyes as they got along. She knew it was gonna be a damn long year.
