Queen of the zodiac ( zodiac city duology #1) [ undergoing revamping]

~dix~

Brooke

It's been a week since I had that encounter with the white haired figure. Everything has been surprisingly quiet.
I still couldn't figure out the book. After the history of descendants and the ongoing war, everything after was written in a language I couldn't decipher. It was as though a puzzle piece had been dropped into my life, and I couldn't shake the feeling that it held the key to something significant. However, my daily responsibilities couldn't wait, so I reluctantly pushed those thoughts aside and prepared for the day ahead.

My shimmer, Auriana, a faithful companion in my daily life, responded to my every command as I got ready. She glowed with a soft, warm light, offering me comfort and guidance as I dressed for the day. As weird as it my sound her presence was both soothing and empowering to me.

Maylee, Renee and Paris slept over at the boys place so I had to walk alone like a sad miserable shit.

As I made my way to class through the Zodiac Academy's bustling corridors, I turned a corner and I collided with someone from behind, letting out a surprised, somewhat rude outburst. "Watch where you're going , Fuck!" I exclaimed, my frustration evident.

The person turned around, revealing himself to be Damien, with his tall frame and dark grey eyes. He raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "No need to be so harsh Brooke ," he teased, his tone light.

"Maybe you need to start watching where you're going" he smiled at me playfully

"Maybe you need to shut the fuck up" I retorted rolling my eyes. His eyes gleamed with amusement as he laughed

"On your way to class?"

I groaned. I hate people who asked stupid questions in the morning.First of all who talks in the morning. It's fucking 8am no one should have that much energy
"Oh no Damien, I just decided to wear this school uniform and walk around aimlessly "

He laughed again.

"What's funny, bitchface?"

"Can I walk you to class"

I glanced up at Damien, who towered at 6'3, though I wasn't much shorter at 5'10. "I really don't care about what you do Damien,just don't do it near me or with me " I said, giving his shoulder a light pat before moving on.

My dislike for Damien stemmed from an incident at the Royal Camp. He'd cruelly poured hot chocolate over Maylee when she proposed to him, finding it amusing. Even though she still has a stupid crush on him I hate him and I wish he unalive a himself.

His cocky attitude and his stupid tattoos only fueled my disdain. "Stupid cancers" Muttering to myself, I increased my pace, feeling his presence as he followed me.

I opened the door fully expecting to see our usual critical thinking professor. To my surprise, when I entered the classroom, it was not our regular instructor who greeted me but the stern and imposing figure of Professor Elara. Her sharp eyes scanned the class and her mere presence commanded our undivided attention.

She began to speak, her voice resonating through the open space. "Good morning, young Royals," she began, her tone firm. "There has been a change in our curriculum, and I trust you will all adapt accordingly. We have decided to introduce the study of subdivision powers of your respective elements and clans earlier than originally planned."

A wave of whispers and murmurs swept through the class as students exchanged surprised glances. This was unexpected; we were supposed to delve into subdivision powers in our second year, not now. It was clear that the elders had different plans for our education.

Professor Elara continued, addressing our concerns, "This shift will provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of your abilities, which will be crucial in the years to come. Your subdivision powers are a fundamental part of your identity as royal Zodiacians, and it's time to explore them."
