Taurus walked out of the school building accompanied by Scorpio. In The end, Scorpio decided to stick To her for the day. "So, my Mom was all pissed." Taurus said as she replayed yesterday's incident in her mind. Scorpio chuckled, "I mean it was your fault that you forgot what day it was to be done." "Of course, you'll blame me too." Taurus huffed and looked away. In the mean time, a girl With long dark brown hair all tied up in numerous braids came up to Scorpio and started talking to him.

Taurus looked for her brother and any one familiar as they walked when she saw a man.

This man had ginger hair with a 2 streaks of gray and dark brown eyes. He had a well-trimmed beard and was dressed in a ship captain's attire from more than a decade ago. Taurus knew so, because She had seen one in one of her history classes. And this man was staring right at her. His focus was on her, and his expression looked like a mix of sympathy, helplessness and relief. There was something else written on his face too, but she couldn't intercept it.

He opened his mouth to stay something but Taurus was pulled away, "rus...Taur....Taurus!" Scorpio shook her shoulders until it looked like there was some sort of earthquake. Taurus finally snapped and looked at him, "Stoppppp!" Scorpio let her shoulders go and asked, "I was talking to Someone and you spaced out. What's going on?" "Oh, there was this man right-" Taurus quickly pointed to where she saw the man. "There!"

But no one was there.

Taurus had a puzzled expression as she mumbled, "wha- how?" Scorpio looked at her in confusion "I don't see anyone."

But she protested against it and insisted, "No, I swear to god I saw him! He was ginger with some white hair and-"

"There's no male teacher with ginger and grey hair. Sure we have Mr. Paul but he's in his 20." Scorpio reminded her but Before She could say anything, he stopped her. "Taurus I think you're tired. You better go back home and rest." Taurus nodded, "Yeah, I probably am." And bid him a bye.

She walked along the school gates and paced around waiting for Libra. Soon enough Libra and his best Friend, Aquarius Miller came from inside. They were chatting about something, definitely being the usual book worms but she was too confused to process anything.

"Oh hey Taurus!" Aquarius greeted her giddily and waved. He was about to ruffle her hair but she pulled away. "Not today Aqua." She then turned To Libra, "Hello my bully." "Your bully? For all I know, you bully me everyday." Libra confessed, waiting for a reaction from her but was stunned when he didn't get any. "Wow, no comebacks?" Taurus deadpanned at him, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm heading home." "Aw man! I wanted you to tag along with us." Aquarius said and Taurus reassured That she would another day. " 'Kay, we're going to the library. See you later." Libra said And with that Taurus walked off.

Libra thought to himself, something wrong....

--------------

Back at the bakery, Vena Bell was packing a customer's pick. She put it in her signature package box which was customized by Libra and Taurus when they were 10 and 8 years old. She put the little box in a brown bag and handed it to the customer. "Have a nice day!" She called out. The bell rang once again as soon as she went tk get a glass of water. On an instinct, she greeted, "Welcome, How may I help-" but she stopped when she saw her daughter enter.

"Hello dear. I thought you were going to be busy with Libra today." Vena recalled. Taurus shrugged, "I don't know, I didn't feel like it." Her mother smiled and gave her a cookie. She kept a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, food will be ready in 5 minutes. You can go to your room for the time being." Taurus nodded and walked to the door of their house. Their house was built right on top of the bakery, the kitchen and dinning area still Being downstairs.
