Hello Darling: Book 1 (Completed)

Scorpio(1)

Now, we are on to Scorpio. Now, I am not a Scorpio but I love the aesthetic that Scorpios encompass. So, let's learn a little more about them.

Scorpios are passionate and assertive people with determination and focus that is rarely seen in other zodiac signs. They will turn to in-depth research to reach the truth behind anything they find important. Scorpios are great leaders and guides who are resourceful, dedicated, and fearless when a challenge must be overcome. To begin with, they will hold on to other people's secrets, even when they aren't very fond of them, and do anything they can for those they tie themselves to. Always fighting dishonesty of any kind, they have to learn not to manipulate or turn people to look their way by methods that aren't straightforward and clean. These inner tendencies sometimes make them distrustful and jealous, suspicion leading them to strange behavioral patterns they have to unveil. The enigmatic Scorpio finds its mythological match in Hades, ruler of the underworld. Just as Hades delves into the depths of the unknown, Scorpios navigate the complexities of the human psyche, unearthing profound truths and hidden depths. So it only makes sense that their supernatural ability would be mind control/clairvoyance.

Shadow's POV

I sighed heavily as I watch the jocks be complete neanderthals, roughhousing and trying to pick up some girls with stupid pickup lines. Nobody has any dignity. Can't anyone just go up to someone and have a decent human conversation instead of using cheap pickup lines and the... Ah, who am I kidding? I've never had a girl even come closer to talking to me, let alone wanting to go on a date. I'm a loner. I like to be alone and read. I've never been to a party, hung out with anyone, or had friends. Well, I had my family and two guys who did everything they could to make me feel included. They were loud, baccus, and annoying. But, that's just how friends are.

"Hey, Shad! Your girlfriend is coming." She's not my girlfriend but I wish she was. I knew exactly who they were talking about. Adrianna Night. She is everything I want and more. She had this beautiful waist-length black hair, her skin was a little tan and looked so soft, and she was slim and thick with some thighs that I dream about, and don't even get me started on her face. A cute button nose, full pink lips, and some gorgeous green eyes. I dream about this girl. She's also one of the nicest girls at this school. She's friends with nearly everyone. Always baking cookies or cupcakes to pass out to everyone. 

"Oh, she's coming over here." I looked up from my book and tried to keep the blush off my face as I saw her approaching with a basket filled with cookies, I assumed.

"Hi there! Sorry to bother but would you guys like any cookies? I was trying out a new recipe. They are Pomegranate White Chocolate Chunk Cookies." I perked up when I heard that. Pomegranate is my favorite fruit of all time. 

"Ooh, well don't mind if I do," my friend, Duncan, says. Draven follows suit and then she turns to me. If I'm not mistaken, she has a little flush on her cheeks. She's so fucking beautiful.

"Hi, Shadow. Um, would you like one?" 

"Yeah, sure." I reach into the basket and take one. Her smile got brighter when I took one.

"Awesome! Let me know what you guys think. Have a good day!" She walks off and I find myself staring behind her. I gulped and crossed my legs so nothing showed how excited I was to see her ass.

"Man, what was that?" Duncan asks me.

"What was what?" He rolls his eyes at me.

"Dude, she was right there! You could have asked her out right then and there. She wanted you to," he says, eating his cookie.

"No, she didn't. She was just being nice," I tell them.

"Dude, I know you don't have a good track record with girls but let me tell you something, she wants you. She wants you bad." I shake my head at him and focus on my book while eating the cookie. Mmm, this is fucking good.
