4 - Odd Behavior

Picture is of Aquarius

Taurus walked into math with a new gusto. She had forgotten about Gemini and her craziness, and had decided to worry about Cancer later. She and Aquarius had texted a lot last night, and they were both happy to have each other. Aqua had been alone and on her own until then. Hence, Taurus knew she had a reliable and definite friend. She walked into math looking for Aquarius, only to be greeted by a face that was not Aqua.

"We need to talk. Now." She dragged Taurus out of the classroom, past the empty GT hallway, through crowds of students Taurus didn't know, and into a bathroom near the cafeteria. She turned to look at Taurus, squeezing her shoulders lightly. "I know everything."

Taurus' eyes widened. "You what?" she blurted. Immediately, realizing her mistake, she slapped her hands over her mouth. Slowly, she took them off, and said, "I, uh, I mean, what are you talking about?"

Pisces put her hands on her hips and smirked. "Really? You know exactly what I'm talking about - Mini and what she did. I kinda am her best friend?"

Taurus remained quiet. "Look, she's not like that usually. It's just that when it comes to Cancer, she goes crazy! She's crazy protective. You just need to learn how to deal."

Taurus said, "And how is that?"

Pisces fished into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Come to this address tomorrow after school. I hope you like fro-yo."

Taurus frowned. "Fro-yo. What's that?"

Pisces gasped. "You've never had fro-yo?! Frozen yogurt?!"

"No, but it's food, so I love it already! I'll be there for sure!"

"Great!" Pisces exclaimed. "I can't wait!!" And with that, Pisces rushed out the door and disappeared into the crowded hallway.

"Pass the red paint, T!"

Aquarius and Taurus were in art, and they were painting self portraits. They only had primary colors, so everyone had to mix colors to get the colors they needed. Aquarius was lucky, having pink hair and blue eyes, but Taurus had brown hair and brown eyes, so she had to mix more paints and experiment more to find the colors she needed.

Taurus said, "Sure!" and reached out to grab the red paint.

As her fingers touched the paint, she felt a short sting. Taurus looked up to see one of the Nerd Squad kids - the girl - with her fingers on top of hers. The girl looked frazzled, as if touching other people's fingers was some kind of sin. Her eyes went wide, and she mumbled something along the lines of "Oh no... it's true..." She quickly said, "Sorry." before rushing off. Taurus watched her, as she ran to the boy and whispered something in her ear. The boy's eyes widened as he listened. He looked at her, she nodded, he nodded, she sat down, and they got back to work.

"What's up with them?" Taurus asked Aquarius.

"Oh, they've been like that since you came. It's as if something is wrong with you being here. But don't worry, you have me. Anyways, you were telling me about Pisces?"

But Taurus wasn't listening. It was true - those two had been acting really weirdly ever since they laid sight on Taurus. She had to get down to the bottom of this.

Taurus walked over to the two, a bag of her favorite chips in her hand. He arrived at the table, and slammed her hands down on the table, making them look. "Okay, guys, I'm not sure who's who, but Cancer & Gemini told me y'all are Nerd Squad, Capricorn and Virgo, I think it was?"
