Zodiac Trials

Chapter 13| POV Scorpio

     She put her hand out and grabbed my wrist to make me turn back toward her. "It's fine, Libra," she tried to speak louder this time. It seemed as if her expression was slowly trying to glow. I flashed a friendly smile and returned to my seat next to her.

(Last chapter was in Libras POV!)

     Libra and I had been sitting on the bench, chatting and watching as people were walking around and enjoying themselves, before we had to be forced to din together in the dinning hall. At first it was a rough start, since I'm not one for  being asked questions or asking questions. They always were bothersome and uncomfortable for my nature.

     But after a little while, I began to speak to Libra more, and sort of got more comfortable speaking to him. There seemed to be something about him that was welcoming and friendly. It felt as if their was an orb around him, that made everyone feel welcomed. A feelings that I wasn't familiar with, but could identify fairly quick by the fact it was unfamiliar. 

     "So, do you like being here?" He asked me kindly and with a friendly tone. It made me slightly cringe at how nice and friendly he was, where typically I was the emo girl, who was casted out and no one wanted to even look at out of fear. Another reason I was thankful for Capricorn and Taurus, but they are hanging out together, rather than including me with them.

    I kept quiet for a few seconds. "Not really," I replied in my usual low voice. The feelings of comfortableness and excitement were now gone. I was happy about talking to someone, and someone other than Capricorn and Taurus. I had a feeling of comfort because the way Libra acted show it. But now it had totally flipped the other way around.

     This is one of the many things I don't like about my life. One second I'm surprisingly feeling great and upbeat, then one simple thing happens, then my mood becomes the opposite. Most of the time there is no explanation, like now.

     Libra nodded. It seemed as if he was thinking. Maybe thinking of what to say next, or contemplating on whether or not to get up and go. The second option happened 99% percent of the time.

    "Why do you want to know?" I snapped suddenly. I stared down at the ground and held my mouth opened, shocked at my reaction. Never did I plan for those words to come out, they just did. There was bubbling anger behind them.

    But I didn't apologize for it. To me, I've always thought it was weird how everyone needed to ask so many questions about someone. Do they really need to know so much about their personal life? This is why when people ask the more personal questions, I clench up and said words with harshness behind them.

    I glanced up at Libra for a split second, and in that split second his face turned from a frown to a half hearted smile. He possibly was trying to bury his feelings deep, like I tend to do.

  He held up a hand. "No worries, I understand that I should back off," he exclaimed sincerely. He was forcing a smile at me. It made me feel sad that he had to force a smile to try and cover up his emotions.

     'Gosh, that sounds oddly familiar...' My mind thought. I pushed the thought aside, because it did sound a lot like me.

     I nodded. I really wanted the comfortable feeling I had a few seconds ago to return. We were talking about one of the 'higher up class' jocks, and how it was funny when he feel right in front of us. It brought a bright smile to my face and made me laugh. Libra had laughed along as well, but it seemed he was trying to act the same way I was, so that he could maybe make me feel 'better' about myself sitting all alone. But it was still better than the feeling I had now.
