Making Senpai Notice Me (Pisces x Scorpio)

T h i r t e e n

I ignored his stares and focused on what really mattered. The friendlier ones of course!

"Take a seat! We don't bite." Gemini laughed. Capricorn smirked.

"Well at least not hard." She giggled. I laughed along with her. Of course I knew they didn't really bite. Or at least I hoped they hadn't.

I took a seat next to Aquarius and Cancer. I was in the middle of the two. I was pretty squished but it was oddly comfortable. Leo and Libra were in front of me along with the others and some were on the other side of Aquarius and Cancer too.

I had never imagined that I would be surrounded by so much friendly people. Especially on the first day! I let out a smile but everyone just thought I was smiling at what was being said even though I was smiling for something completely different. My friends.

After a short while of bonding with them all, I relaxed my tense body and opened up to them. Of course not ALL of my dark feelings that were deep down inside. Just ones above the surface of all that. Like how I was shy and what my hobbies were. For instance, I enjoyed swimming and most of them figured that out about me just by looking at me. I was a water sign so it was obvious.

At least it gave me something to talk about with the other water signs. All except for Scorpio. He just continued to ignore me and stare blankly in another direction. He was completely oblivious to my gaze and I was thankful for that. I kept watching him. The way his eyes sparkled in the light of the cafeteria was just beautiful. He was beautiful.

"Why can't he just talk to me like everyone else can?" I accidentally mumbled. But no one heard. Luckily. I just didn't understand what the problem was. Was I weird? Was I annoying? Gees, I'm trying so hard to be normal and it's still not enough.

"Pisces!" Taurus yelled. I widened my eyes and stared at them frightened. I must have daydreamed again. Of course I would do that. I always do that. I've been doing it more often since I met Scorpio. It's almost like I would want to escape reality just by looking at him. And I always do. But of course it never lasts.

"Huh?" I asked surprised. They were all staring at me now. I was the center of attention and I hated it.

Scorpio faced me and rolled his eyes before looking away. I could feel my heart drop in my chest. Why did it hurt so much? Please make it stop. Heart, you need to stop caring so much when the ones you care about could care less about you.

"We were saying that we were going to go ahead and get some lunch." Leo replied.

"Care to join us?" Virgo asked. I was going to decline their offer but my stomach rumbled. I was hungry earlier and then I lost the feeling and now it came back. That's usually how it works for me.

I got up from the table and nodded my head. The others joined me and a few stayed behind including Scorpio.

'Is he too good to eat now? Wait don't say that Pisces! You don't know his backstory. He could have an eating disorder and you just insulted him. You should be ashamed!' I fussed myself in my head.

I walked with Sagg, Leo, and Virgo to grab some food and go. I wondered what they had on the menu because I was starved. I walked a bit faster than the others and made it to the line. The line wasn't short and pretty soon I was serving myself some nuggets and desert.

"CHOCOLATE!!" I yelled to myself. I didn't mean to get carried away, I just really love chocolate! Not my fault!

"Whoa does someone love chocolate?" Asked Leo. I stared at him like he were crazy.

"What are you crazy?! Of course I do!" I answered him back. Virgo giggled at my reaction. I grabbed a juice and waited for them to hurry up and get their stuff.

Once they got it, we headed back to the others and talked and ate. I ate hungrily but then realized that I shouldn't be shoving food down my mouth like that. It was very unattractive.

"You look beautiful." Taurus smiled.

I swallowed the last piece of nugget and stared awkwardly.

"You think I'm beautiful when I eat? Uh thank you I guess." I blushed and looked around the room nervously. Why was I nervous that Scorpio would think that Taurus and I had a thing? He didn't care and I shouldn't either.

Little did I know about the jealous Scorpio  clenching and unclenching his fist on the other side of the table staring viciously at Taurus.
