Chasing the stars (TERMINATED)

10. Night

~ Libra

'So, how was your hiking trip?' I asked Virgo, she swallowed. 'Err... very heavy actually. I enjoyed the view from a little too close' she muttered, I arched an eyebrow. 'What do you mean? The trees took away the little view we had' now she looked surprised.

'Well, didn't you also climb a mountain?' she questioned. My jaw dropped. 'You climbed a mountain?! We just walked through the forest!' 'Well, it was a small mountain, but still. Why did we do something so different? And dangerous?!' I chuckled at her freaking out, and slung an arm around her shoulders. 'Calm down, you're all okay, aren't you?' I stated, grabbing a piece of chicken.

'Well, I almost wasn't! I nearly fell off a cliff, and Mr. Dave over there didn't do anything!' 'What? You're telling me you almost fell off?!' Virgo went pale and nodded. 'And the counselor didn't do anything?' 'Aries and Taurus had to come save me'
I stood up from my chair, squeezing my hands into fists. 'What an idiot. Who is this Dave? I swear I'll-'
'-Taurus already told him off. She probably also talked to the happy-camper-counselor.' Virgo assured me, I clenched my jaw, but sat back down.

How could he just do nothing while he chose a dangerous route?! I hope he gets punished, that would be fair. He's so lucky Aries and Taurus were there, or...

I shuddered and looked at Virgo, she adjusted her glasses and shoved her plate away from her. 'I'm finished. If I eat one more bite I swear I'll rip right out of these jeans!' she chuckled. 'Suit yourself' I told her, and took the olives from her plate.

'Ladies, gentlemen, your attention please' happy-camper-counselor announced, the conversations slowly died down. 'Tomorrow, we will take you to the city, and rent some bicycles, so you can do whatever you want. We leave at 10 am sharp, anyone coming late will not be able to get a bicycle. Good night for now'

Some people complained about having to wake up early, or how they hated cycling, but I was okay with it. At least we'd be able to come and go whenever we wanted.
I turned to Scorpio, who was quietly observing everyone.

'Hey Scorp, what about we-' '-It's still Scorpio, Sagittarius' he cut Sag off, but he couldn't stop himself from smiling a little. 'Whatever, Scorpio, but how about we stay out tonight and get to know each other better? With the girls, too?' He shrugged. 'If everyone joins, count me in'
'Nice! What about you, Libra?' 'Sure!'
'Could you tell Virgo, and tell her to tell everyone to gather outside tonight?' he added, I nodded.

'Virgo, could you tell everyone we're gathering outside the cabins tonight?' I asked her, she arched an eyebrow. 'Why? We have to get up early!'
'Come on, don't you want to get to know everyone a little better?' I pouted, she rolled her eyes 'Fine'.

11pm

Sagittarius and Capricorn had made a circle with logs they found, quite a distance away from the cabins. One by one, the guys arrived, eventually every boy was there, so we had to wait for the girls, of course.
After a little while, we heard them coming this way, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

'Welcome, ladies! Please take your seats' Sag told them, handing out five flashlights and keeping one himself.
Virgo sat next to me, and Capricorn sat on my other side.
'So, who is in for a little game of thruth or dare?' Sagittarius shone his flashlight in our faces, but nobody reacted. 'I know it's lame, but it's the only way to get to know each other' he added, I shook my head.

'We could also just- Sag, stop it with the damn flashlight in my face! We could also just randomly pick someone, and they can ask any person a random question' the group reacted positively.

'Okay then! First up...' he spun around until his flashlight stopped at
'Leo! What is your question, and whom do you wish to ask it?' Leo looked around the circle with her flashlight, when her gaze stopped at Gemini.
'Gem, are you a virgin?' she asked her, I rolled my eyes at her cliché question. 'Yes, I am. My turn!' She took a careful look around, and stopped at Taurus.
'Taurus, do you consider yourself an open book?' Now, that is an interesting question. Taurus shook her head 'Only if I want to'
She seemed to have a person in mind already, because her flashlight shone on Scorpio right away.

'Scorpio. What type of people do you like?' He thought for a bit, then shrugged. 'Well, I don't like-' '-I was asking what you do like' she cut him off, he sighed. 'People who are a little deep. Not just mindless chit chat, but a person with an original view on things. Their own opinion'
Mmm, that was not what I expected.

Scorpio shone his light on Aries next to him. 'So, Aries, are you really the badboy you act like?' Aries was kind of caught off-guard, so he stammered 'Why, I... what are you trying to say, I act like someone I'm not?'
Scorpio chuckled 'I believe I was asking you something' Aries shrugged. 'Why would I act like someone I'm not?'
'That didn't fully answer my-'
'-Taurus! Are you as fearless as you appear?' He cut Scorpio off. Taurus shrugged 'Of course I'm not fearless, everyone is afraid of something.'

She shone her flashlight at Scorpio again. 'Scorpio, have you ever walked in heels?' Scorpio scoffed. 'What the hell is-' '-Answer, please!' she sweetly smiled, he rolled his eyes. 'No, I have never walked in heels. Sagittarius!'
Sag arched an eyebrow
'Are you a morning person?'
'Well, not really. I consider myself more of a night person. Libra!' I startled when I suddenly heard my name.

'Do you have an embarrassing secret?' I chuckled when I told him 'Yes, I do. Virgo-' '-what is that embarrassing secret?' Sag added, but I grinned at him. 'Unfortunately, you are only to ask me one question! Virgo, do you consider yourself a control-freak?' I winked at her, she bit her lip.
'Well, I just like being organized. So, kinda? Capricorn!' She took my flashlight and shone on Capricorn. 'How much alcohol does it take for you to get a little tipsy?' Capricorn smirked 'As I recently found out, after half a bottle I am a little tipsy' he boasted.
'Mmm... Pisces! Is there secretly a party-animal behind that angelface?' Pisces chuckled 'If I had enough to drink, yes. Leo!' She pointed the light at Leo, sitting closer to Aries than I remember. 'What is the meaning behind your key-necklace?'

Leo's eyes seemed to widen in surprise, but her smug look soon restored itself.
'I got it from Sag, a few years ago. As a symbol of our friendship' I had a feeling she wasn't entirely honest, but that's her choice.
'Cancer!' the girl seemed shocked when Leo called her name 'Why are you constantly hiding behind your phone?' Cancer seemed to struggle for words when she responded
'I'm sure Pisces already told you I'm trying to learn Spanish with this-um, app. It takes a lot of time, so that's why-uh, I'm on my phone so much' she started stammering when Leo squinted her eyes, indicating that she, and honestly most of us, noticed she was not completely truthful.

'Aquarius' Cancer broke the awkward silence, and took Pisces' flashlight to point at Aqua. 'Who of us is most like you, character-wise?' Aquarius thought deeply, then answered 'I think Virgo, since I'm also a very organized person.'

I noticed Virgo lifting her head when Aqua mentioned her name, was she sleeping? 'What time is it?' Pisces yawned, I looked at my watch and responded 'Half past one'
'Let's have Aquarius ask a question and then head back' Sagittarius offered, we all muttered sleepy agreements. 'Well, I wanted to ask all of you a question' he muttered 'Who is also going to have trouble getting out of bed tomorrow?'

I chuckled along with some people when everyone raised their hands.
