Zodiac High

Chapter 8 ~ Attacked

Hi guys! Well this was gonna be a Thanksgiving chapter but... the time for that is past.
LET'S MAKE IT A WINTER CHAPTER INSTEAD! Yes; good idea me! Alrightie, lets see what Gemini and the Gang are up to today! No, none of these events have or (likely) will happen in real life. My family doesn't even have a tree. Next chapter will come out next week, I swear. And when it does it'll be a proper holiday chapter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- GEMINI'S POV -
I looked at the tree in the middle of our home and rolled my eyes.
"Mums, do we HAVE to have a tree this big? It's... kind of bending at the top." I called to my mother; who was in another room. She called back with a 'yes' and i rolled my eyes. Whatever; I wouldn't be spending the holiday season here. I'd be spending it at my friends' houses.

The other Zodiacs and I had started hanging out so much more often, going to each others' houses pretty much every day for help with homework or on projects. Sophia had stopped hanging with her classmates to hang with us onstead-- just the other day she had turned down a date from her class because he wanted her to go to his house instead of Capri's for the holidays. And that was not gonna happen.

Today however, was one of the days to head towards Sag's house. Her mum always had the best snacks-- everyone liked her house. My turn was tomorrow, that's beside the point. We had a skit to work on today. It. Was. Gonna. Be. Awesome.

I knocked on the door and Sag's older sister came to the door. She was going to be a lawye--

"You are five minutes late. In, in. You may have one free pass; this time. But only this once." She growled at me; and i rolled my eyes. Behind her Sagittarius and Capricorn were smiling out at me, and when Sag's sister stepped away from the door I ran into the house happily.

"Hey guys! How're you doing?" I exclaimed, even though we had JUST seen each other at school.

"Gemri, you made it! I thought you might miss it on account of your... issue." Soph referred to the fact that I had s SUPER annoying cold; every five seconds I coughed and every once in a while it felt like a fireball was hitting the back of my head.

"Soph, this is our last practice. Theres no way I'd miss it! Now cmon, it's cold out there! Close the door, lets all get to work." I took charge -- as I was prone to doing -- and quietly surveyed the room to check that everyone was here.

"Aries?" I asked, as she was huddling in a corner alone. "Aries what's wrong?" The only response I got was a flash of a black eye as she looked up.

"She were attacked on her way here. Those stupid boys punched Aries's beautiful face. When i get my hands on them I'm going to rip them to tiny little shreds for what they did..."  Taurus's hands clenched in her chair. I immediately got up and walked towards Aries.

"Aries, it's alright. We promise; it's gonna be okay. They won't hurt you again. C'mon now, you can have the first cookie." I whispered as I  helped her up. She wiped away her tears and her face turned into a sneer.

"They lept out of the bushes and just started beating me... if I hadnt been caught by surprise they never could've gotten a finger onto me! I will get them someday, I swear. When they least expect it coming I will get them." She then fell into cursing udpnder her breath, and i smiled. The old Aries was back. The one who would fight to the death to protect her(and all of ours, although we strongly advise her not to) reputation and pride.

"There you go! Now come on, we have a skit to finish." I smiled brightly and the twelve of us quickly got into our roles. We laughed as we played around with the voices for our roles; and when we finally finished the practice for the night all anger from earlier was mostly forgotten. I walked out of Sag's house with a giant smile crossing my face and laughing happily as I skipped back home.
