Zodiac High

Chapter 67

Taurus POV: New Beginnings
        Today's our first day back to school and the girl's dorm is as busy as a beehive. I can clearly remember everyone waking up and friends and lovers being reunited as well as introducing our new friends Arête Asterope, and Calypso. I'm so happy that they had come with us even though it was more of accident. They had decided to stay and are interstates into our class. Also our dorm each have two new beds, one for Calypso and Asterope. I feel that we are all happy to be back and are really excited to meet new people. Soon, we are all dressed and running to get something to eat before eight o'clock comes around. We eat a quick breakfast with the boys in the cafeteria and head to our first class. To tell you the truth, we all look like zombies. But, we all arrive to class without any interruptions and right on time. Exams are coming up and teachers are cramming everything for us. We, meaning the twelve of us and Aphros, stay together for the whole day. But, summer's coming. And I can't wait! Through the school, each student can go on two trips. The twelve of us chose to go camping and then to visit some ruins. Summer's so close that I can feel the sun's magnificent rays and the cool water. Well, I've just got totally distracted. Good thing I'm just at lunch. But, I am finally pulled from my thoughts as Gemini waves her hand in front of my face while saying," Earth to Taurus. Hello in there."
        I smile and reply," Yes, dearly beloved sister." 
        The entire table is laughing their heads off. Good, we finally get some laughter in our lives. I can't believe that just yesterday we were fighting to keep four of our friends alive. And we did it. Oh great I'm getting pulled back into my thoughts once again. The laughter died down once again and we continue talking. Suddenly, I feel a new weight on the bench next to me. I look over to see Aquarius or Aqua as we call him. I say," Hey, Aqua. How are you doing?"
" Actually, pretty good now that I'm sitting next to you."
He winks as I feel my face grow red. I've liked him since forever but, he's always had it for Pisces. But, I guess he's changed?! Okay stay calm, Taurus. Stay calm. Maybe our adventures changed him? Maybe this can work out? My thoughts are interrupted with the bell signaling that it's time to get back to class. Oh great, we all have a double period of elemental magic. Well, I guess I got to go and find my fellow earth signs. I grab my bag and head out with my girls.
Aquarius POV
Wow. I can't believe I just said that. I don't know what's come over me. I think I like Taurus now? Oh, Orion. I bet she thinks I'm just playing with her feelings as almost everyone knows I have a thing for Pisces. But, I DON'T, well not anymore at least. I head back to class as I feel a wave on regret wash over me. I feel that if I don't do anything about this, nothing will ever come from it. Through the rest of class, I decide I'm going to be bold and completely confess because if I don't someone else is going to sweep her off of her feet, like that Arête. He's been talking to her more than anyone else after him, Asterope, and Calypso have joined our class. I will not let it happen again. As we all walk to library to work on our homework, I pull her aside and confess," Taurus, ever since we had to get the flower and the apple, I've grown to love you. You probably don't feel the same way but,"
I'm cut off with a small peck on the lips by none other than Taurus. She smiles at me as she answers with," Oh Aqua! I never thought that this could happen. I've grown to love you too. "
" So, does this mean we're together?" I hopefully ask.
" Yep!" she states with confidence.
We walk hand in hand knowing that we both have found the one to make ourselves compete.

Hi there. I'm so so so sorry for not updating in like forever. It's not good at all. Just like every author that struggles to keep a constant update schedule, school is a huge and really liable excused. With final exams coming up and teachers cramming like everything in the last month left of school, I've had almost zero free time. I love this story and want to continue writing in it. But, my updates won't go back to about once every week/2 weeks till I am done with school. I am thankful to all of my readers. But, especially to @Yumnakhan13 for all of the votes and for giving inspiration to write once again. I understand that being a reader is frustrating when the author doesn't update in forever but, I am thankful to all of my faithful readers. As always, new chapter as soon as possible.

P.S. Thanks so much for -58k- views!!!
