Zodiac Camp

Reality Check

Aries's POV

After breakfast, Hydra announced that today was a free day and we could do whatever we wished. I wanted to hang out with Scorpio but he wanted to sleep. Since he wasn't with me, I decided to take some pictures of the scenery with my Fuji X-T2.

"Hey Aries," a female voice greeted. I turned around to see Pisces standing there nervously.

"Oh, hey Pisces."

"Can I hang out with you?"

"Sure. Maybe I can teach you some things about photography."

"Okay."

We sat down for an hour or so and I taught her how the basics of photography. I taught her how to take the perfect high resolution picture. I went through my camera scroll and showed her some pictures I've already taken. She's probably the first person who's been genuinely interested in what I've had to say. My rambling about photography could've went on for hours, but then my lesson was interrupted...

"Hey Pi and Aries!" I whipped around to see Scorpio and Taurus. She's probably here for Pisces, makes sense. But that didn't matter, Scorpio was here for me!

"Scorpio!" I go to run in for a hug from my best friend, but instead I was met with the hard ground.

"I don't do hugs."

"If Beyoncé wanted to hug you, you sure as hell would let her."

"Just to make others jealous."

"You would hug your mom, right?"

"Nah, she's betrayed me with other men."

"Your stepdad?"

"She makes cookies for another. I can't trust her," he stated dramatically.

"How tragic. Now can you help me up?" I stuck my hand out and he pulled me up.

"There you go bud, now let's go get some ice cream from the mess hall."

"There's ice cream in the mess hall?"

"And frozen pizzas."

"Let's go!"  The thought of hot pepperoni pizza paired with chocolate ice cream made me hungry. I basically dragged Scorpio to the mess hall causing him to yell a string of profanities at me.

Aquarius's POV

The day went by so fast. I was spending my free day outside catching frogs for fun. Not for sinful purposes such as pranks.

I have caught an American Toad, Wood Frog,  Northern Cricket Frog, and the classic Green Frog.

I would clasped the frog in my hands, inspect it, and then let it go back to it's business.

Catching frogs is relaxing for me. Some may find it to be gross and unsanitary, but I find that frogs and I have something in common.

Maybe because we're both outsiders. We both seem weird, but we're still apart of the big cycle of life.

And I'm fine with that...

Capricorn's POV

"Thank you," Virgo said out of nowhere.

"For what?"

"For being the only mature one here."

I helped Leo pull the prank on you. I don't know what you're talking about.

"Thanks," I responded.

"I know I called you a heathen for sympathizing with people that take morning showers, but I apologize for that."

I hope you know that your sister takes morning showers regularly.

"I know that you are probably the one future success from this camp along with me."

I'm pretty sure none of us are going to end up failures. It's not just optimistic thinking. It's the truth, you're just conforming us into your mold with you reigning supreme.

"Scorpio will just end up as a tattooed druggie on the streets. Aquarius is probably going to get locked up in a mental instut_"

"Shut up."

"What?"

"I said shut up."

"I don't understand."

"You don't talk about Aquarius like that."

"Why not?"

"Because, I'm fed up with you treating everyone here like shit."

"You're over exaggerating."

"No. You're over exaggerating. You're not the only one here that can do great things in life. You honestly need a reality check. You're not the only one here with a successful path. Aquarius is second in his class. Scorpio is in engineering classes, practicing in aerospace sciences. Libra is planning on going to law school to become an attorney for accidents on the job. Aries wants to be a professional photographer, he's president of the photography club. Cancer wants to go into marine biology when he goes to college. Leo, contrary to popular belief, doesn't want to become a cosmetologist. She wants to become a graphic designer. Sagittarius wants to become a physical therapist. Pisces and Gemini don't know what they want to do but Pi wants to do something with marine biology and Gem wants a job dealing with communications. Do you even know what your sister wants to do?"

He fumbled on his words and stood there thinking. Thinking as if he had to dig through the catacombs of his mind to learn something about his own sister.

"World class chef. Someone like Gordon Ramsey or Rachel Ray. She wants to open up her own restaurant and name it Celaeno. She said she wanted to study culinary arts in Italy, the country known for food."

"Really?"

"Yea, surprising, I know more about you sister than you do. Maybe you should talk to people more than judging them from afar."

Sorry about the short chapter for Aqua. I'll make it up to the water-bearers.

Will Virgo learn not to judge people?

Did Scorpio and Aries enjoy their pizza and ice cream?

And is Pisces's crush Aries?

The answers may be revealed on the next chapters of Zodiac Camp!

"Anyway, until next time, stay classy" ~♌️
