Zodiac High

Leo

Leo was walking out of the jet, holding Gemini's hand. Leo's heart was still beating rapidly and loudly. Everyone else was quiet as they followed Vicky and Nora into the airport. Everyone went to get their bags. Leo was looking around. Her eye caught a man standing in the corner with a fancy suit. He was wearing a hat, so Leo couldn't see his face. But she knew he was staring at her. She blinked and the man was gone.

"The bus taking you all to school will be here in ten minutes. So go buy snacks or whatever." Announced Nora. Leo could tell she was tired.

"I'm going to the restroom." She told Gemini. "I'll be back soon." She walked around for a bit until she saw a sign that indicated where the restrooms were. She walked inside and walked to the basin to splash some water on her face.

"Hi Leo." Leo looked around frantically, still spooked from the man. She let out a breath of relief when she saw someone familiar.

"Oh hey." Leo greets back at her. It was Capricorn.

"Are you okay?" Cap asked.

"No, I'm not." Capricorn was surpised when she heard this. Leo wasn't one to say that she wasn't alright.

"What's up?"

"Can I tell you later? I'm still feeling weird about it." Says Leo before splashing her face with water once again. Capricorn nodded, but she was worried.

They walked out of the bathroom and met with everyone else right on time. The bus was had just arrived and everyone was boarding it. Leo packed her suitcase in the back of the bus and walked inside to find her seat. Capricorn was sitting with Cancer and there was a seat open next to Pisces. She smiled at him and sat down.

"Hi." Said Leo. She honestly could not remember his name and she was sure he couldn't remember hers either.

"Hi." They sat awkwardly for five minutes.

"I'm Pisces." He says, breaking the awkward tension.

"I'm Leo." Leo suddenly felt better about their situation.

"How are you?" Asked Pisces. Leo rolled her eyes.

"I'm not one for this awkward bullshit. Say what you want to say." Leo said. Pisces felt nervous.

"Do you have a pet?" Pisces asked nervously. Leo sighed.

"No. I like your eyes." She said. "They're really pretty."

"Thanks. I like pie." Said Pisces. Leo giggled. The two talked until the bus came to a stop ten minutes later. They looked out the window and saw their new school. There were students on the green lawn, which was decorated with bright flowers. The building was painted white and had a marble staircase leading to the entrance. There were gold pillars decorated with fairy lights.

The bus stopped in front of the great hall and everyone walked out. She wanted to get away from Pisces.

"Everyone get your stuff and follow me. When you get inside I need you to keep quiet as this is a quiet place." Said Nora. Everyone grabbed their bags and left them neatly outside the doors of the hall. They were ingraved with gold and silver stars and planets. The group sat down in chairs with their names on them. There were a few other people there too.

Probably new here. Leo thought. A woman walked up into the stage with a microphone.

"Good day students. Welcome to everyone new. All those who aren't new, welcome back. Everyone who was here last year and needs a new roomate should stay and listen to what I'll tell you all." Leo was here last year and she did not like it at all. Her roomate was a descendant of Pegasus named Kia. She was fucking annoying and rude. Leo was thankful that she left.

"I will be announcing what constellation group each person is in and who your roomate and group teacher is." Announced the woman. "Gina and Finn are in Cassiopeia. Emma and Cameron are in Norma. Ursula and Wendy are in Ursa. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces are the new Zodiacs."

Leo looked at everyone in her group. Last year she wasn't in a constellation group because they needed twelve in order to be announced. Whoever brought nine new students into the school might have been in a huge hurry. The woman announced all the other constellation groups and everyone else's roomates before she got to the Zodiac group.

"Aries is with Aquarius. Taurus is with Leo. Gemini is with Virgo, Cancer is with Sagittarius, Scorpio and Pisces. Libra and Capricorn." Everyone got up and sat with their roomates. Leo smiled at Taurus and shook her hand. The Zodiacs were assigned Mr Lacerta. He showed the Zodiacs to their house, which was a five minute walk from the school. Leo walked into the house and almost died. It was beautiful. It had white glittery walls and gold skirting boards. There were crystal chandeliers and shiny white tiles on the floor.

"Shit." Said Virgo loudly.

"Mind your language." Scolded Mr Lacerta.

"Oh fuck, sorry." Virgo said smirking. Mr Lacerta rolled his eyes at him. Everyone stood quietly, looking at out the window.

"Fuck this shit. I'm leaving." Said Sagittarius before leaving the room and going upstairs. Leo shrugged and walked upstairs to her bedroom. Everyone else followed. Leo walked into her room and squealed. It looked just like the rest of the house but brighter and shinier. Leo dropped her bags and packed her things into her closet. Taurus walked in a while later, smiling.

"What are you so happy about?" Asked Leo, also starting to smile. Taurus giggled and flopped into her bed.

"It's nothing." Leo looked at her strangely and turned back to pack her things.

It got dark out and Leo walked to the window to close the curtains. She looked out the window and almost had a heart attack when she saw the man from the train station. The man looked directly at Leo. She couldn't make out his face. He walked away but Leo was still shook. She had to tell someone.
