Zodiac Districts(1)

All twelve zodiac signs lived in peace with one another. All had the same amount of wealth, and the educational systems are very good despite what most would think for twelve different districts. Each districts had a flag with the color of their national color, and then their sign. Though it wasn't a law created by those of the thirteenth sign, the Ophiuchus, they often stressed that those born under their zodiac; say Aries for an example they stress that they marry other Aries or signs compatible for the Aries sign. Everyone followed this. Everyone has to follow this.

I ran to my class; I was late as normal. I saw my teacher in front of me. He had this rule of if any student that got to the class after he did they would be tardy for the class. He turned back to me and smirked. The older man had never liked me. I ran ahead of him, and into the classroom. I tripped over a few baggs and got my things to my seat.

"Are  you fucking kidding me" I growled to the person who had tripped me. This is the Leo district. The fifth district, and ones who are 'show offs'. They laughed at me. I rolled my eyes, and got up to my seat. The teacher came in and set his things on the desk.

"I see that no one is tardy today" He directed his attention to me. I was known as the special leo. Only god knows why, but it started in grade six when I had just moved to the higher part of the leo district. We are all now in grade eleven. "Today we will be going to learn about the Gemini district" everyone groaned. Apparently Gemini and Leo are really go together. I can see how Aquarius and other fire signs, like Aries and Sagittarius, go well together but not Gemini.

As the teacher kept talking I grabbed my play script, and started to read over it. I got lost in the script of the play I almost didn't notice the bell ring; signifying that first hour was over. "Damn that was fast" I mumbled to myself, and gathered my things. I felt my phone vibrate, and I took it out of my pocket. It was from one of my best friends. He was a Virgo. His name was Kedrick Winther. He was a sweet boy who had a lot going for him. He was creative, and now I'm just getting off tract about him.

'Bitch fuckin help me' I raised an eyebrow from the text he sent me. 

'With? Boi you gotta be specific -3- ' Kedrick gave a very quick reply.

'The girl I love just said she would burn in hell before she even thought about dating me ;-;' my eyes widened as I read the text through the crowded hallways. 

'Aw.... fuck man that sucks..' I turned off my phone and went to my next class. The only thing I knew was that a lot of people were finding their matches for our society. I tripped on something and caught myself. I looked up and saw that I tripped on another bag.

"Fuck you allllllll" I groaned to myself and picked myself up. I kept walking to my class and waited for the day to be over.

As they day went on the final bell soon rang.I jumped up out of my seat and put everything in my bag. Two months before school ended, and I was already waiting to go to the Virgo district. I could finally see Kedrick again!!

I went home and grabbed my script. I went to the woods near my house and started to sing to myself. My home was closer to the Cancer district and I heard something fall out of the tree near the fence. I whipped my head to the source.

A very loud fuck was all I heard from a branch above me. I looked up and saw a person with short pastel blue hair, and dark skin and they were staring at me. 

"H-Hi" that was all?? ALL? Well fuck me they're staring at me now. They stared at me, and I waved a little.

They jumped down from the tree and in front of me. As my eyes widened they stood to their full height; they had to be 5'11 compared to my simple 5'4. They waved a bit and pushed the end of their scarf over their shoulder.

"Hi---" their voice was a bit louder than my own; calmer too. "You have a nice voice." they smirked as a red tint came to my pale face.

"U-um.. My name is Ari Lavi" I held out my hand to them, and the shook my hand.

"Tulio Valentine" they smiled.

"I think this'll be a good friendship of sorts?" I looked them up and down; they did the same. "What are your pronouns?"

"He/him, and your's?" I smiled

"They/them" he smiled at me and kissed my hand. I think Imma like this guy.
