Zodiac High School

Gemini

When Capricorn told me she liked me, I ran out of that booth as fast as I could. I don't like her. I don't like any girl! I called my brother to come pick me up, and as soon as I got home, I texted Libra.

G: Hey, sorry I dipped on you guys, Cap told me she likes me, and I didn't want to reveal our secret.

L: It's fine, I'm just glad nobody has found out yet

G: yea, let's jut hope nobody looks at our texts

L: that would be bad

G: I'm going to work on my homework, 💕 bye

L: Bye 😘

I really hope nobody finds out Libra and I are dating, that would ruin our reputations big time. I really like Libra, he's funny, nice, and super cute.

That night I dream of a time where we can be together publicly and not be judged.

The next day, I get a text from Leo.

Leo: Hey Gem, I have an idea

G: what is it?

Leo: during tryouts today, you'll tackle Taurus, and make sure you hurt him, that'll teach him to humiliate me

G: ok I guess

L: You better do what I say unless you want your secret revealed

Crap. I don't want to hurt anybody! That's Leo for you, always being dramatic af. I guess I have to do what she says now, or else she'll tell everyone about Libra and I.

I tell Libra in our way to change after school, and he just tells me that Leo had told him to do it.

"She texted me, and I told her that I wouldn't do it."

"I should've told her too, I'm just scared that we'll be exposed!" I told him, and he just sighed and looked back at me.

"You know, why don't we just come out to everyone?" He suggests.

"We just have to make it the rest of the school year." I tell him, and he just solemnly nods.

I hate all these secrets we have to keep, but it is just easier this way for everyone. I don't want to hurt Libra in any way, so I keep quiet about our relationship.

Leo is the only other person who knows. She walked in on us making out one day, and had been blackmailing both of us ever since.

"Well, I guess I have to go and hurt an innocent person." I say, and Libra starts laughing. I shoot him a glare as we enter the locker room.

Ten minutes later, we're standing out for football tryouts and the coach is yelling degrading things at us. Things haven't changed since last year. Taurus is standing next to his best friend Cancer, who is currently laughing. I always wondered why all the girls like Cancer, he just seems too basic.

Halfway through the practice, I see my chance. Taurus took off his padding to cool down during a break, and coach tells me to do a demonstration, and I "mess up" and charge full speed into Taurus.

I'm much taller and more muscular than him, and he goes limp the second we hit the ground. Everyone rushes over, and Cancer pushes me aside.

"Somebody call 911!" He yells, "What's your problem, dude?"

"I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I thought coach motioned to him during my demonstration, and I know better than to question him, and I really want to make the team!" Crap. I was starting to ramble on and on. I shut my mouth and make room for when the paramedics get there.

Pandemonium is all around as Scorpio, Aries, Aquarius, and Sagittarius run down with a phone in Scorpio's hand.

"The ambulance is on its way! Is he waking up?" Scorpio starts saying, and just then, he starts to open his eyes. Aries rushes over and holds his head while making sure he stays awake.

"My moms a nurse, I learned what to do in this situation!" She says.

What have I done?
