Zodiac High School

Aries

I can't believe what Gemini did yesterday! I thought he was so cute and funny and nice. Apparently I was all wrong. I'm sitting in my car waiting for Sag, who's running late this morning, when I get a text from Scorp.

S: where are you?! Everyone but you and Sag are here already!

A: we're coming don't worry

It's Saturday, and we're supposed to meet our squad at our favorite coffee shop. It's a small shop where not many people go, but they have the best place to hang out, and the best hot chocolate.

"Sorry! I was distracted!" Sag yells as she runs out the door of her house. She's wearing black leggings and a grey tank top that dips low on the sides so a part of her sports bra shows. You can always count on Sagittarius to wear black and dark grey no matter what.

"It's fine, we better hurry though, Scorpio just texted me." I laugh, and she buckled up as I drive away.

10 minutes later, we're walking into the coffee shop, and Cancer waves us over. Everyone is there, Cancer, Scorpio, Aquarius, Pisces, Virgo, and even Taurus. I see Pisces checking out an oblivious Sag. I sit at the round table next to Aquarius, who waves at me. She's sitting next to Virgo, who is talking to Taurus. Across from me is Scorpio and Cancer, who are playing major footsie under the table. Pisces sits between Taurus and Cancer, and Sag slides in next to me.

"Look who finally decided to show up!" Taurus exclaims, and he lets out a small chuckle. I notice how his face lights up when he laughs.

"We would've been ready in time if Sag didn't take her sweet time to get ready." I counter, and Sag kicks me under the table, and I notice how she glances at Pisces, who's deep in a conversation about some stupid boy thing with Cancer.

We all talk for a bit, until a waitress around our age shows up to take our order. She noticeably checks out an oblivious Cancer. Scorpio starts ordering for everyone, getting all our drinks right. She takes it as a challenge to memorize everything we order anywhere, and recites it for us every time we have to order.

"Aquarius will have a white chocolate chip hot chocolate, Pisces will have just a black coffee with no creamer or sugar, Taurus will have a caramel frappe, Sagittarius will have an iced green tea, Virgo will have a cappuccino with whipped cream and chocolate chips on top, Aries will have a normal hot chocolate with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles, Cancer will have a macchiato with extra cream, and I'll have a caramel Frappuccino with whipped cream, caramel drizzled on top, and a shot of espresso." Scorpio finishes, out of breath.

"Wow, I think I got it all. You're order will be ready as soon as possible!" The waitress says, and walks off.

We continue our conversations and I glance over at Pisces, who seems like he's wanting to say something, but he can't. Sag looks the same way. I wish they'd each grow up and actually talk, instead of secretly glancing at each other, hoping the other won't notice. No matter how old and angsty they both look, I know that inside they're both dying to talk. I laugh to myself.

"Here you guys are!" The friendly waitress says as she comes back with our drinks.

"Thanks so much!" Cancer says, and the waitress blushes, failing at trying to hide her crush on him. Scorpio notices and kisses Cancer on the cheek as if to say "mine."

We all sip on our drinks, until Cancer, hyper on caffeine, jumps up and kisses Scorpio.

"Let's go do something!" He says, and Scorpio laughs. Cancer seems to get drunk on caffeine all the time, which is probably why he loves espressos.

"Ok! Let me go pay, and then we'll decide what to do." I offer, and everyone agrees. We all take turns paying, so there's never any fighting about how the bill should be split.
