Chapter 8

Gemini's POV

Saturday, 9:50 AM

I'm bored. I'm lying in my bed at the star shape glow-in-the-dark stickers that I pasted a few days ago in my ceiling. I wonder how the creator of these stickers managed to make them glow in the dark. Maybe it was a day like this one that a scientist brought some normal star shaped stickers and didn't notice the chemical spread in the table, but it was too late. The stickers had already been soaked on the unknown chemical. The scientist devastated left the lab to get a rag to clean up the space, but he didn't expect to see what he did when he came back. The star stickers were glowing.

Why are butterflies called butterflies? Like, they aren't a butter bar that suddenly grew wings and started flying around. How come that the "bat" is the name an animal but also the name of a tool used for a sport? Why do some people pour the milk before the cereal?

"Cancer"

"Cancer"

"Canceeeeeeeeeer"

Saturday, 9:53 AM

"CAuSe ThE hArDeSt PaRt oF tHiS iS lEaViNg YOOOOOOOUUUUUU"

"COULD YOU NOT, GEMINI!" Cancer lifts his cover from over his face having an annoyed expression from being woken up by yours truly.

"Cancer!" I try to sound as innocent as possible as to not get hit in the face with a pillow.

"What, Gemini?! What?!" He sounds annoyed, but he need to know my predicament.

"I'm bored."

"Ok... I don't care." Cancer tries to cover himself up again and enter dreamland, but everyone knows he's not getting nowhere near there now that I've gotten his attention.

"CAANCEEEEEEEEEERRR"

"WHAAAAAAAAATTTTT?"

"I'm boooooored!"

"Then go outside or something."

"But I don't want to go aloooone..."

"Well isn't that sad."

"Cancer!"

"OH MY! UGH, FINE!"

"Thank youuuu," and that ladies and gentlemen is how you get a Cancer to go out with you.

-          At the Plaza   -

Cancer and I were walking through the plaza talking about ourselves (AKA me doing all the talking) when we spotted some of our classmates.

"Cancer we should go talk to them!" I was jumping by this point. I love to make new friends.

"I don't know, Gem. I think they want to be alone."

"Nonsense! Come on!" I drag Cancer with me to where the couple was.

"Hi! My name is Gemini, and I recognized you from class thinking maybe we could introduce to each other more formally." The couple looked startled for a moment, but then the girl smiles and gestures for Cancer and me to sit with them.

"Of course! My name is Pisces Lympha, nice to meet you." She nudges the guy next to her to introduce himself. He sighs before he starts.

"My name is Scorpio Tempesta," Pisces nudges him again but with more force this time.

"Nice to meet you." Scorpio looked slightly annoyed while Pisces smiled brightly at us.

"Well, as you already know, my name is Gemini Nimbus. It's a great pleasure to meet you!" I turn to Cancer as a way of telling him to introduce himself. He was hesitant at first but finally gave up.
