Zodiacs' Academy

|1|

Ophiuchus P.O.V.

I quickly make sure I have everything I need before locking the door and looking down at my doorstep. I turn and look up at the moving truck, ready to take most of my stuff home to my mother while I take the rest to my new dorm room in the Academy. I clench my phone and grin proudly. That's right. I got into a famous Academy.

"Let's go!" The driver of the car calls to me impatiently. He taps the roof of the car, his hand on the open door. I nod and quickly run into the fancy car, handing him my suitcases. He groans and shuts the door, putting my stuff into the trunk then walking to the driver's seat and sitting down. He starts up the car and we drive off.

I look at my apartment one last time, "So is it true?" He turns his head to me as I continue, "That the Zodiac are teachers?" I turn my head to look at him, a smirk graving his lips.

"You'll just have to see." He stops the car and turns his head to look at me. That's when I notice the Big Dipper constellation on his neck. He notices me staring and quickly looks ahead as the lights turn green. The Big Dipper constellation?

Why does he have that? Is it a tattoo? Then again, this school is rumored to have Star Constellations as teachers. So wait... My eyes widen, "Are you the Big Dipper!?"

"Now listen," He said calmly, "The Heavenly Bodies aren't exactly the most penitent and they deserve the upmost respect. Especially Satan-I mean Aries. Try to make friends with them, they're very funny and good friends. I would know. But be careful what you say in front of them, they-"

"So it is true. The teachers are the Zodiac!?" I feel my heart begin to dance happily in my chest, my cheeks flushing a slight red and a smile appearing on my lips. "That's amazing!"

"Mhm, it really is. So, what month is your birthday?" He asks as he pulls into a parking lot.

"I don't exactly know," I look ahead. He narrows his eyes on me, I can tell his confused. "Well, my foster mother found me on her doorstep one day. It just said my name."

"Which is...?"

"Ophiuchus. She made the day she found me my birthday."

"Which is...?"

"December seventeenth."

"We've arrived, you can get out." He said, stepping out of the car. I nod and do the same as he takes my stuff out of the suitcase. I look down at my skirt and quickly pull it down slightly. I shut the door, grab a suitcase while he carries the other one. We begin walking to the building but stop when a large crowd runs past us.

"What was that?" I ask him.

He points at a tall, blonde woman, "Just look," Damn, she's hot! God, I wish I was that pretty. She laughs awkwardly as the guy students ask for her number or attempt to flirt with her.

"Who's she?" I ask him.

"Libra. Why not go say hi-"

Before he could finish, I leave my suitcase and book it to her. Holy mother of Jesus, a Zodiac Sign is right in front of my eyes. I stop when I notice she's looking at me. She smiles and walks past everyone to me. Holy crap, she's walking to me! Look cool. Look cool. Be natural. I feel myself begin to sweat.

IT'S AN ACTUAL ZODIAC SIGN!

"You must be Ophiuchus, right?" She asks me. I freeze but manage to nod. "Libra," She holds out her hand to shake mine. I take her hand in my sweaty one. We let go and she places her hand on her hip, "Damn, you're sweaty. Why? Is it because you're meeting a Zodiac?"

"You're exactly how I imagined Libra to be!"

"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?"

"Nothing- sorry!"

"Anyway, it was nice talking to you," Libra said as she slowly opens the door to which I will take the test where it will determine which house I am in. "And again, hopefully you become a Libra. I wish you the best of luck." I nod and step inside the room, she closes the door behind me. I look around at the plain white room and notice a bed, a vile of some kind of stuff. And then a beautiful, blue-eyed woman sitting on a chair.

"Excuse me?"

"Ah yes, Ophiuchus," She stands up and walks to me, holding out her hand to shake mine, "I'm Pisces, nice to meet you." I begin to sweat again as I shakily shake her hand. She smiles warmly as she leads me to the bed. "Alright, lay down."

"Yes," I obey and lay down, closing my eyes. This wasn't like the test I expected it to be.

"Now relax, think of things you may enjoy or that make you happy."

I relax my shoulders and think of maybe finding my real parents one day or graduating and becoming very successful.

"Good. Now you may feel a little pinch but it's okay," She was right, I felt something pinch my arm really hard. I wince but relax again, feeling myself drift off into sleep.

I open my eyes quickly, sitting up and looking around the nonexistent room. Where am I? I'm outside! Why am I here? I stand up and look around at the beauty. Then suddenly, I hear loud crows.

Are those the human-eating crows from that movie I watched!?

I notice that there are different weapons lined up for me to use. Now I realize. They're watching what I'm doing. My actions reflect what house I get put into.
