Zodiacs' Academy

Scorpio POV

"Fuck this." I say. Sagittarius is walking beside me and laughing with her arms crossed.

She flips her brown hair with a swift movement of her head. She's currently wearing a tight black skirt that goes to just above her knees. She's also wearing a tight white shirt that is tucked into her pencil skirt and black heels.

"I find this day kind of fascinating." She says with a shrug of her shoulder.

"Fascinating? Pfft, all this day is for is to tell some dumbasses that they belong somewhere they don't wanna be. I mean, come on. In the last two years, there's only been one other Scorpio. I have five people in my House. FIVE."

"Probably because Scorpio's are so bitter. Once people start the test, they're thinking of everything a Scorpio would do and doing the opposite."

We arrive at the Test Rooms. "Oh, shut up, Saggy Tits."

"HEY!" she slaps my shoulder. "For your information, my tits are not saggy!"

She holds her breasts and walks off with her eyes closed and her nose in the air, her head held high. Then, she trips over her heel and stumbles. I laugh. She has the most perfect legs but she can't even balance.

"SHUT UP!" She yells back. I don't stop laughing and begin walking off to where I test.

Pisces's room is right next to mine. I don't understand why. I thought the rooms who were most similar were supposed to be near each other. Like Pisces, Cancer, Gemini. Aries, Capricorn,  Me/Scorpio. Sagittarius, Libra, Taurus. Aquarius, Leo, Virgo.

Each house has it's own personality. Aries are independent. Taurus are patient. Gemini are motivational. Cancer are strong. Leo are leaders. Virgo are loyal. Libra are smart. Scorpio are brave. Sagittarius are confident. Capricorn are careful. Aquarius are innovative. Pisces are creative.

Each of these are good things; happy things. But we all have our bad traits, and I can go on about that too. But instead, I have to go test some people and figure out they're in Sagittarius, Leo, Libra, or Pisces. Those are the top results. The most occupied.

I walk in with a clipboard. "What's your name?" I say loudly.

The boy jumps. "Uh, K-Kevin.. You're Scorpio. I admire you!!"

"Yeah, well, you're over excited. Probably Gemini, or Sag." I say. He raises his eyebrows. "Lay down. This is gonna hurt, suck it up and deal with it."

I grab the needle and jab it into his arm. He yells. "OW!"

"Wimp," I chuckle. He falls into sleep and I look at the screen with my arms crossed.

He is in a prison cell with lions surrounding him. He screams. Then he stops and looks around. He reaches his arm out of the jail cell and grabs a stick. He drags the stick across his arm, blood spilling. He splatters his blood on the concrete and the lions lick it. Then, he jumps on a lions head and grasps the jail cell. The lion, angry, begins biting the jail cell, violently shaking it until a piece of it falls to the ground. He then jumps out of the piece, distracting the lion by drawing more blood on the jagged metal fence.

His eyes blink open. I stare at the screen.

"Welcome to Scorpio."

Cancer's POV

Pisces runs over to me. She's panting. Just another benefit of being across the field from me. We get exercise when we wanna see the other.

"What's up?" I ask, adding a clean file to my computer.

"We.. have. A problem!" She says in between short breaths.

"Just a second." I say, walking into my room. A girl is fiddling with her thumbs. "Hi sweetie. What's your name?"

"Terri." She says, pulling at the ends of her black hair. A nervous one.

"Hi, Terri. I'll be back. It'll just be a minute. Is that alright?" I don't need to ask. I know she's gonna say yes. But it's just a nice thing to do.

"Yes, take your time."

I smile. "I'll be in shortly." I walk out and close the door.

"What's happening?"

"Thirteen."

"Hm?" I say, furrowing my eyebrows.

"There aren't twelve houses."

"Yes, Pisces. There are. Do you want me to name all of them?"

She sighs. "No, that's not what I mean!"

"Then what?"

"Ophiuchus."

I laugh at her. "Pisces, Pisces... That's a myth. The Thirteenth Zodiac? That's a myth."

"Want proof?" She raises her eyebrows at me and hands me a paper from her pocket. The paper is sweat stained and folded unevenly.

I bunch up my nose in disgust. Pisces are supposed to be creative, neat. I take the paper and open it, reading it.

"Her name is Ophiuchus," Pisces points out.

"Well, I can name my kid Gemini. That won't make them a Gemini."

I read over the paper. "Yeah, maybe not, but it's not just her name. Her result was undetermined so I tested her again. It showed her as Leo, Pisces, Gemini, Cancer, Taurus, and Scorpio. Then I tested her again. I got Sagittarius and Libra. Instead of putting a needle in her one more time, I re-ran the results. It says Ophiuchus."

My eyes widen. There is an Ophiuchus in this school.
