Zodiacs' Academy

Aries POV

Cancer walks towards me with some girl beside her. I sit up in my desk, putting the book down.

"Good morning," Cancer says. I half smile as a good morning. "This is Ophiuchus. She's an.."

"Aries? Welcome!" I smile brightly. "It's always nice to have newcomers."

"No, she's an Ophiuchus." Cancer shakes her head and I can tell she's ashamed of what I just said.

I raise my eyebrows. The first Ophiuchus.

"Oh, uh, I apologize... So does that mean you'll be staying in the Aries House, or...?"

"Umm. Well, Pisces told me that I will be staying one day in each house, in order. Meaning my day with you is today."

"And you leave for Taurus in the morning, I see.. Well, anyways, welcome. I hope you are an Aries." I stand and give Cancer a half smile, but she knows that it means, 'why the hell did you make me embarrass myself? You couldn't have given me a forwarning!! Now this girl thinks I make assumptions, but it was what anyone would think when you bring someone to their House!'

I guess that's a lot to put on a half smile, but we're good communicaters.

"Okay, well, Ophiuchus, Leo will be with you same time tonorrow, six am, so you have a full day in Taurus. Enjoy your time in Aries. It's a wonderful House," she winks and pats her back, then gives a quick wave and exits.

"Aries are independent. Meaning we fight for ourselves, we survive alone, we trust nobody. Therefore, this class is defense. You will do anything and everything to make yourself stronger. Don't make friends. That's not how it works here."

She nods. "Understood, sir."

"Great. Now, go rest up. Each House has it's own hotel. Here's the key to your room," I hand her a keychain with a key and a card with the floor and door number written on it. She thanks me and leaves.

I sigh. This girl is gonna be put through the ringer.

Sagittarius POV

I walk into my office and flop onto the couch across from my desk and chair. I kick my feet up on the coffee table and sit back, exhaling with relief. My day has finally ended. No more testing, no more training, just relaxation.

"Knock knock!!" Libra calls. My door is open just an inch.

"Come in!" I say back. I see a grin form on her face as she comes in. She sits at my desk and spins in my chair. Her heel hits the desk.

"Ow," she mutters, cursing under her breath. I chuckle.

"Stupid," I say.

"Whatever!" She rolls her eyes and leans back in the chair, now facing me. "So, how many people got put into Sag?" She asks.

I take my feet off the table and set my coffee down, leaning my arms on my knees. "Three. Two boys and a girl,"

"Names?"

"Rihanna, Caleb, and Danny. What about you?"

"Three as well, but all girls. Bree, Gianna, and Wesley."

I nod. "Nice. So, do you know how many Aquarius got?"

"Umm, no. Why?"

I shrug.

"How come you didn't ask about Gemini, or Taurus? Why Aquarius?"

I shrug.

"Instinct?"

I shrug again.

"Oh my gosh! You like Aquarius."

"NO!" I say defensivily.

"Yes! Oh my gosh, I ship it SO hard!!!" She squeals, jumping out of the chair. She dances around, chanting, "You like Aquaaaarius!" Over and over again.

"Ughhh, Cookie!!! Shut up!"

I call Libra cookie. Everytime she starts a diet, she breaks it. Once, we were dieting together and I saw her trying to sneak a cookie. I tackled her and we chased each other around the house. I was trying to throw out the cookies and she was screaming saying she wouldn't do it again. I ended up dropping a cookie and smashing it, and later that night, she licked the crumbs off the floor. Hence, the adorable nickname.

"YOU LIKE AQUARIUS!!!!" She screams.

"OH MY COOKIE!!!!! SOMEONE'S GONNA HEAR YOU, SHUT UP!"

I hear a snicker. We both freeze in place. I then run to the door and open it. Scorpio is standing there with a smirk plastered across his face and his arms crossed. Libra covers her mouth and utters a simple, "Oops,"

I drag Scorpio by his ear and shove him on the couch. I then stare at him. He raises his hands. "Demon, please, don't kill me!" He jokes.

I clench my teeth. His smile goes away and is replaced by a straight face. "I'll keep my mouth shut," he says, standing up.

"You better, cause if you say a word, I will have your head cut off and fed to the lions." I say in a low voice.

"Fuck," he shuffles out of the room quickly.

"Damn girl! You got a stare that can kill."

I turn to her.

"I'm gonna go now.."

She runs out.

I sit back on the couch with a smile. Works everytime.
