Zodiacs' Academy

|14|

(We're skipping Capricorn's house and going straight to Aquarius, and then it'll be Pisces. Then you'll finally know what house she's in!)

Ophiuchus POV

I open my bag and take out my swimsuit. I walk into the bathroom. Girls are walking around in their bras and underwear, flaunting their torsos shamelessly. I roll my eyes.

I change and leave the room. I go to the pool, and see Aquarius yelling and instructing the boys. I cross my arms over my chest, not comfortable with how revealed I feel.

Five minutes later, the boys exit the pool and dry themselves out.

"Ladies!" Aquarius calls. Everyone runs over there. I do, as well. "So, we're gonna do three races. This is more to beat your own time, not others. The first round will be where you set your first score, second round is warm up, third round I wanna see you moving. Get in your lanes, please."

"Um, sir," a brunette calls from the back. "I'm having lady problems." Her tone suggests pride.

"Awesome, and you're telling me this why?"

"Respectfully, sir, for your information, this makes me unable to swim.."

"And, Victoria, for your information, I may be male, but I'm not inexperienced when it comes to the female body. You can swim, you'll be fine. Now if we're all done making excuses, I would appreciate seeing everyone in their lane. Let's go."

She scrunches her nose and rolls her eyes in annoyance, walking away.

I suppose each House has it's mean girls. It's a typical cliche that you can expect... Even in a famous academy.

We all get in our lanes and he blows the whistle. I dive in and swim like I never have before. I am the first one done.

"9.2 seconds! Excellent job, Ophiuchus!" He puts his hands together when all the girls finish.

I climb out with trembling and weak arms. I sit on the edge, my feet still in the pool, and pant. That was the fastest I have ever swam, and I'm exhausted.

"Second fastest record for the girls. Nice job, Ophiuchus!! I expect you to be an Aquarius."

* * * 2 hours later

We're finally allowed to leave. I leave to my hotel room and change. My hair is wavy and slightly messy but I'm too lazy to brush it.

I dress in shorts and a T-shirt, then go walking to a pizza place, because why not? Pizza is bomb.. especially pineapple ;)

I order my pizza and sit. I open it. Wowie, I got a whole pizza. For myself. Oh well!

I eat slowly and savor every bite, because I haven't eaten in four hours, and I'm starving especially since I pretty much did a hardcore workout. And suddenly, I spot Daniel and wave him over. He sighs and comes over.

"Hi, have a seat." I say.

He accepts my offer.

"Pizza?"

Once again, he accepts my offer and begins eating a slice, picking off the pineapple.

"Umm, look, about the other day..."

"Uh yeah, can we just forget about that?"

"Uhh... Sure... I guess.." I murmur, taking another bite. The tension is so thick, it could be cut with a knife. No, scratch that; probably a saw instead of a knife.

Pisces POV
"Grading day." Capricorn says with a groan.

I laugh, "Cheer up! You'll be fine." I hand him a cup of juice. "Sobriety is good now. That way, you won't be failing random people."

"They're not random, they're the annoying ones." He rolls his eyes and puts the cup on the table next to us.

I lie against the pillow and play music, and we begin grading.

Twenty minutes later, he pauses. I don't give him attention, instead I continue to grade.

"Do you ever wonder..." He looks deep in thought. "If dinosaurs are still real?

"Are you stupid?" I roll my eyes.

"SHUT UP. What if there's an island under the ocean that only dinosaurs have been to?"

"What's your problem?"

"You suck."

I roll my eyes and chuckle, then continue grading.

An hour or two later, we put aside our work and start a movie. I begin feeling tired so I close my aching eyes. A couple minutes later, I feel Capricorn bring his hand up to my hair and he slowly strokes.

"You're so beautiful... If only I could tell you how much I love you while you are awake." he whispers. I restrain from opening my eyes, and eventually, I fall asleep in his arms.
