The School of Stars - A Zodiac Story

Zodiac Chapter 2

Capricorn's POV

When I first heard of the School of Stars, I didn't expect much. But BOY WAS I WRONG. The place was HUGE and grand, with pillars in the front that kind of reminded me of a Greek Temple... except... less ancient. However, you could tell that it was a school campus, it just gave a strange vibe...

I looked at my schedule on my phone... we had an assembly first. I groaned. I was a little claustrophobic... so yeah. I took my hoodie off and stuffed it in my bag. It was hard for me to do that, since my mother always insisted to keep something on my head... so no one would see my goat horns. But I was safe here. There were lots of other people with un-normal stuff. A girl had a fish tail and legs (well the fish tail was just poking out of her skirt through a hole that was obviously there for that purpose). I knew that this school was for "special people" but I didn't know it would be this great. There was a girl who looked very grand, with very pale skin... it was almost white, flying around on a grand chair. 

I knew that I wasn't the only knew one here... this school was new after all, except it didn't look like it was brand new. There was something strange about this place.

Why am I just standing here, lost in my thoughts? I'm gonna be late!

I walked into the school building, and oooh myyy gaawwwdd ... it seemed like a super grand private school where those posh people go and learn posh stuff... 

I stopped looking around and saw that there was a huge crowd of people. 

Kill me now.

I had no idea where to go at all... my eyes landed on a short girl hurrying pass the crowd with long, light-red colored hair twisted into two pigtails and bright blue eyes. I ran towards her, as she looked like she knew the way.

"Hey! Girl!"

I have never, ever, EVER, felt this embarrassed in my life.

I finally caught up with her and tapped her slightly. She tripped on her untied shoelace.

"I am sooo sorry." I was red with embarrassment, and part of me was taking a mental note to never do that again.

"No, no, it's fine, it's just I'm in a hurry..."

I put my hand out to help her up. She reached for it, and stood up slowly, but fell down again.

"Owww... that hurts... I think I twisted my ankle..."

I didn't really know what to do but say sorry a million times. Ugh, why do you not know what to do at the most important times! She's probably going to tell the whole school that you're an idiot. 

The girl started letting out blue magic from her hands, and aimed it at her hurt foot. The magic seemed very calming and satisfying to watch. What is wrong with me? Why am I finding her magic so cool when you have cool goat horns. Oh... that's why...

"There, all better!"

"Sorry, again... see you later... um... what's your name?"

"Oh yeah!" She smiled. "My name is Cancer."

"I'm Capricorn."

"Come with me! The assembly is starting soon!" She grabbed my wrist and started running. Sigh, this is going to be a chaotic day.
