ZODIAC

Whats your name kid?

"whats your name kid?"
A voice spoke above me.
After the small test, I went to one of the public offices to work in. Yes we may have an anatomy-based and self-defense based education system but we still have other classes, I was currently writing a report on the espionage in world war one.
"hey *snapping* kid what's your name," said the man in front of me, followed by a light chuckle.
It was the guy I took by the shirt during the test.
How does one react in this situation?
"oh, sorry, jasmine" I held out my hand "and you are?"
He took my hand and shook it.
"Jackson, aries division, although I'm sure you already know that." he said looking deep in thought but quickly snapping out of it.
"so... What brought you here? Are you the one that the Gemini division keeps saying is 'too young to be a general'?" he asked, he seemed... Ecstatic? To meet me.
First of all, I didn't know that the Gemini division even cared about the aries division, much less about me and my age.
"well... I'm assuming yes... And I was raised here in zodiac. Are you new?" I inquired.
He looked a bit clammy but quickly regained his composer.
"yes actually, I was recruited to the army but since I was... Well. Gay, they gave me an option because they are terribly homophobic." he added with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood.
"that's terrible I'm sorry" I replied
" it's fine really" he quickly added
The room went silent for a second.
I started typing again.
"w-well it was nice meeting you jasmine," he said, breaking the awkward silence.
"anytime, Jackson." I said, smiling but still looking at my computer screen.
He smiled, took a breath and zoomed out. I couldn't help but chuckle at how vulnerable he is in this place... The Capricorn are gonna eat him alive.....
