The School of Stars - A Zodiac Story

Zodiac Chapter 8

??? POV

Cassiopeia and I were chatting when I felt a tap on my shoulder. A grand, beautiful girl stood behind me. I recognized her immediately. 

"Can I borrow my sister for a minute?" Andromeda asked me.

"Yeah sure, you could have her for as long as you want. I'm going to go catch up on homework," I told her. Then I turned to Cassiopeia. "See ya later, Cass!"

Cassiopeia smiled, and her white face turned to her sister. Then she floated away on her throne, and followed her sister's lead.

When I opened the door to my room, Carina was sat on her bed, scrolling through her phone.

"You can have this whole room to yourself, I'm headed to the library."

"Whatever, Carina. All you symbolize anyways is a frickin' keel." I rolled my eyes. Carina left sadly. Whatever.

That's when my phone started ringing. It was my parents, and they wanted to FaceTime me. I rolled my eyes again, and answered it.

"Have you become a Zodiac yet?"

"No, dad, we just started school. Jupiter hasn't chosen yet."

"If he doesn't, I'm going to march right over and tell that old bag to give my daughter a..."

"No, please! I don't want to be humiliated. And besides, I already have a plan."

"Then start doing the plan!" My mom was furious.

"I already started Phase One: Befriending the Favorites."

"Okay, good. Now finish up that plan soon."

"I can't," I pleaded, "it takes lots of time and trust."

"Fine. We'll give you time, but if you take too long, we'll do your father's plan." My mom reprimanded, with a stern look.

"Okay, bye!" I quickly hung up so that they wouldn't bother anymore. I confronted too many bitches today. I sighed. If they wanted fast, I had to speed things up.

I called my boyfriend over and told him to meet outside as fast as we could. It didn't matter if it was raining. 

When I ran outside, I saw him standing outside with an umbrella. I ran towards him, and was sheltered by his umbrella.

"Babe, I need to ask you something important."

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Can I join your group?"

He looked stunned. "Huh? You can't just..." but before he could continue, I kissed him.

"Please?" I said, trying to look innocent.

"Uh... I'll ask my friends, and see if they're okay with it."

"Thanks so much!" I had completed Phase Two.

"I have to go now. Bye Ophiuchus!"

"Bye, Gemini."
