Zodiac High

Chapter 20

Everyone was sitting in the classroom. Scorpio came, thinking to sit near Capricorn but Virgo already sat there.
"Did you wanted to sit here? ", Virgo asked.
"No", he sighed and went to search for a nice seat.
Gemini and Sagittarius sat together.
Pisces and Taurus, Aries and Cancer, Leo and Libra but Aquarius alone. Scorpio went to sit down next to her.
Aquarius saw him, "Hi, what's up? "
He looked at Leo, seemed like he was annoying Libra.
"Did you prepare well for exam? ", Aqua continued.
"Somewhat", he answered.
"Oh! Don't tell to the teacher that I am gonna cheat ", she showed him her best innocent eyes.
"Okay"
She smiled at him but he looked cold.

The teacher entered, "How come you all sitting with your besties, huh? "
"Let me change your seats", the teacher gave an evil smirk.
Capricorn with Aquarius.
"Aw, how badluck! Now I can't cheat"
Virgo with Sagittarius.
"Virgo, will you help me show the answers? "
"No way"
Cancer with Gemini.
"Ew, why Cancer? "
Aries with Taurus.
"Ugh, he's a gross, teacher"
"Shut up, Aries "
Leo and Scorpio.
Both turned away and took their seat.
"Pisces, you have a seat alone. And Libra, sit at the last row ", the teacher gave a pitiful smile at her but actually in a teasing way.

After the exam....
"What a shitty question paper has come! ", Aries said.
"I wrote most of the things ", Gemini smilingly said.
"Heh, really! ", Sagittarius said in a sarcastic tone. Aries shook his head and grinned.
"Virgo, Capricorn and Leo often get good results ", Aquarius said.
"You too, Aquarius ", Sagittarius said.
"Eh me! Who said? "
"Those people are hardworking ones and I usually find Leo determined. He has potential ", Aries said.
"You deserve an applause, Aries", Aquarius said.
"Why? ", did not get her.

"I'm so worried. I don't even know how well I did ", Libra said to Pisces.
"That's ok, mine is worse either"
"No way, mine is worse"
"Not a competition of who did worse", Leo said.
"I think both of you did better than many", he said.

Capricorn went near Scorpio, "How did you do, guy? "
"Um, fine "
"Hmmm, mine is fine too"
"Any expectations? ", Cappy asked.
"Nah "

"Exams are stressful ", Sagittarius said.
"Who said it? Exams are really beneficial. ", Virgo said.
"Heh, in what way? ", he asked.
"They make us learn and let us know about......(bla bla bla) "
"Stop giving lectures. Why do you speak so much? ", Sagittarius putting fingers in his ears.
"Uggggghhhhh, vomiting knowledge", Aquarius said.

"Do you know that our Principal has announced a football match for the boys?", Gemini said.
"Where did you get the information? ", Libra asked.
"I heard from Lily and Amelia"
"Amelia is good at leadership and friendly", Aquarius said.
"Really? I found her a bit rude too, especially with the boys"
"Good challenge for boys actually. But Lily is very popular"
"Not as much as I am "

In the evening....
Libra wanted a help from Leo and went towards the boy's dorm. Scorpio was walking around the garden. They collided with each other. No one dared to speak anything before the other. Both decided to part their ways and went to different directions.
Scorpio stopped and looked behind. He saw Libra standing still and checking on her phone.
She called Leo, "I'm here. Come outside ", kept the phone.
Leo came out and they talked while Scorpio sat on the bench alone.

"Why don't you come inside? ", Leo asked.
"No, I'm okay here. It's just few minutes ", she replied.
After discussing she turned back to Scorpio who was still sitting there. She decided just to go to her dorm. He stood up and started walking towards the door. Suddenly Libra saw a snake crawling towards Scorpio.
"Scorpio, careful! There's a snake"
He saw the snake and accidentally tripped and fell upon her.

"T-There wass a s-snake", he said.
She widened her eyes and both got up. Both jumped here and there with the fear of it.
"Scorpio!!!", she screamed.
"Ugh! Don't shout"
She caught him tightly with fear.
"Save me! Save me! ", she hid her face under his shirt.
"The snake is gone. It wasn't that big"
"A snake is a snake doesn't matter big or small "
He sighed with annoyance.
"Libra, the snake is not here anymore "

She sneakingly seek out and didn't see the snake anymore. She sighed in relief.
"Feww! "
"Now you can leave my shirt", he grabbed her wrist, pushing her away.
"That made me hurt", she said by touching her wrist.
"You should be "
He went.
She frowned.
'I'm still scared if the snake is here'
She ran for her dorm.
