Chapter II: A Sport and a Scheme

Capricorn prepared himself for the blow of the whistle, menacingly staring into Aries' eyes. They were prepared to both literally and figuratively go at each other's throats in a game of soccer. Gym was the only class that all twelve of the zodiacs had together, and therefore, it was their favorite. Today it was the fire and water signs versus the earth and air signs. Capricorn and Aries were strikers, so they were ready to face off for the ball.

"Now, I want a fair, clean game, ya hear?" the coach asked the two.

"Just shush and start it already," Aries growled.

The coach just gave him a look as if to say, Did you really just say that to me, boy? Aries mumbled an apology as Capricorn held back a laugh. Exhausted of dealing with these rowdy teens, the coach blew the whistle, starting the game, and jogged off the field.

Capricorn got to the ball first and passed it back to Virgo, knowing that she was a speed demon. Virgo got pumped up, and started sprinting and dribbling into the opponent's side of the field. She was quickly met by Scorpio, whom she dodged, and made her way to the net, which was guarded by Leo. She took her chance and shot, but it was blocked by Leo's hand. He punted the ball off to Aries, who caught it on the ground at mid-field. Aries got about one hundred feet before he tripped over something, or more precisely, someone.

"Hey, coach, no fair! He stuck his foot out!" Aries complained.

Gemini giggled like a maniac and took off with the ball as soon as he noticed that the coach didn't give a shit.

Libra, meanwhile, was watching the whole thing, still trying to understand the game. She wasn't very athletic, but she liked to be included in whatever her friends were doing, so she hollered at Gemini, letting him know she was open. He passed it to her, and she was about to pass it to Aquarius, when it was intercepted by Cancer.

"Ooh! Ooh! Cancer! Here! Please!" Pisces said, desperately trying to get his attention. Cancer gave in and passed it to her and she began dribbling towards the goal, where Taurus stood readily.

"Hey, Pisces, pass it to me!" Aquarius snickered.

"Okay!" Pisces said happily, and passed her the ball as her teammates shouted at her to stop.

Scorpio shook her head and hit her face with the palm of her hand. "God damnit, Pisces, she's on the wrong team!"

"Whoopsies," Pisces apologized and shrugged.

The game went on viciously between them with Sagittarius scoring the final goal, putting the two teams in a tie. The boys and girls split up to go to the locker rooms and change. After, they each went off to their final class of the day.

Capricorn and Scorpio had history class. They were working on a project on an important person from history, and they had chosen Genghis Khan because they thought his story was interesting. They talked as they worked, every now and then being interrupted by Leo whom was exaggeratedly bored with his partner. Leo himself felt a little left out, as Capricorn and Scorpio have been best friends since they were little, so he just wanted to be included in on the conversation.

Sagittarius was walking around the school, taking her good old time. She had asked the teacher to go to the bathroom, but actually just wanted to wander the halls for the last ten minutes of class. She figured that she would play a prank on one of her good friends, so she put a love letter from a "secret admirer" in Taurus' locker. She knew that it would bother him to no end, and that's why she did it. Cackling and evil laugh, she walked away, back to class.

The bell rang and Aries left his class, jogging up to the first zodiac he found, which happened to be Gemini.

"What are you doing after school today?" Aries asked as he opened his locker.

"Huh? Oh, I'm hanging out with Aquarius. You're welcome to come, if you'd like."

"Nah, that's fine. I'll let you guys make out in peace."

Gemini gave him a look of bewilderment and lightly punched him in the chest. "You're disgusting! She's my best friend, not my secret lover."

Aries held up his hands in surrender, "I know, I know. I'm just messing with you." He laughed.

Gemini snickered alongside him. "Whatever, man. You're gross"

Look who's back back back. Back again
-gain -gain.

Questions for you guys:

What do you think the love letter said? Who do you think Taurus will think it's from?

Do you think Aquarius and Gemini have a thing? What will they do when the hang out? 

Until next time,
