Hey folks!  This story was requested by @-brucey , thanks for requesting!

Characters involved:  Sagittarius (m), Leo (f), Virgo (m), Aries (f), and Cancer (f).

Enjoy!

You're wrong, wrote Leo on the piece of paper, and passed it to Sagittarius.

You're just saying that because I'm right, he replied, sliding it across the desk.

Only in your diseased brain could something like that make sense. Leo pumped her mechanical pencil for more lead.

Only your diseased brain could take something as beautiful as my logic and call it "diseased". Sag was using a pen, but his handwriting was still a lot more messy than Leo's was.

Please tell me again how you managed to delude yourself into thinking you were capable of logic wrote Leo, bending her elbow in front as the teacher glanced their way.

It's simple, came the reply. Consider the straw. The cavity in the center of the straw is intentionally designed in this way for the purpose of drinking water so.. dammit, we're out of paper, do you have any extra?

Leo fished into her bag and pulled out another sheet of notepaper, but before giving it to Sag wrote a few lines. The purpose has nothing to do with it. We call the center of a donut a "hole", and straws and donuts are the same shape. The fact that the hole is meant to be there doesn't make it any less of a hole. Straws have one hole.

Straws don't have any holes. A hole implies missing matter, and there is no matter missing from the straw. It's a matter of functionality.

Functionality has nothing to do with it you frigging idiot— a shadow loomed over the paper. Leo looked up.

"Miss Maine," said the teacher, Ms. Gaile, looking down at Leo, "I didn't ask you to take notes on the video."

Leo covered the paper with her elbow. "You always tell us to take initiative."

"She's very studious in that way," added Sag. Shut up Sag, thought Leo.

The teacher sighed and took the paper. "See me after class, Leo. That goes for you too Sagittarius." The teacher walked back to her desk and started the video again.

"Look what you did," hissed Leo.

"I'm still right," whispered Sag.

After another minute, the bell rang, and Leo and Sag walked up to the teacher's desk. "Now," said Ms. Gaile, looking between them, "I believe we've had this conversation before about you two talking in class."

"We figured we'd rather be quiet about it and not disturb anyone this time, miss," said Sag, and Leo had to physically restrain herself from either... facepalming, high fiving him, or slapping him, she wasn't sure.

Ms Gaile chuckled, and wagged her finger at him. "Just because I laugh at your jokes doens't mean I won't give you a detention, Sagittarius." She sighed. "Alright, go to lunch, just know that if I catch either of you talking, texting, passing notes, tapping in morse code, using homing pigeons, or communicating in any way during the lesson you'll be in detetion for the rest of your lives." She gestured at the phones she'd confiscated earlier. "I'm keeping these until tomorrow, though."

"Yes Ms. Gaile," said Leo, grabbing her backpack and getting up to go to lunch. It could be worse.

"Oh, and Leo?" called Ms. Gaile, and the pair of them looked back. "You were right about the straw thing by the way."

"You've always my favorite teacher Ms. Gaile," grinned Leo, while Sag spluttered something incomprehensible.

Ms. Gaile looked down. "Okay now shoo." Leo and Sag walked out of the classroom.

"Now how is that fair?" complained Sag. "Teachers aren't supposed to have favorites."

"Yeah, but they are supposed to render impartial judgement," countered Leo.

"Are you bribing her with apples?"

"If I have I'm obviously not doing it very well," grumbled Leo. "Where'd you come up with the straw thing, anyways?"

Sag shrugged. "Virgo was talking about it."

"And he agrees with me, right?" asked Leo.

"No, he thinks straws have infinately many holes."

"I... how does that even make sense?" asked Leo, confused.

"Well like, if you divide them in half you get more holes I think?... ahh it sounded smart when he said it," shrugged Sag.

"You make everything sound dumb," teased Leo.

"It's only because I'm so genius you just can't understand anything I say," he countered.

"I'm glad you think that, good self esteem is especially important for morons."

"No wonder you have so much of it— wait, we're late for lunch aren't we?" asked Sag, looking around them empty hallways.

"Oh... yeah," agreed Leo, starting to walk down the hall. "Let's go."

***

"I don't know," shrugged Aries, shoveling some cafetiria meatloaf into her mouth. "Two?"

"Nope, infinately many," grinned Virgo.

"In what universe does that make sense?" asked Aries.

"This one," answered Virgo, holding up one of the cafetiria straws. "See, the straw in its current condition has one large hole down the center. However, if you cut it in half, you have produced a second hole without talking away from the molecules or arrangement. Cut the straw in half again, and you have four holes, and so on. We need to assume that every part of the straw has the potential for a hole, and go from there."

"That's kind of deep, actually," noted Cancer.

Aries stared. "You just made all that up off the top of your head, didn't you,"

"Yeah," admitted Virgo. "I have no idea what I'm talking about."

"I knew it!" exclaimed Sag, jumping to his feet.

Leo rolled her eyes and yanked him down. "Virgo being a doof doesn't make you any less wrong, you know."

"Good, because I was already 0% wrong to begin with and negative percentages would break math."

"You don't break math," said Leo. "It breaks you. You thinking you've broken math is just another indication of you having an IQ that is a negative number."

Cancer sighed and turned towards Aries. "Are we having the daily Leo and Sag tennis match again?"

Aries shushed her. "Shh, I want to listen."

"Okay, so now who's breaking math?" challenged Sagittarius. "Percents can't be negative but IQs can? How is that okay?"

Leo shrugged. "If you're too dumb to understand I'm not going to explain it to you."

"Hold on," frowned Sag, "You can't just say something that doesn't make sense and then use my confusion as evidence of my stupidity."

"Really? Because I think I just did."

"Really? Because I think I just called you out on it."

"Really? Because I think I just called you out on calling me out."

"Really? Because I think I just won the arguement."

"Really? Because I think I just... um... ...I was hoping I'd have an end for that scentence by the time I got there," admitted Leo.

Sag smirked, leaning back. "Clearly I am superior at convincingly argueing a point when I have no idea what I'm talking about."

"Yes I would imagine you have a lot of practice not knowing what you're talking about," nodded Leo.

"Well, I learned from the master," he shrugged and bowed to Leo. Suddenly, the bell rang.

"What?" Sag glanced up. "Lunch is over?"

"Yeah?" asked Cancer, throwing out her tray. "It's been twenty minutes?"

Leo stared at her full tray. "But we haven't eaten anything yet!"

Virgo rolled his eyes as he walked off. "Gee, I wonder why."

Sag looked around, trying to figure out what to do with his lunch, and he saw Leo stuffing her mashed potatos into her water bottle. That's genius, he thought. "That's disgusting," he said.

Leo rolled her eyes. "I'm hungry." She paused, glacing at Sag after swinging her bag onto her shoulder. "See you later?" They had the next class seperately.

"Yeah, see you," smiled Sag. Leo walked off. Once he was sure she was gone, he began putting forkfuls of mashed potatos into his water bottle, and ran off to class, getting there just before the bell rang.

It was english, which wasn't a terrible class, but it got kind of boring and he didn't really know anyone in the class. He sat somewhere in the middle of the room, eyes slowly drooping as Mr. Whatshisname went over five paragraph structure for something like the billionth time Sag had heard it since fourth grade.

If Leo was here, she'd have some kind of witty remark to make that would make him snort with laughter, and the conversation would gradually deteriorate into an arguement, a series of insults, and eventually a pair of detention slips. Sag reached for his phone to text Leo something insulting, but no, his phone was sitting on Ms. Gaile's desk. Right next to Leo's. Maybe they could develop some kind of ridiculously complicated ninja phone-stealing operation and grab it back. He'd be able to let her know all the details, if only he had his goddam phone. Maybe Ms Gaile was right about getting a pair of homing pigeons...

Class finally ended and when he got to his locker there was a post-it note stuck to the inside.

Physics class was really boring, made me think of you

-Leo

It took him about five seconds to realize that she was insulting him. Sag pulled out his own set of post-it notes and walked five feet to Leo's locker (she'd traded lockers with Libra to get one close to Sag) and stuck it inside with the message

In english they treated us like we were stupid and I nearly got nostalgic for our friendship before remembering that I kind of hate your guts

-Sag

He then ran off to physics (and this time he was late), and stared at the clock for a solid forty-five minutes. Only one more class in the day, history, and thank god this one was with Leo.

***

When Leo walked into class, someone had thoughtfully put a sign on her desk saying World's biggest idiot seat of honor. "Huh, I guess we're switching seats today," Leo mentioned to Sag, who's desk had a sign saying World's smartest smart person. Then, after looking around to make sure the teacher hadn't arrived yet, she pulled her lighter out of her pocket and lit the sign on fire.

Sag let out a noise like a dying chipmunk and fell of his chair, but other than that no one noticed except Pisces who didn't really seem to give a crap either way. Leo quickly smooshed the fire with her folder, and dumped the ash into her backpack just as the teacher came into the room.

"I was not expecting that," said Sag climbing back onto his chair.

"To be honest neither was I," admitted Leo, sitting down and swiping Sag's sign off his desk.

"Why do you even carry a lighter to school?"

"I don't, I just left it in my pants in the wash by mistake, and was pretty surprised to find it there during third period." She'd been sure the teachers were staring at her pocket all day, having lighters in school was definately not a thing you were allowed to do. But hey, it came in useful.

Mr. Dovan took one look at Leo's sign, and pointed to the corner of the room. "Go."

"I didn't do anything," Leo objected.

"I've told you not to sit next to Sagittarius," he said, sitting down at his desk. "Corner. Go." Glowering, Leo stormed over to the corner of the room, but not before Sag swiped her sign. It really sucked that Dovan kept doing this. She and Sag only had three classes together, and it was always a long time between lunch and history when they finally had another class together. It wasn't that she missed him or anything, she just missed him was all.

Well, being in the same room was different, thought Leo, as she and Sag made funny faces to each other all throughout class until Mr. Dovan finally lost it and made Leo face the wall so she made random shadow puppets instead and Sag occasionally threw paper at her.

The second the bell rang Leo walked over to Sag, took the sign back and taped it to her shirt. "Once again, all is right in the world."

"Well, it's marginally more fasionable than a kick me sign," he noted.

"Shut up it's fabulous," she said.

"School is over Leo and Sagittarius," said Mr. Dovan, pointing at the door.

"Alright, we get the message," said Leo, sticking her hands up, as the pair of them walked out of the room.

"Hey," said Sag, "See you tomorrow okay?" Sag took the bus home, so he had to leave quickly.

"Right, we can't text," remembered Leo, mentally cursing. "Alright, try not to explode the bus."

"Aw," pouted Sagittarius. "You take the fun out of everything. See you later," he said, raising his hand slightly in some kind of wave. Leo misinterpreted it as a high-five, tried to pull back at the last moment, and instead ended up brushing against Sag's hand, and naturally falling into it as their hands dropped.

Sag raised an eyebrow, and then grinned. "You're holding my hand, Chuck, you sly dog—"

"Don't you dare quote peanuts at me, that show is my childhood."

"You're blushing," smirked Sag.

"Am I?" asked Leo. "Wow, it must be my idiot allergy acting up again. We'd better stop holding hands before I pass out and die." Sag let go and ran his hand under the water fountain.

"See you later," he waved, and dashed down the hall.

Leo stared after him for a moment, and suddenly wanted to take the bus all the way to his house, and walk all the way back to hers. Which would have been a dumb idea, because she lived only half a mile from the school, and in the opposite direction from Sag's house. But the thought didn't go away.

She turned, and began the walk back to her house.

***

About an hour and a half later, Sag was done with his homework and staring at a wall. He paced around his room a bit. He couldn't believe he was actually looking forwards to going to school the next day.

***

Leo's homework didn't take her too long, less long than usual although there didn't seem to be any less of it. She picked up a book and started to read. What is it I usually do after my homework? Oh right, call Sag. Maybe she could borrow the house phone, she thought, before she remembered her mom was on a business call. That was alright, there was plenty of other things to do, reading, playing frisbee outside, playing mario kart on the xbox. And it wasn't that these things weren't fun, it was just a lot more fun when Sag was distracting her from reading with some dumb thing he was wrong about, when he was the one catching the frisbee and throwing it into a bush, and when he was the one Leo was knocking off a cliff in mario kart. That was alright. There were plenty of other things to do.

***

The next day Sag walked into school and found a post-it note on his locker saying;

Screw it, I'm not going to think of anything clever, you suck

-Leo

Unfortunately for Leo, she was still in the middle of writing the post-it note, and didn't see Sag until she stood up and looked around.

"Hi," said Sag, and read the note.

"Like it?" asked Leo, smirking. "It's an original composition."

"You should submit it to a writing competition," he said. Then, he took it off the locker and ripped it in half. "Oh wait, was that the original? That's a darn shame."

"Careful Sag, I still have my lighter on me," she threatened.

"Cool," said Sag, and hesitated. "Listen, are you doing anything after school? Yesterday was really boring and I feel like Ms. Gaile isn't going to give our phones back since we'll still be talking all class."

"Fair," acknowledged Leo. "What were you thinking of doing?"

Sag hesitated again. Do it. "There's this cool pancake place about a five minute walk from the school."

"Oh, cool, I thought you meant a water gun fight or something," said Leo, and then she stopped. "Wait, like, as friends...?"

"Yeah, yeah, of course," said Sag quickly, and Leo nodded, looking off a little. "See you in class?"

"Oh, yeah," nodded Leo, giving a half wave and starting to walk away.

Sag watched her go.

Coward.

"Wait! Leo!" Leo turned around and Sag ran up to her. "Except, no, that's a lie, I didn't mean as friends," he said, meeting her eyes. "Leo, I really like you, do you want to go out with me?"

"Oh," said Leo, and started to smile. "Yeah," she said.

It wasn't really clear who started it to either of them, except they were suddenly kissing in the middle of the hallway. It lasted maybe half a second before Sag and Leo simultaniously remembered where they were and pulled away quickly, stepping back.

It was too late. Half the hall was staring, including Ms. Redd, who sighed, and said "Leo and Sagittarius, you two should know that public displays of affection are against school rules."

"We're sorry miss," said Leo.

"I'm going to have to give you both a detention," she said, pulling out a pair of slips, and giving them each one, before walking off.

"Are we sorry?" Sag asked Leo once she was gone.

"Not really," she shrugged. "There goes our pancake plan."

"We'll have them after," said Sag, and grinned. "Our first date will be a detention."

"It will be so romantic," Leo agreed.

The warning bell rang. "See you in math?" asked Sag, starting towards his first period.

Leo grinned. "Not if I see you first."

"Fair enough," acknowledged Sag, before turning and walking away down the hall.

Thus endeth the story, hope it was cool.  Just want to say that if anyone ever requests a story between Aries (f) Cancer (f) and/or Virgo (m) it will be canon and take place in this universe because I really like this friend group for some reason.

Have a great day!
