Gemini immediately jumped from her bed when her glass-shattering alarm started to ring. Panicking, she quickly tried to find a way to shut it off. It would be easier if she didn't just wake up because her mind was still in the clouds, but that was the purpose of alarms. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQNW3wp11T
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRcmQAuVOH
She stretched, wondering whether she should take another five minutes before shaking her head like a dog to wake herself up some more. "I can't be late on my first day," was the reason she finally stood up and walked to shower. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn00Kq0VuuA
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBbMpaS2Ig
When she finally finished drying her purple hair and using her clothes, Gemini grabbed her bag that she had filled with books yesterday. She also brought the suitcase she got from her mum. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjVgwedA3Z
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OW6hhM4ZW
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjllqlX0tU
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup6DhKapjA
She walked the whole way down--the apartment didn't have a lift so she had to walk from the tenth floor to the first one. It was a good exercise, so she didn't mind that much. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVBgDZU9l9
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGuQQ5TCqb
"Finally free from the cage?" someone asked softly. Gemini turned around and saw the shorter girl. She had always considered the girl was her neighbour, but she never cared to know her name. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGQOsNBCN8
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5HJzEfMm0
Gemini put on a smile, though. "Yup! I'm finally going to Zodiacs," she said like it was her lifelong dream. In a way, it was, but still... 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uKz4IWrXK
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1edpKsZI
The pink-haired girl's eyes widened before clapping excitedly. "That's so cool! You're totally my new idol. I wish you luck!" she said, just as excitedly. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nsi5CZv8x
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYqc8z4KnX
"Thank you," Gemini said and her smile widened. She thought for a moment that her smile didn't seem fake. Am I finally turning normal? However, she just shook her head as if it was the weirdest idea ever and gave the girl a wave before walking away. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZQY9lo6DV
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtamckODEvA
Silently, the air sign walked towards her new school. Even though being a Zodiac wasn't what she really wanted, she then got reminded about how she hadn't even got a direction in life. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eAsStKwn2
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvvmg0gJT
Gemini never got interested in anything, so when her parents asked her what she wanted to be, she flat out said that she wanted to be a Zodiac. She didn't exactly regret it, because now, at least she had a point in life. But, when she thought about it carefully, how was she going to survive doing something she didn't really love? 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPKsXLpqV
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiY65tbRRi
And the fact that she could die while doing it just put more pressure on her. However, she couldn't back out because she promised her parents. And promises were an important thing back in her village. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPol7STPM0
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aniTboRUs
Getroix's name meant 'promise' or a promising land. Anyone could live there without anything bothering them--not a flood, not a famine, not an earthquake, nothing. However, as the catch, anyone who promised something to someone whilst they were standing on Getroix, had to fulfill it by the end of their life or else they would have to experience the worst thing ever throughout their death. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS1Tp7Cj7w
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAykPFi5h
Finally, the 5'1 feet tall girl arrived to her new school. She walked up the stairs silently, absorbing the beauty around her in her rare black eyes--black eyes exist in their world, real black eyes. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tgh2I1Tr5
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ81KpbmjC
"Twenty," she muttered under her breath. It was the amount of stairs she just stepped upon. Gemini had a habit of counting each stair as she went by. Somehow, she thought it made it seem quicker and less tiring. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlTiwHyu8V
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBLCyZpWeh
Either way, her right hand was tired. It had to lift the heavy suitcase as she walked up those stairs. Gemini shook her right hand and looked at it--it was red. So, she simply used her other hand to bring the suitcase. Easy. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnonKrZTzg
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oroKwh4yn
She decided to go to the frontdesk first and was greeted by an old lady which had short hair. "Good morning," the old lady greeted her.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gRlmAV65
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBEpK6UHIT
Gemini took a peak at her name tag. Ms. Venus, it said. "Good morning, Ms. Venus. I'm a new student and I'm wondering where I can get my room key and everything else," she greeted back with that award-winning smile. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLlomg99fp
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkunGmAkS2
She learned long ago that a smile always made everything better for other people. And if it was better for the others, then it was okay for her too, even if that meant she had to put on a thousand fake smiles. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXnUwDVjnz
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08rSRC1hUa
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHQu0W0eAN
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRE4Ib50y3
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH8FrMQKBt
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONmZoyg3lr
The Venus lady handed her a room key and an envelope. She had to stand up since Gemini was unfortunately too short to reach her. Her excuse was that the table was so tall. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqiJQZcohw
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLAM0mnDoI
"Your room number is written on the key and the dorms are that way," she said, pointing to Gemini's left. She was wearing a pair of white handkerchiefs and she kind of reminded Gemini of a flight attendant. "Just go up the lift. It's on the twelfth floor." 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoaucK5aHw
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2NnfYFd9J
"What's the paper for?" she asked, waving the mint blue envelope. Who knew I'd be invited to a wedding on her first day... 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkC8DtHuZA
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQCn98gHgq
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjpYD7y57u
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTmJNnOtDn
She nodded gratefully and said her 'thank you' before walking away. She swore she heard the frontdesk lady say something like, "If only people these days are that kind, world would be a better place." 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcQfF3BNnU
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpXX5zcF8x
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwipb16E76c
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXHXHy5EI8
Some people might think her actions were really pathetic and she was a two-faced person, but that wasn't what she was striving for. She just wanted to smile for other people and make them happy, even though she was not, because other people's happiness made her happy. That wasn't such a horrible action, was it? 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlJYRrYf8r
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRNxhYwwyj
However, that did cause a few troubles. You see, Gemini always had a hard time telling people about her emotions and everything. Even she herself didn't know about the reason behind her emotions most of the time. So, she just stuck to smiling and making other people happy because that was what she excel in. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8kV0WkzYu
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ6tPtebIS
The short girl clicked the 'up' button, waiting only a few moments before it opened. A few people came out of the lift before she got in the small box. She clicked '12' and decided to read the envelope containing her schedule. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dAmhvxdNJ
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sm9CJKtE5
First, she read about all the welcome stuff--you know, about how the school wished she will enjoy her school year and all that. After that, the letter stated that Gemini's classroom was 9D and she was the...981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFh52PfGCv
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZHsG6UQO
"Vice-captain?" she read aloud, not realizing the lift had opened. The doors were closing when she looked up and she quickly pushed the 'open' button before skipping out of the box. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwVw1AbrJH
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuBaTs0GiR
As she walked towards her room, her eyes were on the letter. There was no way that she was the vice-captain. "In and out, Gem. In and out," she mumbled when she remembered that she needed oxygen. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVZde8GjEI
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFF0z589GJ
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnEpQhblXG
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcNEw0dDz
'650-700' was written on an arrow and pointed to her right. She was grateful for the directions. You see, Gemini always had trouble remembering directions--she couldn't even remember which way to get out of the mall toilet and once nearly entered the male's toilet. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEGyv4IFPV
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpavUz0FepL
"Class is gonna start in half an hour," Gemini noted after checking her watch. That was enough time for her to put her bags in and everything else. She might even be able to make tea before going to class. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlyqH3S5rU
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP341ZEq3nV
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn7GhP3Rvg
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbcKw58kdw
"Here it is," she cheered quietly and opened the door with her room key. Once she heard a click, Gemini opened the door and took the key out before saving it safely in her pocket. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf6nprgGqA
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2OXyodVyu
She entered her new room. It was very clean and simple. There was a desk and a chair, a wardrobe, a bed, a nightstand equipped with a lamp, two windows and another room that she assumed was the bedroom. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgnRsMVYZ
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p6NbILSuK
She took off her shoes and put them neatly near the nightstand before laying down her suitcase next to the bed. Gemini knew that after this first class, she would have missions that would take traveling, so she doubted she needed to settle in at all. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq6LCrVUyG
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA36YLABOT

Gemini sat on her bed and laid her head on the headboard lazily. She smiled softly and looked out of the window. "I bet today will be an amazing day," she said to herself. "I'll just have to wait and see."

"You must be our other vice-captain!" a green-haired girl cheered from her seat when Gemini entered the room. The class was filled with twelve tables and chairs for the students, and one of each of those for the teacher. 

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2daUcE72HQ
Someone from behind clapped. "Hi, there! I'm Aries, the captain," he stated as he approached her and held out his hand. Gemini shook his hand and smiled. The captain didn't seem too bad. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrqWG3pv5C
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PTHvx4QrD
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Cw9Lvo7Z
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap2qlMONzc
Gemini raised an eyebrow. "Where'd you know each other from?" she asked. Did they have a secret meeting without me? was the first thought that came to her mind. What if's came afterwards. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dhBpRhlRe
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuqsUP2j9y
"We were childhood friends and went to the same elementary school. What about you, Gemini?" another person asked. "We know nothing about you, so please introduce yourself. I'm interested." 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkmjEeMfkF
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYbYAI4q8U
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTdvwktCNq
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfTlPaIkp4
"I," she started. "Well, I'm Gemini. I've lived for around two-hundred-and-fifteen moons. And I... Well, I guess that's all." She shrugged. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8TbC82X6m
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmlVugAdqw
"Aww, that's all?" the same person who asked her to introduce herself asked again. "Hm, what about your personality? How'd you describe yourself? I hope you aren't as quick-tempered as Aries. That'd be trouble." 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTdm0CN28
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ5D9e1TMS
Aries rolled his eyes. "Right. Well, I hope you aren't as emotional as Cancer who seems to be in her period 24/7," he shot back. Gemini noted that the other girl's name was Cancer. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3blIa3BIl
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXKkKNKBH2
They soon started bickering and Gemini was glad. She didn't want to have to describe her personality. Yeah, right, no thanks. The only thing she knew was what other people always said about her, which was this word 'kind', but if she said that to Cancer, wouldn't she be considered as arrogant for praising herself like that? 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYGjc0Aev
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt09h2KAvJ5
"I can't wait until our first mission," someone from another group in the class stated. She wore a name-tag that showed the name 'Libra'. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sVZPQUMjF
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6xpDm6RDr
This group seemed calmer than the one that greeted her. There were four people--two boys and two girls, and one of them oddly looked like Aquarius. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4kykfqp8b
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VdeBesg3
A guy nodded in response. "Me, too. I'll finally experience what it is like to be a real Zodiac," he said, agreeing to 'Libra'. Stars almost-literally appeared in his eyes when he talked about being a real Zodiac. His voice was very quiet that Gemini hardly heard what he was saying. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7JJVOYYsQ
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCk9V2vOrp
The Aquarius-female-clone finally got in the conversation. "Uh-uh. I can't believe you got picked to be the third-in-command, Libra! You're so amazing!" she praised Libra with a grin. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwNUFgFCe
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKWDmLG8v1
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIeROYQeSY
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1mHfDXAmD
The other girl's eyes got somewhat sad, but she hid it. That action caused Gemini's eyes to widen in surprise and wonder. Is this girl just like me, hiding my own self to make other people happy so much that I forgot who I was? 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPwiu0sGBj
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTbcWyDOai
"Yeah, he's amazing too," Pisces said half-heartedly, but no one else could see it besides Gemini, because a smile could hide so many things to the people who weren't used to hiding. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCHTrsO8ZM
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zfTasjLav
There was another group of people in the class, but Gemini didn't have time to see observe them. Their teacher, Ms. Lenate, had entered, so everyone scrambled to their seats, including Gemini. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH7ROAT7cO
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0IpiUcbJL
She walked over to her desk, head held high like a model. Once she reached it, she let her books fall to the desk loudly. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fzBan7n5D
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ396191nXfv
Ms. Lenate looked around the room as if she was searching for something before nodding at Aries. "Good morning, students. You've finally arrived at Zodiacs and I hope you will be happy here," she greeted. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77FrR4b0p
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY31PPKOBc

Yay, time to start fulfilling my so-called dream! Gemini thought with fake excitement, but as usual, kept her sweet smile on her face.
