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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ZqzNSVmK
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBi59iTndO
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqGMTqENDp
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ECAvj5p4l
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDS5AfOOJR
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQiS6a8Jj
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPZtAabxsP
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf86A3OtfMX
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tLuhJKiZE
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CgKVMBwKm
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ZmTUT46m
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwwXZTkdqS
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... 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWP0bLhL5B
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTRIiYNf7y
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnpPwXR7Bb
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXMbr3KWRc
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN1s356r9a
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcnzaDbWkl
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbsyRQ7s44
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPLodAa3x
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? 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFDuf2OmWn
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVph3SHJAn3
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5rsxlvMFN
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPBxu64Zf
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRzyYCAS4Q
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L1TIpxPPQ
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTmRIo8p91
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdSLQbElT9
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ybudR5fvZ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr11jPjB5w5
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FKVB3B4sV
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQyZgFSFY
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.926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpkLlafSgJ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6uCnDMZV3
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLgv2t6pm
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2zBb2JqRU
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9f07MJcTi
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiVd70tnOb
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9lwGBOMnO
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIneKC3Q1N1
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkXEDfKWGQ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFUdvK41Ia
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDegtcDyRy
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPniUta7y
"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." 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHKNuHpw5G
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgvHKOXuj0
"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... 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViDepvZBIT
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGwXp3yC4x
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB1T6wUDSV
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2mCJCvC5A
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." 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hjDtTj9Vk
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaD4AkK2Ef
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoAOeRPfJw
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA0Cr4pGs9
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? 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyYDtHZ4Yj
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7seKjQnCcn
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzCnfZWy6R
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavX7QAS2Mf
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FP9Sj9Ssn
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1eRvqrTtC
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...926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgETErUY3Dz
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxYytR4RBC
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQpPzFsx82
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN01yaqoYa
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2byhMYvMQ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQphnTHKhje
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbH1sfa4K5
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR7yMYF5rH
'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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaJcRBOlQi
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl594mcElRl
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLDSxROSH
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEJml9av07
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC53tOAzOS6
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTmN21bMcm
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfgSKb4yEd
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2UDCsBOgo
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu8gm9xMeR
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2Cgl1Ijg
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnrtCa4OSy
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx4GkXkBer

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. 

926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QlmLLffcK
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmKFEtaqaU
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaS4UgRGYl
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkONTbOJoQ
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjeX9Q5Rmh
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE04JUAwNd
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGrsdexZi
"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." 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPLELdBs6
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv8ZmzYKJP
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr9ODIkk3R
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrMKy4nk7i
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OGmezsqyA
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYkwmgFDtE
"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." 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRb3SHO6K
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nr44D8EMX
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxFloOgHCo
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LpNaOsdsI
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? 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H4Fp4qOZx
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHFuoIAvsL
"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'. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaWo7hKEhV
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TjdukBa7N
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82YpfNeVhb
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfBDB6gFgC
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu06NrJVm7N
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ6YjmMP7L
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz2ZB3Qf1W
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdXz04D51v
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYkcETHihN
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbomLw1BzrC
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? 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDx3rVwf3x
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wucvPLjjN
"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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw24lGoCII
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKjFBnO7Tj
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSwLpblP7S
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfOKiqwmmW
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljp6NBaepy
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsL6TyCueC
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. 926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgClFinOvhD
926Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23CR7T7xZW

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