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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hNCKNpfI0
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz8FlK9Bvv
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MU4IrQKbo
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcAuKkyz85
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfjPHpphm1
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnM1kLWJKt
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxg28hoqye
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmYJOq5dkF
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB7BIh886D
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFZo746jVn
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAexSl3x5I
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2QsglQwVt
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... 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A54frNYqk
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdlKNRFXmS
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIwveeEuKM
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDAc12436
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMG23iVfig
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI8sW57CeJ
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuAY43fS70
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lh6NNr6YI
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? 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JqvRgQVH7
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHcaNJ08NR
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx2b9WyXhZ
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBUjtrdsNR
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz983a6hMj
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijprJTAfmY
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33hiEyJd8C
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8JKQCjwia
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0YmcNXZg
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV3RpuHQC2
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHBhE4eGbo
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNyBDDpY3u
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.979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAvItxAtdw
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9NvRQQFoE
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGHivgtQuu
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbQwFlpBa
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE86PpOAazN
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoBLdK6dmB
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYYQ6sylN
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5E8kqCqQ9
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKkaUMh8kI
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gpJuh32pY
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjO4UGi2Vj
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynbhKRAIT8
"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." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV8qLyn1hk
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2CTMYK8Vi
"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... 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8J9A2FC6S
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2enFWMczI
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD7P0N6WUR
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6BfPECR1y
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." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pmZmOL5tI
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ii0GyZoT
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpfEW43g2a
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzOrBBrfkb
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? 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgGqcQQmtB
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFoNpVXNXs
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3MvApjh7G
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgx0j4Qj7G
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbACWGTpihh
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLifIDKnR1
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...979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ftVJkTwv
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Gxcbytjc
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwyAKWKVpT
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLZTHLReOu
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hRIN1lM3B
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSir0tNFDUa
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1k0bA8hC4
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SwyOxQgQS
'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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUymTGDy7De
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5UjJJ3Uuu
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB33WjI759
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMY6nGOfbP
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H1DbSqsbd
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttbChcIt91
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRsSOCaCZt
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYiXbnSUiN
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60PEeU842
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa0ZI63V9m
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQdIdK2yaj
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyScB9uRX4

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. 

979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBAkAw8sFP
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQR8A6O3i
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Xe09EMyY
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeOplmHOO7
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bay2VWuGU
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7sByZsPzq
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyXOWyw1Ol
"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." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvayefmQci
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ2JdyjqdY
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvH0yXv3Dp
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDxgUCqfd4
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAwspCQdcz
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJVuDk5mIv
"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." 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSOCl8OV2H
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw4xkQSWZ4
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521E3Uo5Db
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZelAEBg6Hk
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? 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTrFNawrYC
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv1Z932XkD
"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'. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXZnvM34oU
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QTLfgtRLZ
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DqZyncII3
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXl0o3X0uj
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QPwuGTGgD
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQmoyFBSYV
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqxb4HUJZS
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcse9xRIZs
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvidKUjUJH
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSL8pVOmiK
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? 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAyPx8UNo1
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwNN2wpdXy
"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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7WDST2Zso
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivNLPBn5H
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFAUbFQ23o
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yI6qO93B9
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF102blb7H
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwFWdMo9Nz
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. 979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDMOuEvpi3
979Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TTuWWdeJw

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