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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ZeVZmB7F
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YoQnkGHZ
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJm8fv9Dok
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6aUZGr5IF
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKOyyla6bc
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyWBGpwQag
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAzvb7R1cZ
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KQX6O5J1U
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2tBUTjfme
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTmEJO9a4H
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4iVWvvLul
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkHfOK3gFX
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... 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGIXjVPvX9
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLz6Ttw3tv
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePcgzLaF9B
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRZHfFev0m
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuX22IGYUj
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQBBDeKQcN
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBSKRPTMjL
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UPbZ6afd3
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? 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm63LmAU6B
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHladCXbx2x
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kKRuS3rV8
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0veWFH2zu
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzps0zgeCVy
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V6DmXNMcX
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzQhna6iCc
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3P75rdH4L
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry4EIpNdqv
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduHJVE1eIB
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVV6IT3H3m
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC3QeNn6xW
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.956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dcROzrkjC
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Ot3PYDvB
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUi4lWK8vx
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjgbPo5O8n
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHiBCubrUn
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaniidMXti
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeo8VVDlZd
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3OaVzhiCN
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEol2PBn236
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeeleWvwt9
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhNonlkVwo
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm7h5h7qA5
"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." 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvHos4pEpb
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8v9TOly31
"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... 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpcmBI1N3g
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ybw378V7C
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvTDrO1kW2
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iEErmdz34
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." 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVA4lBWRR3
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXHD8Z3fCr
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtQZVU0CkP
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsc9tYp3pi
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? 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPk7czMfr
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8R0ZrnXp3
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjx9ZHBACt
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bhc4EX6iu
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew9IPZ4meP
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Leof7BQU4
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...956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztZ2OyPhFh
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEy3F7TSK
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWpVSc4OmD
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjO03GEMRQ
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDTJrGylyO
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIHDFzopOo
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKi9mLvFgo
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1iuph2XxR
'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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGkguEvjyR
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEInBIcvJGc
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc9tlHrcmY
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAxwLkem1h
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn3LzLK5ph
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmG7gWTUcR
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAZby96eIJ
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbu4JRGKKm
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCu8Xs31c2
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZD35iumm
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2YedDvYZI
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkkfyDSA3

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. 

956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGdSs6lawN
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlq4sep9I
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuauG5AWIWy
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvi5qezjtm
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq76hprdYsl
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8K3GAytxq
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG23l7uhiJ
"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." 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlY4ZdzULF
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqpqJYOkJ
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu941nSOhg
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DAx5m8j4
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznoL0uVxgq
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAF4kRiWcp
"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." 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPx5IOebeS
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n7lrXY6eM
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ggR6r3Na
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lIVBHaxkf
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? 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhrAdrJMQI
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RJwW5H5yU
"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'. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLgKbselh
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkckijyloL
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx5F0aL87r
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wd32Yg2Id
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQECly6TkzN
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyvP3wBfRt
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerWSloczQf
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp5RSZ85OM
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYEswP68CY
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmnuQGCY9n
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? 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhSaPC8IUT
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE3ST1O2Wu
"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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTwS9wtR1P
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXchhR0Iw8e
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfV9oJJGqv
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKyGYuqSCW
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIPkCq0UwB
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXXasS3Zmc
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. 956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbi2VjaZFl
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38AtsS2ToI

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