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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJOamwyfy8
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7rfV6kSCJ
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JZibUYCK7
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcpiI9OT54
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti0VSURKLu
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWsowGOCwu
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7VYP8xW4O
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHxUgJASae
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWthA9fYVyP
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmRnufOETA
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSPwuAlbXl
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh28PWHGfV
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... 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffqkfFCG2t
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsefEqsaQV5
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqVkAU4WEP
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwQOjeGNNE
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5MIk8PZQa
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIUhyz2lfS
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExXEVygtMt
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBVWfd1keU
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? 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZkpr3NZ5a
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUuou31HV3
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0FosVwKk0
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFQDnFYly
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOg7nK7zL1
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2J4odv8R
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWaxhvalS
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEVhr5zalF
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0kMe0LkUs
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqArh3xATx
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcirI9oGxU
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qNxYKcXT7
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.917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8iEavj6pf
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoK8L8q2sU
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdzG0EFadZ
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0PmTJPtd
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKSzSZiHQY
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcKIxDGpoq
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiwmgJcVRU
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpXwhkP0Z
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLO9ZerVr8
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKXuj8PGvB
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhXemMGLpk
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz3xIx6Bzk
"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." 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxRDAiPHQI
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LEeqp4w2
"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... 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV4caLF0kH
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXKsc05hUx
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMugbdeujG
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwpJg4EnXn
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." 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ7z2w7zM8
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYnUdVoG4l
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGXkwfTFme
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FLhYuRE85
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? 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832JKvaomw
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzaAbNhEuw
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD96CRkfoMs
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57EZS6NXVy
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdOCjFr0QY
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNfJKydpWX
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...917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqvP0Ov78i
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH12STvcfPG
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyQOX27K4L
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcmqi524Y0
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEyIBxcnIn
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmCvtFJuZ
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnfQuKWtdn
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhFZ0e0Tdn
'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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC8VEkMMW1
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd89uvx2IQM
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLhiraZPnT
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FI63bf4s
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uue9bhq7V
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdsFkXCtW
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtrBlDHwGd
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1kTNLzGxA
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH0ErJOhwx
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkOzz2lR4l
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFb2FX77WJ
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj9qormzEL

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. 

917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9iMiqciS
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPacbyyIuJ
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePSev6XSUI
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMilep3lXT7
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkHroP3jcM
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZrY0M3LU5
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PHzQiwFYU
"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." 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlZIemEzzN
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP3LAXUCgc
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8HJ5eUPy5
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1xVDqwu9D
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NAsbapMVK
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATI61amwmD
"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." 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eeKgKAval
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthalTBRqy8
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFMYBfkqbB
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8XtKylAxX
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? 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG0WKfpGyW
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjkxNLr9vG
"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'. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s4p7GjN0G
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGoXl9X3TZ
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRA6mL0HL
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s7Mf55E62
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBpsivbv23
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloqOFANQqp
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj8QGdN0F0
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oJFWjRhTh
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnSK3Ry886
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIbg8NPPl7
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? 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiwyhhSgLA
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA5H11dryx
"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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIuJWA3Fn9
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7p9k5yIn
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf2TjBSvsh
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRbJRRYp6h
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhWcApFd6
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG6LrrP34I
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. 917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZRK979sA
917Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HePgb6Eo3

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