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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrIXKyzw1i
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKiqbYCj8P
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyh6Mq0lmr
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv6aSguCa0
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs8vjYGlAI
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgum9Lru7kb
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlHUJr1R1L
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHeLRRJ0Q
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWzdAgTbtC
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtVTeoxjfj
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4X63vWXoJ
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4btixluuYH
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... 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMomDMo2ChG
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDji8hZWkTH
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsGqQmrFMf
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwH4PDgvDz
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOywllUJvs
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHZMygLZpo
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m1xBMjche
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlttaHb69qt
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? 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvkcgYny57
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRhF1VzUbr
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77PC49AzA2
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmUbnmPqlb
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc0dmwlwCI
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQyi4HA5MU
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI4n3sb5yB
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMx7MuGaBf
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcpk2HwHeD
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow89x5sKqP
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE2yZ7PO5E
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0FbqjlysL
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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wmy2uuczD
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaW36raS12
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbyjpyW2d
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGZfWO5Icy
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJF9MGihC
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY817Ag8RWf
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0FYwAUf9A
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYVDK7Qybr
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsL5ogfNUI
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS823qqxFV
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OnJ6M6pRf
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoih8fEgy7
"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." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqswVFq8k4c
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kC8zk8lzx
"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... 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdn1P25iO
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKYBkIoGHV
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlGIqzrIch
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE2nNjl7ek
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." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIS5FJJeS0
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVSwIX0wEV
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe38wX9Yibm
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgAbwJsCP3
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? 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXUMoIW8Sb
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnxbURRrK2
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVUrHnoycD
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnamsMZ0YZ
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QWWTh71Ov
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIochVBDR2e
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...936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwPMCiTKRz
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoGYec5esy
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojFeSP7nU4
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vMP1qeZN
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Jq2FqshU
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn7yMDPqE6
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bUIOgOWG4
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuLbjcUqfm
'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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJES987dV68
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVyhesxmht
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJMQ8SbHyd
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17oEXniGgd
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVcARwdU8o
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHW7ntm8jc
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkvSKdhTCh
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXOTwHaPTc
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBvNA5IlKN
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRP3zBbinm
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzuNkE88VB
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPylpxTeH56

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. 

936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCHtXe4byW
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBPZnopymw
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnw2GgSjbZ
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVaWqJE8tl
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp2UR5hVzP
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG8rKB3DyQ
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfJLf5rCt
"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." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lqZVTgTE2
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXvAXuiDya
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawSp0x4N6s
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRMzNXw0Wy
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyKReV20HN
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaChp9HpC9
"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." 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEPSwN2gQd
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjM1RanHUk
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIku2jYw5Tx
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW7TB2lxDh
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? 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUztSsCYSQL
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TPPBWSf6d
"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'. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy53lhEHdkV
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAm26czsgV
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyLBhslVsr
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7fd1OWWB9
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JF9PkYMgX
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lfRvEVADj
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLixL2mJgrA
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJkn55iFhy
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtuVoRTt6B
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9dKAbeQmU
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? 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTBDBaCsG
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9HxFctl0B
"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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULFCRMGbKT
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztVZr3j271
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5w1d3cU5Z
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIL2Y6fkvs
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3ZjABOc8I
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1KO7AJp0P
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. 936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yxeyCIPsV
936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu3l8BafWi

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