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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ymyCsTCx
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm9KkFL1t1
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYAv96KOMM
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxpPdUcWWB
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyirxtb2AD
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD1lcSeRy6
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2nHkoxiV7
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqbVqZmr9
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGtO1jwZfF
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFmVEol0Hb
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KRzHGE5fn
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xoh8Tilxn
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... 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiwOU860o9
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZDzfNf7zm
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH4XpoMoA6
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflxXHt301S
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5f1qndVT9
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6j07kHgLb
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzKudp5Fyt
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmFB37A4Bf
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? 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2V9V7OQ1l
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdrTQdtDrq
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaWYDHcUzg
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRy3i1uA0R
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfTTTqDxOi
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NaO1YU0YK
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbMY6r7LZ7
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu6H3l0SJ5
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h7E4TK2Vv
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPEssTATfT
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMzOxdNNmE
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy6WBDgEvC
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.938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K0cntzvZa
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJorHIVxbwL
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGjQM8XwtL
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr31jTbc9V6
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1zzi5wiRb
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYN6Pgu6he
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRMjC7XS66
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1XXGE6t9L
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMynNySpjU
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJLydJGYgD
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayXceQePVA
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSF74egkVa
"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." 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKahABR9X9
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURG3ocA0JE
"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... 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriuumMcaro
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmJDUthpx
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1hHWHBhj
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd2MiS1Eg8
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." 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQWNxLQtE
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwY2B7xnM8
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7eZvbJy44
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ov3uLjV1c
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? 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJUr8EqVlk
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONw1l5eOMb
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75kPDMbcOF
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74XbYK0YN
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqVvFDxWBv
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl8cxZpcT8
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...938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho5zOFNdV9
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgafxGIdswK
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZVR21HXp
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTokpacNhxz
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMEBKGI7Kl
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G4Rv9y69r
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2s3e8Z9Bv
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAfebUn8Wi
'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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8L8CEeiFr
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJvMWibcJ
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVKB8ufGeR
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13CTNfwqfI
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEaJWNiSZh
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKkvDHVhj3
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHla4yLRuit
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ksPUATau
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDD7SI3tru
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7AQmP1k03
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfwX75e2SE
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEj0mkSnio

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. 

938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArHlwJAHip
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsMMF3evLW
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE7BBZploo
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7dV2C2mcW
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL6DtQjQ0j
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e2Yf9dwj8
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOcSD8Gyla
"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." 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nEhTcghiG
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBKfVC7X90
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBaDq9lThi
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zhYA2V2De
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq30Zi1hQm
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAfu5s6LqV
"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." 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtixILByMf8
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhAUXsh5uI
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodIo0jYF4x
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmt8YWZVF
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? 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRXq2wfbFG
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBqO1o8bQD
"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'. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvgQyUWC0A
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjARfBqpmIg
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsHFne0sD3
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe7Ev906AW
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgfISfTvjA
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr1U93J5tb
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoW9I4VyXp
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzSPRzwOfU
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQan1sqNy43
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfIdz9DlN1
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? 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHALQ88Nzi
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0jGifqhw2
"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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbQbeGgBq5
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa3j9bCHSf
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn61tKtZiK
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLGtU1zAkc
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6T7wjxF8j
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzdUQIFlQ3
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. 938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAG96mqgJF
938Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlae6KDjKe

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