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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda9bUNPJJJ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUWz6WQPX4
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlliPw39ZK
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb5PMU4yWM
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig2Bdis4ge
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbseOM40dlc
After living in this damp apartment for six months, she was finally free. She finally gathered enough money for this. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdp20x03z7
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYc37Dx8vM
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjzjavvGNd
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZvOpM4imp
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC24RiIcBY
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7fGsXTAE
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... 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvycNMYxBL
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtahGwlkUtb
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCx53OO6P9
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjizv0vwp7L
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiirQPwbp4M
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrijK45ghxE
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi326loeuV4
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2baxXxTCRq
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? 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk9ji2TqLP
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qo490QrKS
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGEB8MhmKK
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH2AYfDkT1
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtLZPbt1X0
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvbdye2iEl
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxibUAlwFfu
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5NtLQbkgt
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmGPp5CnSx
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93h3ik7AEc
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6shbbEaJfh
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS063TG0LM
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxzQaqpXbp
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3rxok2AE2
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhCXnWCXhU
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mYpxN81jf
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0aU0uqYea
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIfKxQhRK6
Ms. Venus nodded. "What's your name, dear?" she asked and started to check on her laptop. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQqGeu41z7
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjml7w75bn
"Gemini," she simply replied. The woman was no longer looking at her, so she could stop smiling for a second or two. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAuP5hQ2h7
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyddBXHfbx
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA038cFLF9
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHLwhdSU9a
"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." 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpbLDr4ESb
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTeXgS4Oa4
"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... 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf11Lo7e4y
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXwargF3Z3
"Oh, that contains your class and position," Ms. Venus answered, gesturing at the paper mindlessly. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68mPQ7RY9y
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVCmOmqpX3
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." 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArOrWJINPy
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhdDgJuQmF
That brought a smile to Gemini's face as she walked to her left. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNZtTyohLC
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfPevy2uwk
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? 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVGvYR27oV
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnXdVItXAN
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBphztaejiA
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOw9V0N15C
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGibUM6xKXK
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyodRDVidT5
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...960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r47TH25tD
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCKS8ZVDB
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zAiGeIbAK
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQyoOa3f5
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPz32Rv4s
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs7rK0IFDW
Gemini put the letter back in the envelope before looking at the keyroom. Her room was Room 666. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCgEeIZlnS
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Lmhazisj
'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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMV1zaH3BV
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNhphTgZ2d
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKW7pCjQMk
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp69TddRwDx
657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665...960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iONzzCE9m
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnRo3RjuQi
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjFxxlJwZx
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeggFfYxev
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G0t3LlNkb
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn9QiVFzrA
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE0FsvByY4
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcLuShA0hM

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. 

960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4DxfbUYz3
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHf9XmSXiK
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtiXWETgOx
"I'm Aquarius," a boy who seemed a bit older than her introduced himself. "We all already know each other here except you." 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrY82x3tRd
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElM3gW3mmz
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L4goNYkow
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdEWpfQgNn
"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." 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7073ct7Kt
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpuuwf0kFC
I'm so gonna struggle remembering their names, Gemini noted. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb99a9a5xn1
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDJK7zI0Y1
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnYZ7aabsA
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWTy11oqwc
"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." 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJI0YE39PZ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6i6ptXUrO
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pswY06SJB
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY8J44juIG
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? 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWGbIKdzK3
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbMxmnDCim
"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'. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimiNx5WxCj
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIHj1bTi9x
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXlF2NfxnK
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B3BjRs8A5
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejMm5QYBst
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3xLB5Jez
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL1hPFSOue
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1o0jSGuj5
Libra just chuckled in response. "Well, your brother was chosen to be the vice-captain, Pisces. You must feel proud for him," she commented. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5CO0n1v7C
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFHojfMgT
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? 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N5DjBJr42
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGw5Ygrcir
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08PdqoEz0p
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6XD2KJFyA
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3h6aP2x33
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmQMNNxDQR
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYSriHhj9
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwVrOokdYC
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6fDYDGwr3
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxh9lKc6a0

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