2. Party
Virgo's POV
"I cannot believe him, Taur. Who does he think he is? This is a crisis and all of our lives are on the line," I say pacing back and forth. Taurus just sits at the table and eats chips. I shake my head and continued talking. "He's always doing this stuff. Partying. Not caring about anything in the world. How hard is it for him to take responsibility for once?" I throw my hands up in the air and let them drop at maximum speed. I stop pacing and turn my head to see Taurus. Still eating chips, paying no attention to me. "And can you stop crunching so loudly?!" I snapped. Taur slowly chewed and closed the bag and gave me a sorry look. I then sighed and walked up to him. "Now nobody believes me," I say laying my head on the table wrapping my arms around it.
"I believe you," he replied. I dat back up and smiled. Taurus is one of the few friends that has always had my back. I was going to say something back until the door swung open.
"Hey, Virgo," Pisces says walking in and sitting next to me.
"Hey, Pi. What are you doing here?" I ask. He looked hurt in a way or like I slapped him or something.
"What are you doing here?" he asks back. I look up at him in confusion. "You should go to Leo's party," he soon says.
I start to get mad again of the thought of Leo. Embarassing me in front of everyone and acting like it's nothing. "No," I say in my firmest voice. I could tell that made Pisces startled by the way he gulped.
"You know he has a good point," Taurus says looking for something to eat in the fridge.
"When did you even get up?" I say trying to change the subject.
Taurus was still in the fridge looking for God knows what. "Don't change the subject, V," he replies. Busted. "This is probably one of the best ideas you have ever made, my friend." Pisces stood up tall looking very confident.
"No, no, and NO!!! How is this a good plan at all?" I say almost growing impatient.
"Just think about it. If you go to the party you can show Leo you're not at all affected. You want him to think all of this is past you. Then once you do that-" Pisces was cut off by Taurus,
"-we can have sweet, sweet revenge! Mwahahahahahaha!!!" I laugh at Taurus' evil laugh and Pisces just rolled his eyes.
"No, Taur. That'll just start a war between the whole Fire Group. Plus V isn't much of a revenge person. It's not who she is."
I started to think deeply. Pi is right. Revenge is totally not me. But it wouldn't kill to not be me for the night. Right? I hear Pisces and Taurus go back and forth.
"Enough!" I say as the two boys look at me. "I'll go to the party."
Taurus and Pi smirked at each other. "Are you going to get revenge on him?" Taurus asked.
I was walking to my room, "What? No!" I say serious at first and then smirked at him. After I saw his eyes light up and Pisces' dim, I walk in my room and closed the door to put my party outfit on. I'm going to make Leo beg.
I finished changing into my clothes. (Outfit is the picture above the title.) I like it. It's not too flashy and I obviously have enough comfortable space to dance which is exactly how I like it. Taurus and Pi start to escort me to Leo's and in the car we sang nonstop with the music blasting with me in the passenger, Taur in the back, and Pi driving. I have to say I love these goofballs to death. I'm actually proud of myself for going to a party given I haven't really been to one in a long time.
"We should get drunk!" Taur says looking excited like a kid who sees a lot of candy.
I scoffed and laughed, "You guys can get drunk. I'll drive us home."
"You down for it, Pi?" Taur asks Pisces who was pulling up to Leo's house.
"Sure, what the heck!"
I giggled. Pisces is a really emotional drinker. He's probably gonna cry our ears off and vent about something that happened years ago. And Taurus is a funny drunk. I don't think he means to be funny, but everything he does when he's drunk is the funniest thing ever. I, on the other hand, didn't want to drink. I want to remember this night for the surprise I'm going to pull. Plus, I don't think I could get drunk knowing that I'm at Leo's house. I don't believe he'll take advantage of me, but he'll probably get me to say things I don't ever want to let out. Taurus hops out the car first, then Pisces, and then me.
As we were walking we saw Sagittarius talking to some old woman. Probably conning again. I have to say I really like Sagi even though I believe what she's doing is wrong. She's always been so humble about it, and that's saying a lot because the girl will talk about almost anything. I see her trying to keep the conversation going with the old woman. Another thing I like about her: she's so social and outgoing. I see her smile and the old woman pulls out her wallet and we know exactly how it goes from there. Poor lady.
Pisces knocks on the door and we wait for somebody to open it. It seemed really quiet from out here. I couldn't hear a single beat of music. All of the sudden Sagi runs up past us saying hi to all of us and we did the same back.
"Are you guys rethinking of going inside?" she asks pulling back her hair behind her right ear.
"No we're just waiting for someone to open the door," Taurus replied back.
Sagi looked at him and laughed which made his face go red. "Leo's door is always open when there's a party," she said opening the door for us.
The music was blasting I feel like I could've gone deaf in this earthquake. I flinch at the sound. Sagi runs inside maybe looking for her friends or something to eat in the kitchen. Taur, Pisces, and I walk in the door at the same time and shut the door behind us.
I look around and... a lot of people are here. Most that aren't even in our zodiac group. His house was very huge and there were pretty neon signs and lights everywhere. Neon is the best kind of art that was ever created. Everything was just so... partyish.
I see Leo and he walked up to me almost choking on his drink in a red cup. "I didn't know you was gonna come," he said tapping the cup with his pointer finger. I saw him and he had a regular black tee and regular dark colored jeans with black Nikes. His hair was really messy underneath the cap he's always wearing.
"Yeah, I didn't know I was coming either," I replied forcing a smile. I'm really good at faking a smile, so of course this idiot fell for it.
Taurus walks up from behind Leo. "Where's all the good food?" he asks impatiently.
"When did you leave us?" I say looking at Pisces who shrugged.
"I smelled food," Taur replied with. "Where's the good food?" he asked again.
Leo put his hand on his shoulder and speaks, "I got the good food especially for you, buddy. 2nd cabniet to the right. Oh, and upstairs in my room theres a mini fridge specifically for your stuff."
Taurus' eyes lit up and bro-hugged Leo with the both of them smiling. Taurus left and Gem came over by the three of us now and started talking about who knows what. I tried to pay attention, but the music was so loud. I guess he has soundproof walls since I couldn't hear a thing outside. Gem grabbed Pisces' hand and he looked at me with an apologetic smile. I wasn't even sad or anything though because I know he's liked Gemini for almost 3 months now. Of course, he's been scared to tell her that. I look over at him taking a cup Gem made for him.
"Well," Leo begins. I looked back at him and see him drinking more of his drink. "Wanna dance?"
I rolled my eyes, "You're drinking, Leo."
He crossed his heart with his other hand acting dramatically hurt and said, "It's just water, Mom."
I grabbed the cup and took a sip with no hesitation. He was right, it was water. I gave it back to him, "Okay, now I believe you. But yeah I would love to dance," I see his eyes lighting up of pure excitement. "Cap!" I say motioning Capricorn to come my way. He comes to me and I look Leo in the eyes and ask, "would you like to dance?" I smirked seeing the shock on Leo's face. Capricorn and I lock arms and walk to the dance floor. I could feel Leo not looking back and thinking to find some other girl to dance with. Does he really think I'm that easy? All he likes to do is annoy me. He said so himself. I can tolerate annoyance, but i cannot tolerate Leo.
"I love this song!" I hear Cancer screaming from the top of her lungs. She was with Gem, Aqua, and Pisces.
"I forget how perky she is sometimes," Cap says to me.
I punch his shoulder, "Hey! Be nice! She's really nice." Cap smiled and rolled his eyes, "Yeah, and really annoying."
I didn't say anything after. Even if I felt the same I wouldn't have said it out loud. But I know he likes Cancer as much as I do which is why I never have a problem with him saying these things.
Cap always act like he doesn't care about anybody, but will kill anyone if they act the same with his friends. He's really the sophisticated type and hates drama as much as me and Libra.
Speaking of Libra, she comes and walks by us. "Hey, guys!" she says with a red cup in her hand.
"Hey, Lib," Cap and I say at the same time.
"Ooh! Are we dancing? I absolutely love this song! C'mon, Cap!" she says taking Capricorn away from me. Well! That happened! I thought to myself.
I left the dance floor to go in the kitchen to see Aries making out with some brunette haired girl. I didn't mind it and went passed them to get soda or something. I found the Coke and closed the door only to find Aquarius standing right there. I dropped the soda bottle and the top flew off making the soda spill everywhere.
"Aw shoot!" I say making sure if my outfit was still great.
"I am so so sorry, V!" I hear Aqua say getting paper towels and bending to the floor to dab my shoes.
"I-it's okay, Aqua, you didn't mean to."
Aqua was still trying to get the brown liquid from my shoes and she had an apologetic look on her face without looking back up at me.
Just great. These were my favorite shoes. It could've been worse. It could've been alcohol. She got back up and threw the paper towels away.
"I'll buy you new shoes, V," she says still feeling sorry. I hated that. She didn't have to be sorry it wasn't her fault.
I smiled, "It's okay, Aqua, really." I was being genuine. It really was okay. But I know Aqua, and I know she would still buy me new shoes just to conceal her own guilt which I don't really have a problem with.
"Let's go to the bathroom," she says grabbing my arm and leading the way.
Aqua and I went to the bathroom and told me to take my shoes off so I did just that. "You're 19 and your feet are still so small," she says to me.
I rolled my eyes and smiled. All the girls wear a size 8 or 9 while I'm still the only one who wears a 6.5. I can't help it that my feet won't grow. I see her soaking my shoes in water and uses her air powers to cool the water so that it wasnt freezing but has just enough lack of heat.
"What are you doing?" I asked looking at my wet shoes.
"Cold water gets out stains. Well it has to be a fresh stain, but if this doesn't work I'll certainly buy you some new shoes." I nodded as if I was impressed she knows these things, which I am. I looked in the mirror and saw her face getting paler. "Is it true? The Ophiuchus thing?" she asked now turning to look at me and me looking at her.
I see how scared she is. I'm about 98% certain it's true, but now that I see how scared she looks, I don't want her to worry about it. I faked a smile that I was always good at. "No, it's not true. Leo was right. It's just a myth."
Aqua's face started to get more color and she replies with, "Thank God," she leans on the sink where my shoes were at, "you almost had me worried there for a second. You wanna go back to the party and dance? Oh, right! Your drink! I'll make you something to drink." She runs out the bathroom and I let my fake smile fade. What have I done?
