Capricorn's POV

*Flashback*

Bang!

"Don't fucking look at my girlfriend again. I don't want you to look at her. Think about her. Don't even fucking talk about her. If I catch you again doing any of those things, I promise you, Crappycorn, I will fuck you up!"

Liam had a stern finger close to my face, I felt crossed-eyed just looking at it. His other hand was grabbing my shirt letting my whole body press to a locker. I fucking hate high school. Liam was looking at me up and down, and I could feel an anxiety attack rushing over me. He smirked at me and bit his lip as he walked away from me, leaving my tense body against the locker. My head was still kind of spinning from the hit and force from when he threw me here. Next thing you know, Liam and his group of friends were leaving. I see his girlfriend look at me with a worried look and walked away from me too.

When they all left, I finally pinned myself away from the lockers. That Liam guy made me so mad. Everything about him wanted me to just fight back. I tried that once, and nothing went as planned. I learned my lesson the first time.

"Are you okay?" I heard a girl's voice hovering over me.

I turned around to see her. She had blonde hair and lightish brown eyes. I remember her. She's one of the cheerleaders here.

I rubbed the back of my head trying to feel if I had a knot somewhere. Luckily, I didn't. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," I say frustrated.

I started to walk away and leave the school. I just wanted to go home. Forever. I was tired of this fucking hell. The fucking jocks and cheerleaders and the populars were all shit. Every single one of them.

I saw the girl running up to me as I was still walking. Fuck school. Why can't I just be homeschooled or something?

"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked me again. "I saw what happened. That didn't look too pretty."

My vision blurred out for a second. I got really mad. I turned to her quickly. "You saw what happened?" I asked clenching my jaw.

She just nodded. She was much shorter than I was, and I could see now that her blonde hair wasn't natural. I saw brown roots peeking through. Everything about the populars are fucking fake.

I clicked my tounge. "Hmm, so you saw what happened and decided not to do anything? Yeah, thanks for asking. I'm fucking great. Bye." I started to turn away from her now and walked closer to the school door. I felt my back pocket for my keys and found them there. Nobody was out here, luckily for me.

"Wait!" the girl asked me running up to me again. At this point, I wasn't even mad anymore. I just felt so stupid. It just made me frustrated, disappointed, and even heartbroken. Why the hell was I so stupid?

I ignored the girl, but she decided to speak again anyway. "Why was Liam mad at you?" she asked me.

Don't get me wrong. Liam isn't really one to bully. Of course, he had a reason to be mad at me. The first time we went at it, it was because a rumor sparked. This time, he had a real reason. I didn't know why he was mad at me and not Claire, his girlfriend. Just thinking about the situation makes me mad again.

I ignored the girl again. I knew she was friends with Claire. Probably even friends with Liam too. I found my truck and started to walk up to it.

"Can you answer me!" the girl yelled.

"Why do you want to know?" I yelled out turning to her.

She looked both ways to see if anybody was outside with us. I didn't even bother checking again. Like I said, at this point, I did not care.

She sighed. "Because I just feel bad."

I cocked my head at her. Feel bad my ass. I unlocked my truck door. I started to think for a while. She's obviously going to tell everybody eventually. Maybe even Claire would tell people eventually. Claire might even try to play innocent when she does. The thought of her makes me even more broken.

I exhaled a large breath. "You know Claire, right?" I asked her focusing on her brown roots. She nodded at my question. "Claire is cheating on Liam with me."

I saw her eyes widen. I looked straight at my shoes to not keep any eye contact with her. Why the hell was I telling her this? I don't know or even trust her. I decided to go on amyway.

"I don't know how Liam suspected it the first time. This time, he found out himself. If you haven't noticed Claire has a hickey on her neck. Little did I know, Liam doesn't leave those," I started to get frustrated again.

Claire and I were both in the wrong. Claire did nothing when my head was to the locker. She did absolutely nothing trying to cover her neck up. I admit, Liam deserves to be mad at me, but Claire told me she would break up with him. I should've fucking waited until that time came. She told me she even loved me. And I loved-- love her. My first love, first kiss, first time. She was my first everything. Now that I see it, she did all this because she just had to keep a good cover. Being cheerleader with the great jock boyfriend. That just looks great on paper, right?

I saw the girl look very mad. She probably thought I was lying, but I didn't fucking care. Her face turned to a bright red, and she looked like she wanted to kill.

"That fucking whore!" she whisper screamed still staring daggers at me.

I gave a confused look. "What?"

She shook her head. I didn't know if she was gonna cry or throw something. "Claire. I liked Liam first. She dated him knowing that I did, but I forgave her because that's how friendships worked, right? You never let a boy seperate you amd your best friend. Except Liam and I were great friends since middle school along with Claire. He and I don't even talk anymore. And now that I see it, she took Liam away from me just so she can have another boy toy," she says gesturing a hand to me as the "boy toy".

I was kind of offended but didn't show it. I was still kind of confused. Claire took her crush, most imoortantly her best friend, just to go and mess with other people's minds. That made me heartbroken even more. Mad. Sad. I don't even know anymore.

She was quiet and puffed her cheeks. Her face turned the normal color she was. I could tell how much she wanted to throw things. Probably as much as I did. She shook her thoughts out.

"I do feel really bad for not saying anything earlier," she says looking at me with innocent eyes.

I forgot how mad that made me, but knowing how she felt about Liam and Claire made me realize I didn't have to be so hard on her. She's just as heartbroken as I was.

I didn't realize I was being quiet. She started to speak again. "I'm trying this new thing where I try to handle things with people. Try to make them better. Make peace, y'know?" she said trying to sound understanding.

I nodded. "I understand that."

We just stood there quietly. I wanted to start leaving and go home, but something was telling me not to. That compulsive voice in my head obeyed. I started jingling my keys and locked the truck.

"Capricorn," I say holding my empty hand out.

She looked at my hand as if there was dirt on it. I looked at it, and they were fine. She was probably reconsidering on meeting me in the first place.

Wrong. She smiled at me and took my hand. "Libra," she says shaking it.

Libra. The girl who changed my life forever.

*End of Flashback*

"LEO, TAKE IT DOWN NOW," Virgo screamed at the top of her lungs.

Leo rolled his eyes. Aries was covered in flour, so the whole living room was a mess.Virgo was sitting on the stairs holding Aries' arm trying to calm him down. Cancer came out with wet towels while Aqua came with the broom and mop.

"I will seriously kill you, Leo," Aries says facing away from Virgo now. Leo just started laughing, and Aries was about to walk up to him until Virgo grabbed his arm again.

"Hey, hey. Focus," Virgo started saying to Aries who was now looking at her.

Cancer walked up to Aries and Virgo with the wet towels. "Here you go," she said passing them to Virgo.

Virgo takes then and started to wipe off Aries' face. It made Leo roll his eyes again.

"Disgusting," Leo said gagging. "I'm seriously going to throw up!"

Virgo stopped cleaning Aries' face and looked at Leo. "Why are you pranking this early in the morning?"

Leo furrowed his brows at her. "It's past 2. And plus, it was fun," he says shrugging.

Virgo just rolled her eyes and went back to cleaning Aries' face. Aries smirked at her, probably liking the feeling of a girl touching him. He looked at Leo who was watching them, still smirking.

"Hey, over here," Virgo says bringing Aries' face back to her. She continued to finish cleaning him.

Leo gagged again. "Someone shoot me," he says throwing frustrating hands up in the air.

"Take down all of your traps, Leo," Virgo says not looking away from cleaning the smug Aries.

Leo scoffed. "Can't Aries just take a shower?" he asked, growing tired of Virgo cleaning him.

Virgo nodded her head. "That'll just mess up the drain. Traps. Down. Now," she demanded.

Leo started to walk to one of his traps to take down. "He could just wipe his face by himself," he mumbled under his breath.

I'm pretty sure Virgo didn't hear it or either ignored it. Aries was still smirking and looking down at Virgo who went down to wipe the flour off his neck.

"Jealous?" Aries asked Leo but still looking down at Virgo.

Aqua was sweeping the flour from the floor while Cancer was mopping it behind her. Leo almost tripped because of Cancer.

He turned to look at Aries who wasn't looking at him back. "No, I'm not jealous. Just saying that I have a weak stomach, and this is all gonna make me barf."

Aries chuckled a little bit. His face, neck, and arms were clean. Only his hair, clothes, and shoes were still covered with white.

"Put the clothes in the washing machine, and put your shoes outside in the back," Virgo demanded Aries.

Aries just smirked at her still and winked leaving. That made Virgo roll her eyes and stand up from sitting on the stairs.

Leo was unleashing all of his traps and pranks. Luckily, there were only three. Four, if you wanted to count Aries' flour incident.

Aqua and Cancer finished cleaning the floor, so it looked squeaky clean. I jumped up from the couch and stretched my arms. Aqua and I were in the middle of sending invitations until Leo and Virgo first got here. Virgo helped us with sending them all while Leo was doing his thing. We didn't know he was going to set pranks until Aries was covered in flour.

"Where's everyone else?" I ask popping my knuckles.

Aqua came to sit down on the couch behind me. "Libra and Gem are still out looking for decorations. Scorpio and Sag are probably still looking for the horror movies. And Pisces and Taur should've been here by now," Aqua says checking her phone. I'm guessing she was looking through her messages with Taur.

"Well, we need Libra and Gem to be here to set up the candies and stuff," Leo says walking back in the living room. Virgo nodded in agreement.

"Can you guys start on carving the pumpkins?" I asked sitting back down and looking at Cancer.

She nodded her head. "We bought twelve for all twelve of us. Aries wanted to wait until everyone gets here. Specifically Sag and Gem," she says rolling her eyes.

Leo sat down on the couch with me and Aqua. He looked like he was lost. I decided not to say anything.

Aries came from upstairs with no shirt, gym shorts, and socks. His hair was still white and messy. "Where's my shampoo?" he asked looking at Leo.

Leo froze for a second. "Oh, yeah! About that..." he exhaled a short breath, "I used it all."

Aries rolled his eyes. He obviously wasn't even surprised. He looked at me this time. "Do you have shampoo?" he asked me.

I felt uncomfortable even looking at him this way. Could he not put a shirt on?

"You're not using mine," I say trying to distract myself with my phone. "Use Pisces' or whatever."

He shook his head then ran back upstairs. Cancer came to sit on the couch with Aqua, Leo, and me. I could see her watching him as he went upstairs.

I slouched down on the couch and saw Virgo go back to sitting on the stairs on her phone. Aqua was texting someone. Either Lib or Taurus. Cancer was on her phone too. I'm guessing she was either texting Scorpio or Gem. Leo sat there still looking lost. I furrowed my brows at him. What the hell was on his mind?

I sat back up from my slouching and finally decided to ask. "What's wrong with you?" I say. This made Aqua, Virgo, and Cancer look back up.

Leo started to shake his head. "I just feel like I'm forgetting something. But I don't know what it is," he says putting a hand on his head.

Next thing you know, we heard the doorknob turn. Pisces and Taurus came through the door. Soaken wet. A bucket was lifted above each one of them and I could hear Cancer to my right gasp.

Pisces' brown hair almost looked black because of how wet it was, and it covered almost his whole face. Taurus' hair was covering one of his eyes. He looked like he was about to laugh and scream at the same time.

I switched my vision to Virgo to see the expected happen. She looked at Leo, and Leo tried so hard not to laugh. I saw Cancer behind him covering her mouth from her own laughter too.

"LEO!" Virgo yelled out.

Leo sunk down on the couch and kept glancing at Pisces and Taurus to Virgo. "Whoops!"
