"And you better not tell me this is none of my business, because if someone's getting hurt right in front of my eyes, I'm not going to just stand around and do nothing about it!" Yuuki clenched her fists at the boy who had thrown the shy girl to the ground, and she wasn't the only one waiting impatiently for an explanation as to why, since Michelle had just rushed over here as well.
"May I ask what happened here? I know that this isn't one of my problems but justice is something I always seek. Please tell me what happened here. I cannot bear to see someone crying, especially when it's my roommate."
Roommate? This crying girl was Michelle's roommate? Yuuki didn't get an answer to any of her questions though, as the doors to auditorium opened with a loud, creaky swing. She looked from the doors back to the boy, giving him an evil glare.
"I'm letting you off the hook this time. But just know- I'm watching you." Yuuki grabbed the shy girl by the arm, and Michelle with her other, leading them away from the scene of the crime. She made the decision to sit by them, and invited Chase to join them when she spotted him entering the auditorium.
"Yo! Chasey! Come sit by us!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitting in between Chase and Michelle, with the shy girl close by, Yuuki waited on the edge of her seat for orientation to start. For once, she had a rather serious look on her face. Soon, an older gentleman appeared on the stage, and approached the microphone. He tapped the microphone, and the whispers died down into silence.
This is it.
"Welcome, one and all, to Serendipity, school of constellations! I am Isaac Sheppard, the current Headmaster of the school. To share a bit about myself, I have been teaching at Serendipity for over twenty-five years. I've just became the Headmaster last year, so I'm still fairly new to everything, like some of you are to this school." The man's piercing gaze swept across the room, and Yuuki could have sworn he looked over at the four of them sitting together.
He... looked right at me.
While it was probably nothing, Yuuki found his powerful gaze a bit creepy. Like he was staring into her soul. A shiver ran down spine, and goosebumps appeared on her skin as he talked.
"There's not really a need to go over rules and such for you should have gotten the paperwork for that when you received your dorm key, so I'm going to talk about the expectations of you as a student and of us as faculty. We expect nothing but your very best and, in turn, you should expect the same from us. The purpose of this school is to inform you about who you are and where you come from as a Constellation Child. We are here to help you understand and accept yourself as who you are. But that can only take place if you cooperate with us. Some of us are here because we have great shoes to fill and destinies to follow," the old man smiled, making his earlier image as a creepy weird evil wizard disappear in Yuuki's mind. Still, something about that sentence made Yuuki uncomfortable. She did have big shoes to fill. She wondered if she would be able to.
"Either way, we are here for you every step of the way, so don't you worry." Yuuki took comfort in that last part. She wasn't alone either. Their were Zodiac kids in the same situation as her.
"I believe that it is all. School officially starts tomorrow, so make sure you read up on the rules and aren't breaking any on the very first day! Also, if all of the Zodiac Children can meet me at the side entrance of the auditorium, I'd greatly appreciate it." Murmurs broke out amongst the audience as they gossiped about the Zodiac Children and tried to see who they were, watching the side entrance with hawk eyes. Yuuki didn't know why, but she shrunk back in her seat, doing her best to avoid being seen. She felt uncomfortable, and she didn't know why. Yuuki never minded attention. And she was usually quite confident, but she hadn't really realized just how important her role was. She wasn't just any other constellation daughter, she was an Aries. She was meant to be a leader to not only the minor constellations of sky, but the zodiac signs! The pressure was nerve-racking. Slowly, everyone filed out as the were dismissed, leaving only the zodiacs. Yuuki relaxed, knowing there would be significantly less eyes on her now. She stood up from her seat, ready to head toward the side entrance, but was quickly paralyzed as a realization popped up in her head.
"Waaaaait aaaaaa second!" She pointed to the shy girl with one hand and Chase with the other,
"Why are you two still here!? Are you both Zodiacs!?" Yuuki knew that Michelle was, since she had introduced herself as the daughter of Libra, but she didn't know the others were. She was even more shocked to see both her roommate Mina and Sherman heading of towards the side.
"This is crazy! Everyone I've met is a Zodiac! Come on guys, let's go!" Yuuki led the way with an energetic smile, waving at Mina and Sherman as she approached.
"Hey Mina! Sherman! You guys didn't tell me you were Zodiac kids!" Yuuki knew that Sherman had already knew Michelle and Chase, and Mina seemed a bit confused, so she decided to introduce her to them.
"Everyone, this is my roommate Mina! Isn't she super cute~?" Yuuki stood behind her and lifted up her pigtails, playing with her as though she were her little sister.
"Mina, I'd like you to meet Sherman," she pointed to him, and then each person as she listed their names,
"Chase, Michelle, and... um. I don't think I ever got your name." Yuuki looked at the shy girl, feeling bad for never asking what to call her.
