Scorpio sighed in his room that he was sharing with Leo, to be honest he missed his arrogant and cocky way of talking.

His stomach growled loudly. He swept his black hair away from his forehead and got up. "Ugh I have to deal with people." He muttered. He was very antisocial and didn't give a damn about it.

He locked the door and with his hands in his pocket made his way to the public cafeteria. He was utterly broke, he couldn't afford to go to restaurants and stuff.

The door automatically slid in front of him, welcoming him inside. The smell of high school cafeteria food hit his nose. He looked for an empt seat and found one....right next to the trash can.

"Damn it." He said under his breath. He hated sitting next to a trash can, I mean who does?! He went into the line and idly stood there for a few minutes.

"MOVE!" Someone yelled at him from behind. Scorpio felt his mouth twitch in anger, but he knew better then to get into unnecessary fights. He stepped  forward and took a look at the possible food options.

None looked appetizing but he had to eat something, he was starving. He took a slice of pepperoni pizza and a can of chilled coke. "That should do." He told himself.

He slid the tray in front of the cashier. "Looks like you have run out of money boy." He stared at him. He mentally cursed. "How much is it sir?" He tried to be as polite as possible with punching the cashier in the face.

"Eight dollars, bud." He looked annoyed. Scorpio searched his pockets but found nothing but a few coins and some lint. Looks like he would have to go through today without lunch.

"I'm sorry I don't have any money." Scorpio tried to squeeze some sympathy out of the guy. "Then keep the tray back and leave." He rolled his eyes.

"Oh sir, I will pay for him." A feminine voice said sweetly. "You sure little lady?" The cashier smiled. Scorpio looked behind him, it was Cancer. He silently groaned.

He didn't want help from Cancer but his stomach argued back. "Here you go." She handed him a ten dollar bill and got her change back.

"Hey, thanks." Scorpio said looking away.  "No problem." She said tossing her soda can in the air, bad idea. "Wanna sit with us?" She offered.

Scorpio gladly accepted and followed her. The table consisted of Sagittarius, libra and some other random people. He instantly regretted his decision.

Sag glared at him with his stone cold eyes and Libra seemed to be eyeing Scorpio's every move. "I wonder how, they are doing out there." Cancer started the conversation.

"They are all alive, the last time I checked. I just glad I don't have to clean my room." Libra chuckled and popped a strawberry in her mouth.

"I'm just glad I don't have to deal with it." Sag's low voice resonated. He had bandages wrapped around his fists and seemed to be grimacing in pain every time he clenched them.

Scorpio stayed silent and chewed on his  pizza. Cancer prepare to open her soda. "That's not such a good i-." Cancer squealed as the soda fizzed and splattered everywhere and on everyone.

"Great job Cancer." Her older brother got up and took a napkin to wipe off his jeans. "Oops." Cancer had soda all over her green and blue flannel as well as all over her leggings.

Scorpio wasn't in the line of fire and grabbed a bunch of napkins for everyone. Libra was holding in her anger. She had an extremely short temper and was hotheaded. "That was my favorite SHIRT!" She gritted through her teeth.

"Sorry captain." Cancer apologized. Libra took deep breaths and slowly counted to ten. "It's ok just don't be a DUMBASS next time!" Her voice got exceptionally loud while saying dumbass.

Cancer slumped in her seat, she was awaiting her punishment. Sag was long gone, he didn't want to deal with Cancer's over the top emotions.

Scorpio took a napkin and handed it to Cancer. "Wipe yourself off, you will get sticky." He drank his own soda and smirked.

Libra marched off, looking like she wanted to rip the head off of someone. "Thanks." Cancer took the napkin and wiped her face. "I'm so screwed." She mumbled, her bottom lip quivering.

Scorpio knew she was an emotional mess and that she was sensitive, but would feel bad if he left her alone. He walked her out of the room, she was sticky and smelled like coke.

"I'm sorry to do this to you." She held her head down. Scorpio hated one thing, when someone apologizes for something either stupid or not their fault. "Its fine." He said shortly.

He noticed her caramel hair glowed in the sun making it look more like a honey color. She whimpered, she hated this gross feeling. "We need to get you out of those clothes." Scorpio said. Cancer gave him a death glare. "NO I didn't mean it that way!" He put his hand up in defense.

"Touch me and I will kick you in a place you do not want to be kicked." She threatened him. "Ok I was just saying you should shower and change." Scorpio lowered his hands. Cancer squinted.

She began walking away but Scorpio felt himself following her. Cancer paused and looked back. "Why are you following me?" She put her hand on her  hips. He frantically searched for an excuse. "I just thought it's getting dark soon and that nasty people come out during that time." He mentally kicked himself.

It was the afternoon! It wasn't going to turn dark for at least another 6 hours! What a stupid excuse. Cancer rolled her eyes and sighed. "Your really bad at lying you know." "Really?! How could you tell?" Scorpio laughed sarcastically.

"Fine just come." Cancer urged him to walk next to her. Scorpio jogged up to her and then walked along with her. "Am I allowed in the girls dorm?" He rubbed his neck. "As long as you don't do anything fishy." Cancer raised her eyebrows at him.

He felt a blush creep up on him. They reached the dorm and walked up to the second floor. Cancer shared her room with another girl who wasn't in at the time.

"Take a seat, I will go ahead and take a shower." Cancer grabbed a towel and her clothes and rushed into the bathroom, eager to get the gross feeling off of her.

Scorpio looked around the room and found that her side of the room was plastered with famous martial artists, she mostly had the famous Bruce Lee on her wall.

Her side also had various weights, all different sizes, and to his surprise she even had enough room to hang a mini punching bag on the wall.

If she was like this he couldn't imagine her brother's room.

Cancer felt the warm water slid of her skin getting rid of the stickiness and smell. She plopped a handful of lavender body wash and scrubbed until she felt clean.

She then took her citrus shampoo rubbed it in her hair. She washed the suds off and put conditioner on. While she waited for the conditioner to settle she wondered what Scorpio was doing.

She washed the conditioner out and turned the shower off and grabbed her towel. She patted herself down with the fluffy towel and put her fresh clothes on.

Scorpio was getting bored now, why did he come? He completely forgot. The bathroom door opened, steam and a refreshing lavender scent filled the room. Cancer came out rubbing her wet hair with the towel.

"So you like my room?" Cancer asked sitting next to him on the bed. A citrusy smell wafted into his nose, he tried very hard not to just smell her hair entirely. "It's interesting." He said.

"I hope Libra doesn't punish me too bad." Cancer put her head down. "Don't worry she won't." Scorpio put a hand on her leg. "Thanks." Cancer said suddenly.

"For what?" Scorpio tilted his head in confusion, all he did was hand her a napkin. "For coming into my life." Cancer looked up at him through her thick eyelashes.
