Aradia felt like an outcast in her new school, she knew she didn't belong. As she walked down the halls, she could feel everyone's eyes fixed on her, boring into her mind and extracting all of her secrets. Well, that is, until she met that dork, Sollux Captor. He was nice and sort of cute, even though he had obviously been staring at her boobs. He was tall and lanky, with short, choppy black hair and a slight lisp. But his eyes intrigued her the most. One was a deep blue, as if filled with the ocean, while the other was deep red, almost like rust, similar to the color of Aradia's hair. Then, of course, there was his tattoo. Their marks were similar in every way, except his was Gemini, the twins. She had the strongest feeling that their meeting was not a coincidence. There might even be more in this school. Hopefully.
When the lunch bell finally rang, Aradia grabbed her bag and leapt up, eager to escape that life-sucking classroom. She flew out the door, her red curls bouncing with her.
The macaroni and cheese they were serving look more like inedible, yellow mush. Aradia gave her plate a look of disgust, tossed it in the trash, and grabbed an apple and a bottle of water. She scanned the cafeteria for a decent table to sit at. She finally made her way past the crowds of hungry students to a table in the back where two girls from her pre-calc class were sitting. They seemed to be in the middle of a heated argument.
"I know you stole my pencil, Vriska!" a girl with short brown hair yelled to the girl sitting across from her. She wore bright red glasses, covering her eyes. Aradia knew she was blind.
"Puh-leeeeaaaase, Terezi. You don't even have any proof," she taunted as she flipped her long, jet-black behind her, glaring through her glasses. Aradia cleared her throat, finally getting the girls' attention.
"Can I sit here?" she asked plainly. The short-haired girl, Terezi, grinned widely.
"Aradia, right?" Terezi asked.
"Um, yeah," Aradia replied, curious to know how Terezi had figured that out. Vriska scooted over, giving Aradia a place to sit at the edge of the bench. She turned to look at her, her cobalt eyes twinkling.
"So are you gonna go out with Sollux?" she asked, a hint of tease in her voice. Terezi cackled.
"Um, I don't know," Aradia said, her eyes flickering down. "I mean, I just met him."
"I heard he has two tongues," Terezi interjected. "That might explain the hilarious lisp."
"When you finally hook up with him, tell me if he has two dicks," Vriska joked. Aradia rolled her eyes. Then a thought came to her head.
"Did you guys see that mark he has on his wrist?" she asked. She saw Vriska's eyes drop downwards momentarily.
"Why?" Vriska asked. Aradia turned her arm.
"I have one like it," she said quietly. Vriska looked at Terezi, who seemed to understand. They rested their left arms on the gray table, exposing their own tattoos. Scorpio and Libra, the scorpion and the scales. Aradia felt her heart flutter with relief. So there were more like her. Maybe this school wasn't so bad after all.
