It was your average day at school

It was your average day at school. Until it happened. A pop quiz. I'm just kidding. It was completely, totally, and perfectly boring. Nothing remotely exciting happened. That's why everybody likes after school. Fun things happen then.

Four figures sat at a café. One was a beautiful and single maiden who really liked chocolate. One was a very annoying genius who enjoyed pulling pranks on people. One was a very clever twin who always made sly remarks. One was a very sassy southerner who enjoyed coffee.

"I'm so happy that school is over for the day," Gem sighed. "I can't stand it anymore. I should dropout."

"Y'all can't just abandon me in there," an offended Leo gasped. "Alone! Nobody to lean on!"

"What about me?" Nye gaped.

"A girl always needs her best friend." Leo rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry Nye, you got me," Capricorn reminded him.

Nye only paled and shook his head. "Yeah, um, I'm good."

Capricorn gasped and wiped away fake tears. "I'm truly hurt."

"Wait a sec, I just realized neither of you have powers," said Gem, referring to Leo and Capricorn.

"You're right. We're more powerful," Nye realized.

"Don't bet on it, sweetie," Leo told him. Nye nodded.

"Whatever. I bet my power'll be really cool. Like, I'll be able to blow stuff up or whatever. Whatever it qis, it'll save us all," Capricorn reassured himself.

"Mine'll be cooler," Leo challenged.

"I doubt it." Capricorn scoffed at his friend.

"Nah," Leo grinned.

A double date. Libra's house. After school.

"WHAT TEAM?" Libra shouted.

"WILD CATS!" Sagittarius echoed.

"WHAT TEAM?" Libra shouted again.

"WILDCATS!" Sagittarius echoed again.

"Are we seriously watching high school musical?" Scorpio asked, deadpanned.

"Are you seriously not wearing the wildcats jersey we gave you?" Libra shot back.

"Fine, I'll put it on." Scorpio picked up the shirt and put it on over the shirt he had been wearing. "Happy?"

"Very." Libra winked at him.

"Does anybody else think that Chad and Ryan end up dating after high school?" Aries asked.
The girls both raised their hands in the air.

"You don't think so?" Sagittarius asked Scorpio.
