Cancer's POV

It was finally here, everything we've been practising for, the play.. I felt incredibly nervous, what if I forgot my lines? Or I stutter by accident? Or even worse, trip myself? I really didn't want this to end in a disaster, the Light O'strologers are coming to watch, one of the most respected group of people in the universe. They've announced that whoever wins, would receive an extrodinary prize. I'm not sure whether it is real or fake, or even useful, but it would be a nice treat for the class.

I mainly don't want to mess up as I'm the lead role, the princess.. I didn't expect Jupiter to pick me nor acknowledge my existence, infact, I was amazed when she even considered me for the lead role. If I messed up, it would mean I wouldn't be allowed any lead roles and I'd be the topic of the school's gossip page, but I honestly don't care what they think of me. I mainly care about the class' thoughts. We're going to be together for a long time.. them bad mouthing me would absolutely shatter my feelings. I don't think I'd be able to even attend school at that point.

I nervously stepped out of the dressing room, in my costume. I felt like a true princess... it captured my figure and made my ocean-like eyes stand out. I started making my way backstage to meet up with Taurus, her role is the crazy scientist.. If I'm not wrong.

As I was about to take another step, I felt something grab my wrist as I was pulled into darkness. I felt my heart pounding, a hand covering my face as I lightly listened to the unknown footsteps drawing closer and closer.

"Salemn.. have you found out who took the book?" A voice that sounded similar to principal Milky Way said.

"Absolutely not. The thief left no trace, I'm assuming it's one of the students.." The librarian sighed

"You must get it back. It's incredibly important, if we don't manage to find it back we might aswell be facing serious concequences." Principal Milky Way warned.

"I'm trying! I've checked all the cameras, gave me no clue or any form of help. If it gets worser, you should contact Andromeda." Salemn stated.

I felt someone's breath against my neck as it sent shivers down my spine as the person pulled me closer, making sure neither Milky way or Salemn would notice. After a while, they decided to leave as I sighed in relief, the mysterious person letting go of me.

I nervously glanced back, only to be met with familiar golden eyes. Scorpio.. I thought to myself. I quickly glanced away, furiously blushing as I realized what had happened..

"Cancer, I know you're scared." Scorpio sighed as I turned to look at him

"Well, you've just.. pulled me in out of nowhere." I nervously said

"It was because you were about to bump into Salemn and the principal. Tho, they gave us useful information" Scorpio admitted

comfortable silence passed around us, as we both glanced away from eachoter.

"So.. why do you think they.." I hesitated as his eyes drew towards me

"Why do you think they.. want the book..?" I continued

"Probably because they noticed it went missing.. but.. what if we were right afterall..?" He said as I raised a brow

"What do you mean?" I asked confused
