The Zodiacs (Open) (10/12)

"I can agree to that," Sage admitted with a slight shrug, "Scorpius! What's your favorite video game?"

Julia walked carefully past them, then spotted a crane machine. NOOOOOOOO MY MONEYYYYYY She screamed in her brain as she inserted five dollars. She loved gambling like this. She is really good at rigged machines, which this one was. She won a stuffed duck of the color blue, a stuffed red lizard, a small hat, and a small stuffed cat. She carried them all to a table separated from everyone. She wanted to keep them but she knew no one would like her. She dropped off all the ones she didn’t want (everything besides the duck) on the table of her new ‘friends’.
“Take ‘em…” She said with a frown, still trying to look cool.
Once that was done she sat by herself and cuddles with the duck while smiling.

Sage looked up to the new girl. She stood up to walk over to where she was sitting, "I'm Sage. What's your name? Why did you drop off all those stuff animals at our table?"

Julia picked her head up. “Julia… I just wanted to do something nice…” she hid her blushing face, she was very embarrassed. “You can share… I… hope you like… it.” Julia holds the duck to her chest tightly.

Sage gave her a grin, "Well you can come join us! We don't bite, promise."

Scorpius was eating happily when asked about his favorite videogame. "Easy. Destiny 2, it just updated. I love it." he chuckled softly before relaxing into his seat. He was so full. "Huh??" He looks at the stuffed animals.

Julia didn't move… she stood still and processed what was said. "I-I can join?"
Her intimidating persona left completely a smile slipped to he face. She never felt accepted, since she was found rude.
"I would love to join…"

Sage gave her a grin and a little hop, "Then come on! I'll introduce you to everyone."

“I know them already… I don’t know you though… well I know their names anyway” Julia said, taken a seat beside Sage, mostly because she was nervous of everyone else for an unknown reason to her.

"Like I said I'm Sage," she introduced herself before pointing to each member of the table, "And that's Scorpius, Virgo, and Zoey!"

Julia smiled, she kinda knew these people from people talk about them, they’re said to be kind, friendly, and lots of other good things. She was never the type to… be like a good person… but she’s always wanted to be, better late then never they say.
“Hi. I’m Julia.” She says introducing herself

"Nice to meet you!" Zoey chirped, giving Julia a friendly smile. "Aren't you in my chem class?"

“Yeah, I’ve seen you a lot.” Julia realized how much she’s actually know others, Zoey and her had been put in a group together for a project. She completely forgot about it until now. “You have a lot of pals in our class don’t you?”

"Oh, yeah, I do," Zoey responded, thinking about it for a moment. "I see you around a lot. It's cool to actually talk to you, though."

“I don’t really chat with people. I never really had friends,” Julia stated calmly, “If you don’t count the swim team, then all the talk I do is answering questions and communicating in projects.”
It was true, being the captain of the swim team was alright, the only reason is because she is apparently the fastest swimmer, although there was way better people to pick.

Zoey smiled. "Then what do you call this? We're chatting. And we're friends, aren't we? I'd like to be your friend," she said earnestly.

Sage piped in with a big grin, "I want to be your friend too!"

Scorpius chuckled. "Ciao, it's a pleasure to meet you." He smiles a little as he offers a hand. Scorpius was pretty welcoming, unless of course you managed to tick him off. The dude could seriously hold a grudge.

Julia covered her face. There's way too many nice people… she thought to herself. She grew nervous and her face grew bright red. "I-I would like t be friends with all of you…" Julia's never been so shy before.

Sage was bouncing a little as Julia said that, "Great! Then we're friends!"

“Awesome!” Zoey cheered, still smiling her friendly smile. She took another bite of pizza. “And help yourself to some pizza if you would like!”

He nods and chuckles softly. Friends would be fine. He glanced over at Virgo before clearing his throat. "I need soda. Anyone else want some? It's on me!"

“Oh! Do they have blueberry soda! It’s my favorite!” Julia stated excitedly, smiling widely.

Virgo offered a polite smile to Julia when she came to the table, but he refocused on Scorpius when he offered to buy. “I wouldn’t mind some, if it’s not too much trouble,” Virgo said softly, smiling a little bit more.

Scorpius shook his head and gave one of those sun like smiles. The kind of warmth you would get when you sat on the beach during a sunny day. "Sure thing! Wanna come with me Virgo?" he asks, offering a hand to the other male.

Julia got excited, she loved this. She got up and shuffled to the crane games, she was determined to win a phone from it.

Scorpius shook his head and gave one of those sun like smiles. The kind of warmth you would get when you sat on the beach during a sunny day. "Sure thing! Wanna come with me Virgo?" he asks, offering a hand to the other male.

“S-Sure,” Virgo replied with a small blush, gingerly taking Scorpius’ hand with a shy smile and standing. Why was Scorpius’ smile so warm and inviting? Why did it have to make Virgo’s heart flutter like a thousand caged birds?

Scorpius's smile only grew when Virgo took his head. "Alright, my peeps. I'll be back in a minute." He states cheerfully before gently guiding Virgo to the counter so they could buy various drinks and a few snacks.

Julia begins putting money in the machine, but when she went to use it, it stopped working. Julia looked at the machine closely, then got angry, and started shaking the machine violently. "HEY YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE MY MONEY WITHOUT GIVING ME A TURN!"

Virgo smiled shyly, mainly focusing on Scorpius as they walked to the counter. To think, if they hadn’t run into each other none of this would be happening right now. Virgo was so preoccupied that he didn’t realize that he was staring at the handsome man as they got to the counter.
