The Zodiacs (Open) (10/12)

"I can see that," Sage laughed, "But being a goody-two-shoes isn't all that bad."

“There are worse things to be,” Zoey agreed with a shrug and a chuckle. She wasn’t upset about her good girl status, but she did feel a bit like a little kid because of it sometimes.

"Yeah," Sage let out a little more self deprecating of a laugh, "Like the school know-it-all or teacher's pet."

“Those things aren’t bad either,” Zoey added with a smile, realizing that Sage was probably referring to herself.

"Really?" Sage asked a little curious as always, "Thanks."

“Of course,” Zoey replied. “No one should feel ashamed about that sort of thing. Though I suppose that’s a tad hypocritical of me, since I feel slightly ashamed of being a goody goody sometimes.” She giggled.

"Monty is a Ball Python. He's a sweetheart." He chuckles softly. "And of course, he's very affectionate." Scorpius hums along with the radio. "He's pretty gentle. I've had him since he was an egg." He hums as he looks around. "I don't remember… Right it was a right here and then go straight…" he hums as he looks around.

“Really? That’s amazing,” Virgo grinned brightly. He definitely wanted to meet Monty, the only Ball Python the pet store had had been a couple years ago and Virgo never got a chance to see it. He shifted in his seat to look at the scenery passing by, but then his eyes drifted back to Scorpius for some reason. Virgo didn’t realize he was staring.

“Of course,” Zoey replied. “No one should feel ashamed about that sort of thing. Though I suppose that’s a tad hypocritical of me, since I feel slightly ashamed of being a goody goody sometimes.” She giggled.

Sage let out an honest laugh, “I get that, a lot. So I never asked, what’s your favorite pizza type?”

“I’m partial to pineapple and Canadian bacon myself, but I’ll eat whatever,” Zoey responded with a shrug. “I’m not picky.”

Sage gave her a grin and a nod, "Nice. Always glad to see someone open to anything."

"Monty is a Ball Python. He's a sweetheart." He chuckles softly. "And of course, he's very affectionate." Scorpius hums along with the radio. "He's pretty gentle. I've had him since he was an egg." He hums as he looks around. "I don't remember… Right it was a right here and then go straight…" he hums as he looks around.

“Really? That’s amazing,” Virgo grinned brightly. He definitely wanted to meet Monty, the only Ball Python the pet store had had been a couple years ago and Virgo never got a chance to see it. He shifted in his seat to look at the scenery passing by, but then his eyes drifted back to Scorpius for some reason. Virgo didn’t realize he was staring.

Scorpius chuckles. "Yeah. I think next Friday I'm holding an end of school party. It's just going to be me and a few friends, if you want to come." He turns the radio down do he could talk to Virgo properly without music in his ears. He could feel the others gaze on him and he smiled faintly. "I'm not that good looking." He teased lightly.

Warmth swelled in Virgo’s heart as he was invited. “That would be really awesome. I’d love to come.” He grinned happily. Then his face immediately turned to blushing when he registered Scorpius’ next words. He quickly looked away, but added shyly, “Y-You are. Really good looking, th-that is.” Gosh, what was he saying? How had he become so bold? His face was like a fire hydrant, he didn’t think he could stop blushing.

Sage gave her a grin and a nod, "Nice. Always glad to see someone open to anything."

Zoey grinned back. “If I don’t try anything new, how do I know if I’ll like it?” she added. “It’s fun.”

Sage was so excited to find someone with a similar mindset, "It is! We think alike my dear Zoey!"

“You know what they say,” Zoey replied with a grin. “Great minds think alike.” She winked and tapped her finger to her head.

Sage gave her a grin and tapped her own head, "Indeed they do. Hey, look there's the pizza!"

Zoey’s mouth watered. “Yay! I’m so hungry!” She glanced in the direction that Sage was looking.

Sage gave a little laugh. She watched as the lady put the pizza's on the table and gave her a quick thanks before grabbing a slice, "Dig in!"

Zoey grinned and a took a slice of her own, taking a few swift bites before turning to Sage with an excited expression. “This is actually really good!”

Sage took a big bite and grinning, "I know! It's amazing."

“Okay, this is officially my new favorite thing ever!” Zoey announced, even though she said that kind of a lot. But the pizza was really good.

Sage laughed a little as she kept eating, "Sure, you say that to a lot of things, but thank you for the compliment."

Zoey laughed. “I guess that’s just my way of saying it’s really good.” She continued eating the pizza.

Sage nodded and grinned, "Well still thanks for liking it."

“Thanks for introducing me to it,” Zoey responded before finishing up that slice and taking another one.

"You're welcome!" Sage said grinning as she went for another piece before stopping herself, "Anyway wonder where the others are."

“Good question. You should probably call them.” Zoey didn’t have Scorpius’s number, so she didn’t have a way to contact him.

Sage nodded and dialed up Scorpius putting the phone up to her ear.

Warmth swelled in Virgo’s heart as he was invited. “That would be really awesome. I’d love to come.” He grinned happily. Then his face immediately turned to blushing when he registered Scorpius’ next words. He quickly looked away, but added shyly, “Y-You are. Really good looking, th-that is.” Gosh, what was he saying? How had he become so bold? His face was like a fire hydrant, he didn’t think he could stop blushing.

Scorpius chuckled softly at the blushing mess Virgo had become. He glanced over at Virgo. "You're not to bad looking yourself." He teases gently. "Not bad at all." He smiled a little as they drove. It was super cute seeing Virgo blush like that. He hummed to himself as he drove.

Gosh, Scorpius knew exactly what to say to get him to blush even more. He covered his cheeks with his hand, though it didn’t do much good to hide the redness in them. “I- I’m- I don’t look good at all,” Virgo protested, his face still dusted with red, “I- I’m short and have an ugly nose.”
