"No! She cannot be sorted to my sign.
The people in my sign are smart while
choosing the people they want to be
with. They are loyal, ambitious and open
-minded people. Just like their ruling
planet, Jupiter, their dreams are big.
For them, exploring is everything. She is not fit for being a Sagittarius."
"There is no way she is a Cancer. The
people in my sign are nurturing and protective over the people they love. They have a very delicate heart. They are not selfish like most of the other signs. Just like their element, water, they like to go with the flow of the society."
All the signs were fighting for where Fiona would be sorted. Suddenly,out of no where, a voice said"I will take her into my sign" all other sign's attention went toward the source of the voice. All signs went silent except Scorpio. "All you sure.
you are one of the most unique signs Zodiac can get. We don't think this girl deserves to be in your sign. She is not capable to be called an Aquarius."
"Shut up!! I am the one who decides who I want and don't want in my sign. If you all don't have any other questions then I will permanently sort her to my sign."
Everyone were silent."Hmm. If there is no more questions.__" Aquarius pressed the bright turquoise button which had the Aquarius symbol. "She is fit to be in my sign because is is unique in her own way, she stands out in the crowd, she would be happier if she lives her life independently. She will make me and my sign proud."

"Fiona! Wake up. You are late for work.
Today is your first day. God please help me wake this lazy girl. Fiona!! Fiona!!!"
"Urghh!! Let me sleep for five more minutes. I couldn't sleep last night.
wait... It's 7:30!! Oh no I am late!!"
Fiona got out of the bed and rushed her way towards the bathroom. She had to reach her office by 8:00 am. She wore a formal office white shirt and a black knee length skirt. She took the car keys and went out without turning towards her friend, Miu.
Fifteen minutes later she reached the office. Luckily, she was on time. She parked her car near the other cars of the employees and entered the office. She found her seat and sat there she saw some papers with assignments. She had ten minutes more for her to start working on those assignments. She was suddenly remembered of the weird dream she had this morning.
'Who were those people? They we're fighting about something. I think I was being sorted into something. But the weird part is this is the seventh time I am having the same dream.'
She could only try to relate her dream to
real life but unfortunately, she couldn't.
She couldn't waste her precious time on stupid dreams bothering her so much so
she brushed it off her mind and started working on her assignments on her laptop.

9:00 pm, Steelford's Dining.
Fiona was drinking some coffee after her work was over. She stop bye this dining to get a cup of coffee and a small
muffin. She was reading a book while sipping her freshly brewed coffee. She couldn't help but notice the twinkling stars up in the night sky. She closed the book and started at those stars.
She was so engrossed into the sky that she did not notice how much times she wasted. It had been passed ten minutes since she was starring at the sky. But she couldn't be blamed, the shy was indeed strangely beautiful that day. "Miss, should I make your bill or do you want to order anything else." Fiona was awaken back to reality by a female voice. "No. You can make the bill." Fiona embarrassingly replied. The waitress nodded and went to the counter to make the bill.
Her co-worker asked her whether anything is wrong with the girl sitting on that table. To this, she replied by saying"I don't know." Fiona heard everything and was very embarrassed. A few minutes later she returned with a bill and placed it on the table where Fiona was sitting. Fiona took her purse out to take some cash from it. When she placed the money on the table, a card fell down from her purse she noticed it and found out that it was one of the
co-worker's ID card. She wondered how it came into her purse. She looked behind the ID card to find his phone number written on it. She noted down the number and called him to inform him about his lost ID card and she will return it tomorrow.

On The Phone :
"hello? Who is this?"said the person on the other side.
"Hello. This is me, Fiona. I wanted to let you know that I have the ID card you had lost. I found it inside my purse. I'll return it by tomorrow. Hope you won't mind."
"Yes. I was currently searching for it. I even called my other co-workers. Thank God you have it."
"Yes. I will return it tomorrow morning."
*The call ended*

She went inside the car and drove her way towards her house. After a few minutes, she reached her house. When she opened the door, she noticed that her roommate had not went come back from her work. 'Maybe she is working a night shift.' Fiona took a shower and went to her bedroom and slept.
She threw herself on the bed and was about to drift off to sleep when she heard the main door open. She knew that it was her roommate, Miu.
She was going back to her sleep when she heard a man's cold voice saying"Is she Fiona? Are you sure?" She froze. She closed her eyes so that they won't her to be awake. She was sweating, she was shaking, her heart pace was increasing. In her mind she was asking herself what she should do. She started praying to every God that came to her mind. Right now, she only wanted to save her life.
Suddenly she felt a presence crawling on to the bed she was sleeping on. She couldn't take it anymore and her impulses made her turn around to look at the man who was on her bed. Her eyes widened when she saw....no one. She sighed and went back to sleep. She was relieved to see that there was no one. She thought she was imagining stuff because she was very tired. But she did not no she was wrong.
