Chereads / GEMINI (ON-HOLD) / Chapter 7 - Seventh

Chapter 7 - Seventh

Tamitha got to the university early, she started the day by getting the books she'll be using for her class today. While fixing her locker a familiar entity showed up in front of her. "Hey, I just want to apologize for getting you involved yesterday." The lad stated. It surprised Tamitha to see who's the person talking. Hell, she's not even looking forward for an apology from him, since she somehow admit that it's kind of her fault too for mistaking Pollux as his twin brother, Castor.

"I-It's fine. Do you know who's the person behind that?" She asked as soon as she recovered. The lad shakes his head as an answer. "It's better that you know nothing about it. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong." He coldly stated. That tone made Tamitha's blood boil. 'How dare he tells me not to mind what just happened to us yesterday!' She thought.

She closed her locker loudly, catching other people's attention but Pollux didn't even flinch with that sudden movement. "And how is it not my business, huh? I was there too! And I almost got killed because of that." She faced the lad while arching her brow waiting for his answer. The guy's face remain stoic.

"You're not supposed to be there, to begin with." The stone-cold guy stated.

"What is that supposed to mean?!"

"I'm just saying. Those people are on to me, you have nothing to do with that so just listen to me when I say don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong." That's the last statement she heard from the guy before walking away.

Tamitha on the other hand was left pissed off because of that guy's tone. 'How dare he to boss me around? As if I would affiliate myself to an ass like him.'

"Looks like you got yourself a new friend, huh?" A familiar voice teased. 'Good heavens! Why do I have to face annoying people this early!' Tamitha complained, sighing all her frustrations before facing Asteria's direction. She haven't calmed herself and yet another stress has enetered her zone.

"What do you want? I've already had one stress encounter, please don't push me to my limit." Tamitha pleads to make Asteria laugh with Tamitha's honesty. "Relax, girl. Just checking up on you. You know about your dreams." Asteria even whispered the last sentence she stated to tease Tamitha more.

"Oh, my gosh! Can you stop pestering about my dreams! I don't even know why you know that."

"Oh dear, I know everything you don't."

"What do you mean by that?"

Instead of getting an answer, Asteria just winked at her before leaving Tamitha behind once again frustrated and now, even more, confused about what is happening to her life. Tamitha pursed her lips and clenched her fists for a second to suppresed her frustation. 'They're so annoying! Can I have one peaceful day for once!' She wished before heading to her first class.

Unfortunately, Tamitha kept spacing out and can't seem to focus on today's discussion. As much as she wanted to listen she just can't help thinking about what's happening to her life for the past months; first, she's having weird dreams, then it upgraded to her, having visions making her think she's maybe some kind of psychic. Making her think if those dreams and visions are signs for her. But that thought was completely trashed because of what happened yesterday if those visions are signs to prevent her from putting her life in danger why does it only occur when the vision itself was happening right at that moment?

That's the question she kept asking, then Asteria's words bothered her more. What are the things Asteria knows that she doesn't?

'That annoying red head girl messing with my head!' She angrily whispered.

She frustratedly scratched her head and bowed to rest for a while. But as soon as she was about to rest her head, someone excused her and asked to visit the Headmaster's office. She sighed and fixed her things before going outside.

"Great, you're here. Have a seat."

"What's going on?"

"The Foundation Day is near, what's your plan about that? Have you talked about this with the other committee?" Tamitha's eyes immediately widen realizing that the school's foundation day is only a month or two away from now. "Shoot! I completely forgot about that, I'm sorry headmaster. I've been preoccupied lately but I'll send you some updates, just give me two to three days."

Tamitha instantly contacted her team to schedule their meeting. They decided having their meeting tomorrow at 5 pm after their classes. She also asked her team to do some research on the themes whenever they have some free time, to save more time in their meeting. Since she only has three subjects for today, she researched some interesting theme for this year's Foundation Day.

She thought of the galaxy theme but she knew it's already been used years ago, so she wanted to do something different, something unique yet enticing. She continued her research in her dorm room to have more privacy.

"Alright, let's see..." She started visiting a different website to look at some ideas that could work for their foundation. She found a detective-like theme of a party, she found it interesting and challenging, but she's not sure yet, she still needs to ask for her team's approval. She also found a Hollywood theme, but it's a common theme already. This is her first year of handling their Foundation Day and she wanted it to be unique and memorable.

She's completely engrossed with her research until someone knocked on her door. She got up and open the door. "You again?! What do you want?" Tamitha annoyingly said the moment she saw who the person was.

"Castor asks me to fetch you. They want us to have lunch."

"With you? Psh, no thanks. I'm busy." Tamitha tried to close the door but the guy immediately stopped her from doing it by blocking the door by his foot to prevent it from closing. "Don't worry, I won't eat with you. I'll leave as soon as I drop you off the place." Tamitha looks at the guy for a second before deciding to come with him. She get her things fixed before heading out. "Where are we going, anyway?" The lass asked.

"The Steak Place." He answered. Tamitha once again looks at Pollux's movement. Pollux and Castor look alike however, Castor's aura is way more energetic and positive while Pollux his aura screams authority and at the same time standoffish but Tamitha can't help feel some magnet drawing her more to the lad. He might look cold-hearted, but Tamitha thinks it's just his front. That's what her thought keeps telling her.

They were walking on the way to the parking lot. Pollux walking cooly with his hands in his pocket seems to interest Tamitha more. She wanted to ask a lot of things to him, but she's too shy to do so. She don't even know how to properly approach him. "Done checking me out?" Pollux asked while looking at the maiden with a teasing smile on his face, making Tamitha avoid his gaze. "T-There's just something on your face! Psh f-feeler!"

Pollux let out a soft chuckle before opening the car's passenger seat for Tamitha. She didn't even notice that they already reached Pollux's car. Tamitha immediately went in and silently wait for Pollux. She finds Pollux's action sweet, but she just ignored it. 'Maybe he's just like that.' She even convinced herself.

The entire ride was deafening. No one even bothered to talk or simply asked something about each other. Tamitha doesn't know how she would approach the guy because she can sense how distant Pollux was. Moments later they finally arrived at the destination. They both went out of the car at the same time and entered the place.

Tamitha looked around and saw Castor and Pearl waving their hands to catch their attention. She walked towards them. "Hey!" She greeted. "Finally! You're here. I'm starving." Pearl even exaggerated her action as if telling her best friend that she's got hungry from all the waiting. "Then, what are we even waiting for? Let's go eat!" Tamitha excitedly stated.

"Pollux, Bro, come on have a seat." Castor invited. "I can't bro. As much as I want to, I can't. I need to go somewhere. I'll catch up with you guys next time. Nice meeting you." Pollux bid before taking off.

Tamitha stares at Pollux's back until she can't see him anymore. 'He's indeed true to his words.' She thought making her feel guilty. She also noticed something. Pollux's attitude changes whenever he talks to his brother. Tamitha can't help but be more curious about Pollux. 'What's up with his cold attitude towards me?' She thought once more.
