Chapter one

Meet The Pizza Boy

"Are you serious? Then what did he do?" The girls asked as they listened to

Malon's story. It was Ruto, Malon, and Zelda all hanging out in their dorm. It

was a Friday night, and as usual, they exchanged the gossip from the past week

with each other. Malon cleared her throat before continuing. "Well, he told me that he wanted to get to know me better, so now we are going out to dinner tomorrow!" The two other girls squealed when they heard this news.

"Sheik is SO cute!" Ruto exclaimed, clapping her hands together. Zelda nodded in

agreement while smiling for her friends. Malon could sense something was wrong.

"What's the matter?" She asked with a frown. Zelda shook her head, "Nothing,

just thinking." Although she was happy her best friend now had a boyfriend, she felt a tiny twinge of jealousy. Not because she particularly liked Sheik, but because it had always seemed easier for Malon to get boys to like her than it was for Zelda. Zelda looked at her friend and sighed. Malon had long, curly red hair that always looked perfect no matter how the weather was. She also had bright green eyes and straight, white teeth. To top it all off, she had a beautiful golden tan from her childhood living at a farm.

"Zellie, tell us what's eatin' ya." Ruto said with a playful push on Zelda's shoulder. "It's nothing, really. I'm just kinda tired from being at school all day." She replied with a wave.

She glanced over to her other friend Ruto. Ruto was just as pretty as Malon,

with her short, blue hair and stunning blue eyes to match. Ruto spent at least two hours a day on her hair, which was why it was always dead-straight and silky looking. Ruto loved to attract attention, so she put silver streaks in her hair which always glistened in the sunlight. Zelda and Malon always joked that Ruto could have a different boyfriend everyday of the week because of how many she had gone through over the years. She was the first of the three girls to have a boyfriend, which was in eighth grade. "I can't get one at all." Zelda thought to herself with a sigh. "And I'm in college now. That's pretty pathetic." It was as if her two friends read her mind. "It's about time you got a boyfriend, Zellie." Ruto said, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, is that what's bothering you?" Malon asked.

"No! Not at all! I don't need any more distractions away from school." Zelda replied, a little too quickly. Ruto and Malon shook their heads slowly. "I see..." They said softly at the same time. Zelda sighed silently. She always denied the fact that she wanted a relationship, but it was really what she wanted most. She also had a wild side that she denied as well. She always said that the only goal she had was to finish college, but she secretly wanted to go out to parties and things like that. "Ruto goes to parties every night! It's my turn!" She thought with a frown.

"I know it won't be hard for you to hook up with somebody." Malon said smiling at Zelda, "You have the looks, you just need more confidence.

" Zelda shrugged, then smiled weakly. "I guess." It was true that she was very pretty, but still shy unless she was with close friends.

"Well, now that you feel better, I think we should order a pizza for dinner!"Malon announced, standing up and heading to the phone.

"No way! I am NOT eating pizza! Do you know how many calories is in one of those things?" Ruto demanded.

"Be quiet Ruto." Zelda rolled her eyes, "You know you won't gain a thing with a bit of pizza every now and then. You go to the gym after work every day."

"Hmph." Ruto flopped onto the couch with a pouty expression on her face.

Malon came back into the room and chuckled when she saw Ruto, "Pizza's coming! It'll be here soon."

The three girls chatted for another half hour while they waited for the pizza to arrive. Finally, the doorbell rang. "Yes! It has arrived! Zelda, could you get that?" Malon said while turning to Zelda. Zelda nodded and stood up. She walked over to the front door and opened it up. She looked at the delivery guy and gasped, dropping the handful of bills and coins to the floor. He was gorgeous! The thick locks of dirty blond hair falling to just below his chin, with bangs parted down the middle so they weren't covering his eyes, which were a deep shade of blue. His perfectly shaped face with defined features looked down to the floor where the money had been dropped. Zelda wanted to disappear. She couldn't believe she had done something so stupid. The reason she dropped the money in the first place was because she was so overcome with shock at the sight of the young man who had been standing behind the door. "Um, sorry." She mumbled as she bent down to pick it up. The boy bent down as well,

"It's okay, I can get it." He said in a voice that made Zelda blush even more furiously than before. It was so smooth and deep,

just the kind of voice you hear from a grand hero in the movies. Once they had both picked up the money, they stood up and faced each other for the first time. Zelda couldn't look him straight in the eye for fear of looking like an overripe tomato. She dropped the loose change into his open hand.

"Here." She whispered, so quietly that he could barely hear it.

"Thanks." He said with a smile. By this time, Malon and Ruto had come into the room and were watching the scene.

The handsome boy handed the pizza box to Zelda, then stuffed the money in his shirt pocket. He was wearing the red and orange colors of the pizza restaurant's logo; a simple t-shirt and hat, and blue jeans. Malon could see that Zelda was nervous and embarrassed, so she decided to jump in and rescue her. She took the pizza box from Zelda and turned to the pizza boy, "Thank you." She said smiling. He

smiled back, "You're welcome. Enjoy your pizza." Then he turned and walked back to his car, in which he got in and drove away. Malon shut the door behind him and looked at the other two.

"Whew! Talk about a wild encounter!" She grinned and looked at Zelda, who was sitting on the couch with her face buried in her hands. "What's wrong with you? So what if you were a little clumsy? You need practice with cute guys so you will be more comfortable around them." Malon demanded, putting her hands on her hips.

"Cute? He wasn't cute, he was HOT!" Ruto exclaimed, jumping up and waving

herself dramatically with her hands. "I think I'm in love!"

Malon glared at Ruto, then looked back to Zelda and sat beside her on the couch.

"Why did I have to go and do something stupid?" Zelda whined, "I wish I had just talked to him, and learned his name or something. But now he's gone, so now I'll never see him again. There goes that chance."

"Cheer up. I'm sure there's something we can do." Malon thought for a second,

then smiled, "I've got it! We'll just order another pizza tomorrow, and maybe he'll be the one to deliver it again."

Zelda frowned, "Then he'll think I'm just a pizza-eating pig."

Malon shrugged, "Sometimes you have to take risks in order to get hooked up with somebody. Besides, if you don't do anything, you definitely won't get another chance. Think about it okay?"

The three friends began to sit around the couch and eat their pizza. The whole time, Ruto was running her mouth about how much she wanted to go out with the delivery boy.

"What are you talking about Ruto?" Malon scolded. "You don't even know the guy. He could be a total jerk for all you know." She was annoyed that Ruto didn't seem to have considered that this could be Zelda's chance and not hers.

Later, Malon yawned and said, "I'm gonna go to bed. Got a big date tomorrow,

remember?" She chuckled, talking about her and Sheik.

"Oh that's right. Well, we don't want you to be all tired for Skeiky-boy, so

make sure you get some rest, 'kay?" Ruto said giggling. "I think I'll go to bed too anyway." She added before going into her room. Zelda sighed and lay back on the couch tiredly. Now that she was alone she could actually think logically about a way to meet up with the delivery boy again.

After a few minutes of pondering, she gave up. "Why do I even bother? Even if I ever do see him again, the only thing he'll remember me as is a big dufus!" She thought angrily. "He really was cute though..." Her mind began to wander back to the very instant she saw the handsome boy standing at the door, with his gorgeous azure eyes and soft flaxen hair. She also remembered his pleasant voice and suddenly had the desire to hear it again. It was then that she came to the decision:

She would order another pizza!
