A/N: So yeah. I thought of this idea I while back when I first head the song Cool Kids (by Echosmith), and I really wanted to write it but I couldn't figure out how to start it. Anywho~hopefully this isn't terrible. I hope it gains at least a little bit of popularity soon, and I'll update as soon as I can! Anywho~I don't own Zelda, enjoy!

PS. In the story, all the students (Fledge, Karane, Peatrice, etc.) but Link and Groose are 16. Link is 15 and Groose is 17.

Chapter 1: First Day

The young Skyloftian, Link, looked up at the tall building before him. Skyloft High School.

He sighed, and ran his fingers through his golden locks, making sure to not let his books fall from his grasp. "Here I go..."

He took a deep breath, before he took a step towards the door and hesitated. He had only been a resident of Skyloft for a week or so now, but it didn't take long for him to find out about the students on the grapevine.

He didn't know how they'd treat someone like him. A new student, a year younger than the rest of his grade, arriving in the middle of the school year...the things he'd heard about some weren't kind, but sounded very true. He didn't doubt what he had heard.

He took another deep breath. 'C'mon, Link. You can do this!'

He thought to himself, before opening the doors to the high school and as soon as he looked around the halls, he regretted it.

"No I can't, no I can't..." He mumbled again and again, pressing his back against the doors.

He held his books close to his chest, before he felt the door hit his back and knock him down. His books scattered around him and anyone watching snickered and laughed.

'Oh, goddesses...'

"Goddesses, move it kid!" He heard a voice yell in his direction.

He looked up to see a tall guy standing above him. His build was muscular, his skin was tan, his red hair was tall and his eyes...

Link blushed as he stared up at the redhead, feeling himself swoon. His homosexuality was another thing to add to his list of things for people to make fun of.

The other then kicked his thin body with his boot covered foot. "I said move, pipsqueak!"

Link then snapped out of his love struck state, and stumbled to pick up his dropped books. He then stood and moved out of the red head's way.

He and his posse only snickered and joked as they walked away.

Link let his eyes drift downward and looked around for his dropped literature book.

"Here." He heard a voice say.

Link looked up to see a guy with a dirty blonde hair and pure chocolate colored eyes handing him his lost literature book.

"Thanks." Link smiled and blushed.

The other nodded. "Sorry about Groose. He's a little...demanding, sometimes. Heh, heh."

Link only shrugged and smiled at the other, not realizing his face was still tinted pink.

"So, are you new here? I haven't seen you around and this school isn't very big."

"Yeah, lots has happened lately...I had to move up a grade, move homes, move to a new school..." Link faded into quiet chuckling, and the other chuckled with him.

"So, you don't really have any friends then, huh?" The other gave Link a sympathetic smile.

The blonde shook his head and gave a small smile back.

"Ah, well I'll be you first then, huh?"

Link smiled and chuckled again, nodding.

"I'm Fledge." The other said, reaching out a hand.

"Link." Link then shook Fledge's hand as the older gave a laugh.

"What's so funny?"

Fledge stopped his laughter and smirked. "It's just, I can tell you're not good at meeting new people. You're more red than a strawberry!"

Link smiled, embarrassed, as he looked down at his worn out boots. "Yeah...I'm not the most social..."

Fledge then shrugged, before they heard the bell ring. "Ah, there's the bell. So, you say you're moved up a grade?"

Link nodded, "Yup. I'll be in tenth grade for the rest of the year..."

"Ah, well there's one thing we've got in common."

Link smiled, before hearing the red head yell in their direction. "Fledge! What the hell are you doing over there? Come on, move it back over here!"

Fledge sighed, before turning to Link. "Well, I have to reunite with my posse. Hopefully, I'll see you around, Link."

Link smiled, a pink shade still cascaded on his face but he thought of something. "Oh!"

Fledge turned back. "Hm?"

Link's blush only grew darker. "Sorry. Uh, what did you say the red head's name was?"

"Oh, Groose?"

The blonde smiled and nodded. "Thanks."

"Why?"

Link then shrugged and smiled. "Might as well know, right?"

Fledge nodded, before waving to Link. "Good luck!"

The blonde stopped in his tracks at those words. "What?"

But as he said that, the halls were soon emptying.

"Oh, goddesses..."

Meanwhile, Fledge ran to catch up with his posse.

"Hurry up, Fledge!" Groose called behind him.

Said teen sighed. "I'm coming, I'm coming...geez..."

Fledge then reunited with the four others, Groose; a short, bluenette Cawlin; a tall, blonde, Strich; and a brunette covered in freckles, Pipit.

"What took ya so long, bud?" Pipit asked, throwing a freckled arm around his friend.

"Just chatting with the new guy and apologizing for you, red head."

Groose looked down at him and laughed. "Why? He was in my way, he should've known he was supposed to move." He scoffed. "And why'd you call me red head?"

Fledge smirked and shook his head. "Link just asked your name, is all. I guess red head was the only polite description he could come up with."

The tall, red head pushed him. "Shut up! And why does that freak need to know my name?"

Fledge shrugged.

"Hm, guess he wants to write about you in his diary, Groose." Cawlin joked, making all but Fledge crack up in laughter.

Said teen rolled his chocolate colored eyes, "Come on, guys. He was really nice."

"Yeah, well we're popular. So by the rules of high school, we win." Cawlin teased, before he, Fledge and Strich separated from Groose and Pipit to go to their first classes.

The red head and his freckled companion cracked jokes as they headed off to their first class together, literature.

As they walked, Pipit snickered. "Geez, I wish they'd stop letting kids into our grade. The hallways are full enough as it is!"

Groose rolled his eyes, as someone bumped into him. He, in turn, bumped them back, before responding. "Whatever. We'll have his head dumped in the toilet before the day's over, I'm sure."

They cracked obnoxious chuckles, before walking into the room and sitting together at a table in the back. After the classroom filled up with students, it didn't take long for their lit teacher, Professor Mido, to make his way to the front of the classroom and clap his hands loudly.

"Alright, alright. Settle down." He cleared his throat. "Now, we have a new student joining us. Um…" The teacher looked down at his clipboard. "Link?"

When no one raised their hand or stood, heads began turning. "Link?" the teacher said again, before the door to the classroom slowly opened.

The professor turned to the door to see a blonde head peeking in. His small voice spoke, "Um…is this the tenth grade literature class?"

The teacher smiled warmly at him. "It is. Are you Link?"

The blonde blushed and smiled back, before nodding. "Yes, sir. I'm sorry I'm late, these hallways are crazy long for such a small school…"

"Not a problem at all, come on in. Tell us about yourself."

Link then walked in, shut the door behind himself and stood with a red tint on his face. "Um…"

Professor Mido laughed, before putting an arm of the Hylian's shoulder. "Ah, well. I suppose not everyone's great at public speaking." He waved Link off. "I'll just say what I've been told, Link. Go ahead and find a seat."

Link nodded, before turning and looking around the class. Each seat was filled except…a seat in the back, with Pipit and Groose.

As they noticed Link walking towards them, they both sighed.

"Damn it…" Groose groaned, as Link sat with them and gave a wide smile, the red still lingering on his face.

"I told you we should've let Karane sit with us." Pipit grumbled, staring down said girl from across the room.

"Alright, so my paper says you recently moved here…you skipped grades too, ah. Very nice…" the professor said, rather quietly. "Um, would you like to add anything, Link?"

The blonde teen blushed and looked down at his wore out boots. "No, sir. There's not much else to tell…"

"Well, alright then. Let's jump right into our lesson, then. So…"

Groose and Pipit instantly turned their attention away from the teacher, and looked at the blonde next to them.

"Goddess, look at how weak he is…" Groose chuckled, pointing at Link's less than muscular arms. "And aw, look. His ears are pierced."

Pipit then stifled his laughter. "Groose, your ears are pierced."

Said red head scoffed. "Yeah, but mine represent how much of a bad boy I am. His are just girly."

Pipit shook his head, before turning his attention back to Link. "So, he moved up a grade, huh? What a dork…"

Groose laughed. "Now we've got a reason to drench him in toilet water, huh?"

"Yup." the two obnoxiously laughed, before the professor snapped in their direction.

"Boys, hush. I know you want to welcome Link, but you'll have to wait until after class!"

The red head and brunette chuckled to themselves, as Pipit mumbled, "Yeah, we'll definitely be welcoming him…"

A/N: So yeah…kind of short, sorry. I'll try and make the next chapter longer but I really want to get this story out of my brain and onto the website and hope for it to gain some popularity. Anywho~please review and follow if you liked! Love you guys! :)
