The blond lie in his bed, alarm clock blaring, reading '6:30 a.m.'.The teen smacked the alarm clock's snooze button while muttering "Too . . . early." He heard a noise coming from his window. The boy lifted his tired body from the bed to his window, opened the window and looked out. No sooner had he stuck his head out the window was the boy hit in the head with a small pebble. "Oww! What the hell?!" He looked around angrily, and noticed a head of flaming hair. "Roy? What the hell was that for!"
"Had to wake you up some way buddy!" the the red head shouted from the sidewalk below. "Now come on! School starts in a half hour!"
"Then why do I need to be awake now?! Its only a five minute walk to the school." he responded, regaining composure.
"Because if we're lucky, we might be able to see the end of cheer leading practice." Roy stated calmly.
"Why Roy! You sly dog, I shall be down momentarily!" with that, the blond threw on his trademark green shirt, along with some old jeans and his shoes. He grabbed his books from his desk and ran downstairs. "Bye mom! Bye dad! See ya tonight!" he was out the door before they could respond. "Alright! Ready! Let's go!" he began walking ahead of the other male.
"Wow Link, a new record. You were down in 30 seconds flat!" Roy shouted.
"Well you gave me major inspiration to speed it up." Link said with a large grin.
"Please! You just wanna go be the pimp you are with the entire cheer squad." Roy said while poking Link's arm.
"I'm no pimp, they just all like me." Link said none challantly.
"And you've dated all of them at least twice. And made out with each of them on each date." Roy said while looking away.
"Your point?" Link said, confused.
"Never mind."
The rest of the commute to school was nothing special, just the usual morning questions of 'how are you?' and 'sleep well?' and the such. They arrived at school through their normal entrance, the back of the gym. And they were in luck, the cheer leaders were still practicing. Link and Roy were walking across the gym and sat down on the bleachers, and waited to be noticed. Their "patience" was soon rewarded when one girl with silvery hair walked to them.
"Hello boys." she said in a girly almost air headed tone.
"Ruto." the boys answered in unison.
"What brings you two to the gym so early in the morning? School is no where near about to begin." Ruto answered in a different tone. She took a sip of water from a nearby bottle.
"Is it really that early? I hadn't noticed." Roy answered innocently.
"Oh your lies are so transparent, and yet your so cute when you do it." Ruto said, tilting Roy's chin up to look at her. Roy's face was graced with a light shade of pink. "Still so cute." she lightly kissed his cheek and continued her conversation with the boys, Roy holding his cheek the whole time. "Well, I should probably go back to practice, we need to get this routine down soon, or we'll never make state, see ya guys later!" she waved as she headed back to the group of girls.
"Roy, you can relax any time you want to." Link said looking at the red head with his hand still on his blushing face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, hehe." Roy rubbed the back of his neck and grinned sheepishly. "By the way, have you decided which one you'll be going steady with yet?"
"What are you talking about you walking strawberry?" Link said, looking at the younger male.
"Who are you gonna start dating seriously? Saria? Or Malon?" Roy asked. There was a long silence.
"I don't know if I'll be picking either one." Link said while looking down.
"Seriously? Why? You've been looking at them since we started hanging out back in the fifth grade." Roy said turning to his friend. "Then who are you interested in now?"
"Well, I guess its the council president." Link said turning to Roy and smiling.
"Zelda?! Shes the councilman's daughter! Do you honestly think she'll go for you?" said Roy.
"I know, but no one said I couldn't dream, right?" Link responded.
"I guess not. I'm just saying, you probably got no chance." Roy said with a childish grin.
"Gee, thanks for the vote of encouragement Roy!" Link shouted sarcastically. Their conversation continued in a different direction for a short time, and the bell rang.
"Well, time to start heading to class I guess." Roy said standing from the bleachers, letting the cheer squad pass through the door before him "Ladies first." he held open the door, smiling all the while.
"You smile a lot." Link said, blandly walking past Roy.
"Its better than scowling all the time, isn't it?" Roy said, sticking his tongue out at the older teen.
"Shut up. I don't scowl all the time." Link retorted. Link hadn't been paying attention to where he was going and he ran into a girl with long golden hair. Both teens fell backwards dropping their respective things. "Oh! I'm sorry, I guess I really wasn't paying attention to where I was going." Link looked up and noticed who it was he ran into, the student council president.
"Its quite alright, I wasn't really paying much attention either. I'm terribly sorry for making you drop your things. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble." she said politely.
"Oh, no, no trouble at all Madam President." Link responded politely.
"I'd prefer you don't call me that, its far to formal for my tastes, just call me Zelda please?"
"Um, sure Mada-, I mean Zelda. Need any help?" Link asked handing her a folder.
"No, its quite alright, I'm fine. Well, my friends are here. I guess, I'll see ya around? Bye." Zelda walked towards her friends, who were across the main lobby from where Link and Roy currently stood.
"Who are her friends anyway?" Link asked looking at Roy.
"Let's see, that one is Peach, daughter of the ambassador, that's Ralis, the Zora domain's ambassador's son, Saria and Malon, co-captains of the cheer squad, and Marth, boyfriend." Roy said pointing at each individual.
"Wait? Ralis? Isn't that Ruto's brother?" Link asked
"Adoptive brother. Shes technically the ambassador's daughter, but since she was adopted, she doesn't get as much attention as her older brother."
"Well that sucks, speaking of the little mermaid, hey Ruto." Link said waving to said girl.
"Hello boys." she responded. She glanced in Roy's direction and he blushed while quickly looking away. Ruto let out a small giggle.
"Hey, Ruto, Ralis is your brother correct?" Link asked.
"Unfortunately. The boy seriously needs to stop living off the press, he can't go somewhere without at least one member of a magazine following him."
"Interesting. So, ready to go to class my friends!" Roy said, slinging his arms over their shoulders and walking them toward their class. "So Link, gonna tell Ruto what you told me earlier?"
"Tell me what? Does it have to do with if hes finally gonna go steady with one of those girls?" Ruto asked looking at the boy in green.
"It kinda does. I'm not gonna date either one." Link said looking ahead of him.
"What?! You've been eyeing those girls for at least five years, your telling me your just gonna drop them like that?" Ruto asked surprised.
"I'm intrested in the councilmen's daughter." Link replied blandly. Ruto walked quietly for a short moment.
"Oh, well she is prettier than them, it makes sense. I hope things go well." she said in a calm caring voice.
"We must part ways now my friends! I'll see you guys after history!" Roy said happily, walking down the hall.
"See ya!" they answered walking into their biology class. The bell rang and their school day began.
