Figure It Out As You Go
Prologue
He was a bit of a trouble maker. He skipped classes, spray painted graffiti on the school walls, and was barely passing. He was 17, turning 18 in November, a junior in high school. He was fairly smart, but he was passing with all C's and D's for the sole reason that he didn't put much effort into school work. His name was Link Forester.
Link's home life was not the best. His father, a bad tempered drunk, was never happy with him or his mother. Jacob was a cruel man, having frequent outbursts, and hardly ever not violent. The slightest thing would set him off.
He hated Link with a bloody passion, and only ever kept him around to torment him. But he was starting to lose his grip on both Link and his mother, which made it even harder to control his temper.
Link's mother, on the other hand, is almost the opposite. Alex was kind hearted and would do anything to keep Link in a house and fed. She would apply for multiple jobs and would sometimes stay awake for the whole 24 hours of a day to keep their small mobile home in their possession, as Jacob refused to get a job of his own. Alex was fairly young, for having a 17 year old son at 32 years old, for the reason she had Link when she was 15. For this, Alex's family completely cut all ties with her, except for her sister, Violet, who helped out from time to time.
Link had 3 best friends: Roy Firego, Marth Royalle, and Sheik Swifts. Roy was the destructive and obnoxious one, and was really hyper about anything even slightly interesting that happened. He had unnaturally bright red hair, though he never dyed it, and dark blue eyes. Marth tended to edge away from trouble and always kept his wits about him, and used strategy to find his way out of sticky situations. Marth bears dark blue hair, and has very deep, dark sapphire eyes. Sheik was quiet, but often put his opinion into a discussion if he felt it was needed. He was a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do and was notorious for unintentionally sneaking up on people. He had sandy-blonde hair, tanned skin, and blood-red eyes.
Zelda was very beautiful. She had long light blonde hair that ran down to her waist. Her peach skin only made her radiant, light blue-violet eyes stand out more. Zelda's gorgeous looks matched her personality. She was very kind and intelligent, and stood up for herself and others. She refused to be taken advantage of and worked hard for what she wanted.
Link was a exceptionally good-looking guy. He was tall and lean, yet still quite muscular. His shaggy golden blonde hair was almost always covering his brilliant, deep-azure eyes and never seemed to be quite kept. Despite his reputation as a trouble-maker, Link was a calm and gentle person, especially once you got to know him. He treated other people with respect, as long as they treated him the same way. Link had picked up a temper from his father, though, but it usually took a deep offence to set it off. He took insults to people he cares about more seriously than insults to his own being and was not afraid to object to any thing he found unjust or not fair.
Link and the Principal, Mr. Ross, were arch enemies. Link liked to tease and aggravate the stuffy principal with the smallest of things and Ross would yell and shout or assign detention or spout out the occasional remark about Link's family. Ross had done that before, and ended up with a black eye and Link was suspended for a week.
Ross was a sour man. The only things he found amusing were his own snide remarks. He was a very prideful man who wouldn't admit to being wrong and he often refused to listen to anyone else, for he was the principal, and he was in charge here.
This is Breton, Texas. Year 2009. The story starts in late September, about a month after school began.
