"Face it already Zel, if you can't do this then you can't come tonight."
"But I don't see what going to the party tonight has to do with-"
"It's not the action I'm telling you to do it's me, taking on your older brother and doing you the favor of convincing him to let you go to the party with us." The sandy haired boy finished and leaned back against the wall crossing his arms. He grinned cockily at the smaller blonde in front of him. He knew she would do it, he had faith in her, and of course he would advocate for her, but this was an opportunity too good to pass up. Zelda was too fun to mess with.
The blonde lifted her arm and rested her hand on her hip, while sending a cold glare at the arrogant boy. Goddesses he was so annoying! Why did he have to be so mean and arrogant and cocky and….cool. Even his pose screamed look at me I ooze awesome. She hated it. Being cool was one thing, being cool and knowing it was another, but being cool and knowing it then openly expressing how awesome you are it was ….ugh she turned and faced the door again. If she did what he said, he would convince Sheik to take her to the party with them. She took a deep breath then a step forward. One foot in front of the other…
She entered the room and looked around…goddesses did it smell disgusting in here. Was this pungent odor the natural smell or was it because the rumors were true and boys were as gross as she figured they were. Pride started to swell in her chest. Ha. Take that Link. She had done it. Before she could go in any farther, physically or in her mental rant; she felt herself get pulled back roughly by the bottom of her shirt. In a flash she found herself behind the garbage can in the cubby hole within the boy's restroom, Link's hand covering mouth.
She tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp, he gripped tighter. How the hell did he slide behind her so fast? Why did he have her like this? she looked up at the blonde boy and felt heat rise to her face. He was so close…she needed to move away. Problem was the more she wiggled the tighter he held.
"Listen!" he hissed in her ear.
She quit her wiggling and listened closely. She heard footsteps approaching, fast. The footsteps grew louder; right outside the door. The two held their breath as the door swung open and brought an image of feet that went with the ominous footsteps.
The two looked up and saw it was Onox, dean of discipline. He made his way over to one of the urinals. Chills went up Zelda's spine, if she was found here, she would recieve a week of detention…maybe more and if Link was found with her…then there would be no saving her…she would get expelled no doubt.
Link let out a slow quiet breath. He felt Zelda shiver, and realized he had done it on her neck. He smirked; she was sensitive, a new way to play with her. He quickly wiped the thought from his mind. There would be time for that later. For now he had to rescue her from the bathroom without her getting caught. A pair of feet approached the trashcan.
Link looked up hoping it was someone he knew. He saw red hair hanging in front the face. What luck! He shot his hand out and tapped the leg of the boy. Looking down surprised a pair of bright green eyes met his blue ones. Ralph. The red headed boy tilted his head to the side in confusion. Link moved his arm slightly removing the shield he had created, to reveal a horrified looking Zelda.
The red head bit his lip trying not to laugh. Link tapped his leg again to capture his attention. He mouthed "distract him" and pointed to Onox. Ralph rolled his eyes and shot Link a look that clearly meant you WILL owe me one for this. A resounding flush echoed throughout the tiled room and Link ducked back into his hiding place pressing Zelda further out of view again. Another boy walked out of one of the stalls. Goddesses, how many guys were in here?
Ralph exited the bathroom. Time seemed to travel in slow motion as they waited for Ralph to pull through for them. Minutes later a loud crash was heard, echoing throughout the school. Link stifled his laughter behind his hand. Zelda looked at him her wide amethyst eyes full of shock. What did the crazy red head do? Onox looked quickly to the door and then down. He sighed and flushed the urinal before he rushed out it. Several moments passed before Link cautiously pushed Zelda off him and into the hole further. He stood and walked from his hidey hole. He investigated the rest of the bathroom and saw it was empty.
He walked to the door and opened it peering out around the side to see if the coast was clear. No one as well. A crackly woman's voice came on over the intercom.
"New announcement to all teachers and students. The western staircase will be closed for the rest of the school day. Sorry for the inconvenience." Link listened and nodded in approval. Trust Ralph to fix obstacles quick and superbly. He would need to ask the red head later what he did. He whispered into the bathroom for Zelda to come out.
Cautiously the girl came out from behind the trashcan. She walked up behind Link who led her out of the bathroom and down the hallway to the eastern staircase. They began their ascension upstairs to the library where Zelda was supposed to be having a free period. Link had been skipping when Zelda had seen him walking down the hallway. They reached the library and peered through the window. Kourme was on duty today. Zelda cringed. While the woman was old, she was ruthless. There was no way she would let Zelda in without a pass. The bell rang ten minutes ago.
She sighed and readied herself for punishment. Link laid a hand on her shoulder and winked.
"I got this." Zelda looked at him confused. Got what?
Leading her to the door he entered and approached Kourme. The old hag looked up at the boy and rolled her eyes.
"Ah well if it isn't Link. Not making trouble I hope young man?" Link smiled charmingly at the woman.
"Awe, Kourme. Me? Trouble? I'm injured and offended you would think such a negative thought of me!" Link said in mock hurt. The woman gave him a skeptical look, and caved. The boy did have a dazzling smile. She chuckled.
"No, of course not, but really dear what is it you want? Don't you need to be in class?" Seeing her chance while the old woman was distracted, Zelda made her way inside the library quietly, going all the way to back like she had been there all along.
"Can't I want to see you? It has been a while…" Link's charming voice grew fainter the farther she moved from him. Did the boy not have any shame? She felt slightly sick inside from the boy's show. She retreated to the back and took a book from the shelf. She felt tired from the fade of adrenaline. And gross. She had realized that something had been on the floor of that restroom, something that smelled appalling and now had scented her. She started to gag from the idea of what it could be. She stopped herself and held her breath. Now was not the time to freak. School was almost over, she would go straight home and shower. Then it would be like it never happened.
She stared at her book she had picked up to be, inconspicuous. Hyrule: A History. The title read proudly. The blonde made a face. Who wrote crap like this…? She sighed and opened the book, attempting to concentrate on it instead of the terrible odor encasing her body. Only twenty minutes left.
Link continued to stand up at the desk and dazzle the tiny librarian. This woman was known for being quite evil, if you don't play her right. Out of the corner of his eye he had seen Zelda make her way to the back of the library and then vanish out of sight. He felt bemused at the small girl's near freak out. He wondered what would be in store for him later on as payback. The signal bell for the end of school echoed through the quiet halls. Link flashed his sexy smile at the tiny old woman.
"It was amazing seeing you ma'am but I have to head home now. Don't worry though I'll be back sometimes soon." He winked at the woman. The woman shooed him away cackling to herself saying he was such a trouble maker. Link smirked again and exited through the door.
He stood leaning against the wall across from the library door. He figured this would be a good spot to wait for Sheik and Ralph to show.
Zelda was the last to exit the library. She wanted to be noticed as little as possible the last possible thing she needed was-
"Zelda!" a high pitched shriek came from down the hall. That. The last thing she needed was her nosy best friends coming to find her and make sure she was well. She tensed her body ready for the impact. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her. A tight hug soon followed. For a person of small stature Saria had a lot of strength. Turning Zelda gave her friend a weak smile. She met her bright blue eyes that were shining with happiness and felt a little better. Saria had a nice happy effect like that.
She leaned to the right and peered around the green haired girl. She found Malon, Ruto, and Navi all pretty much lined up behind Saria. She imagined they all had been found much the same way she had. She looked each girl up and down studying them. Upon further observation she saw they all looked rather tired and wanted to go home. Fridays did that to you. So her shower was in no danger.
"Hey Saria, Hey…Everyone else…" she said peering around Saria looking at the line of people. Malon smiled big and ran to glomp Zelda. The blonde tried to back off before the red head made full impact but failed and was once again tightly squeezed into a hug. The other girls waved and smiled at Zelda. She sighed now her shower would be postponed.
"Hey Zel what are you doing today?" Malon asked eagerly. Zelda perked up more. An opening to escape…or was it a trap? She decided to take her chance.
"Going home and taking a shower. I had an unfortunate incident happen to me today and I feel dirty." Saria opened her mouth to ask what the blonde had meant when she had been interrupted by an incredibly thrilled Ruto.
"Speaking of incidents, do you guys know why the staircase was closed?" she smiled eager for replies, clearly knowing the answer. Everyone shook their heads and waited in silence. Finally after figuring she wouldn't say anything without proper answer, Navi spoke up.
"Why was it closed off?" the blue haired girl said dully. She stared at the expectant girl. Ruto smiled brightly.
"The Janitor was, taking a rolling cart of paint to work on a classroom you know, that one that had been destroyed "mysteriously", no real mystery in that we all know who did it, anyway, he turned around for a moment and when he turned back the cart was rolling down the steps with the paint splattering everywhere! It was a royally wicked mess…goddesses I'd hate to be him. So sad for Mr. Janitor man" Ruto giggled behind her hands and flipped her aqua hair. Clearly she felt no pity for Mr. Janitor man. Zelda thought about it for a moment coming to a realization and felt a wave of amusement pass through her. So that's what Ralph did. She wondered how he pulled it off.
At that moment Navi's younger siblings chose to come running down the hallway. The twins were a interesting twosome who acted like toddlers in the bodies of 8 year olds, when they were as a matter of fact eleven years old. They two were identical in every way except gender, with short blonde hair and slender, frail bodies. They took every opportunity offered to them to make trouble. Blue eyes glowing with mischief, they ran right by the group of girls. Navi turned to ask them what they were up to, suspicious of their presence in the high school building. Moments later the answer became clear.
"Come back here you two little brats! Don't think for a second I won't beat the shit out of you! I don't care who you are, or how old for that matter." A beefcake of a man turned the corner down the hall. Navi narrowed her deep blue eyes and huffed. Pushing her hair out of her face she started toward the boy. She always had to bail the twins out of trouble. In the blink of an eye the human meat cake was on the floor completely confused and aggravated. He started sputtering a slur of profanities till he looked up and saw the towering figure that had pushed him down.
Out of the shadows he crept and with a sinister cackle the student leered over the fallen boy. He was lanky and had his hands stuffed in his pockets. Clad in a bright red hooded jacket, it was one that zipped all the way up masking his true face. To all those passing, he was truly the villain in this scenario.
"Hey there, Groose." An eerie voice came from within the darkness of the hood. Barely audible Zelda who was the closest to the aciton had to strain to hear him speak. Groose looked up angrily.
"What do you think you're doing freak? I was trying to pummel those kids, and you-" he was cut off by a swift kick to the gut.
"I stopped you form making a big mistake. Don't make it again. I will not be so generous next time." The hooded boy spun around and swiftly walked off down the hall, turning into the first hall that he came to. Giggling, the twins followed behind the boy. Zelda took careful notice in his attire and watched him walk away noting, that on the back of his jack a strange skull like symbol was centered. She tried to place the boy. Had she seen him here before?
Groose stood angrily and walked past the girls fast; hiding his pink face in a weak attempt for them to not see him embarrassed. Unfazed, Zelda continued to stare after the place the hooded boy went. She was truly bothered that she could not place him.

Link was dazed staring at the wall across from him. He was totally out of it, and his friends were currently at a loss. Sheik sighed and lightly punched his friend on the shoulder to break him out of it. God his friend was such a spazz. Link jumped, realizing that he was no longer alone.
"Hey, you okay man? You look way out of it." Sheik commented. Link wasn't the pensive type, so something had to be on the blonde's mind.
The blonde boy shook his head and gave a weak smile at the crimson eyed boy. Sheik raised his eyebrow skeptically and pushed Link towards the door.
"C'mon you , we need to find my sister so we can exit out of here and ride to my house. That party tonight is going to be awesome….pretty sure Veran's gonna be there…I bet college has been treating her well." Sheik looked off into the empty hallway sighing happily. Veran was now a college student, but she had been a transfer student when the boys had first met her. The chick was….extremely hot to say the least.
"If you're looking for Zelda, you want to turn around and go that way. She came out the other door and is standing outside the front office waiting for you." Ralph said in a low voice. The redhead was standing behind the two boys pointing behind them, indicating where to go. He had somehow managed to sneak up behind them without making a sound.
"Hey you made it." Link said. Ralph raised an eyebrow at him and started to where the girls were. Of course he made it. He was Ralph.
Zelda gasped and happily skipped to her brother in relief when she saw him. She could go home now! Feeling lighter then she had all day she hugged Sheik tightly.
"Well I'm happy to see you too Zel, why are you in such a good mood though?" Sheik looked relatively confused. Zelda smiled up happily at him.
"you're going to bring me home! That is all I want right now is to go home!" Sheik laughed and patted her head. Zelda swatted her brother's hand away. She hated that. She was not a child anymore. Grabbing her stuff she waved good bye to her friends and made her way out the door before they could chase her down. Link smiled bemused at the small girl. She was an interesting one…
They arrived at Sheik's car, accurately dubbed by Mido as the "shitacular crapmobile". It was either that or Sidney but he decided that it was too pretty of a name for the car. The car was a black color fading and peeling on both bumpers. It had rust on every piece that was metal and made this terrible sound whenever it was cold outside and needed to be driven. The car hated cold.
As crappy as Sheik's car was, none of the boys ever complained about it. Sheik was the only one willing to drive them anywhere, plus he loved his crummy car. Link sighed as he clambered in the back seat next to Ralph. He had almost forgotten the backseat law. By rule of Sheik: Zelda always s front seat because Sheik doesn't trust his two best friends. Link liked to think of himself as better than that. Like he would ever go for Zelda…all she was, was a fun game for him to play.
"This party tonight is going to be epic!" a new voice said. Link suddenly found himself squished to the side of the car.
"EPIC!" the voice sang again. Link looked over to see Mido sitting next to Ralph who was looking daggers at the smaller boy. He had entered the car uninvited and now he had intruded on their personal and limited space of the back seat.
"I cannot wait to see who shows up. Girls always look so hot at parties…not sure why…it's like they transform…" the strawberry blond began to ramble.
"it's cause their drunk. When their drunk they don't try to be perfect and instead they are people." Ralph answered the hyper boy.
"Speaking of the party tonight….Sheik I ahems have to ask you something. " Link chimed in. here goes nothing.
I hoped you enjoyed! Please go on to chapter 2 or you can you know write me a review :D I always like reading those! J
