Aha! Hello dear friends. I usually go by the name Yen, but, enough about me there's a story to be writen! Lemme know if my writting is satifactory or if it needs improvement. I used to write Vocaloid stories, although I never finished either project I started and ended up losing the files for the chapters I had typed up so I, allthough begrudgingly, abandoned both account and stories. I'm currently sick with nothing else to do and I made this account last night in an attempt to take up writing again... But I will prevail! Probably not. Bah, here I am rambling! Sorry! To the story!
Ladies and Gentlemen
I present the first chapter of
"Life is hard, Let's live it together"
"Who's the New Girl?"
Links POV
I gently stroked the long, elegant feathers of the bird sitting infront of me. I've always liked birds, never knew why, but I always liked them...
"Such beauty surely can't be matched..." I said aloud, still stroking the hawk perched in it's cage. We were on a trip to the zoo for our biology class. We were supposed to be studying how the animals behaved in close proximity to humans, but I couldn't help but admire them instead of jotting down notes.
"Mr. Hurot, are you taking notes? Or are you going to play with that bird all day?" my biology teacher slightly yelled from her spot on a nearby bench; a scowl addorning her features.
"Sorry Mrs. Simmons... I-... Erm... These birds seem to react well to human interaction, eh?" I chuckled slightly. Smooth Link. Smooth. I started jotting down notes while examined the bird further. Although eventually I stopped and continued to admire the bird instead. I flinched a bit when a hand landed on my shoulder lightly.
"Hey, what'cha doin' there bird-boy?" the firey haired teen chirped, laughing slightly at her new nickname for me.
I scoffed in return, "C'mon now Midna, think of something more original next time," slightly chuckling myself.
She stuck her tongue out in return while pulling down the top of her right cheek, slightly exposing the redish flesh under her eye. She then walked over and crouched beside me, motioning towards the hawk, "Beatiful, isn't it?" she said, offering her hand to the rather large bird.
"I think I figured that out long before you waltzed over there Firefly," I muttered putting emphasis on the newfound nickname. Her hair always had a certain sparkle to it. Every time I made a comment about it, she'd always shake her head playfuly, swearing that I was high on some sort of drug.
"I swear, every time I see you, you always mention my hair. How's it look today? Is the LSD making it sparkle again?" she giggled shoving my arm playfuly, making me lose my balance nearly taking a tumble to the hard concrete of the zoo's sidewalk.
"I'm not on LSD!" I yelled trying to regain my balance; a smile on my face.
"Miss Twili, if you would please not bother Mr. Hurot, that'd be great. While you may be done with your notes, he's obviously just starting, even though we've been here for nearly an hour." Ms. Simmons chimmed in, hovering over me as I tried to regain my balance.
Midna simply nodded and walked off after waving. She went straight for our other friends who were all sitting on a bench on the other side of the koala exhibit. She sat down to one of her friends. 'What was her name again..? Sulda..? Delta..? Or was it Zelda? She is rather cute...' I thought to myself. I shook the thought from my head. 'I like Trish... Not the new girl... Hell I don't even know her!' I found myself staring at the new girl and I believe she noticed; seeing as she was slightly blushing, brushing aside a golden strand of hair from her face. I quickly looked away and continued working until it was time to leave.
I stood up from where I was crouched down near the bear exhibit. I clicked the pen I had in my head and shoved it into the pocket of my black and neon green hoodie with a black triforce across the chest and a symble of the goddes on the back in black aswell. Patricia waked by with her friend, Katlen. They were laughing as they walked at some joke unknown to me. She paid no mind to me as they walked by and I quickly ran to catch up with her.
"Hey Bubbles, hey Katlen," I gasped, slightly out of breath.
"Don't call me that!" Trish laughed making her turn a little red. "Well then what would you like me to call you?" I said with a smirk..
"Just call me Trish!'' She said with a small laugh. She's so beautiful... Her crazy hair is only matched by that of her soft, sing-song sort of voice. She brushed back a blond locke from her eyes while looking at me.
"Alright alright, Bubbles," I said with a wink. Katlen hit me on the arm saying, ''Leave her alone, Link!"
"l-o-v-e is just another word I never learned to pronounce..." someone sang from behind me. I turned to see the new girl with ear buds in her ears. Her voice was rather beautiful... She noticed me staring again. I waved to Trish and Katlen and hung back to walk next to her. She pulled out an ear bud and turned to me, "You've been staring at me alot today... Is there something on my face or..?"
"Hah, no. There's not wrong with your face. I just never noticed you, new girl. So what's your name?" I said with a chuckle.
"Zelda. I sit next to you in lit." she said with a dazzling smile. I think my heart just melted.
"You're staring again..." she said nervously, a blush on her cheeks.
"Oh shit, sorry..." I said with a blush creeping onto my cheeks aswell. We walked in an awkward silence until we reached the bus. I climbed up onto the bus and found a seat near the back next to my friend, Sheik.
"Sup man, I saw you checking out the new girl, you got a thing for blondes, eh?" He said after we bumped fists. He was right, I do love a good blond girl...
"Yeah, I guess she's alright...'' I lied. She was beautiful. I guess It's either Trish or her. I doubt they feel like sharing... I'll figure it out later. Too early to be trying to figure it out right now...
"Uh huh. ' alright' you're horible at lying, Link." Sheik said with a smirk. He's right, I suck at lying.
"What ever man, I'm just gonna listen to some music and take a nap; lemme know when we get back to the school..." I muttered as I took out my ipod and headphones. I closed my eyes while listening to some Dirty Heads.
Zelda's POV
I found myself staring at him again. He is just so cute... His long blond hair fell around his shoulders while he slept, head leaned against the window of the bus. He asked me my name earlier! I wonder if he likes me... Ohhhh... He had a weird smell around him while we were walking to the bus. I think I smelled it in an alleyway one time downtown... No, there's no way he does any form of drug... He's just so calm! 'Ugh, calm your self Zel. He's just another classmate...' I thought to myself while shaking my head profusly.
"What'cha doin' there Zel?" Midna asked from beside me. She must have noticed me staring at him again...
"O-oh! N-n-nothing..." I stammered... Smooth Zel. Smooth.
Midna giggled as I sat there blushing with my head cast towards to floor of the bus. "You really are bad at lying there Zelda. So what or who were you staring at?" she said with a smirk.
"N-n-n-nothing! I-I swear!" I stammered again. I really should learn english some day. It'd be nice to know how to speak without stuttering like an idiot.
Midna burst out laughing, leaving me sitting there looking at her confused. "What..?" I muttered with confusion, a blush creeping across my face.
"You're too cute, Zellie," Midna said with a large smile.
"Woah now! Down girl!" Saria said from the seat infront of us. She was sitting on her knees backwards in the seat, her head popping over the top of her seat. Midna just stuck her tongue out at her. I laughed in return, holding my hand over my mouth in an attempt to stiffle the laugh.
"So, I'm not the only one that noticed Zel here staring at Link most of the day, eh?" Saria said with a smirk. Of course she had to say this while I was staring at him again... Damn you Saria!
"Nope, I'm pretty sure Bird-boy was oblivious to her up until the end, though," Midna said with a chuckle.
I crossed my arms and put my headphones in my ears. I hit the small button on the top of my ipod and clicked the song titled, 'Starstrukk''. This is one of my favorite songs ever... I closed my eyes and sunk into my seat, losing myself in the music and I slowly drifted to sleep.
"Oh Zelda... ZELDA!"
I woke with my friend shaking me from my slumber. I looked around to see the bus empty except me and Midna.
"... How long was I out for?' I yawned groggily, rubbing my eyes. I pulled my phone out and looked at the time... Shit. It's almost 12:30.
"Almost an hour. I'm suprised you slept for so long," Midna said with a laugh.
"Where's Link? I want Liiiiink" I said before I realized what I was saying. Midna just laughed and laughed. I blushed a color somewhere between mars and blood red. I fanned my face trying to make the head die back down.
"You're too cute, Zelda. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your crush," She said with a wink. "C'mon, let's get to class," She said, standing up.
"But I wanna sleeeeep," I whinned with a pout. This is fun.
Midna just sighed and grabbed my arm forcing me to my feet. "C'mon now little one, let's get to class," she said with a laugh.
"Fiiiine mom I'm gooinng!'' I exclaimed a bright smile on my face.
Link's POV
She was late to class. probably fell asleep on the bus and didn't bother to wake up for class. Lazy bum. While she may be cute, she really doesn't care about being on time it seems .She walked in with Firefly in tow. I pulled ot my iPhone 4s and pulled up my text messages. I sent a text to Sheik, who was in algebra right now,
To: Sheik
From:Link
New girl finally decided to come to class an hour late. haha
I pressed the green 'send' next to the message bar and turned off the device, easing it back into my pocket without the teacher noticing. I brushed back a few strands of hair behind my right ear, leaving my hair over my left ear. I left it that way to cover the ear bud that was in my left ear. I always did this so I could drown out all the other students that were whooping and hollering. I looked back down at the peice of papper sitting on my desk. I stared at the questions without knowing the answers. Luckily they were multiple choice.
The first question read: 1. Which animal had more training? (You should have read the plaque at each exhibit)
A. Hawk
B. Koala
C. Bear
D. Lion
I quickly circled the first one; A. Hawk. Hawks mut be highly trained to be as calm as that one was. I kept doing qestions like this until i eventually just fell asleep.
Finally the dismissal bell rang and we were free to go do what ever until we either left in our cars, or were picked up by our parents. I was one of the few lucky ones to have a presentable ride. And it surely was. I had a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that was a semi-gloss black with pearl white tribal patterns on the hood and sides. It had the original engine in as apposed to some people who took out the original 327 small block V8 out and jammed some big-ass retard engine into them and then throw massive racing slicks on the back and you can't get the thing out of 3rd gear without doing 100 MPH. Sorry, rambling on about idiots that take cars and ruin them. Anyways I started my car, whiched grabbed the attention of everyone in the parking lot seeing as it didn't have a muffler, and pulled out of the parking lot of my school. I went down the front of the school reving the engine really high as I passed Sheik and his little group of friends.
He jumped in astonishment and then raised his hand with the middle finger raised, his face was twisted into a scowl. I just laughed.
I saw the new girl standing by herself on the side walk. I was feeling nice so I stopped and got out.
"Hey, need a ride?" I said motioning towards my car as I walked towards her. She looked at me with a hint of pink on her cheeks.
"U-u-uh, y-yes please..." She stuttered, obviously nervous. I grabbed her hand and her face instantly went red as a tomato.
"What's wrong?" I asked with a smirk on my face. I opened the passenger door and motioned for her to get in. Behind me I heard Sheik yell, "Go Link! Go for it!'' He then wolf whistled and clapped before he started laughing uncontrolably. I just shook my head as the new girl sat down in the car quietly, face getting redder by the second.
"Listen to this," I said with a rather large smile on my face. I switched the gear shifter to neutral and started the car and reved it up a few times.
"Wow Link, your car is really cool!" she said, admiring the black and lime green interior; a wild smile on her face.
"Thanks, this thing a pain in the ass to fix up," I said as I put the car into first gear and pulled away from the sidewalk.
"So," I began as we pulled up to the exit of the school, "Where to?'' I said, motioning to the left and right.
"Right. Keep going that way until you see a small church then take a left-" she said, but I cut her off "Woah woah woah, just lemme know as we go," I laughed.
"Alright, sounds good to me,'' she said, flashing her dazzling smile again.
I pulled out and took a right shifting into second gear as I watched the spedometer rise from from the 1 to the 5 and then shifted into third gear. I looked at Zelda and she had rolled down the window, and had taken her hair down from her ponytail. She was letting her beautiful golden hair fly out the window.
We were going down a pretty long and straight road.
"How fast do you think my car can go?" I asked with a smirk. She looked over at me, thought for a moment, and then said, "120 Miles per hour.''
"Have you ever been that fast in a car before?'' I asked, an idea creeping itself into my mind.
"No..." she said with a slight look of worry on her face. I kicked the gear shifter in fourth gear and punched the throttle watching the spedometer rise. All I could hear was her laughing and the engine. I shifted into the final gear. I looked at the spedometer as I almost had the petal to the floor, it read 150 Mph. I turned to look at her.
"150 Miles per hour!'' I yelled to her. She looked at me with a huge smile on her beautiful face. I couldn't help but smile back.
She yelled back, "Holy crap this is awesome!" I started to slow down and shifted back down into third gear. I had a feeling we left her turn back in the dust. I started to see smoke rise from my engine.
"Shit shit shit shit!" I yelled as I slowly breaked and pulled off to the right. Zelda looked at me with scared eyes, "Whats wrong Link?''
"Went to fast and she's starting to overheat!" I exclaimed, worry spread across my face as I stopped the car and popped the hood. I got out and let Zelda out before she could let herself out. Even in times of emergency, gotta be a gentleman. I opened the hood and examined the engine. "Just got a little hot, phew," I said in relief, wiping my brow. She looked at me from beside the car, a look of guilt on her face, "I'm sorry for making you overheat your car... You said you worked really hard on it..." She said as a tear slid down her cheek.
"No no no. Dry your eyes new girl, it's not your fault. I'm the one that wanted to. This is the first time I've gotten it over 90." I said with a laugh, walking over to her, putting my hand on her shoulder as I looked into her beautiful sky-blue eyes.
"R-really? Oh..." she said as she wiped her eyes with the sleve of her pink jacket. Suddenly she pulled me closer to her and wrapped her arms around my back. I gasped in surprise which made her flinch a little bit. I returned the hug and we stood there for awhile. Quite a sight, really. Two teenagers hugging on the side of the road next to a Camaro with the hood open and smoking.
I slowly let go of her, looking down at her. She looked happy, and flashed her amazing smile to me. "Thank you for that," she said, smiling. "I-... Er... Yeah... For what exactly?" I said confused by her words.
"For the hug! Silly!," she said exclaimed with a laugh. I sighed and turned back around to look at my car. "Seems fine now. Shall we?" I said to Zelda, who was leaning against the passenger fender of my car. "We shall," she said with a giggle and walked to the door. I rushed over to open the door for her.
"You're awefully nice. Is there something you want or something? Where I'm from, people aren't usually this nice," she said with a suspicious look.
"Well, where are you from there new girl?'' I said with a chuckle. She thought for a moment before finally answering me, "I'm from New York."
"The big apple, eh? Well there's your reason. Welcome to the south. The small town charm we have here in South Georgia comes from our ability to help people without wanting anything in return." I told her with a smirk. So, she's from New York. Must be a big difference, Hah. I shut the door behind her after she climbed into the vehicle, then walked around and shut the hood on the car. I climbed into the car myself at this point and put the key in the ignition.
"Here goes nothing, eh?" I say with a hopeful look. She nods and crosses her fingers. I laugh and turn the key.
-Nyaaang nyaaang nyaaaaaang-
No dice. I look over at Zelda with a worried look. "Is it gonna start, Link?'' she said with a worried look of her own. I tried again.
-Nyaaaang nyaa Vroooom!-
"There we go! Good girl, now just get my friend here home and then I'll get us home," I say stroking the dash board above the spedometer's. That earned a giggle from Zelda, "You're so silly!' she exclaimed, still laughing.
She's just so beautiful. Her eyes are that perfect shade of blue... Her hair is golden-blonde and flows around her as if she had her own wind on her at all times... And he smile... God, don't even get me started...
"Let's get you home, city girl," I said with a smirk, earning a light punch to the arm. "Actually," she started, "Is there anyway I could stay with you for tonight?" She had a cute sort of pleading look on her face. But I live by myself because my parents died tragically a couple years ago. "Ehh, I live by myself... are you sure? I mean, it's fine by me. It gets kind'a lonely in that house by myself..." I trailed off.
"Yeah. I'm sure," she said with a bigger smile.
There you go! Chapter one of my new story! Don't forget to review and let me know how this chapter came out. I sat in bed all day listening to music and writing this... Soooooooo yeah xD anyways i'll probably keep going by the name Yen. But eh, I dunno yet. lememh lone lol. Let me know if you like it, have something you think I could change to make it better, or just generally let me know what you think!
*EDIT!* So, I went back through and revised this whole thing and noticed I had a plot conflict with the Hylian backstory and Zelda being from New York... I just took out most of the first paragraph and removed any Hylian references... Soo, this will only use Zelda characters, and maybe a couple bits from the Hylian backstory itself... but other than that it'll be a straight-forward high school story.
