I do not own anything Zelda related. Nintendo maintains that right.

LINK'S POV

I walked through the hall way waving to my friends and went to the office where the principal had asked to meet with me. This wasn't an uncommon occurrence since I was the Student body president. I also was president of many of the extracurricular activities. Hyrule Academy was a very prestigious school. In fact, the only way I was able to attend was because I had a full archery scholarship.

I knocked on Principal Gaepora's door and was warmly welcomed by a tubby old man. Mr. Gaepora was a funny looking man. He was balding on the top of his head, and always wore black suspenders. Personally, I thought he looked like santa clause. He greeted me and I sat down in front of his desk. He also sat and said, "I would like to introduce you to a new student, Zelda Harkinian." I turned my head to see a beautiful woman in a long sleeved red dress that ran to her knees. To say she was gorgeous would be an insult to her glorious appearance. She has gorgeous curly blond hair and violet eyes?! Silently I wondered how I could have possibly missed seeing her when I stepped into the room. I smiled and walked up to her.

I extended my hand out to her and said, "Hi there, My name is Link." She looked down at my hand and back up to me and didn't say anything. Since there was no point of continuing to hold my hand out like an idiot I put it back down to my side.

Gaepora the stepped up and said, "Link, if you don't mind, I would like to have you show her around maybe telling her about the clubs too."

I nodded, I could never say no to Gaepora. He was like the father I never had; especially, when the request is as easy as showing a pretty girl around school. I stood up and turned to the girl and bowed, "It would be an honor princess." I thought I saw the corners of her mouth twitch up slightly but it soon returned to her original emotionless position.

Gaepora started to laugh and said, "Now Link, don't go making the girl fall in love with you on the first day. Also, once you escort her to her first class, please return to me."

I shook my head, and he handed me her schedule. I grabbed her pink suitcase in the corner and led her out of the office. I started to ramble on and on about the different clubs and groups like the cheerleaders, dance team, volley ball. She didn't seem the least bit interested in any of them. Then I started mentioning some of the guy's group thinking maybe she was more of a tomboy. I didn't get a response until I started talking the fighting club. When I mentioned it her eyes lit up…she certainly was a peculiar girl. But hey if she wanted to join who am I to stop her. I could actually probably help her join since I was Capitan of that team.

I showed her the library, Cafeteria, computer labs, game room. This school pretty much had it all. Then showed her where her dorm was located room 44b and explained that this was the girl's dormitory. Normally guys were not allowed to be here. She sat her suitcase in her room and followed me to her first class. Her first class was Geometry, a class I passionately hated. I thankfully didn't have to take that class this year. She entered into the class and the teacher introduced her. The teacher asked her to tell the class about herself, "…" but she stayed silent. The teacher shrugged it off and told her to sit behind a girl with orange hair. I told her I would be here in a few minutes to take her to her next class. She nodded and I walked towards the office.

Gaepora sat there with a smirk on his face looking at me. I fidgeted, feeling slightly unnerved. Gaepora had an irritatingly dry sense of humor. I sat there and braced myself for the inevitable punch line about me flirting with the new girl, but none came. I looked back up at him and he had a serious looking face on him. He then said, "Link, the reason I asked you to come here was to talk to you about this new student."

I nodded and said, "I assumed so."

"I have read her files from previous schools she has attended; turns out she is very intelligent, but also very troubled. Her last school, she was suspended from because she fought three guys." I raised my eyebrow but let him continue. "As you know, I want all my students to feel safe and welcome here and I was wondering if you would get her involved in the fight club. It might be the very thing to keep her out of trouble here. I don't think she would harm anyone without reason, but be sure to look out for her if you will."

I nodded and he said, "Very good Link, Thank you."

I walked down the hall and headed to her class. The bell had just rung and she was waiting outside the door for me. I smiled and said, "Ok Princess, can I see your schedule." She gave me a dirty look when I called her Princess this time. I ignored the glare and said, "Hey, you have Science Lab with me. There is an empty seat next to me in that class if you want to be Lab partners." She shrugged and followed me to my Aunt Impa's class. Impa is the one who is caring for me and my little sister Aryll since my mom and dad passed in that car accident. She was thrilled when she found out I got a scholarship to attend here.

I walked into the class and said, "Hey Aunt Impa, this is Zelda. She is new here."

She nodded and like I had earlier extended her hand for Zelda to shake. Just like earlier, she made no attempt to shake Impa's hand. Impa then chuckled and said, "Ok then, Would I be right in assuming you do not wish to be introduced to the class." Zelda smirked and nodded. Impa smiled and said, "Ok then, you may go sit at Link's table if you wish." She nodded and followed me to my table. We sat down and class and there was an uncomfortable silence in the room. Everyone turned to look at the new girl. She noticed this and flinched. Impa then started class and all attention turned towards her.

There were two more classes I brought her to until lunch time. I met her outside her class just like I did this morning and took her to the cafeteria. I knew she already knew where it was from when I showed her around earlier, but I liked her. I mean how many girls do you know that liked fighting. I kind of wondered what type of skills she had. I brought her to my friend's table and pulled out a chair for her. She shook her head and backed up. I looked at her questioningly and she ran off. I was a bit shocked by her reaction, but who am I to judge. So, I sat down with my friends.

Ruto like the loud ass she is, was the first to speak up, "Link, who the hell was that and what is her problem?"

I replied, "Her name is Zelda, she is new here and is very shy." I then added, "BE NICE TO HER RUTO!"

She smiled a sheepish smile and went back to eating. Ruto was a pretty girl, but she was also known as the biggest pain in the ass of all time. She had pearly blue skin and pretty red eyes.

The other people who sat at my table with me were: Sariah, Mido, Dark, Midna, and Malon. I would normally sit with them, but I excused myself remembering my promise to Gaepora.

I searched outside where she had run off and found her eating her lunch by the fountain. I sat next to her and she looked up at me peculiarly. I laughed and asked, "You didn't think you would get away from me that easily, did ya?" She rolled her eyes and went back to eating. I continued to try to carry on a mainly one sided conversation about the school. I would occasionally get a nod of acknowledgement.

I then decided to start talking about the Fight club. "So, earlier I noticed you looked interested in joining the fight club. Would you like some more information about it?" I asked. She nodded eagerly so I started, "Well, I am the Capitan of the fight club, so if you would like to join, I would be glad to have you. The group is entirely guys, but I think you will be able to make lots of friends with them. Of course like with any group, there are few jerks in the club. But, I will let you know who to look out for. We have practice at 4:00 today if you would like to give it a try."

Again she nodded. I sighed. I wish I could get more than just nods from her.

She got up to throw away her brown paper bag that used to contain her lunch, but she as knocked over.

She looked up to see who she bumped into and I helped her to her feet. It was none other than Ganon, the meanest kid in school. She walked past him and threw her bag in the garbage can. He yelled, "Hey Bitch, aren't you going to at least say excuse me?" She merely walked past him and he grabbed her hand. I was about to stop him when she managed to use his bodyweight as leverage and flip him on his back. To say I was shocked, would be grossly understating it. Ganon looked at her and said, "Your lucky your cute," with a wink and walked off. Zelda went off in the opposite direction and I didn't find her until my next class. She was in that class with me, and thankfully she managed to get there without being lost.

The day eventually came to a close and I escorted her to her room. Girls gave me glares for being in there but I knew no one would tell. She opened the door and it as it turns out her new roommate was Sariah. "Hey Sariah," I greeted, "This is your new roommate, Zelda."

Her eyes lit-up and said, "You mean I FINALLY have a roommate?!" I nodded and tried not to laugh as Sariah ran up and hugged Zelda. Zelda tensed up, but relaxed when she saw this girl was no harm. Sariah practically yelled, "We are going to become best friends! We are going to paint our nails, talk about boys, go to parties, eat ice cream while watching tear jerkers."

Zelda sent me a face that screamed 'Oh dear sweet Din save me now!' I chuckled and said, "Actually Sariah, as much as she is looking forward to that, she has practice with me in a few minutes."

Sariah nodded…I guess it didn't register it was fight club today. She then said, "Alright, I will have a gallon of ice cream in the mini-fridge for us when you get back."

Zelda nodded and mouthed a thank you. I beamed seeing as it was the closest I had come to her actually talking.
