A Class, A Date, and A Dance

By, GreatAngemon

In Hyrule Public High School, there are a few different types of people;

The cool crowd-Jocks, Cheerleaders and the like.

The losers-Math Club, Chess Club and the like.

And the nobodies-people who can fit in either or, and neither at all. Link Time, the cutest guy in the whole school, is in this crowd. Zelda Harkinian, the prettiest girl in the school, is too, and so is her crush. How will this turn out?

Been reading a lot of school fics for Zelda, and I love them, so I am writing one of my own. Tell me how it turns out

Hope you like it.

Day: Friday Time: 7:00 AM.

Link stared out the window of the school bus. It was a gloomy day, and it looked like it was going to rain. He kept looking out the window as they approached the next bus stop. He saw mostly girls, with a few boys, standing there as it started to rain.

The bus driver opened the door, and everyone stepped on the bus. Link looked at the front, and saw a very pretty girl. Golden haired and wearing a pink dress that clashed with it wonderfully. This was Zelda, a casual girl, albeit more beautiful than most. Link had first started hanging out with her two months ago, on the first day of school.

_FLASHBACK_

He had been sitting in this same seat, and she had stepped onto the bus. At first he hadn't paid her a second glance, but then he saw her brother step on the bus too. His name was Sheik, and he was Link's best friend. They waved, but Sheik didn't sit next to him. Zelda, however, sat down next to him, and turned to face him.

"Hey Link," she said cheerfully, "How's it going?"

He grunted in reply, looking out the window.

She looked at him, and said, "Okay, well then, what are you doing after school?"

Link looked at her. "I was planning on going home and doing any work they give us, and then walking around town," he said grudgingly.

She smiled, and said, "Well, how about coming over to my house instead. I'll help you with your school work, and then we could play video games or something."

He stared at her. It wasn't that she had invited him over, she had done that hundreds of times before. It was that she wanted to hang out with him. He had done stuff with her before, but he usually hung out with Sheik. Sheik and Zelda were twins. They were almost identical, except for two things; Sheik was a dude, and had red eyes, and Zelda was a girl with blue eyes.

"Sure," he replied, cautiously, "What time should I come over?"

She smiled, and told him to walk home with her.

_END FLASHBACK_

She saw him, and walked over to him. She dropped into the seat and laid her head on his shoulder.

"I'm so tired," she whined at him, "Sheik kept me up all night with his music. Can I sleep until we get to school?"

He nodded and leaned back in his seat, to make it easier for her to sleep. She lived in the middle of the town, and they still had to go to the Gerudo Desert to pick up some of the students. The ride would be about another hour, so he watched her as she napped on his shoulder.

When they finally got to the school, he nudged her awake, and she stirred.

"Are we there already?" she asked, and he laughed. He couldn't help it. She looked so cute with her messy hair, eyes half open.

They walked off the bus together, and towards their lockers, which were right next to each other.

"So," Link said when Sheik caught up to them, "What are you guys doing later?"

Sheik looked at Link, and said, "I'm going to our grandma's house. She hasn't seen me in a while, and I have to pick up some stuff from that side of town anyway."

Link turned to Zelda, who was smiling. "I'm staying here," she said to his questioning look, "So you can come over if you want to." He nodded, and pulled his Hylian Lit book out of his locker and put it in his bag. The three of them walked forward, and Sheik turned into his class room. When Link and Zelda reached their own room, they sat down.

"Hello, Class," their homeroom teacher, Ms. Anju, said. "I have some business to attend to with the principal, so please talk among yourselves. I'll be back shortly." She left the room, and Zelda turned her chair to face Link.

"So," she said, and she saw Link trying to finish his homework before Ms. Anju returned. "I told you," she continued, sighing and picking up some of his work, "To start doing your homework, at home."

Link laughed, but didn't look up. When he finished, he looked at her. "Thanks," he said, sheepishly, "I guess I should do it at home, huh? Well, thanks again."

She smiled. Just then, Ganondorf Dragmire walked in. He was the schools official bully, and he had a crush on Zelda. He saw her sitting next to Link, and walked over.

"Hey babe," he said, sitting next to Zelda. "Is this loser bothering you?"

She sighed, and turned to Link. "Link, why does Ganon think you're a loser?" Link grinned, and replied;

"I'm not a jock, so I'm not in the cool crowd."

"Yeah, but you're not in the math club either, so you're not a loser. In fact," she continued, "You and I are in the same social group. So technically, if you're a loser, then so am I, right?"

Link nodded wisely, and said, "To true, to true. So, if you're a loser, why does Ganon here have a crush on you?" At this, Ganondorf stood up and grabbed Link by the collar.

"Don't you dare call Zelda a loser, you loser," he screamed, just as Ms. Anju walked into the room.

"Ganondorf," she shouted at him, "Put him down, now! Sit in your seat, and at the end of class you will be staying so we can discuss your punishment."

Link grinned at Zelda, and they exchanged high fives. Ganondorf dropped Link, and sat back down, glaring at him the whole time. The teacher looked at the class, and then cleared her throat.

"Okay, class, I have some great news. You all know Mr. Kafei, correct?" The class all nodded, since they all took Mr. Kafei's Hylian Lit classes. "Well, he and I have been dating for the past two years, and earlier today, he proposed to me." All the girls in class either giggled or sighed happily. "So, my classes will be covered by Mr. Light, starting this Monday, and for two weeks after that." She was beaming as the bell rang, and the students began to file out of class. Link, Zelda and Ganondorf stayed to talk to Ms. Anju.

"So, mister Dragmire," she said to Ganondorf, "What punishment do you think you deserve for assaulting a fellow student?"

Ganondorf looked daggers at Link, but said "I don't think I deserve any punishment. I was defending Zelda here, 'cause Link was calling her a loser, and he needed to be taught a lesson."

"Link, is this true?" she questioned, and Link and Zelda grinned at each other.

"Yes," he replied, "And no. Technically, Zelda called herself a loser. I just said it was true. You see, Ganondorf called me a loser, and Zelda mentioned, since she and I are in the same social class, if I'm a loser, then so is she. I only agreed with her."

"Is this true, Zelda?" she asked, and Zelda nodded.

Ganondorf shot Link a look that plainly said, "You're going to get it now." He just shook his head and grinned at him.

"Well," Ms. Anju said slowly, "If that is the case, I think Ganondorf will get detention, and Link and Zelda, since you technically didn't do anything wrong, you can go." She sighed, and started to sort papers on her desk. Ganondorf shot Link another look, and walked away.

"Congratulations on the wedding," Zelda said to Ms. Anju excitedly, "I'm so happy for you."

Ms. Anju looked up at them, and smiled. "Thanks, I'm excited too. I've known him my whole life, but I never thought he would propose to me."

They talked for a few more moments, but Link intervened, telling Zelda they had a class in two minutes.

"Bye, Ms. Anju," he said to her, "Congratulations again." She waved them out of her classroom, and they began hurrying to their class.

"I can't believe their getting married," Zelda said to Link, "It's so amazing, isn't it?

Link nodded but didn't say anything.

Zelda shot him a slightly annoyed look, but continued, "Do you ever think you'll get married, Link?"

"I don't know," he answered, "Probably someday. But not for a while." He looked at her, and she was frowning slightly. "What about you?"

She was about to answer, but was cut off by the teacher opening the door, and rushing out. He stopped when he saw Link and Zelda.

"Class is cancelled," he said, out of breath, "Go to your next class, or the computer room or something." He ran off, and Link turned to Zelda.

"What was that about," he said out loud, as they watched Mr. Darmani run to the principal's office, "He doesn't cancel class for just anything."

Zelda shook her head, and pulled Link to the library. It was a little after nine, and the library was usually empty this early in the day.

"So, Link," she said after they sat down and pulled out some more work, "You know there's a school dance tomorrow, right?"

He nodded, and looked at her. "So," he asked, curious, "Anybody ask you yet?"

"Yes," she replied, "But I turned them all down. I have somebody specific I want to ask me."

Link looked at her questioningly, and she looked oddly hopeful. "Well," he said, "I'm sure he will, whoever he is. And," he added, "If he doesn't, I'll pound him for you, okay." She giggled at this. "Just promise me that it's not Ganondorf, right."

"How," she asked, looking indignant, "Could you think I'd want to go anywhere with that stuck up, dim witted, pathetic-" As she said this, she saw Link was grinning at her, and she realized he had been joking.

The bell rang before Zelda could scold Link for teasing her like that, and they hurriedly packed their things and ran to their next class. Link and Zelda had identical schedules, and they talked in the back of the class for the most part. Even so, Zelda still got straight A's, and Link mostly got A-'s or B+'s. They walked to the gym, where Mr. Darunia was waiting for his class to assemble.

"Good morning class," he said, when they were all assembled, "Today, we will be playing," he pulled out two rubber balls from behind his back, "-dodge ball." The class groaned, and he threw the two balls into the crowd. "Link and Ganondorf will be the team captains. Link can pick his team mate first."

Link's team comprised of his friends- Zelda, Sheik, Mikau, Ruto, Malon, Romani and Saria.

Ganondorf's team was mainly his lackeys- Vatti, Onox, Veran, Majora, Demise, Aganihm, and Dethl.

The balls were lined up in a row on the line in the middle of the room, and the teams were against the walls, facing each other. Mr. Darunia blew his whistle, and the students ran forward, and everyone grabbed a ball, except Link.

You're dead, runt," Ganondorf said, as Link dove for the same ball, "Nobody gets Ganondorf Dragmire detention." Link walked calmly back, and waited for someone to notice that he didn't have a way to defend himself. The first one to notice was Vatti, and he attempted to oust Link from the game. Link caught the ball just before it hit him in the face.

"Vatti, you're out," Mr. Darunia shouted, and Vatti stomped away.

The game progressed, and Sheik got Majora and Demise out of the game, Zelda got Veran, and Saria got Onox and Aganihm. Links whole team got ousted by Ganondorf and Dethl, until Link got Dethl out of the game as well. It was just Link and Ganondorf, and class was scheduled to let out in two minutes. They kept throwing and dodging, but neither could hit the other.

"Go Link," his team screamed, and he grinned. The bell rang, just as Link threw the rubber ball. It flew through the air, and hit Ganondorf in the stomach.

Links team ran over to him, and engulfed him in a team hug. When they dispersed, Zelda was still hugging him.

"That was amazing, Link," she said as she let go.

"Uh, thanks," said a blushing Link. They, along with Sheik, walked to the cafeteria to get their lunch. When they reached it, they saw the day's special was chicken strips, green beans and salad.

"Why are they trying to force us to eat vegetables?" Sheik asked, holding up his tray to the lunch lady, "It should be our choice, shouldn't it?"

Link and Zelda nodded exasperatedly. Sheik did the same routine every time the cafeteria had salads.

"So," Sheik asked, after the three of them sat down, "Link, you going to the dance?"

"It depends," Link replied, "On if I find someone I want to take." As he said this, Zelda looked up hopefully. Sheik didn't miss this, and couldn't miss an opportunity to poke fun at his sister.

"How about you take Zelda," he said, and Zelda blushed, looking back at her plate.

"Nah," Link said casually, "She has someone she wants to ask her." At this, Sheik mentally said, "You dunce".

"Yeah, but if he doesn't, you could always take her. I mean, if neither of you have dates, you might as well, right?"

Link nodded, and Zelda shot a look at Sheik, that plainly said, "I'm going to kill you for that", and Sheik replied with a look that said, innocently, "Who, me?"

The bell rang again, and Sheik walked to the computer room, while Link and Zelda walked outside.

"Sorry for Sheik," Zelda said quietly, as they walked around the track, "He's just acting stupid."

"You don't need to tell me," laughed Link, "I've known him forever, and he does stupid stuff, just because it's 'more fun'."

Zelda smiled, and linked one of her arms with Link's, leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Well, I wouldn't mind going to the dance with you. You know if he doesn't ask me." She blushed as she said this, and Link smiled.

"I wouldn't mind going with you either," he said, "In fact, why don't we just go together. It might be fun. You don't have to, since you have someone you want to ask you, but I just thought I'd ask. Sheik had a point. We might as well go together."

Zelda had held her breath when Link asked her, and when she realized this, she let it out quickly. "I'd like that Link."

"But what about the guy you wanted to go with?"

"He has a date already," she said quickly, "But I hoped he would ditch her and ask me." She hoped her lie would be sufficient, and it seemed to be, because Link nodded.

"So," Link said, "I'll pick you up at five, okay?"

She nodded, and said, "That sounds good to me. You know that today's only a half day, right?"

He looked at her, and they headed to the school busses. When they got there, they saw Sheik talking with Malon. She was giggling uncontrollably.

Zelda walked up to her, and they walked a short distance to talk to each other without the guys eavesdropping on them.

"So," Sheik said, "Did you ask anyone to the dance?"

Link nodded, and turned to face Zelda, who was still talking to Malon, and giggling like a toddler.

"No way," Sheik said, when he noticed where Link was looking, "You really asked her out. Dude, I was just joking. Did she say yes?"

Link nodded, and they stepped onto the bus.

"Wow," Sheik said, and he looked at Zelda, who was sitting with Malon in the back. "So, I'm going with Malon, and you're going with my twin sister. That is so weird, but so cool."

Sheik was happy for Zelda, but had a sense of unease at the same time. He wouldn't know what to do if something went wrong. Link was his best friend, but Zelda was his sister.

When Link, Zelda and Sheik stepped off the bus to go to Zelda's house, they saw someone standing at the door. It was Ganondorf.

"Hey sweetie," he said, and he walked over to her, "Looking hot, as usual."

Zelda groaned as he attempted to kiss her cheek, and she ducked behind Link. Link put an arm around her, and turned to Ganondorf.

"What are you doing here?"

"The reason I came here," he replied, grabbing Link's collar again, "Is two-fold. One, I have to ask Zelda a question, and two, I have to pound you for calling Zelda a loser, getting me detention and for beating my team in dodge ball." At this, he grabbed the arm Link had around Zelda, and pushed him into the street.

Link rolled out of the way of a bicyclist who nearly ran him over, and stood up. He saw Sheik attempting to pry Ganondorf's arm from around Zelda's shoulders. He walked over, kicked his shins, and Ganondorf doubled over in pain. Zelda ran over, and hid behind her brother. When Ganondorf stood up, his eyes were murderous. He lunged at Link, who stepped out of the way lightly. Ganondorf hit his head on the car behind Link. In back of him, he heard Zelda giggle. Ganondorf stood up, rubbed his head, and walked over to Zelda.

Link stepped in front of her, but was pushed out of the way by Ganondorf.

"So, Zelda," he said, and she cringed slightly, "How about you stop hanging around with this loser, and go to the dance with me tomorrow."

Link grinned to himself. "Sure, Ganondorf," Zelda said, and Link gaped at her. "I would really like that."

She winked at Link, and he sighed in relief.

"How about you pick me up at five-thirty, okay?" she asked, and he nodded giddily. "But," she continued, "You have to go home, and let Link and Sheik help me get ready for the dance." He nodded again, and ran off.

When he was gone, the three of them walked inside, and they laughed. Sheik offered to get the two of them drinks before he had to get ready to go, and Link and Zelda walked into the living room.

When Zelda turned on the T.V., they saw an older romance movie on. Sheik walked into the room, and handed each of them a can of soda. He headed upstairs to take a shower before heading to their grandmothers.

"So," Link said after a moment, "That was a cool trick you pulled on Ganon."

She giggled again, and nodded. "Yeah, and he'll probably wait here for an hour or so, before he goes to the dance to find me."

Link grinned, pulled the blanket off the back of the couch, and leaned against the armrest, pulling Zelda towards him. He covered them both with the blanket, and she cuddled against his chest contentedly.

A few minutes later, Sheik came back downstairs, and gave them a quick word of farewell before heading out. They sat there watching the movie for a few more hours, happy just being in each other's company. At four o'clock, Link said he had to go home, because his mother was expecting him. Zelda sighed, and pulled the blanket off of them. She walked with him to the door, and kissed his cheek lightly.

"Do you really have to go?" she whined at him, "Can't you stay for just a little while longer?"

He smiled at her, and kissed her cheek. "I have to do a bunch of chores, and you should probably get ready for the dance." At this, Zelda gasped.

"I completely forgot," she said, and she pushed him out the door. "I'll call you to tell you what colors I'm wearing, so you can attempt to match me."

Link grinned at her, started walking away, and shouted over his shoulder, "And dismally fail, right?"

She giggled, and closed the door, sighing contentedly as she leaned against its wood.

Day: Saturday Time: 4:45 PM.

Link was walking to Sheik and Zelda's house to pick her up, and was internally debating whether he was doing the right thing. He was wearing dress pants, a red button up shirt, and was carrying a small rose in a box for Zelda.

When he approached her door, it was five till five, and he knocked on the door. A moment later, he heard someone messing with the locks, and then the door opened.

She looked stunning. She was wearing a red dress with black stitching on the hem that came down to just below her knees. The straps were criss-crossed in the back, and were striped with red on the sides and black in the middle. Her necklace was gold, and had a diamond in the middle.

"Link," he heard, and he was ripped from his awe. "Did you hear me?"

"Uh," he replied, "No sorry. You look great, by the way."

She giggled, and looked at him. "I was saying, you look pretty sharp yourself. You're early."

Link looked at her, and handed her the red rose. "Fashionably," he replied, casually.

She giggled, and Sheik and Malon walked out behind her.

"You girls look so great," Sheik said, and he slipped his arm around Malon's waist.

Malon and Zelda giggled as the four of them started walking to the school. It was only a short walk to the school, but the four of them rode the bus, because it gave them more time to hang out together.

Link slipped his hand into Zelda's, and they began to talk about how Ganondorf would take the fact that she left without him.

Link liked being with Zelda, and he found it easy talking to her. She laughed at his least amusing jokes, and played with his hair, just like she always had.

When they reached the school, Sheik and Malon hopped into line, closely followed by Link and Zelda.

They handed their bored looking teacher their tickets, and he let them in. They saw Ruto and Mikau dancing to a techno song on the dance floor, but opted instead to go and find a table.

When they finally found an empty one, the four of them sat down, and they were joined by Malon's twin sister, Romani, who hadn't been asked out by anyone, but had decided to come anyway.

"So," she said, noticing Link and Zelda holding hands, "Are you two going out now?"

Zelda blushed, and Link pulled Sheik up by the arm, muttering something about drinks.

"You didn't answer my question," Romani said, "Are you and Link going out now?"

Zelda blushed a deeper shade of red, but responded, "I don't know, but I sure hope he wants to go out with me again. I can't wait to see Ganondorf's expression when he sees me with Link." She giggled, just as Link and Sheik returned with a drink for all of them.

Just then, the music shifted to a slow song, and Sheik pulled Malon onto the dance floor. Romani was asked to dance by a boy Link knew from sight, but had never met personally.

"Do you want to dance?" he blurted out, and Zelda giggled.

She shook her head, and said, "I can't dance, so I don't think so."

"Oh, come on," he said, "There are two things you need to know, in order to dance right: one, you need to have fun, and two, you express yourself. Dancing is just a way people have fun with one another, so come on, let's dance."

She sighed, and let Link pull her to the dance floor.

She put her arms on his shoulder, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. They started swaying in time to the music, but after a moment, it seemed to fade away. They were moving, and she leaned into his chest, and sighed contentedly.

This was a real challenge to write. I've gotten so used to writing in the first person, I kept writing it like that.

Please review. Need input. Also, I have to take a break from my other chaptered story. Low on inspiration, don't you know.

So, if you have any ideas, Private Message me, and give me something to work with.

I threw a little quote from Sherlock Holmes in there. In the movie, Watson told Holmes he was early to the dinner, and Holmes replied fashionably, so, yeah.

This was originally called, "My life in high school", but, as it's not in first person, I didnt think it would make much sense.
