Today is going to be my first day of high school at Smash High, thanks to my dad saying that I can't be home schooled anymore. He said "A princess should go out and befriend her future loyal subjects". I know he is right and all but I'm not that great with making friends, I mean I was always stuck in the castle my whole life.

I know I don't really don't wanna go but I can't complain about my dad's choices, he is 'the High King of Hyrule' after all. So I have to do what I must...even if it means going to school.

After I get ready and eat my breakfast I walk down the hallway to the throne room to have my father arrange transportation to Smash Mansion. On my way I realize that the castle seems a little bit more lonely than ever. Without Impa I don't really have any friends here. But hopefully I will have a lot of friends at school.

When I push open the double doors I see my father fast asleep in his throne.

"Dad, hello dad, wake up dad" I say loud enough for him to hear me.

"Wha-what, what's going on..." he quickly opened his eyes, looking around confused until his eyes meet mine. "Ah, Zelda is it time for school already dear."

I nod.

"Well then do you have everything ready, are all your things packed, is your lunch for the first day packed, make sure not to lose your tiara." he said seeming more nervous than he looked.

"Dad" I whined, " do I really have to bring my tiara". Seriously...that it the last thing I would want to ever bring, it's the one thing that would separate me from the others. I want them to think I'm one of them, to think I'm a normal person.

"Yes Zelda, of course you have to bring your tiara. You are my daughter, aren't you proud of that? You come from a royal bloodline, you are royal, and royalty never go anywhere without their crowns, it is all we are. The crowns symbolize us."

Part of me was saying I told you not to argue with him while the other part of me was conflicted. Was this all we were seen as, someone who wears the crown, someone who writes the laws, someone who owns the land. This isn't what I want to be remembered as, I want to be remembered for who I am not what I am.

"Fine dad, I'll bring my tiara, anything else before I go" I pause to look at the time "because that's gonna be really soon, if you don't want me to be late that is."

His face changes from it's normal regal look to a sad fatherly look.

"That is all." He paused to motion forward a guard and tell him to prepare the royal carriage. "The royal carriage will be ready and here any minute now, go gather your things Zelda."

Just as I open the doors I hear him say "Have a good semester. I love you sweetheart."

I smile and turn to look back at him. "I love you too dad, bye."

I step outside just as the royal carriage arrives. Once one of the guards open the door I pause hesitantly before I step inside.

Oh what I wouldn't give for another day stuck in the palace...even if I was being lectured by Impa or even my father it would be better than being thrown into the world on my own. What if something happens to me?

I shake off my thoughts as quickly as they come. No I can't afford to think like this...especially not today.

As we're leaving the land I am a princess for, the place that is my one and only home more thoughts flood my head like what if no one likes me and what if making friends is harder than it seems.

These are the thoughts that actually worry me the most. The closer we come to the mansion I once saw images of the more paranoid I feel. It's only a matter of time before we're close to the entrance of the magnificent home transformed boarding school.

"Um...I can get out here..." I call to the carriage driver. "I don't mind walking and I think my father won't too as long as I'm healthy."

He nods to the others as they come around to the side and open the door for me.

After I step out I wait for them to get out of range before I quickly take off my tiara and stuff it in my school bag.

I'm sorry dad but I'm not ready to be wearing this in school I thought aloud as I walked the rest of the way to the mansion. When I got through the door I had to rethink my former decision of agreeing to come here. There was just so many people gathered into one place that I actually considered on going home.

No Zelda. Don't be a coward you can do this...it's just a few people how bad can this be...I nearly stumbled over a girl with long blonde hair because of me being so lost in thought.

"Oh I'm sorry" I said searching her face for anger as she turned around.

"Oh it's fine..." she replied. "I haven't seen you around here before. You're new here right?"

"Yes" I replied. "Today is my first day."

"Oh. Well then welcome. My name is Peach by the way." She held out her hand to shake mine.

"My names Zelda" I said taking it.

"Hey isn't that the name of the princess of Hyrule..." she said looking at me in confusion.

"Yea..." I replied confused.

"So does that mean that you're the princess" she asks seeming way more excited than the tone she used.

"Um...yea" I replied without even thinking first. "I am Princess Zelda."

"OMG" she exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement. "Another princess. Funny thing is I always wondered how it would be to meet you."

"Wait so you're also a princess" I replied feeling hopeful that I'm not the only royal one here.

"Yea I rule the Mushroom Kingdom. But there are also a lot of other princesses here too. Wait..where's you-"

Wow Zelda...you just couldn't see the crown on her head could you? And to think I was going to be one of the only royal people here. There has to be so many people just like me so I guess there's nothing to worry...I could barely finish my thought as I felt a hand tap me on my shoulder bringing me back to reality.

"Huh Zelda" Peach said as she looked at me with a questioning gaze.

"Oh I'm sorry" I replied kinda flustered. "What was your question?"

"Oh I just asked about your tiara...where is it? Or do you not have one?" She said once again gazing at me questioningly.

"Oh my tiara" I replied reaching my hand down to the bag hanging from my arm and pulled it out.

As soon as it was fully out of my bag it caught rays of sun and cast a golden light on one of the nearby walls almost seemingly blinding someone.

"Oops sorry" I muttered before turning back to Peach. "Here's my tiara."

"Well then put it on silly. It's not having any use just sitting in your bag." She exclaimed.

I chuckled slightly as I put it on. "Yea I guess it's not doing anything useful in my bag."

"That's better" Peach sighed. "Now you look like and actual princess. Anyways what are we still doing standing here...we have to go get you checked in and ready for classes."

"Wait, we have classes today?" I said a little shocked since I only just got here.

"No, you're very silly." She said giggling a bit. "Of course you won't get classes today since it's your first day but I still get classes. They always give the new kids a day to get used to it here before classes are actually given."

I let out a sigh of relief. Thank the goddesses I wouldn't have to begin school after only just arriving inside. Also I get a day to relax and explore so that's a even better thing!

"Ok let's go" I replied as I began following Peach into the school and into my first real semester.
