I had the plan to take a little break and wait a few days before posting another story, but the idea came up and I was just too excited to wait any longer! You should know this story may not be updated every day or two like my others because now I'm back at school and I'm into my final year so there's loads of work, but I will update whenever possible because I love this story line! Just before I begin I would like to say a big thank you to my friends Link and Zelda (yes that's their real names and they are actually a couple!) for helping me with this story! Lots of the ideas and events in this story came from them and their romance so thank you for letting me write this! Also thank you to Princess Zelda-figure skater for beta reading this story!

I finally found the source of the cover art after months of searching! All credit goes to finchebon of tumblr who drew the figures of Link and Zelda on the cover art! (I initially could not find a source)

Anyway onwards to the story!

I anxiously tap my foot on the ground, what's taking this bus so long? It was supposed to be here ten minutes ago… I sigh, pulling my wheelie bag a little closer. This is all mum and dads fault anyway, they decided that for their twentieth anniversary they were going to go traveling all around Hyrule, of course whilst booking it dad didn't even stop to think about me, resulting in him having to rush around trying to book me a place at a boarding school, which I'm not happy about.

Now here I am a month later, standing on the curb anxiously waiting for the bus that's supposed to pick me up. I sigh, silently praying that this boarding school is nice. And just as I open my eyes a tall, red and blue bus hurtles around the corner, I glance through the windows, and sure enough the bus is crowded with kids around my age, talking, laughing, chatting, listening to music and eating. Eventually the bus pulls up in front of me and the large doors hiss open. I gingerly clamber up the steps and am met with a balding bus driver looking at me expectantly.

"Umm… Zelda, Zelda Ordon." I stammer nervously, he nods, ticking my name off on the list, before silently gesturing for me to take a seat. I turn around to look at everyone, in a group of seats to my right sits a gaggle of girls doing each other's hair and discussing boys… not my type of thing… I hitch my back pack a little higher on my shoulders nervously and turn to look in the other direction, and my eyes fall on a crowd of boys tossing a football between them, I let out a small sigh. Sat further back are a band of geeky kids wearing knitted jumpers and playing travel chess, and then, hiding away in the very back corner, a Twili girl sits alone. She wears black skinny jeans and a red lightning bolt print belt, a black zip up hoodie with the hood pulled up over her head, letting her long pale auburn hair fall out of the front. She has blue headphones plugged into her ears and nods her head slightly along with the beat. I take a deep breath and make my way over.

"Is this seat taken?" I ask nervously.

She shakes her head, smiling and she pulls a headphone out of her ear to listen to me. I grin and put my bags up in the overhead storage before taking a seat next to her. "I'm Zelda," I say.

"Midna," She replies, grinning. "I'm new here…"

"What a coincidence! Me too!" I say, letting myself smile.

She laughs aloud and turns to face me. "It's a bit awkward isn't it?" She says, "Everybody already knows each other and you arrive and you don't know anyone! Who do you talk to?"

"Exactly!" I say, relieved that someone is as nervous and lost as I am. "Well from now on let's say we stick together, yeah?" I ask.

She grins. "Of course, friends! So Zelda, tell me a bit about yourself"

I cast my eyes up, thinking. "Umm… well… I'm here because my parents decided to take a second honey moon, forgetting that they do actually have a daughter!" She laughs and I smile to myself, glad that she thinks I'm funny enough to laugh at my jokes. "I love music! I play the violin, the harp, the ocarina and the piano!"

"Wow!" She says. "I dance you see, mostly street dance, some ballet but only when I have to!"

"Cool!" I say, "What dorm are you staying in?"

"Nayru five," She replies, smiling. "At least, that's what my brochure says!"

"Same!" She grins and hands me a headphone to put into my own ear, and we kick back and spend the rest of the journey discussing music, school, and trying to guess who our other bunk mate may be.

Almost immediately after we arrive at school we're all herded in to the main hall for an introductory assembly. Me and Midna take our seats about two thirds of the way back. We're introduced to our new teachers and told the rules of the school.

"No alcohol, no drugs, no fighting! If any of you are caught doing any kind of the mentioned activities everyone involved will be expelled! No cheating on tests, homework must be handed in, no bullying or harassment, treat all staff with respect! Each time you slip up in these four areas you will be given a strike, three strikes and you won't be allowed out on weeknights until the end of the year! Uniform must be worn during school hours and worn properly, if not… one strike! You will each be given chores to complete in your dorms, on weeknights you will be allowed out of school provided you have completed all homework due in the next day, finished all your chores, and you don't have three strikes! But you must be in the grounds by seven o'clock, in your dorm by eight, silent by nine and lights out by ten! On Friday and Saturday night these times are pushed forward one hour, but if any of these rules are broken, you get one strike! We have a zero tolerance and zero excuses policy here… do I make myself quite clear?!" The entire hall nods simultaneously, still trying to take in most of what she said, and she smiles. "Thank you for your patience, you may all now go to your dorms, you have today to unpack, settle in, catch up with your friends and prepare yourself for school, normal lessons will begin tomorrow. Other than that students… have a good year."

She totters off the stage in her black high heels and me and Midna exhale, relieved. Before clambering to our feet as the rest of the school begin talking and laughing with their friends, disappearing in different directions.

"So where about is the Nayru dorms?" She asks.

I pull my map from the back pocket of my jeans, carefully studying it. "It says here that the Nayru dorms are to the East of here… so down that corridor!" I say, pointing at one of the long stretches leading away from the hall. We grab our bags and make our way down the corridor, and up a flight of stairs to another corridor, this one slightly shorter with only ten doors, and a golden plaque on the wall reads 'Nayru dorms' and we grin, knowing we're in the right place. We push open the door marked 5 and enter our bedroom, to find someone already there.

She's a petite Kokiri with short green hair just down to her jaw line, pushed back with a darker green headband. She wears a green playsuit and little green boots with a matching T-shirt and belt. She looks up as we make our way in, smiling like she's happy to see us.

"Hi!" She exclaims, running over and pulling us both into a hug. "I'm Saria! I'll be your bunk mate, and I'm guessing you must be Zelda and Midna!"

"Umm… yeah!" Midna says, a little surprised, "How do you know our names?"

"Oh! I'm this year group's prefect!" She says, pointing to a silver badge pinned to her playsuit. "That's why we're in the same dorm! They asked me to look after you!"

"Oh ok!" Midna says, a little relieved, dropping her bag onto on the bed closest to the door, I glance around, Saria's stuff is spread over the bed nearest the cupboards, so I flop onto the one nearest the window.

"So how long have you been at this school Saria?" I ask, beginning to unpack my clothes, folding them into the drawers closest to my bed.

"I've been here since I was 11! It's a really great school, you'll love it here! The grounds are awesome, and there are loads of really nice people, plus the teachers aren't as scary as they try to make out, as long as you follow their rules they're nice to you!"

"Sweet!" Midna says grinning, vanishing into the bathrooms to put some stuff away, she calls to them from the bathroom. "So Saria… Got a boyfriend at this school?"

Saria laughs as she stuffs her duvet into its cover. "Please! I mean, Mido, Ghirahim, and Vaati all keep trying to make passes at me but they're all just so tacky, y'know?"

"Oh you poor little popular girl!" Midna says, poking her tongue out as she makes her way back in.

Saria laughs. "No! It's not like that, there's just no one here I've really gotten into! What about you two, do either of you have a boyfriend?"

Midna just laughs aloud and I shake my head. "No!" I say, "I've never really thought about dating…"

Saria narrows her eyes, squinting at us both. "Y'know Midna, I think you would get on great with Zant… or Sheik!"

Midna laughs, "I don't know either of those people and right now, I've got to focus on making friends and settling in."

"Fine," Saria says, sulking a little, she makes her way over to me, smiling as she slips her arm around me. "And you Zelda would be just perfect for Link!"

"Link?" I question.

"Yeah! Link Faron, he's a really nice guy!"

I just shake my head, eyebrows raised, "No, I think I'm the same as Midna, I've got to settle in first!"

As lunch time rolls around the three of us make our way down to the dining hall; and as Saria pushes the door open for us, we're greeted by crowds of people sat at long thin tables eating delicious smelling Panini's, the atmosphere is warm and noisy, everyone is laughing with their friends and enjoying lunch together. Saria grins, leading us up to the serving area at the far end of the hall, we grab trays and each pick a Panini, a drink, some salad and a snack, before making our way over to a table together. We all settle down in our seats and begin tucking into our lunch, when from across the room loud laughter erupts. I frown, turning around to see what's going on, and sure enough I spot a commotion erupting from a table on the other side of the hall. A Twili and a Gerudo are clambering to their feet and racing to the other end of the hall, laughing. The Gerudo holds a mobile phone in his hands, a text message open as the Twili boy chases him; I guess the phone belongs to the Twili.

Saria sighs, rolling her eyes. "The Gerudo is Ganon, and the Twili, Zant, and the other two boys at their table are Vaati and Ghirahim, they're always causing trouble, wait here." She gets to her feet reluctantly and steps directly into the path of Ganon, her arms crossed. "Ok, enough messing about, give him his phone back."

"Oh yeah?" Ganon says, arching one eyebrow. "And what are YOU going to do about it?"

"I'm prefect this year, do you really want to end up locked in on weeknights all year again, Ganon?" She smirks and the spectators laugh. Ganon mumbles something but throws the phone back over to Zant, who thanks Saria as she returns to her seat.

"Wow you really are popular!" Midna says, laughing. "You basically just threatened to grass him up and no one cares!"

Saria shrugs and I sip the last of my drink. "I'm going to get a refill, be back in a moment." I get to my feet, wandering back over to the soda dispenser, thinking to myself. This place doesn't seem so bad, I don't know what the teachers or classes are like here but Midna and Saria seem really nice and the actual school building is lovely. I think I might like it here. I smile as my cup finishes filling and turn around to head back to Saria and Midna, but not without colliding head first into someone stood directly behind me, and before I know what's happening I find myself on my backside, the empty cup rolling away from me, and my drink all over the floor, myself, and a boy dressed in green lying in front of me.

He grumbles, getting to his feet, trying to wipe the worst of the soda off his shirt. "Watch where you're going would you, clumsy!"

"Sorry, it was an accident!" I say, standing up and picking up the empty cup, "Don't worry, it'll wash out!"

"I'm still soaking wet!" He says, looking directly at me with his angry blue eyes.

"I said I'm sorry what more do you want from me!?" I ask.

"I already said! Watch where you're going!" He says, slowly and loudly as if I'm stupid.

"Hey you don't have to be so mean!" I say, getting a little wound up "And if it makes you feel any better it went all over me too!"

"Yes it does actually… it means you're suffering!" He spits, turning away.

"Oh well lovely to meet you too!" I say sarcastically.

He smirks, turning back to look at me, "Oh believe me, the pleasures all yours, new girl!"

And with that he walks away, leaving me soda stained and a little miffed.
