With a first fan fic, there's bound to be errors in grammar, plot, or story telling ability. So get ready for that.

Legend of Zelda is property of Nintendo.

Hyrule High. It's your typical 2 story brick building. Every day I find myself dreading having to get up to go to that building. It's not so much the school itself, merely, certain aspects that make it a lot less…inviting. You know, jerks, food…math. Goddesses, do I hate geometry. I would love to know who decided shapes were a part of math!

I get fairly decent grades, even in geo. I slide through on a solid B average. I find that just doing what the teachers ask on a day to day basis is enough to keep them and my uncle happy. I'm schooling for the weekend. Someone should slap me for saying that.

Don't tell my friends I said that. They would jump at the chance. Sheik, one of my two closest friends, is a quiet guy. The speak when spoken to type. At times it's annoying, not getting a true answer, just one that answers the specific question asked. However, it is a nice change from my other close friend. Kafei is quiet the hyperactive talker. Never thinks twice about throwing his opinion into the debate. He also doesn't think before he acts. Naturally, that doesn't always go over too well. With one exception.

The one time I've been thankful for Kafei's tendency to act on a whim, was three years ago, in seventh grade. Ganondorf had just come back from football practice, while I was packing up my stuff at my locker after media club. (Don't judge, it's cooler than it sounds.) Wanting to feel superior, Ganondorf walked over to my locker, slammed it shut, and picked me up and threw me. I'm not short or weak necessarily, but I don't stand much of a chance when put up against a steroid infused gorilla. Now before you think I'm bashing football players wait for the next part.

Kafei, who at the time was the grade's running back, walked right up behind Ganon, who was a good 6 inches taller than Kafei, spun him around, and punched him square in the right eye. Kafei got in trouble, but only because he ratted himself out. He told the coach what happened and when the coach didn't reprimand Ganondorf, Kafei quit the football team. Since then, we've been friends. I'm constantly telling him to go back, though, and that he shouldn't have quit on my account, but he doesn't listen.

As for Sheik, well, that's just the whole "known each other since kindergarten" thing.

As I said before, while Sheik is a quiet guy, Kafei is quite the opposite. Kafei is vocal and clumsy. In eighth grade we were working with chemicals, which I was amazed they trusted some of the people in my class with, and Kafei spilled something on his hands just as he was going to move his semi-long hair out of his eyes. It changed his bangs into a purple-blue color which he thought looked cool. So, he ended up dying his hair purple and it's a look he's kept since.

Between Kafei and Sheik, I'd say I'm the equalizer. Loud when it's acceptable and quiet when it's necessary. I'm about 5' 10" and 160 lbs. with shaggy blond hair and I'm always in jeans. My dad died in a war and my mother died in child birth, so I live with my uncle. He's pretty awesome sometimes. For example after making me study for a long time for finals freshman year, he let me do whatever I wanted for as long as I wanted, as long as it didn't break the law or windows.

How did I get on the topic of family? I was talking about school. Well, Christmas break has passed and Spring Break won't be here until next month, so I don't have a legit reason for shutting down and not focusing for a while. I've been productive in class, (well as productive as a B+ is) actually responding to Kafei after his rants, which catches him by surprise, and talking to Zelda more.

Zelda, in my opinion, is the living personification of female perfection. She's got gorgeous blond hair, stunning blue eyes, and the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Lucky for me, our last names are only one letter apart, which means ever since last year, freshman year to be more precise, I've got the locker next to hers. Zelda is smart, very easy to talk to, and has a great sense of humor, so it's almost impossible not to get along with her, which is why it's so awesome to get to have a locker by her.

I've known Zelda since third grade when she moved to our school, and since everybody was still young, they invited her in no problem. I first had the pleasure of speaking to Zelda in sixth grade. Her back pack was full of art supplies, and she was trying desperately to carry three textbooks, which happened to be the three biggest books of the five we got that year. I was passing by during my study hall hour and I was just going back to the room, when she dropped two of the three books. Being very suave and understanding, I started to chuckle. I'm not sure if she heard me, but when she looked up to see if anybody saw it, her face was red. I mean, so red I could've hidden a tomato on it. I don't think I'll see anything like it ever again.

I jogged over and helped her with the books. Accuse the cliché if you must, but I offered to carry the books for her to wherever she was going. We talked all the way to the art room, which was on the other side of the school. It was then that I realized how cool she was. We had the same interest in movies, books, and, to my surprise, video games. After that, if we saw each other at all we would usually have a small conversation about whatever.

Today, I assumed there would be nothing to report. I was staring into my locker and thinking of yesterday. I was trying to remember if my chemistry teacher said I needed my book for today, when I turned my head and saw Zelda and her best friend Malon walking my direction. Malon has fiery red hair and, I have to admit, a pretty face. She can be a bit hyper, but Zelda tells me she's a really good friend.

I went back to my internal debate, when I then heard Zelda say, "There he is, let's ask him!"

"Hey, Link?" I heard Malon ask.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked. Zelda had begun opening her locker, but was still as involved in the conversation as Malon and I were.

"I have a question, and I want a guy's perspective." Malon told me, seeming anxious, but also determined.

"OK, shoot."

"What do you think about Shad?" She asked. To be honest, the question caught me off guard. Shad was totally…grade-conscious… I guess if I don't want to sound like a jerk. He's the kind of guy who feels stupid when he gets a B on a test. But he isn't as socially awkward as you might think. He's got his small group and he seems like a nice guy.

"To be honest, Mal, I've never really talked to him before, but Sheik has and says he seems cool." I smirked, "Why? What's up?"

"Oh…uh…you know…just small talk." She blushed and walked away.

"Oh yeah, that's a common conversation starter." I said when she was gone. I heard Zelda giggle. "Is she really interested in Shad?"

Zelda looked over at me and said, "Yeah, she has been for a while." She rolled her eyes and turned back to her locker, "You'd be amazed at how many times his name comes up in a conversation."

I reached into my locker and pulled out my chemistry book. "Hey, are we going to need these for first hour?"

"I don't know. I'm bringing it with my just in case." We both shut our lockers and begun heading to chemistry.

"Yeah, good idea."

"Thank you, I'm full of them. Do you want an autographed photo?" She joked.

"Don't tempt me." I said it as a joke, but…

She smiled at me, and then we walked in silence for a little bit. I felt her glance over in my direction and then she asked me, "Hey, what's that?"

I looked at her to see what she was talking about and I noticed she was looking at my notebook. Last night, I took my stuff home and while I was doing my homework, my little sister came in and showed me an art project she made for me. It was a drawing of me and her watching T.V. It was drawn on pink paper, which is probably why Zelda saw it sticking out of my notebook.

"Oh, Aryll drew it for me." I pulled it out and showed it to her. Zelda took it from my hand and smiled.

"This is probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen!" she exclaimed, looking it over again.

"I'm glad you think so." I watched and began to laugh at her expression. She flipped it over and read what Aryll had written on the back.

"'Me and the best big brother in the world, Link.' Link, this is too adorable." She said with a huge grin on her face as she handed me the paper.

"Yeah I know, but you've always said that about Aryll."

"Yeah," then her eyes got big. "Hey, I haven't seen Aryll in over a year!" Which was true. Zelda and I used to be on the same bus route, but when her older sister, Tetra, got her license, she began taking Zelda with her to school.

"Well, you haven't come on our bus since last year." I reminded her.

"Oh yeah, duh!" She slapped her own forehead. She looked up at me with her big gorgeous eyes and said, "You know, if you and Aryll ever want a ride after school, I'm sure Tetra wouldn't mind. What with Malon playing softball now, we would have enough room for you two."

"Hey thanks, I'll keep that in mind." I answered with a smile. She smiled back and then, much to my dismay, we had arrived at chemistry. I spent that class period thinking about what had happened. This had been the closest I've gotten to almost getting a date with Zelda.

Well this was the first thing I've ever submitted to Fan Fiction, and I was originally just gonna have it give the back story to thing, but I decided that would be too bland a thing to be my first work.

So just tell me if this thing is worth continuing. I'll be fine if you say no.
