"Hey Zelda!"

It's the first day of school, and you are nervous. It's a new year, with new teachers, students, and challenges.

Zelda turns and waves at you. "Hi, y/n!"

Zelda is really pretty. She has golden hair that shines in the light and bright blue eyes to match. She's wearing a pretty white blouse, with a pink cardigan over it. Her white shorts and sandals compliment her long legs. You feel a bit embarrassed, because you kind of just wore what you had, which was your worn out denim shorts, sneakers and a grey tank top. You fumble with your heavy backpack and run over to her.

"Hey! Are you excited? New year."

Zelda nods. "Yeah, I am. But I'm also so nervous. Everything is going to be so much more difficult…"

You smile. That's Zelda, always worrying.

"Yeah, but this year, let's make an impression." You say.

Zelda nods. "Yeah."

You turn on your iPod as loud as it can go, play (catchiest song ever), and you dance into school. Because why not?

As you dance down the hall way, you grab Zelda's arm. "What classes do you have first?"

Zelda checks her schedule. "I have algebra. What about you?"

You groan. "Damn, I've got history."

Zelda frowns. "Aw, I wanted to have a class with you!"

You make a sympathetic face. "I know, but hey, we've got the same locker."

Zelda's face brightens and she smiles. "Yeah, I guess that's okay."

You and her find you locker and open it. Zelda makes a clicking noise with her tongue and looks at you.

"This is so bland. I need to decorate it!"

You smile and start to dump your full backpack into the locker. Zelda gasps and starts to re-arrange your books and folders.

"Stop! You're making it all messy!"

You roll your eyes. Zelda is such a perfectionist. "Zel, really, it's not a big deal-"

Zelda gives you the But-It's-A-Big-Deal-To-Me look and you shut up, placing your books neatly in the locker,

You slam the locker shut and grip your books. "So… see ya around." You say glumly.

Zelda nods. "Yeah. Lunch?"

You smile. "Defiantly."

You walk away, looking for the history classroom. There's the math room, conspiracy theory, circuit shop…

You stop. Are you lost? You start to freak out a little bit. You hate being lost…

You see a kid in a green hooded sweatshirt talking to some other people. He looks like he knows this school alright… You muster up all your courage and approach him.

"Um, excuse me…" Your voice trails off.

You're too quiet. You try again. "Uh, excuse me?" There, that's better.

The boy stop talking to his friends and turns around. Then you get a good look at him. He has light brown hair and bright blue eyes. He has red earrings pierced on his pointed ears. His hands are in his pockets and he is blowing a bubble with his gum. His sweatshirt is bright green, with 3 yellow triangles embroidered on the front. It has a pointed hood that sits over his head. You blush. He's really cute….

He bursts the gum bubble and smirks.

"Yeah? What is it?"

You straighten your back and look straight at him. "I'm looking for the history room. You know where that is?"

The boy nods and pats your back. "Yeah, I'm going there myself want me to show you the way?"

"Yeah, if that's not a bother to you." You tighten the grip on your books. He's so confident.

The boy picks up his books and puts his arm around your shoulders. You blush and try to hide it.

"So, what's your name, firefly? My name is Link."

You look at him. "Firefly?"

Link laughs. "Yeah, I called you firefly because you light up. I saw you dance down the hallway, y'know."

You smile and scratch the back of your head. "Heh heh, I guess…"

Link tightens his grip on your shoulder, pushing you closer to him. "So, what's your real name?"

You blink. "y/n."

Link smiles. "y/n…. that's a pretty name. To match a pretty girl."

You blush. Gosh, Link is so confident. And cocky. And flirty. And annoying. And cute… You think.

Link looks to the right and stops. "Ah, this is it!"

Link pushes open the door and you smile. "Why thank you, kind sir."

Link smirks. "No problem, kid."

You and Link sit down at the same table and you look around your books. There. You pull out your sketchbook and grab your pencil and pen from your back pocket. You love to draw. You start to sketch something out. You look over at Link. He's making a paper airplane. You focus on your drawing, sketching out a hero. He's holding a sword, and looks very courageous.

"Hey, that looks like me."

Link is leaning over your shoulder, looking at your drawing. With a yelp, you cover the drawing with your arms and scowl at him.

"Hey! Don't peep on me!"

Link laughs and leans back in his chair, tipping it onto 2 legs. "Sorry, it just looked like me."

You blush. "Well, that's kinda the point." You push the book over to him and Link picks it up.

"Hey, this is pretty good!" He throws the sketchbook back down in front of you.

You pick it up and smile. "Thanks."

You continue to draw, sketching out his expression. He has a confident, mischievous, cocky smirk. A lot like the one Link has on his face he launches his paper airplane, hitting a girl in the back of the head.

The girl jumps and looks around for Link, who is laughing his butt off. You roll your eyes. He's so immature…You are about to open your mouth to say something when the teacher comes in.

He looks very professional and strict, just by the look of him. You straighten your back and put your hands under the table. The teacher starts to pace the room.

He talks about his name, the class, what you'll be learning. You don't really pay attention, because you're busily drawing in you sketch book, and keeping an eye on Link. Eventually, as the teacher (whose name is Mr. Breen, talk about run-of-the-mill) approaches Link. Link looks up and smirks.

"What is it?"

Mr. Breen crosses his arms. "I will not allow hoods or gum chewing in my class. FIX IT."

Link scowls and reluctantly pulls his hood off and swiftly takes the gum out of his mouth and fixes it under the table. Mr. Breen continues along, 'fixing' the classes 'problems'. A girl got told off for wearing a revealing outfit, a boy for texting in class. He approaches you and you gulp. You know exactly what he's going to say-

"y/n, put that drawing away. There will be none of that in my class."

You hang your head and slide the book under the pile of notebooks and textbooks. You are constantly being told off about that…

Link pats your back reassuringly. "It's okay, don't sweat it."

You smile and nod. "I know, I'm fine."

You turn back to Mr. Breen, who starts up the lesson. He lectures the class about the ancient civilizations of Babylon and the Mayas. You noticed Link had fallen asleep halfway through the lesson and you had to smack his head to wake him up. After what seems like forever, the bell rings. You and Link waste no time grabbing your stuff and getting the hell out.

Link pulls his hood back on and pops another piece of gum in his mouth. "God, that was fuckin' BORING."

You nod. "I know, right?"

Link cracks his knuckles and stretches. "Well, what class do ya have next?"

You check your schedule. "Math theory."

Link gives a happy shout. "Alright, so do I!"

You smile. I think I've made a new friend.

Xxxx

You look for Zelda, weaving in and out of the huge lunch crowd, towing Link with you.

"ZELDA!"

You see her turn and happily wave. "Hey guys!" She rushes over and looks at Link. "Hey Link!"

Link smiles. "Hey Zel!"

You turn to him, confused. "You know her?"

Link nods. "Yeah, we've been friends ever since we were little kids. We dated for a while, but it didn't really work out… guess we're better as friends."

You nod. "Okay, that's cool."

You turn to Zelda. "Would you mind if he joined us?"

Zelda smiles. "Of course not! C'mon!" She grabs Link's hand and pulls him over to an empty table.

You smile and rush over to buy your lunch.

When you return, Zelda and Link are having a heated staring contest. You sit in the middle of them and poke their noses, making them blink.

"Hey! I was going to win!" Link shouts, punching the table.

You smirk and start to eat your sandwich. Zelda leans over and looks at you.

"So, you and Link are friends now?"

You nod and Link slaps your back.

"Yep, we're bros. Kinda amazing how quickly we clicked."

You blush and focus on your sandwich.

Zelda grins. "Yeah, she's great. We've been friends since middle school!"

Link puts his arm around your shoulder. "Yep, she's a real keeper."

You try to keep yourself from blushing even more. God, he's too confident and flirty for his own good!

You finish your sandwich as fast as possible and try to wiggle out of Link's grasp.

"S-so… uh…" You nervously laugh and Zelda gives you a light smack on the head.

"y/n, what's gotten into you?!"

Out of the corner of your eyes, you see Link pelt a small kid with tater tots.

You smirk at Zelda and crack your knuckles casually. "Nuthin'."

Zelda raises her eyebrows, but doesn't say anything.

Just then the bell rings, and all the students start to file towards the door.

Link stretches and sighs loudly. "Ah, class is up. We'd better go."

You nod, excited to get to know your new friend even better.
