"Link!...Hey Listen!"

My eyes slowly began to ape when I heard her loud voice ringing in my ears.

"…Navi?" I groaned sleepily and pulled my comforter over my head. Yawning loudly as I stretched my arms out.

"Don't call me that! I am your mother! " Her voice was so high pitched…it honestly made me want to jump out of my bedroom window. But in response to her, I only rolled slowly out of my bed and walked right past her. Her light blue hair was a mess. Almost as if a Cucco had made a nest on her head while she slept.

"Link, you're gonna be late to school!"

My eyes immediately shot open and to the clock. It was 7:15!

"Navi, why didn't you tell me sooner!?" My entire body began to move at a hyperactive speed as I tried to get ready for my day. It didn't take too much effort though. Generally, I wore the same thing every day, a large hoodie, tan khakis and a matching beanie hat. Today felt like a 'green' type of day. So that's what I based my outfit on. I nabbed my favorite dark green hoodie, practically jumped into my pants and checked my reflection in the mirror before I put the beanie on. My dirty blonde hair needed almost no attending to. It had always been naturally perfect in style, the only thing I really needed to do was run my comb through it once to make sure no knots were in it. I nodded at myself and snatched up my brown bag and an down the stairs. Just before I reached the door, Navi throw a warm glass bottle at me. It was purely instinctive (after all what else would you do if someone through something a you…besides dodge it) My arm shot up and I grasped the bottle. My blue eyes stared at the red liquid inside for only a second. It was a Red Potion! Thank goodness! I would have probably fainted at some point during the day if I didn't have this.

"Have a good day!" Mom shouted from the kitchen as I raced out of our small wooden house.

"Thanks, Navi!" I was pacing too fast but I swear I could hear her shouting Don't call me that! It brought a small smile to my face as I quickly ran to Hylian Academy. It unfortunately took a long time (I would normally ride the bus) because I lived in the deep forest area of Hyrule. While the Academy was in the big town area, right outside the castle.

Just as I was arriving at the castle-like school, a loud bell could be head, which meant that I was late for first period. Mr. Barnes was going to be furious…he may even threaten to blow me up. It was entirely possible.

When I was arriving to Explosive Engineering, Mr. Barnes had already started his daily rant on why we needed bombs and other explosives to survive easier.

"Without these things, we wouldn't be able to clear out the lands as easily as we can today!" His obnoxious and whiney voice could easily be head through the big steel doors. So, I took a deep breath and as quietly as I could manage, opened the door. He didn't seem to notice thankfully. But it was far too soon to be patting myself on the back for successfully sneaking into my class. Several

eyes were staring at me as I practically tip-toed to my desk. There were a few small chuckles amongst my fellow classmates. Bu that was something Mr. Barnes was used to hearing while he gave speeches. So I didn't concern me too much.

Suddenly the room went quiet. Definitely not a good sign… My head slowly turned to the side and I saw that I had been caught. He had a small grin on his rosy cheeks and was crossing his arms.

"Ah Mr. Evergreen. I see you have decided to show up to class today Sooooooooo nice to have you!" There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but I shrugged it off.

"Oh, well you know me…love blowing stuff up." I replied to him and made my way to my desk in the back of the room.

My desk buddy was watching me as I made my way to the table. She was someone who I had only known since the beginning of this school year (which had only been about a month) and was already very close to me. As if I had known her my whole life.

"Hey dog breath, why are you late?" She whispered in a joking yet harsh tone.

"Good morning to you too, Midna." I sat back in my seat and offered her a small smile.

"That didn't answer my question." She leaned over and lightly punched my shoulder just before she crossed her own arms and rose her eyebrow. I stared at her for a minute, noticing that her long orange hair was tied up in a ponytail. It was different…but I liked it.

"Navi woke me up late." A small sigh passed my lips as I reached into my book bag to grab my Red Potion. Only been in class for five minutes and it had already felt like I was physically drained. I brought the small glass bottle to my mouth and drank about half of the potion. As the sweet liquid dripped down my throat, I felt instantly reenergized. As if I was a video game character who had just regained his health after a big battle.

"You should learn how to wake your own ass up!" she hissed and once again punched my arm.

"Ow!" I groaned and rubbed the area she had just punched.

"AHEM!" I jumped slightly when I heard a loud voice coming from the front of the classroom. "If the two of you could stop flirting, I'd like to get back to my lesson!"

Midna's pale face turned a bright shade of red when she was accused of flirting. We both instantly shut up and sunk back into our seats. She then rolled her eyes with a small smirk was glued to her face. And from what I know about Midna, that usually meant something interesting, or bad was about to happen. And since we were in a class filled with explosive and fiery tools. It was probably gonna be a good idea to duck in a moment.

Mr. Barnes went back to teaching us about how an underwater bomb worked. While he spoke, he had a metal welding mask over his face. His face was muffled, but he always spoke loudly so it wasn't much of an issue.

Everyone in the class had pair of thick glassed goggles to protect our eyes from any incidents. Our teacher started to carefully open up one of the bombs and I immediately snapped my goggles on. My eyes dared to Midna and her small smirk had turned into a large Maniacal smile.

It was about to happen!

Mr. Barnes lifted the opening of the newly opened water bomb. Talking to us about the safety precautions and how we needed to know each section of the inside. My desk partner immediately ducked under our desk and I followed her actions as soon as I did. A loud BOOM made the entire room tremble and bits of debris and dust filled the room.

My eyes widened and I shot up. Inhaling some of the dust I started coughing hysterically. But what I saw was somewhat hilarious. Mr. Barnes was standing, wide eyed in front of the room. His welding mask was blown off his face and black marks were across his face. He didn't seem to be in any pain thankfully.

"Midna!" I whispered loudly and pulled her up by the arm. "Why did you do that?!

"I felt like it..!" She was laughing too hard to breathe. Her face was red and smiling brightly.

"That's no excuse! You blew up a teacher!" I tried to sound concerned…but I had to admit…it was hilarious. The whole class was in an uproar of laughter. Mr. Barnes was still standing in front of the room with that face. When suddenly the big steel door at the front of the room slammed open and the room went instantly quiet. A very tall, tan man (his skin was so tan it was almost black) with orange hair walked in the room, eyeing us all with his small yellow eyes. No one dared to speak in the presence of Principle Ganondorf. There were rumors that if anyone made any joke or smiled around him, they would be thrown out and get eaten by the Lizalfos. I personally did not want to find out if that was true or not…so I remained quiet.

"….What was that loud sound I just heard..?" His voice boomed throughout the room and a small bead of sweat dripped down my face. Mr. Barnes eyed the class and his gaze rested on Midna. Something told me that he knew it was her who had set up the bomb. But, our teacher knew about how cruel our principle could be.

"N…nothing…well…a bomb went off…but it was my own fault. I touched it the wrong way."

Midna snickered silently right next to me and leaned in. "That's what she said." She whispered and I couldn't help but smile in response. Ganondorf's eyes darted to the sound of small laughing and snarled. That's when my heart nearly stopped in my chest.

Midna was going to get it now…

He started at her for a moment, then back at the teacher.

"I see…well aside from that…I have an announcement." The tall man turned towards everyone and places both his hands behind his back. "I'm pleased to tell you all that we have a new student who will be joining us today." His head turned and he motioned for someone to come in the room.

In came a boy with short blonde hair…or it had looked short when I first saw. But when I got a good look, I noticed he had a long pony tail that went down to his rear end. He wore a white beanie and had all blue on, a long sleeved blue shirt and tight skinny jeans. On his shirt was a red image though. It looked like one large eye with a single large tear drop coming from it.

"Class, please give a warm welcome to Sheik."

In unison the whole class said Hello Sheik in a dull manner. Sheik said nothing in return; he only nodded and scanned the room with his sharp red eyes. My eyes linked with his for a moment, and my heart nearly stopped beating. He seemed not to have the same reaction since his eyes moved away and I slumped back in my seat.

"Hey…you okay?" Midna leaned close to me and poked my stomach.

"Yeah I'm fine…hey…you wanna go to KFC later?"

Midna tilted her head at the random question, and a small blush crossed her cheeks.

"Kakariko Fried Cucco…? Wow you must be such a romantic." She joked and nodded. "Yeah I guess I'll meet you there after school lets out." She turned her face away, but smiled like a school-girl. I nodded and turned my attention back to the new student. When I did, my heart skipped a beat again.

What is up with this guy?

I figured it was nothing really. But no one had ever made my heart skip a beat like that…not even my current girlfriend. A small sigh escaped my lips and I leaned my hand over to Midna and offered her a smile.

"It's a date then." I smiled and took her hand in mine holding it under the table. Her eyes widened and she acted like she didn't hear or notice me.

My attention was drawn back to the front of the class when Mr. Barnes started speaking again.

"Let's see…Sheik you can sit in the back next to Link."

My expression changed completely from happy to upset. I didn't wanna sit near this guy of he made me react this way every time I looked at him.

"Link, raise your hand so Sheik can see you." I was hesitant but I raised my free hand in the air, keeping a firm grip of Midna's hand. The new student nodded and made his way in the open seat on the other side of me. Midna let go of my hand and ran it through her hair.

"There goes all our fun in this class…" she mumbled to herself and crossed her arms. Sheik sat down beside me and said nothing. He only glanced at me for a moment.

I could tell that this guy was seriously going to piss me off!
