OH. EM. GEE. It's been too long since the last update. Oh, and I changed some stuff in the other chapters. So now Ilia is Zelda's little sister and Mr. Ganondorf is now Mr. Ganon. I have my reasons for changing this. I made Ilia Zelda's little sis because, after reading the cutest fanfic ever, I wanted Dark and Malon together. That wouldn't be able to happen if Malon was a 'little sister.' So Malon is now Zelda's BF (that stands for 'best friend', telling you that before I get flamed). And I changed Mr. Ganondorf to Mr. Ganon just because I don't want to type those extra four letters. I know I'm lazy ^3^ Soo, yeah.

Oh, and this chapter has some *strong language* in it. I know, I don't usually type like that, but it was actually needed for the moment, or else Link would not be taken seriously.

BTW, This chapter is kind of short. But would you rather have a short chapter or have to wait longer for a longer chapter? ^_^ I think we can all agree on the answer.

Disclaimer!

Dark: Soooo...

Me: What?

Link: Do you... y'know...

Me: *sighs dramatically* No, I don't own the Legend of Zelda if that's what you're asking.

Dark: See Link? I told you!

Link: ...

Me: Geez Dark, that kinda hurt.

Dark: ...Sorry.

Chapter 3

Dark and I finally approached the door to Mr. Ganon's classroom. I swear... this man has some sort of problem with me or something. I hesitated at the door. I raised both my eyebrows, pinched the bridge of my nose lightly, sighed, and shook my head. I hope we don't go through the motions today. Not right after meeting Dark.

Dark sounded concerned as he put a hand on my shoulder. "Link, are you alright?" He asked.

I kept my attention focused on the doorknob. "Yeah, it's just..." I trailed. If I took the time to explain why I really don't like this class to Dark, we would only be even more late to class than we already were. The bell rang about five minutes ago. Hmm... no. I shouldn't waste anymore time. "Ah, nevermind. It's nothing." I said, bringing a hand up to my head. I could feel a headache coming on.

"Are you sure?"

I thought about it for a moment. "Actually, no. I have to ask you to do something for me."

Dark furrowed his eyebrows and said slowly, "Okay."

I plastered on a fake smile, looked at him, and said, "Please try to ignore everything that's going to happen in the next few minutes."

"Um... alright. I can do that." Dark said quietly.

"Thanks." I muttered, opening the door.

As soon as I stepped into the room, about twenty-four pairs of eyes focused on me. When I looked back at some of the faces, some people scowled at me, others gave a small smile, and everyone else just had a 'I don't care' expression. Mr. Ganon didn't try to hide the fact that he was glaring at me. I guess it goes without saying that this class is not kind. My eyebrow twitched a little at this. Mr. Ganon sighed and motioned me over to his desk. I slowly walked over. I looked back at Dark, who followed me to the desk.

When Dark and I stood in front of the desk, I took a breath to explain the situation when Mr. Ganon spoke first. "Link." He said flatly, looking at his watch. "You're five minutes late."

Well, I was probably going to be a little late anyways, so why is it such a big deal? "Sorry about that, I'll try-"

Mr. Ganon cut me off. "I don't need your apologies."

My eyebrow twitched again. "Fine." I said simply. I watched as Mr. Ganon rolled his eyes at me and turned to Dark.

He looked him up and down before asking, "And who are you?"

Dark fidgeted and said softly, "Um... My name is Dark Sombra."

Mr. Ganon raised an eyebrow and said, "Speak up. I can't hear you if you mumble."

I guess Dark chose to ignore that last comment and said a little louder, "My name is Dark Sombra."

Mr. Ganon nodded a little. "Okay. And why are you here and not in your respective classroom?"

Dark unzipped his bag and pulled out a folder as he talked. "I'm actually a new student here at Hyrule High. I got the school uniform at the beginning of the month and I got my schedule yesterday afternoon." He paused, pulled his schedule out of his folder, and handed it to Mr. Ganon. "When I was utterly lost and wandering the halls, I ran into Link here and he turned me the right way. And, it just so happens to be true that Link and I have the exact same schedules. What luck!" Dark looked at me and smiled brightly.

"You're too happy-go-lucky for your own good..." Mr. Ganon grumbled. Woah, talk about raining on the parade! He looked over the schedule and handed it back to Dark. With a sigh, he said, "It turns out that you are in my class... Well, consider your welcoming gift a detention. There's one for you, too, Link."

"What?" Dark and I said at the same time.

"You were both late to class... The punishment is the same regardless if you are new or not..." Mr. Ganon said through gritted teeth, seemingly growing more and more irritable in our presence.

I was about to say something, but Dark nudged me and gave me a look that said, "Don't." I sighed.

"Well, aside from all that," Dark said, obviously changing the subject. "Where should I sit?"

Mr. Ganon groaned under his breath and said, "There's an empty seat in the back for you..."

I heard what he had said perfectly, but Dark seemed to have some trouble. Before he could ask Mr. Ganon to repeat what he had said, I nudged him and said softly, "That means you sit next to me now."

He smiled back and nodded. I turned to Mr. Ganon and said, "We'll be going now."

He sighed and made a 'shoo' motion, rubbing his temples. I ignored it and turned around, moving towards the seats. Man, am I glad to be away from there. I paused in front of the desks when Dark tugged on my arms and smiled sheepishly as if to say, "Um, where do you sit? And where will I be sitting?"

I smirked and pointed out my seat. "I sit there," I whispered, and then pointed to the seat next to it, "And you sit there."

Dark nodded and moved to his seat while I moved to mine. I grumbled when someone tried to trip me. I smirked when I heard a small groan of defeat. Serves them right. I stepped over two or three bags in the aisle. When the person realized I had to step over it they mumbled a soft 'sorry' and moved it out of the way. I muttered an 'it's alright' in reply. How come all of the nice people were so shy?

When I thought the coast was clear of anything I might trip over, I lifted my gaze and quickened my pace to my desk. But, of course, he caught me at the last moment and tripped me, making me stumble the rest of the way to my seat. Not-so-quiet laughter erupted from the seats around me, and I rolled my eyes and groaned. That jerk that sits in front of me settled himself in his chair with a smug look on his face. I scowled at him and sat down.

"Looks like Linky's got a new friend." Sheik turned around and smirked at me, his red eyes practically glowing as he flipped his blonde hair dramatically.

Some of the girls around us squealed. "Yeah, and?" Dark said. I looked over shocked, because I could've sworn he wasn't there a second ago. Just leave it to Dark to seemingly materialize out of thin air.

Sheik glared at him. "Don't talk to that freak." He said, motioning to me. "He doesn't have real parents."

Sheik's words wrung at my heart. Just because I'm adopted doesn't mean... no. I won't let his words get to me. Dark turned to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Link?"

I frowned and looked away, crossing my arms over my chest. "It's nothing." I said through gritted teeth.

Sheik, noticing this, reached out and grabbed my chin, lifting it and forcing me to look at him. "I guess I struck a nerve, eh Linky?"

I scowled and grabbed his wrist, moving it away from my chin. There was only one way to describe him. "Arrogant bastard." I growled, sending him the fiercest glare I could manage. I threw his wrist to the side, trying to signify that I was done talking to him.

But of course, he couldn't take the hint. "Ah, so Linky's learned a little French has he? 'Bout time."

I rolled my eyes and scowled. Dark decided to finish up, seeing as I was done. "Just shut up." He said, shaking his head.

Sheik turned to Dark and said with a smirk, "Make me."

Before Dark could do anything that might get him suspended or something, I stopped him and grabbed Sheik's shirt collar. I tugged until our faces were mere inches away and growled lowly so only he could hear me, "Alright, Sheik, that's enough. I just about had it with this damn attitude of yours. Tease and taunt me all you want, but get Dark involved in this, and I will kick your ass." I pushed back and let go of his collar, mumbling incoherent things under my breath as I reached down and got my books out of my bag.

Sheik instantly backed off and turned back around with a dismissive, "So he's mastered French, I see."

When I had all my books out I placed them all on my desk, trying not to slam them. Dark just stared at me and was about to say something to Sheik when I held up a hand. "Just let it go." I said simply.

Dark, taking into account how much Sheik ticked me off, sighed, nodded, and reached down to get his books.

I leaned back in my chair and sighed, agitated. I was wrong.

Today was going to be an absolutely long day.

So there you have it. Sheik was an absolute butt, wasn't he? I know, it's waaay OOC. But I couldn't think of anyone else. Now don't get me wrong, I love Sheik, he's really awesome, it's just I couldn't think of anyone else to take up that role.

...Okay, maybe Mido or someone like that might have worked, but seriously. I came up with Sheik and it'll stay that way.

Geez.

Soo, yeah. I feel like this story has been neglected lately because my other story, The Dark Powers Within Him, has been really distracting. I just got an exciting moment in and I've been itching to write that story. But I felt the need to work on this first. So umm, you guys can thank my guilty conscience for this chapter.

Umm.

So uh, review and whatnot. I'll see you on the next chapter.

Until then.
