DISCALIMER: I DO NOT (and never will T_T) OWN THE LEGEND OF ZELDA! I JUST WRITE THE STORIES

Chapter Four

-The The first Week Of School-

An old man walks into the room. He has a large round stomach and small circular brown eyes. His one eyebrow was arched downwards at the bridge of his nose before shooting straight up past his head, he had a thick mustache, a white beard and his white hair was balding pretty badly since, he seemed to be just a few years away from looking like Mr. Clean (A/N Had to put that joke in lol).

"Ah Zelda dear" The old man starts suddenly, "I've just canceled your appointment...Are you sure you are feeling alright?" I don't think he even noticed I was there because he didn't bother to look in my direction, he was too focused on Zelda.

Zelda looked up from the ground and to the old man. She still looked pretty embarrassed since her cheeks were lightly dusted with red.

Apparently this was noticed by the man because his frantic cry filled the room,

"Why, look at your face! It's all red! Maybe I shouldn't have canceled the appointment today!"

I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious as to what this old man was so concerned about, but it wasn't my business and I don't get into things that don't evolve me.

Zelda shakes her head "No! I'm fine it's just-" her eyes briefly flicker to mine and instantly her face brightens, making her pigment look something similar to a tomato's. The man follows her gaze to me and gives me a confused look.

"I'm fine you don't have to worry! I have to go since I'm late for class!" Zelda exclaims quickly. She's hardly able to catch her breath before running out the room.

I watch as she leaves. Looks like I really got to her.

"You must be Raven's nephew!"

My head turns to the old man. I guess he decides that Zelda's OK and doesn't need whatever that appointment was, because his facial expression went from worried to beaming with joy in a flash.

"I'm Gaepora the headmaster, please sit, sit" he beckons to a chair that's in front of the desk, just in front of the large window that covered most of the back wall.

So this was the Gaepora my uncle was talking about. He sounds maybe too eager to meet me. I slowly make my way to the chair while Gaepora seats himself on the big leather arm chair across from me.

"Ah yes, your family tells me you have had troubles at past schools. I however am thrilled to have you! Raven is a good friend of mine. It's incredible, the resemblance between you two" Gaepora said with fascination.

I frown.

By the way he was talking, I could tell he thought I would be just like Raven. I bet that's why he accepted me in this stupid school in the first place. He's probably such good friends with my uncle that he thinks he can throw away all my problems and have faith that I'm not the troubled kid he was warned about.

"Trust me that won't be your thinking for long. I'm a few weeks you'll be kicking me out yourself" I responded with a short laugh.

Gaepora then burst out laughing in a chorus of "Ho, Ho, Ho's"

"You seem so sure of yourself!"

"That's because I am" I reply annoyed at his reaction.

He stopped his laughter and looked me dead in the eye.

"Then I guess we'll be seeing about that, now won't we?"

"I guess so" I say agree.

Gaepora looked at me for a minute then picked up with his weird laugh again.

If he was bothered at all by my tone and choice of words he didn't show it. Which surprised me, I've gotten into trouble before for talking back in school. I wondered what made this place any different. Was it just because Raven and Gaepora had history together? Or was this place full with a bunch of idiots?

"School has already started, I suppose I should send you to class, but you didn't miss anything since it's a half day today" Geapora starts looking at the clock on the wall. "Why don't I show you around the school? That way when you come in tomorrow you'll know where your classes are. It's amazing how many students get lost their first day here." He looks back at me waiting for an answer.

"Great" I mumble

Gaepora was just as annoying as everyone else here in Hyrule.

With his talk.

His laugh even when things weren't funny.

And how he completely ignored any smart ass comment I made, which was starting to make the whole 'Get-kicked-out-of-school-thing' hard.

Not only that, but, the tour of the school was taking more time than I expected. The school was enormous and I'd basically been following him around the whole morning. We went down a bunch of different hallways and up really long staircases. I couldn't really see the point of the tour since it would be close to impossible for me to remember where my classes were tomorrow.

"And finally, this is the courtyard" Gaepora states, stopping dead in his tracks.

We stop right in the middle of an outdoor hallway overlooking a large space where students have gathered.

"This is where the students will go on free period..." Gaepora keeps talking but I drown out his words and take a look around the vast space in front of me.

The courtyard had a white stone pathway that zigzagged across it, in the big spaces where it wasn't stone, patches of bright green grass grew from the ground. There a few benches placed on the grass, a big circular water fountain was in the middle of the yard underneath more white stone and tall oak trees were planted in the corners.

Bright flower patches were lining the outside walls. Some students are sitting on the benches talking with friends, some are eating lunch, and some were studying in groups, although it seemed like most of them were laughing and talking with each other rather than studying.

Then I fix my eyes on the blond haired girl underneath an oak tree.

Zelda was nose deep in a book, sitting peacefully on the grass.

All alone.

Which was weird to see, especially after everyone else was with a least one person. Not only that, but nobody seemed to even look in her direction. She didn't seem bothered by the fact that everyone was completly ignoring her. Maybe she didn't notice, Zelda seemed to be really interested in what she was reading. For split second I felt sorry for her but then i remembered this morning.

'I bet she stares at people for no reason like she did with me earlier today' I think to myself.

If that was the case, then I don't blame them for not paying any attention to her. She's probably the weird girl in school.

Then, just as she's about to turn the page of her book, she slowly lifts up her head.

Her eyes meet mine.

At first she straightens up and her face flushes bright red. I see her try hide her blush by covering half her face with her book. I couldn't help but grin at her and bite my lip trying to hold back a laugh.

I guess she notices me smiling because her eyes give off a shocked expression. Then she brings the book down and I see her smile at me.

A soft smile.

My face heated up as soon as she did.

She was more than cute when she smiled, she was pretty.

Prettier than a lot of girls I've met.

I quickly turn my head away from her gaze.

"Something wrong?" Gaepora asked me curiously.

"…I hate this place" I say irritated.

Finally the loud school bell rung, signaling the end of school. After having been on my feet for pretty much the whole morning and some of the afternoon, (meeting new teachers, finding my classrooms, things like that) I was finally able to leave. The hallways we're filled pretty quickly. I make my way through the swarm of students towards the front of the school.

When I make it outside, I'm about to leave the schools gates when something grabs my shoulder and spins me around.

A smirk threatens to form on my face when I see who's there.

Groose was in front of me, he seemed just as mad as earlier…maybe worse. Two boys were behind him. One had short dark brown hair with brown eyes, his freckled face was scrunched up into a frown. He seemed to be looking straight as Groose, and I figure he looks upset because of what is about to happen.

The other boy beside Groose was short, his dark green hair was parted in two and swept to each sides of his face. He had small round brown eyes seemed to widen at the sight of me. Unless I was seeing things, just by looking at me, he seemed to become very afraid and nervously looked away towards his feet.

The brown haired boy looked at me then at Groose. "Groose let's go you shouldn't fight on school grounds anyway, I'm vice student council president remember? Just because we are friends don't think I won't tell-."

"Pipit this will be over quickly" Groose assures still glaring at me.

"Over quickly? I didn't think you were in such a rush to get beat up" I retort.

Maybe it was just me but I swear Pipit smirked at my remark, before sighing loudly. "Hurry up then. Come on Fledge" he says to the nervous boy who looks as if someone is about to punch him in the face. The so called vice student president and Fledge walk past me.

The other students must have seen us because soon there was another ring of excited people around Groose and I, just like this morning.

"Let's finish what we started" Groose says dropping his bag to the ground.

I did the same since I was more than happy to accept his challenge. Finally this day was starting to turn around.

We both prepared ourselves.

"W-wait! Please wait!" I heard a pleading female voice come from the crowd.

I notice Groose straightened his position, by the way his eyes widened I could tell he knew who it was. The voice did sound familiar but I looked around to who called out to us anyway.

Then I see her as she makes her out of the dense crowd, and I sigh deeply.

Everyone watched as Zelda took a place inside the circle. She stood next to Groose and I, looking very disappointed at the both of us.

"Groose you know that fighting on school grounds could result in suspension. Not only that, but it's extremely dangerous!" She may have been trying to sound harsh but her voice was so small it didn't really sound like she was angry with us at all.

The students seemed to all sigh loudly at the same time before turning to leave. Probably sensing how lame the situation had gotten.

Groose upon making eye contact with Zelda, turned bright red; his face was now the same color as his crazy hair.

"I…I er- it's- well - Wh-what i mean is..."

He sounded as stupid as he looked, stammering like that. Zelda (seeming to be completely oblivious to his strange attitude) turns to me. Once again, her eyes and mine lock on.

I scowl at her worried expression.

"I'm sorry, This is really no way to treat a new student" she says sincerely.

This may have been the first time she's actually said something to me in a normal sentence. Her voice sounded...how should i put this? It was almost delicate, but very smooth and soft, maybe what a mother's voice should sound like to her child, although much more nicer than that.

I don't think I'd ever heard a voice like hers before.

I mentally kick myself, it was weird to be thinking about her voice when whatever comes out of her mouth annoys the hell out of me.

"No one asked you to but in, next time mind your own damn business" I say harshly gaining a death glare from Groose.

"Punk, don't talk to Zelda like that" Groose shouts at me angrily.

"What are you her boyfriend?" I say back at him, reaching for my bag on the ground. Groose was to embarrassed to answer, Zelda too had a slight pink color on her cheeks.

"Whatever, Zelda just leave him alone." Groose said "Him" as icily as he possibly could, then looked at Zelda before walking away to Pipit and Fledge who were waiting for him behind us.

Zelda doesn't seem to listen to Groose and keeps her feet planted where they were, her eyes on me.

I don't want to take another moment alone with her and I was about to turn around and leave, when Zelda calls out to me.

"Um…fighting on school grounds…can result in suspension…so…please be more careful" She says slowly as if she didn't want to get me upset.

But that didn't work because she still managed to piss me off.

I turn to face her, "I don't care, it's better that way anyway" I say annoyed.

A disconcerted look painted her face "What exactly do you mean?"

I turn back around "Nothing, just leave me alone" I say quickly before turning around and walking away.

I think I don't need to say how much I hate Hyrule High.

And with each passing day, I seemed to hate it more. No matter what I did to get kicked out of this school, nothing seemed to work. I'd either end up in detention or end up having a "Talk" with Gaepora, that is, if you could even call it a talk. All he really did was say how I should try to avoid getting into trouble, then I'd respond with a "don't count on it" and he'd laugh.

Raven was probably informed about me getting into trouble during the first few days but I never went home on time to deal with the consequences. To avoid being yelled at by Raven I headed downtown to hang out in the arcade at the mall. Which seemed to be a local hotspot for the students at Hyrule High. Since, every now and then, I'd see people with the Hyrule High uniform.

When I got back home on those days Raven was waiting for me on the couch, all he ever did was look at me, (I could sense he was to tired to deal with me) and just sighed before walking upstairs and going to sleep. It surprised me how much he let me have my way. It was kind of hard to tell what he was thinking when I come home late, but since he doesn't say anything, I'm looking at it as he doesn't give a fuck.

Anyway, the thing that really ticked me off about my school was the classes, or not so much the classes, but who I shared them with.

Groose, Pipit, and Fledge were in my History, biology classes (They are in my Gym classes too).

Zelda was in my History, biology, and English classes. She had gym with us too, but she didn't do anything. She spent all of her time sitting on a chair that was placed in a corner. I don't really care enough to ask why she doesn't join the rest of the class so I just ignore her.

All the teachers pretty much hate me, which I guess is because I always talk back and come to class 10 minutes after it starts and so far, I haven't bothered to bring in any of the homework that has been assigned.

The only thing good about this school are the girls in my class. Most of these rich girls really caught my attention, especially the class president Orielle. Orielle was my age although she looked a year or two older. She had fair skin with mossy green eyes, and a round face with long brown hair, that was usually separated in two braids that fell past her waist.

She hung out with what seemed to be the most popular girls in the school. I say that because all the boys practically drooled over their group whenever they walked past them. I dont blame them though, I might as well have been one e of those drooling boys myself because whenever they passed by It was hard for me not to look at them. I guess it wasn't creepy since they seemed to stare at me too, and it was hard to miss the wide smiles on their faces as they passed me in the halls or when I entered the class room.

Only a few days had passed so I didn't know all their names, but there were at least 4 of them who were each in at least one of my classes. And since they were just as good looking as Orielle, I was seriously considering going after all of them. Looking at Zelda for the first time I would have thought she could have fit pretty well in their group, but she seemed to nervous to talk with them. And they made no effort to talk with her, just like everyone else they ignored her.

Sometimes I noticed her staring at them from across the room, I couldn't quite read the expression on her face, but she looked almost sad. Once, Zelda caught me staring at her, she probably smiled at me but I couldn't tell you for sure because I had turned my head away the second she looked at me.

"YOU TAKE NOTES IN MY CLASS NOT NAPS!" my teacher, Ms Ashei scolded at the end of English Friday Morning. "Detention today after school!" she yelled loudly as if to wake me up more.

"Great" came my sarcastic reply.

It had been my third detention in my first week at Hyrule High, all given by Ms. Ashei, all for sleeping in her class.

"Go to your next class" she ordered.

I take no hesitation and sleepily leave the empty English class room. I should have ditched school today...or at least i would have, but I haven't really been given the opportunity since Raven seems to like waiting just outside the school to make sure I go past the gates in the morning. Unfortunately for me, he decides to leave right after the school gates close, and it's physically impossible to climb the gates so I have no choice but to attend my classes.

When I get to my locker I pull out my class schedule (which I haven't even bothered to memorize) and sigh. History class was next which was by far the worst class.

Now, I could live with just sharing a class with Zelda and the red head, but then my jackass of a teacher thought it was a good idea to make me sit next to Zelda, which was the main reason I hated History.

Every little thing that came out of Rusl's mouth Zelda would jot down on paper like her life depended on it. Her pencil scratching against the paper was all I was able to hear throughout the class. Not only that but she'd poke me with her pencil if I tried to go to sleep! Then she'd mouth"You're not supposed to sleep in class" or something along those lines.

It was safe to say she was the most annoying peoson I've ever met.

Anyway, I'm forced to do nothing but listen to her pencil against her paper for 45minutes. Groose just glares at me from time to time. I don't pay much attention to him though, if he wants a fight he knows where to find me.

I take my time getting to Rusl's class. I don't make it to the room until after the hallways are perfectly empty.

When I enter the room, Rusl is writing on the board and everone is seated. Some of the class turn to look at me when I shut the door.

"Swell of you to join us" Rusl says, too busy writing on the white board to look in my direction.

I just yawn in response. Then walk over to my seat next to her. She, like always, was writing in her notebook like a mad person. Her eyes shifting from the notebook to the white board only to make sure she'd written down everything correctly.

The good thing about coming in late was that she didn't give me that stupid smile of hers and say "Good Morning" or "Good afternoon" (depending on the time of day I have History) like when she does when I come in on time. She seemed to focused on getting her notes right that she didn't even notice I was there. I slowly take my seat trying my best not to do anything that might suddenly get her attention, like pulling my chair out to fast or dropping my text books on my desk to loudly. Luckily when I was seated she still was paying attention to Rusl.

"Before we proceed…" Rusl starts turning to face the class. "I have some news that you might be excited about, regarding the next few weeks." The students, who were all half asleep an drooling out of boredom just seconds ago, now looked curious and wide awake.

I notice Zelda drop her pencil and then she turns to look at me her eyes sparkle as she smiles "Good afternoon" she beams.

I ignore her and lean forward in my seat. I stare blankly in the front, comfortably placing my arm on my desk and bringing the palm of my hand underneath my chin.

"Well, the school has decided to throw a party for all of the students. It's sort of like a time to get to know one another better, especially since there are so many new students that have come to Hyrule High this year."

The class room was full of excited mummers. I didn't get what the big deal was, honestly, we'd be seeing each other almost every day till school lets out, what was the point?

"It'll be held on the 18th so remember that if you want to come..." Rusl keeps talking over the noise but I stop listening when I hear Zelda from right next to me.

"Are you going" Zelda asks me. I could hear a hint of excitement in her voice.

"No" I respond coldly.

"Why not?" She wondered.

'Do I really need to give you an answer?" I shot back.

"N-no I was just-"

"Then leave me alone"

She didn't say anything after that.

"So it starts at the end of school and goes on till 7:30. I think I've covered just about it…Any questions" Rusl asks. The whole class seemed to shake their heads at the same time.

"Great then let's get back to work!" He says spinning back around continuing to write on the board. Zelda started writing aggressively again and I pretty much mentally zoned out until Rusl was announcing the end of class. The bell rung and school was over, I was definitely not going to spend an hour in detention with Ashei. The class began to pack their books into their bags and leave the room. Zelda took her time putting her notes away in her folder; I swear she was going one page at a time.

I was walking towards the door when Rusl stops me, "Link, detention will be in my room today, Ashei had to leave early this afternoon."

Shit.

I walk back to my seat. Zelda had finally put everything in her bag and walked past me. Not bothering to share her usual goodbye smile, which made me wonder if I'd finally gotten to her.

"Zelda you haven't forgotten have you"

Zelda froze just as she was about to leave the class. "I…I was just thinking I could sign it tomorrow" she said nervously. Of course I didn't know what they we're talking about, but seeing how it was either listen to their conversation or start my Algebra homework, I decided to listen.

"Nonsense! It'll take five minutes. Grab a seat I'll get the form" Rusl says before rummaging through his desk drawers.

"Ok" Zelda squeaked out, clearly not wanting to sign anything. She took a seat in the front, placing her bag at the side of her. Rusl gets up moments later with a few sheets of paper in his hand and places them in front of Zelda, smiling as he does.

"Thank you" Zelda says kindly before getting a pencil out of her bag. She begins to write on the paper immediately. Rusl sits back at his desk and looks at me.

"So Link what did you do to get into detention?" He asks.

"Nothing" I mumble trying to drop the conversation.

"Nothing?" he questions doubtfully

"Nothing" I repeat "Ashei's just a bitc-"

"Language! Remember we are still in school!" Rusl calls out quickly. He doesn't seem to be upset at all.

I see a slight smile spread on Zelda's face.

"Whatever" I sigh.

A few minutes pass. Ruls tells me to start on my homework, in order to fool him I open up my text book and pretend to be reading it. Zelda is still filling out whatever Rusl gave her.

This couldn't get any lamer.

"Ah, I'll be right back" Rusl exclaims after a few more minutes breaking the silence. "Zelda you wouldn't mind watching this trouble maker would you?" he ask's hastily as if he couldn't wait for an answer. Zelda opened her mouth but nothing came out fast enough since Rusl was soon out of the room.

Zelda sat completely still for a moment before writing again.

'Great.'

I think sourly.

'As if having her sit next to me wasn't enough, now she's my babysitter.'

I sigh. Maybe I should just leave, I doubt she'd even notice, not that she could do much if she did.

Acting on my thoughts, I stood from my seat and begin to walk out of the classroom. Just as I was passing her desk (she stayed completely oblivious as I did) I caught a glimpse of what she was writing on. In bold letters at the top of the paper were the words:

HYLIAN ORCHESTRA SIGN UP FORM

Zelda was filling out several questions below in complex paragraphs. Then, slowly, her head turns and she sees me. There's a short staring contest between the two of us, then her eyes grow wide while she blushes and jumps out of her chair, clutching the paper to her chest looking very embarrassed.

"Wh-what are you doing?"she blurts out so quickly, it almost sounded as if she'd just spoke a different language.

I guess she didn't notice that I'd been trying to sneak out.

"You play?" I ask becoming just slightly curious.

I wasn't really sure why I wanted to know, or if I even cared. Maybe I just asked to change the subject. If she found out I'd been trying to sneak out I'd bet anything that she'd go on and on about how much trouble I'd get in.

She looks at me with those eyes of hers, I wasn't really sure what was going on in her head, maybe she was shocked by the question. After all, I've made it pretty clear how much I wanted nothing to do with her. Her expression turns in to a smile and she nods her head.

"No one besides my family have ever heard me play before…I don't really know if I'm ready to perform in front of so many people" she said sadly.

"But, with my music, I want to reach people."

Im not sure if I heard that last part right, she almost whispered it. If I had heard it right, she was confusing me. "reach people"? What did she mean by that. There was a short pause, but honestly I didn't know what to say to Zelda. After all, I didn't ask for an explanation...I just wanted to know if she played.

She then looks at me suspiciously "What where you doing? We're you...trying to sneak out?"

I didn't answer, but I didn't need to since it was written all over my face.

"Ah! But you can't sneak out! You'll get into more trouble if you do!" Zelda says.

"Like it matters" I start heatedly "The more trouble I get into the better."

She stares at me blankly "Why?"

"I didn't ask to be here that's why! So I'll do whatever I can to get the hell out!"

'Dammit shut up!' I shouted in my head. Already I was telling her more than I ever wanted.

Zelda looks at me closely and doesn't say anything at first.

"You are...so different" she says finally, as of to confirm a suspicion.

What was that? An insult? A complement? I didn't care, I just felt the anger boil up inside me. I didn't even know why I was mad. She really hadn't done anything wrong. But I snap at her anyway and words fly out of my mouth, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Zelda must have heard how upset I was and probably thought that I took it as an insult because her face quickly becomes apologetic "No I-I didn't mean it as-"

"What's going on?"

Oh... this is sorta like the ending in the last chapter o_o
