Chapter 8: Reunion
The next day
Link got only 4 hours of sleep last night, because so much stuff ran through his head. Everything, from Zelda to the monsters attacks. He got up, ate, got dressed for school, locked his door to his house, and walked to school, tired. He went to his 1st hour class and sat in his seat. Once he sat down he plopped his head on his desk and started to doze off but—
"Um, hi." Zelda interrupted Link's sleep phase
"Takefunew…" Link mumbled while his head was face down on his desk.
"Um, I'm sorry?" she asked
He lifted his head up, "Thank you," he layed his head back down.
"What for?"
"Franrankingmaoop…" he mumbled
"Huh?"
He lifted his head back up, "For waking me up."
"Oh…."
"I'm sorry; I didn't get much sleep last night so I," he yawned," sorry, that was rude."
She giggled, 'that's cute,' she smiled, "its ok, I think I might have the solution for your problem though.
"Really, how?" he asked
She got face to face with him which caused him to blush and widened his eyes. She then said, "Come with me." She backed away and headed for the door.
'Well whatever she has planned I think I'm already up with her face being that close to mine, gosh.' Link thought. He then got up and followed Zelda to a soda machine.
She stuck a green rupee in (amount in my mind is $1) and pressed the Mountain Dew button. The soda came out the bottom, Zelda took it, and handed it to Link, "here".
Link raised an eyebrow, "Mountain Dew?"
"Yeah, I know it's silly, but you never know it could help."
"Hmm, well I never had soda before…"
"Really? You never had any?"
"Well," he shrugs, "just wanted to stay fit and stuff".
"Ok, well one soda won't ruin your plan on staying fit."
"Ha, alright." He gulped down the soda without stopping. Zelda's eyes widened as she watched him gulp the soda down. "Mmmmm, not bad." He said
A sweat drop fell from Zelda's face, "Glad you think so…"
"Thanks for the soda."
"No problem," she noticed part of Link's bandage showing, "Um, Link?"
"Yeah?"
"What happened to your arm?" she pointed to his upper arm.
"Uh….what this?" he pointed to his arm, "This is um, well I'll tell you what it is its uh…. A cat! Yeah, over the weekend I found a stray cat. I thought I could pick it up and stroke it but it uh, scratched me?"
"Right there?" she pointed to his arm again while raising an eybrow
"As you can see."
"Well, I guess you wouldn't mind showing me then?"
"Show you? You mean take the bandage off? Um…."
"Link, show me. I'm smarter than you think and I know you wouldn't have any kind of bandage for a cat scratch. Also, I can tell you're lying."
"Ok, ok I'll show you." He sighed as he unwrap the bandage. Zelda gasped when she saw a large scratch much bigger than what a cat could make.
"What happened?" Zelda asked concerned
"Well, the reason why I didn't want to tell you, 'cause I didn't want you to worry."
"Just tell me…please?" she pleaded
He sighed, "It's nothing, I was just attacked by a pack of wolf things…"
"What? Oh my goddesses! Are you ok?"
"Obviously…"
"I mean, did you get hurt anywhere else?"
"Nope, just my arm; although, my leg does hurt a little…"
"Your left leg?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Um, lucky guess? Also, I noticed you weren't walking quite right."
"Great, I must look like some kind of crazy looking zombie or something."
"Hehe. Ok, well I hope you get better and where did this happen?"
"Zelda, let's just drop this…you can worry about me later." He smirked.
"Fine, at least you're awake now." She smiled
"Ha, yeah…"
Ok, let's get back to class hero."
"Hero? How am I a hero?"
"….I was kidding…." She said a little nervously.
"Well, one of these days I'm gonna be the greatest swordsman, so yeah I'll probably be a hero. Heh."
"Let's go silly."
"Yeah yeah."
They went back to class and the day went by and it was now lunch time.
"Hey Link?" Zelda asked
"Yeah?" Link responded.
"I was just wondering if you will be sitting with me and my friends today."
"Oh right, that's today….Sure, might as well get this over with…."
"Good, oh Link?"
"Hmmm?"
"I need to ask you something private after school, ok?"
"Um, ok…" 'Is she going to ask me out? Yeah Link, let's keep thinking stupid thoughts …and talking to myself…Well whatever, it probably has nothing to do with me….'
In the cafeteria
They got their food then they head towards Zelda's table. Zelda spoke, "Hey guys, this is the new transfer student, Link."
"Hi…" Link mumbled looking down.
Mido looked up at Link, "Link Foster?" Link glared up at him.
Saria asked, "Oh, do you know him?"
Mido looked away and whispered to himself, "I wish I didn't…"
"What was that?" asked Saria
"Uh…" he looked back at Link with a fake smile, "It's good to see you again, Link. Haha."
Link raised an eyebrow, "Right…"
Link and Zelda sat down, while Link and Mido game each other an 'I hate you' look."
"So Link, how's it been?" asked Mido
"Not much, what about you?" Link responded
"Oh, everything's fine…. friend."
"Ha! Friend? Who said I was your friend?"
"Ha-ha always the kidder."
Zelda thought, 'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…'
"Right…so how long have you and Saria been dating?" asked Link
"About 2 years now; how 'bout you, find a girl yet?" asked Mido
"No…" Link mumbled
"Really? And have you made any friends?" Mido asked with a smirk
Link thought of an image of him strangling Mido but sighed that Mido was still being a jerk. 'He'll never change…' "So nice of you to ask that, but honestly I thought we were friends? Unless you want to tell Saria that, oh I don't know, we're not?"
He chuckled, "Who would want to be your friend? I mean, of course we're friends, who wouldn't want to be your friend." Mido said
Link rolled his eyes
"Aw, that is so sweet Mido." Saria said
"Yeah right…." Link mumbled
"Jealous?" asked Mido
"Hardly." Link said in disgust
Lunch went on and everyone was done eating and lunch was over. Everyone left the cafeteria once the bell rang and Link was the last to get out. Once he walked out of the cafeteria doors, someone pulled on the back of his shirt and slammed him against a locker. "Woah." Link looked up to find Mido, who pushed him against the locker and was still doing so.
"Listen, you probably know why I was being so nice to you right?" asked Mido
"What? You nice?" Link commented
"Yes, and by the way, I still think you're a freak, so don't think we can be friends."
"Why would that cross my mind?" Link stated
"Shut up!"
"If only Saria knew the real you."
He slammed him against the locker again. "Shut up! She won't find out, and don't you dare tell her."
"Thanks for the idea."
"I really hate you."
"Well, seeing you face doesn't brighten my day either." Said Link
"So," he finally lets go of Link, "now we can just rewind all this and I can start over by making your life miserable." Mido grinned
"Oh darn, and here I thought we could be friends again." Link said sarcastically
"Ha, yeah right."
"Well, how are going to 'make my life miserable'," he used air quotes, "when you're always with Saria?"
"You see, I'm not always with Saria so there are ways. Well, it was nice talking with you, 'buddy'. He punched Link's arm and left.
"…Whatever…" Link mumbled
The day went by and school was over. At Link's locker
'I hate this stupid fucking day; I got to watch what I say Ze—"
"Um hi". Zelda mumbled from behind Link
He slightly smiled and thought, 'She always knows how to cheer me up.' He turned around to face her with a grin and said, "Um, hi to you too."
"Ha ha. So, can we talk?" she asked
"Oh right sure."
"Ok, follow me."
Somewhere private, in a section of the school. It was like a little garden section with a tree and a bench under the tree and near the school building.
"Ok; what do you want to ask me?" Link asked
"Well, it's about…Mido and Saria." Said Zelda
"What about them?"
"I'm worried about Saria…"
"Why?"
"Well, after you told me about Mido and the way he acted at lunch I'm just worried that you know?"
"Oh…I wouldn't worry too much on the matter."
"But Link, I need to do something; what should I do?"
"Zelda, you're asking the wrong person that. I would stab Mido and find Saria another, better guy."
"Oh….well um I don't think that's such a good idea…"
"Zelda, if they've been dating for 2 years and nothing bad has happened then I think everything will be fine."
"But—"
"Stop worrying. I know he cares about her."
"How do you know?"
"Well, after lunch, he pushed me against a locker and started talking about how much he cares about Saria and how much I'm a freak; you know, the usual. She began to cry a little and his eyes widened, "Ek! Zelda, don't cry. Why are you crying?"
"I thought Mido was such a nice guy…but now I don't know what to think."
"Zelda forget about me. I mean Mido is probably nice to everyone, but he has this urge to bully me. It's nothing big."
"But—"
"Zelda, just keep thinking he's a nice guy; afterall, he's nice to everyone but me, so quit worrying…"
"But you're my friend…" she said
Link said nothing and it was quiet until Zelda broke the silence, "So, um how was your weekend?"
"I was alright, I had worse." Link said
"What did you do?" she asked
"Yeah, I was kinda late for my job so Fado made me work harder than hell."
"Oh! What's your job?"
"Oh, right I'm a goat herder. I go to my hometown, Ordon, on weekends since I have school and all. I also go visit Sensei Cozen."
"You have a sensei?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I'm a swordsman and my dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman."
She smiled, "I believe in you."
He returned her smile, "Thanks."
"Oh would you like to tell my parents about yours sometime?"
"Oh yeah…that…well when's a good time?"
"Well I was going to say Friday but your busy those days; how about tomorrow after school?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Cool, well, I guess I should get going; I'll have to ask my parents about tomorrow, it should be fine."
"Alright, I should get going too…um Zelda?"
"Yes?"
"Um," he started to blush, "sorry about that…um…kiss…"
"Oh," she blushed, "it-it's ok."
"Yeah….bye."
"Bye."
He left for his house as she left for hers.
The next day, at school
Link stood at his locker thinking when all of a sudden, someone slammed his locker door shut.
"Hello, old pal." Mido said from behind Link
Link turned to face him, "What do you want?" he asked grudgingly.
"I don't know, thought I would say hi to the freak of the school."
"I'm not a freak…" Link mumbled
"Of course you are; you're just filled with lies. So how much have you lied about?"
"Just drop it; everyone lies!"
"Oh, but not like you, you fre—oh yeah, good times, right buddy?" said Mido.
"Huh?" Link turned to where Mido kept looking and he rolled his eyes to see Saria walking towards them.
"Hey Saria." said Mido
"Hi Mido; hello Link." greeted Saria
"Hey." Link simply said
"So, were you guys talking about your past?" Saria asked
"Oh yeah; such good times, right Link?" Mido asked
"Yeah….the best…" Link said sarcastically.
"Well, I'm glad you got to talk to your old friend again." Saria said with a smile.
"Yeah…" Mido chuckled.
"Ok, let's go Mido." said Saria
"K." as Mido passed Link he ran into his shoulder and pushed him.
'Jerk.' thought Link
