Chapter 10
I twisted and turned. I felt something rising up and down below me; I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was lying on top of Link. My face flushed red as I tried to get up, but I couldn't because Link's arm was wrapped around me tightly as if I was a pillow. I tried to wriggle my way out, I succeeded and stood up. Luckily Link didn't wake up from my movements. Sheik was lying on my bed with a blanket covering his face. There was no sign of sunlight but everything was pure white.
I looked outside the window to discover that the whole school was covered in snow. A loud knocking came from the front door, I walked over trying not to step on Link as I opened the door. Midna stood with a large coat wrapped around her. She stepped in and removed her coat.
"It's freezing outside!" Midna looked around and saw Sheik and Link; she raised an eyebrow at me.
"It's not what it looks like! It's a long story."
Midna chuckled. "Well whatever, I just came here to see if you're alright. Did you know that the front doors of the girl and boy dorms are jammed with snow?"
"Wow! Is it really that bad?"
Another knock came from the door. Midna took a seat on the vacant bed and started to fiddle with her phone. I opened the door to reveal Saria standing outside wearing a beanie and a sweater.
"Come in Saria." Saria stepped inside and looked at Midna and the boys. She raised an eyebrow just like Midna did. "Saria... It's not what you think!" I repeat.
"What do you think I was thinking?" Saria teased.
"Uhh... Err..."
"I wasn't expecting you to answer that!" Saria giggled.
"Right... Anyways, what brings you here?"
"I got a message from Miss Ashei; it will take a while to get the snow out of the way so schools cancelled for today."
Link slowly started to sit up, his eyes half opened. He stretched and yawned, his messy blonde hair covering his eyes. I had to admit he looked pretty cute in that position.
"What time is it now...?" Link murmured.
"Wake up sleepy head!" Midna stood up and whacked Link playfully on the head.
"Oww…" was all Link could say.
"I better get dressed." I say as I walk toward Sheik and start shaking him back and forth "Sheik wake up!" Sheik turns around to face everyone with his eyes still shut. A yawn escaped his mouth as he kept turning until he fell on the floor. Everyone in the room burst into giggles.
"Whoa" Sheik sat up and rubbed his eyes, his eyes soon met Midna's. Midna was still giggling and Sheik's face soon turned red from embarrassment.
"Sheik, there's no school today unfortunately."
"Oh... Well that gives me one more day to get ready I guess"
"I need to get dressed now. Do all of you mind going back to your rooms for now?"
Saria and Midna both walked outside.
"Alright, we'll see you guys soon" Saria called.
Link got up and also walked out. "I'll see you later Zel". I ignored the nickname he gave me. The room cleared leaving me and Sheik alone.
"That also includes you Sheik". Sheik got up and stomped his way towards to door. That now left me alone in the room. I picked up the blankets from the floor and neatly folded them and piled them up on the spare bed. I picked up the mugs and placed them on the sink and put away the candle that was still in the centre of the room. I decided to go for a hot shower since it was still freezing; hopefully the power is back on now. I flicked the bathroom light switch and the room lit up. I stepped inside the shower and turned the shower on to its highest.
20 minutes later I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me, I paused to take a. Good look at myself. The bruise was slowly fading away which was a good sign, on my forehead I could see a tiny scar, which was from my past schools. I'd rather not talk about it. I brushed my blonde hair with my fingers before getting out my hair dryer to dry my hair. Soon after that I put on a pair of jeans and 3 layers of clothing, a singlet underneath a long sleeve shirt and a jacket over that. I wrapped my blue scarf around me and put a light blue beanie to go along with my scarf. I put my boots on and made my way out the door to catch up on what was going on.
The temperature outside was nothing compared to my room which I considered cold. I found it hard to believe how the weather can change in one night as if the Goddesses did it for a reason. But what might that reason be? I didn't know much about the weather here, Kakariko was always hot mainly because it was close to Death Mountain where all the Gorons lived. I headed towards Saria's room, now that I think about it; I've never met Saria's roommate. Midna's always hanging around with Saria but where could her roommate be? I gently knocked on Saria's door. The door slid open to reveal Orielle.
"Hey Zelda! What's up?"
Could Orielle be Saria's roommate? I was very surprised, I never thought about Orielle. "Is this your room as well as Saria's?"
"Yep!" Orielle said as she popped the 'P'.
"How come I never see you around? I'm always hanging around here and I have never seen you once!"
Orielle rubbed the back of her head "I have a lot of activities, as well as our band of course."
"Oh I see..."
Saria came from the back door and spotted me instantly. "Hey Zelda! Come in!"
I stepped into the room; this temperature instantly went from cold to warm. "So I guess we're stuck in here until the people come and remove the snow?"
"That's right" Saria said as she was looking through her phone.
"Guys, I'm going to meet up with my friends now, see you guys later!" Orielle picked up her back as she waved at us and left the room; I gave Orielle a smile and waved back at her.
"So what's the plan?" before Saria could answer, I heard loud footsteps coming from the hallway to reveal Link and Sheik. The two were still wearing the same clothes from last night and the same messy hair. "What are you guys doing here? You're supposed to be back in your rooms!"
Sheik rubbed the back of his head "The door to the boy's dorm is jammed with snow!" Saria gasped as she covered her mouth with her hands.
"You know you're going to be in huge trouble if the teachers find out you're in the girls dorm, and it would be even worse if they found out that you've slept in a girls room!"
Link and Sheik both looked at each other as if they could communicate each other with their minds.
"Wow Saria, calm down. We'll find a way" Link said calmly.
"I just don't want you two to get in trouble" Saria sighed. "I'm starving. We can't go out and I don't have any food with me…"
"We could go to my room. Pipit usually stores a whole bunch of food in the fridge, he's quite the snacker." Link offered.
"But... We don't have access to the boy's dorm remember?" I added
"Damn..."
We stayed in the same position in silence, thinking where we could get something to eat.
Saria broke the silence. "Let's go to Midna's room"
We all agreed and Sheik looked rather excited, I raised an eyebrow.
*Knock knock knock*
Midna slowly opened the door to see Sheik grinning at Midna "Hello there Midna"
"Oh Sheik… What are you doing here?"
"You know... I just thought we'd have some... time together"
"Ahem!" a voice came from the back; Sheik looked behind him and just noticed that we were behind him the whole time.
"Ahh… I mean as well as Saria, Link and Zel."
"Right... Sure come on in guys" Midna opened the door to its widest. We all Walked inside one by one. We sat on the two beds, Sheik sitting next to Midna on her bed and me, Saria and Link sitting on the bed opposite Midna's.
"So what brings you all here?" Midna asked.
"I know this is sort of rude... But we're hungry!"
Midna let out a laugh "Why didn't you say so? I have some food in the fridge."
We all made sandwiches and ate while we chatted at the same time. Midna said that Karane and Pipit were playing video games last night and ended up staying there. After we all finished eating, we decided to take a walk around the building. Saria wandered of somewhere while Sheik and Midna took off somewhere else which left me and Link alone. During our silent walk, we surprisingly bumped into Ruto.
"Link!" Ruto ignored her surroundings and ran to Link and gave him a giant bear hug.
"Hey… Ruto..."
"Link! It's so cold here and you're so warm" Ruto pushed her face deeper into Link's chest.
I stood there in the far corner watching the two. I suddenly felt an odd feeling, this couldn't be jealousy… Or is it? My hand naturally balled into fists, Ruto has always liked Link so that she would do anything to get closer to him. But why am I feeling this way? I have no feelings for Link… Or do I? Link noticed my sudden mood change.
"Uhh Ruto, it's nice seeing you but could you please let me go? I'm kind of getting squashed" Ruto let go and her face turned red from embarrassment.
She let out a small laugh "Right... sorry"
"We should go and find the others right Zel?" Link walked over to me and put an arm around my shoulders; I was taken back from his actions then realized what he was trying to do.
"Ah... Right…" Behind me I could see Ruto's face suddenly turning confused and mad at the same time, she silently walked away I could faintly hear some sniffling.
I and Link continued to walk, his arm still around my shoulder.
"What's up with you and Ruto?" I asked curiously.
Link scoffed "Ugh, not trying to be mean but Ruto has had a crush on me ever since we were in elementary! She's driving me crazy."
"You know she has a crush on you?"
"I think it's pretty obvious that she does"
"True..." I stated "Uhh... Link?"
Link looked down at me "Yeah?"
"You still have an arm around me…"
Link chuckled "Right" he lifted his arm off my shoulder and walked to the entrance of the girls dorm to see Saria standing there gazing out the window.
"Saria!" I called.
"Link! Zelda! The people have come to remove the snow!"
"Finally, we can get out of here" I exclaimed.
"Yep, I wonder where Sheik and Midna have gone off to" Saria added.
Link raised an eyebrow "Who knows?"
I know this chapter is a bit short but don't worry, chapter 11 is going to come in a few days I promise! While you're waiting, please review!
