Greki: Thank you for your review, I hope you will enjoy the rest of the story
Tymaporer: Thanks... I think. It's good to hear from you.
'Link. Link!'
Link slowly began to open his eyes, and turned over in his bed.
'Link it's time you were up!'
Link slowly rolled to the side of his bed and sat on its edge, while he yawned and stretched. He then took off his nightshirt and pulled on a green tunic and some brown shorts as well as his brown leather shoes and walked down the stairs.
'About time you got down here.' Harriet, Link's Grandmother said, greeting Link as he reached the bottom of the stairs. 'Come on, your breakfast is on the table.' Link wearily rubbed his eyes as he made his way to the table, where his grandfather was already eating.
'David,' Harriet said 'I told you to wait until we were all at the table.'
'Sorry,' He said 'but how could I just sit here and let this feast you prepared go to waste?'
She just smiled and rolled her eyes and turned to Link, who had just sat down at the table. 'Eat up, Link you've got school today.'
Upon hearing the word, school, his once bleary eyes became clear and he went through the same routine that many do on their first day of school.
'I don't want go to school.' said Link. 'Why do I have to go to school anyway?'
'You have to go to school, Link.' Harriet said flatly.
'But, why?' Link whined.
'You need to learn, Link.' David said flatly 'You need to learn how to read and write and know at least basic maths.
'I…do know… how to read.' He said in between bites.
'But you know you can do better don't you, dear.' Harriet said.
Link just looked down and murmured.
'You went to school where you came from didn't you?' David asked.
'Yes.' Link replied sharply.
'Well, why are you worrying, then? You'll meet the friends you had back there at this school.'
'I guess.' He said despondently. While thinking, I did have friends at my old school, but I also had some enemies who I gladly miss; as he finished off the remainder of his breakfast.
'You ready to go?' David said as he stood up from the table and walked towards the door.
'Huh?' Link said as Harriet took his plate away, which broke him out of his thoughts.
'It's time to go.' David said with enthusiasm. 'You can't be late for your first day.'
'Already? I just got up!' He said getting off his chair reluctantly.
'You should have got up earlier.' He said, causing Link once again mutter to himself. He thought about asking him to speak up, but the chances are he didn't want to hear what was saying.
As Link slowly walked towards him, he opened the door. As he did the cool, brisk, air flowed in, clearing out the stale air trapped in the house and causing their clothes sway gently in the breeze.
Link walked in front of him and stood in the doorway. He turned round and said 'Come on, Gramps.'
'Do you have to call me that? It makes me feel old.' David said.
'You're not getting any younger!' the almost instant response came from the kitchen, where Harriet was cleaning the plates from breakfast.
A small grin appeared on Link's face; David also cracked a smile and said 'We'll be back before you know it.'
'See you later. Be careful both of you.'
'Bye!' David and Link said as they walked out in the street. Making sure that the door was closed behind them.
The street was quiet and cold, not yet warmed up by the sun as it rose above the mountains that surrounded the town. There was little sign of life as they walked through the town.
They saw the odd person on their way to work. He was odd because he was blue emotionally and in skin colour. He was always going on about how everyone hates him. People largely ignore him, which also makes him feel depressed.
They also saw some people opening up shops and stall holders setting up their wares for sale. They also saw some people walking on their way to work. Most people lived close to their work. Some lived above their shops, others lived right next door. For others it was unsafe or impractical. For David, having his workshop along with its fiery furnace in the same house didn't appeal to him for some reason.
Link spotted a white building set apart from the others. It had only one floor a red tile roof and under each of the windows were small window boxes with various small flowers growing in them. As they walked closer to the building Link saw rows of desks and chairs and he realised where he was…this was his new school.
