The Bet
Chapter 8: Mido's Revenge
Link, Marin and Roy look through the clear glass pane in the school library door, Roy suddenly let out a gasp
"Oh! There she is" Then Roy saw that Sheik was holding her, "Oh" he added quietly.
From the inside of library, Link saw Sheik, his closest friend other then Mido, say something to Malon and make his way towards where he Marin and Roy were standing. Link guessed Sheik must have made an excuse, because Malon didn't notice they were there.
"Is she ok?" Link asked Sheik, as soon as he closed the library door,
"No, man, she isn't, shes heartbroken, I've...I've never seen her that way before, shes broken, and you have some repairing to do Link!" Sheik told his best friend.
"I love her Sheik..." Link proceeded to tell his best friend about the fight he just had with Mido, and what he just gave up for Malon.
"Man..." Sheik began sympathetically, "Finally, you did it, he's a jackass, finally!" Sheik perked up, causing Marin to giggle.
"What can I do Sheik, what can I do to make it better?" Link asked desperately.
Link heard the library door swing open, and a small voice,
"Oh!"
Link looked up to see Malon, eyes puffy from where she had been crying.
Marin began to try to console her best friend,
"Malon..." She began, pleading with her friend
It didn't mean anything to Malon, in a weird way, she felt betrayed, her friends were supposed to hate Link with her, they were supposed to tell her that she was too good for him anyway, all that bullshit. That's what friends were supposed to do., and now Malon found her friends taking his side, and she couldn't believe it, she looked at Marin. Then at Roy, then she proceeded to walk down the corridor, pretending as if he... Link hadn't been there.
"Malon..." Link called pleadingly, starting to chase her, only to be stopped by Marin.
"No, Link, you've tried, so for now, take my advice, leave it. Just for a bit, let this whole thing cool down, let me and Roy try to get through to her."
"How can I leave it, Marin? I love her" Link asked desperately
"I know" She said comfortingly, putting a hand on his arm. "Just, let me speak to her"
Marin walked off, leaving Roy, Sheik and Link standing there.
"How about we get out of here?" Roy asked (referring to school)
"Yeah, I could kill for a bacon double cheeseburger!" Sheik added
"You know what?" Link said, putting an arm round each of his friends shoulders, "That's the best idea I heard all day!"
Marin managed to track Malon down in the girls toilets, when Marin got there, they were empty, apart from Malon, who Marin could here crying through the toilet door, luckily, Malon had left it unlocked,
"Malon"
"Marin, how could you take his side?" She asked through her tears, "I mean, your supposed to tell me that he was never good enough for me anyway, that's what we always tell each other, and now...And now, your taking his side!" Malon said, angrily.
"Malon I'm not, I'm not taking sides... Look, Link loves you ok, its not my place to say, but he loves you. And you love him, I just have to look at you to see that, and you need to stop being proud, go after him! Tell him, nothings standing in your way!" Marin told her friend
Malon looked at her friend, and saw the seriousness in her face,
"He loves me, he told you"
"Yes!" Marin answered, exasperated.
"I'm gonna find him!" Malon said happily, running out of the toilets, a moment later, she returned, smiling,
"What!" Marin asked,
"Thanks, Marin" Malon hugged her best friend and proceeded to run out and find Link, right now.
After about 10 minutes of searching, she came to the math corridor, towards the end of the corridor, outside the boys bathroom, she saw Mido, holding a bit of tissue to his nose,
"Mido what happened?" Malon asked, deep down she didn't care, as he helped orchestrate the bet, but she was curious, and a downright caring person,
"Oh..." Mido began, he smirked inside, realising Malon didn't know a thing, "Head butted, a door.." he said, off the top of his head. "Oh, clumsly ass!" Malon laughed.
Mido joined in, "Yeah, I really should get my eyes checked or something!"
As Malon walked slightly up the corridor, she turned back to Mido, "Hey!" She caught his attention, "Have you seen Link" She questioned, trying to sound casual,
Mido, smirked, knowing this was his chance to get his revenge on Link, "Yeah, he was kissing Zelda in her car" He answered casually
Malon felt a dagger stab her through the chest,
"Thanks" She said, although she was pretty sure she sounded winded, and made her way towards the tree at the front of the school, where she said she said she would meet Marin.
She had cried so much, too much in the last few days, but she couldn't help it, she stopped and slid down the wall, letting the tears fall freely, she didn't care who saw. She never thought this would happen. She was too late.
Chapter 8 finshed. Things just don't seeem to go right for Malon, do they?
Anyway all that left to say now is please review
