Long wait, huh? I figured I do this one next since it's only going to be a total of five chapters long. This is me trying to wrap of all of the unfinished stories I can manage to. Oh, and the part about Link vandalizing Goron High… That's become part of the actual story! Some guys in my school turned around and messed up the school that messed ours up recently. Yay, accuracy!
Warning: This is the shortest chapter in the story at about 800 words. Sorry, but it's more than even the school's essay contest requirement. Heh heh, not that that matters. Well, I did my best to finish this chapter up so I'd have an update for you.
Here it is!
Chapter 4: Not My Issue
"What do you mean you lost?" I questioned suspiciously. In the entire history of the school, never had we once lost the Homecoming game. Figures we'd lose the year Mido joins the foot-deku-nut team. But what do I care? Honestly! It's just a game! It seemed Mido was taking it kinda hard, though…
"We lost, we lost, we lost, we looooooooost!" he sobbed, hitting his head repeatedly one of the lockers. I was, er… perturbed may be the best adjective. Yes. I was perturbed. Greatly, greatly perturbed. I'd never seen Mido cry before. I mean, I dreamed it in my cruelest of fantasies, but I didn't even know Mido had tear glands.
"Well, if you lost, why are you complaining to me?" I inquired, taking a few retreating steps toward my first bell class. Mido saw this and heaved me back by my shirt collar. "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" he blamed. I raised my eyebrow. Boy, I sure was doing that a lot, wasn't I? No wonder I'm so good at it now. Excuse me whilst I raise my eyebrow. … Okay, I'm done.
"How is it my fault?" I asked defensively. I just realized that all I was saying to that guy was questions. I bet it was getting frustrating for him. Good. I make games out of frustrating Mido, the short imp. "You vandalized Goron High!" Mido replied with an accusing finger. I raised my eyebrow… again. If I even un-raised it in the first place. Wait, the word is 'lowered', isn't it? Okay, so if I even lowered it in the first place.
"You told me to!" I snapped. This is why I tried to avoid talking to Mido. While it was all good fun to frustrate him, it frustrated the shuriken-wielding monkeys outta me trying to frustrate him. Or even just talking to him in general! I wondered where Saria was. She was normally around whenever I spoke with Mido. She had a 'Link is talking to Mido' sense or something. And Tingle was her tingle! Ahem. Bad pun. I apologize.
"And just how did vandalizing their school make you lose the game?" I inquired harshly, having fun with emphasis at the same time. Mido opened his mouth to respond, then stared at me in dull contemplation. I could almost hear the little hamster that runs his brain die.
"It just did! And you're gonna pay for it, Fairyless!" he finally replied, storming off. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Saria running towards me.
"Link! Are you all right?" she asked, trying to catch her breath. "My 'Link is talking to Mido' sense was tingling, and I thought you might be in trouble!"
I chuckled inwardly. Another theory proven. Now all I needed was to prove that stagnant water was actually melted chocolate and I'd be SET. However, my current objective was to figure out exactly how Mido planned to make me 'pay', as he put it.
"Nah, I'm fine," I assured, grabbing a textbook from my locker and heading towards my class. Saria frowned, but parted ways to her room. I took a seat at my desk just as the fairy bells chimed, indicating a meeting with the Great Deku Tree. We all filed out of our classes and congregated before the giant deciduous guy.
"Thou hast certainly acquired information regarding the vandalization of our rivals' school. Such bitter news has saddened my ancient heart. If thou hast any information entailing the identity of the vandals, please see me before or after school or before first lunch."
We were then dismissed, everyone glaring at me in a devious manner. What a blessing to be the least-liked guy in school and a criminal. It seemed no one said anything, though, for the day proceeded like any other. When the fairy's chimed at 3:40 PM, I tried to locate Saria in the halls but could find her nowhere. After a good half hour of waiting in front of the school for her to show up, I gave up and went home.
The closer I got to my residential area, the more distinct the smell of hot smoke became. Eventually I was running towards my neighborhood as fast as I could. The trees parted before me as I continued alone, and the sight of fire soon broke forth from the natural barrier. I dropped my books to lose weight and ran more quickly than I thought I was capable of to reach the house.
It was… Saria's! Saria's house was on fire!
I could soon make out the silhouette of my friend as she stood before her blazing home, staring at the ravenous flames in disbelief. "Saria! Are you all right!" I called as I slowed my pace. She turned her head to look at me. There were tears in her eyes.
Damn! I thought. Now it's my issue!
The fire… that's not part of the facts. I put that in there for dramatic effect. Next chapter is the last! Reviews make me update FASTER! They really do! So if you wanna see how Kokiri High gets back at/defeats the Gorons, REVIEW! I'd do it for you! Seriously!
