A/N: Sorry it's taken so long! I've been working and all sorts of other stuff. I'm sure I've lost a few readers, but here's hope I still have some left!
Chapter Two – Sarah
"I'm ashamed of you, Link. I never expected to hear that you punched Mike, let alone knocked him out cold."
Link sat in the chair in the office by the gym, wishing that he was invisible. Ms. Raor, one of his three favorite teachers, had found him running for his life. After finding a crowd of kids chasing after him, led by Mike, she took him away so they wouldn't kill him.
He jumped out of his chair, anger quickly rising. "He insulted Sarah! I had to do something!" he cried out in his defense.
"One thing's for sure; he's not going to mess with you for a while. I'm sure Sarah will enjoy the story. Oh, could you give this envelope to her for me?" she asked, handing Link an envelope.
As Link strode up Sarah's driveway, he tripped over a large tree root. A muffled giggle was all he needed. Standing up, he brushed some dirt away and replied, "Glad you thought it was funny."
Sarah walked up to him. "Good, 'cause I did." She laughed again, then stopped and grabbed the bottom of his shirt. "What's this?" she asked, pointing to a small splotch of red.
"What's what?" he asked.
"Link, all your clothes are white. Red stands out pretty well."
"It's nothing," he feebly replied.
"Tell me before I tell everyone your bellybutton started leaking."
Link stared at Sarah for a moment. Her sense of humor was strange, but he thought he was used to it. Bellybutton springing a leak? Where did she come up with this stuff? "Well... I, um," he faltered, and then blurted, "I punched Mike in the nose and knocked him out!"
"How many times have I told you to ignore him?" she asked, a note of worry in her voice. Mike's going to want to get back at him.
"He went too far this time! He insulted you!" he repeated. "What should I have done, just sat there?"
"Don't fight him because he insulted me, Linky," she replied.
"He still shouldn't have insulted you," Link replied, already knowing he was fighting another losing battle.
"I know. Perfect worlds only exist in fairy tales. Now, what did you come here for?" Link solemnly handed Sarah the envelope. She took it then looked back at him. "Good news or bad?"
Link gasped in mock horror. "How dare you accuse me of reading it! I might have a few days ago, but I'm the NEW Link!" he said, giving her a thumbs up.
She opened it and quickly read the piece of paper. "It's from that summer ecology class I've been trying to get ahold of. Says the application was very good."
Link shook his head. "Flip it over."
Sarah laughed and muttered something about the New Link. Finishing the back, she sat down on a bench, her head bent, the letter slowly settling on the ground.
A/N: Pardon Sarah's humor. And Link's. And anyone else's humor that wasn't, well, humorful. Again, sorry for the long wait time. Chapter Three's not going to take as long, I promise!
