Hey y'all! I'm here with another update for ya! I have to say, I never expected to get such a positive reaction to this story! It's really cool.
DoctorZelda: I know right?! I am so excited to write these next few chapters.
Zeltra: Yay! You noticed my reference! And who doesn't like Don't Worry, Be Happy? It's just an impossible song to hate.
Also, a huge thank you to everybody who has reviewed, followed, and favorited my story. It really does mean a lot to me.
Link led us through away from our lunch spot, and takes us behind the music building, where the three of us could talk alone.
"Alright, what is it?" I questioned, folding my arms over her chest.
"Mal, I am so sorry!" He burst out. "I can't believe that I-" He broke off as Malon interrupted him.
"Link, I knew for a while that the relationship was going sour." She explained. "I could tell that you wanted to break up with me."
"You could?" Link exclaimed incredulously.
"Of course I could, Link. I'm not completely stupid! What I don't understand is why you didn't break up with me before you made a move on Zelda."
"It just happened. I don't know how to explain it." He sighed. "Mal, you have to know that I am really sorry. Can you find it to your heart to forgive me?" I glanced at Malon, then over at Link. His clear blue eyes sparkled with sadness, and I could see that he was truly guilty. Apparently, Malon saw this too, because she said:
"Yeah, Link. I can forgive you. I could tell you weren't happy with the relationship. But if you're ever in this situation again, at least have the balls to break up with you're girlfriend first." Link breathed a huge sigh of relief, and pulled Malon into a hug.
"Of course. I will never, ever make that mistake again." He informed her. They broke the hug, and Link turned to me. "What about you? Will you forgive me?"
I took a deep breath, and looked from Malon, to Link, and back to Malon again. If Malon forgave him, then should I? Looking into his deep blue eyes, I could see that all he wanted was for me to accept his apology.
"Yes." I said, with a soft smile. "I can forgive you." He grinned widely and gave me the same treatment that he gave Malon: a huge bear hug. The bell rang, and we broke apart.
"Well, I have Spanish in the main hall." Malon informed me. "You're in DeSoto for English, right?"
"Yeah. I'll see ya later, Mal." she waved goodbye and walked off.
"English in DeSoto hall, huh?" Link asked absentmindedly.
"Yeah." I said. Suddenly he scooped me up bridal style and began to walk towards DeSoto hall. I let out a small squeal of surprise. "Link, what are you doing?" I exclaimed, beating on his chest in resistance. "Put me down!"
"No." He simply refused. I folded my arms and pouted, though I couldn't hide the smile on my face. He laughed at my attempt. Finally I gave in, and leaned into his chest. He walked into DeSoto hall, and set me down in the doorway. "I believe that this is your stop, milady." He said in a British accent. Apparently, British was a reoccurring theme today.
"Thank you, my good sir." I replied in the same accent. He bowed and left, leaving me with a blush on my face and a delirious happiness spinning inside of me. My head was spinning as I walked the rest of the way to my English class. I walked into the class, grinning like an idiot. Midna, who sat behind me, gave me a weird look as I took my seat.
"What's up with you? You look like you are tripping on purple potion right now." She murmured.
I shook myself, trying to break out of my happy trance.
"Sorry, it's just that Link carried me here." I whispered to her happily. Her eyes widened in shock.
"He carried you!? Like, bridal style?"
"Yeah." I nodded frantically. "We were just standing behind the music building, we went there because he wanted to apologize to Mal and I, and when Mal left for Spanish, he just picked me up and carried me here!"
"Holy Goddesses!" She exclaimed, far to loud. The whole class looked at us, then everybody, including us, burst into laughter. When it had died down, our English teacher, Mr. Raru Light, began teaching the class. He was showing us how Shakespeare used words with dual meanings to entertain the high and the low class citizens. It was interesting, and usually I loved listening to Mr. Light's lessons, but today I was to distracted to even fathom listening to the lecture.
The bell rang, and I walked to my next, and last, class of the day: Trig. I stepped into class, and took my seat next to Link. He was turned around, talking to some of his more popular friends. He didn't even notice me when I sat down. I knew that it was stupid to have expected any different, but I couldn't help but feel a little sad when he didn't speak to me.
Our lesson began, and I sat there taking notes, trying to swallow my disappointment. Class ended, and I made my way to my locker to meat up with Midna. We had rehearsal for Hello Dolly today.
"Ready to go?" I asked as I walked up to our locker.
"Yup." She answered. We proceeded to wake over to the auditorium. Mr. Tingle was there, and so were the other cast members. Mr. Tingle called us together, and began to give us the "you made a commitment, now uphold it" speech.
Afterward, we began to run through one of our big songs that everybody was in. We learned our general placement on the stage, and even some of our harmonies. I took the the main melody, as I was the lead character, and the others sang in a choral fashion behind me.
At six o' clock, Mr. Tingle dismissed us. Midna and I got into her car.
"Wanna go get a smoothie?" She asked.
"Sure." I agreed. It doesn't seem like it would be, but the rehearsals were quite tiring, and we were pretty wiped out. So, we got our smoothies, and we went straight home. "Sheik, I'm home!" I yelled in his room's direction.
"Kay." He called back.
"It Tetra here?" I asked.
"Yeah." I heard her voice come from her room.
"Have you guys eaten?" Came my last question.
"Yeah, we got takeout about an hour ago." Sheik told me.
"Cool." I finalized. I ran up to my room, put in my earbuds, and started my Trig homework.
(The next day)
I was jolted awake by the sound of Sheik banging on my door.
"Zelda, wake up, you're gonna be late." He yelled through the door. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and looked at the clock. It was 7:30.
"Shit." I hurried out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I took a three minute shower, and quickly got dressed in short jean shorts, a blue, flowery, lace top, and white sandals. I was packing up, when my phone went off. "Hello." I greeted.]
"Zelda, where are you?" I heard Midna's irritated voice through the phone. "I've been waiting outside your house for, like, ten minutes!"
"Sorry, Midna. I fell asleep doing my homework and I woke up late. "Just leave without me. I'll find another way to get to school."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I don't wanna make you late."
"Okay." Midna sighed. "See you at school."
"Bye." After I hung up, I quickly dried my hair, picked up my backpack, and flew out the door. "Oh, Goddesses, I hope I make it to the bus in time." I muttered, as I ran to the nearest bus stop. It was the only mode of transportation I had left, as Sheik had left a few minutes prior to take Tetra to school.
I was about halfway to the bus stop, when a car pulled up beside me. I took a sideways glance at the car, and stopped dead when I saw who the driver was.
"Hey pretty lady, want a ride?" Link asked with a wide smile on his face. I laughed gratefully,and climbed inside his car.
"Thanks." I panted.
"No problem." he smiled. "Running late, I assume."
"Yeah." I laughed. "I was trying to get to the bus."
(Because your kiss) Your kiss
Is on my list
(Because your kiss) Your kiss
I can't resist
Because your kiss is on my list
One of the best things in life
My ringtone chimed. Link raised an eyebrow as I answered.
"Hello?"
"Zelda, where are you?" Midna asked through the phone.
"I'm coming. Just tell Ms. Impa that I'm running late."
"Okay, just get here soon."
"I will." I assured her. We got to school five minutes. "Thanks, Link."
"Anytime." He gave me a his trademark crooked smile. I returned it and ran off to the music building.
I raced into the choir room, and took my seat in the second soprano section.
