It was 7.10am
Walking down the hallway Zelda and Marin continued to bitch about Link –well Zelda did– stopping to say hi to their friends on the way to English. Zelda continued to rant and rave until she had to take a breath and then they entered their classroom. Taking their seats they saw that Link was already there: the first time in about seven years he had gotten to class before Marin and Zelda.
Marin took her seat quietly giving Link a slight smile which was returned before Zelda narrowed her eyes at the two of them and then they both sunk down in their seats. Zelda sat down pointedly ignoring Link after his and Marin's exchange and turned to face the teacher.
"Sorry about that!" Marin whispered to Link who was behind her, "She'll cool off soon."
"I hope so" Link replied dreading what would happen to his beautiful car should Zelda decide to sue him.
Marin turned to face the front and quickly looked away as Zelda turned to give her a reprise look but just in time Mr. Gaepora ran in looking slightly flushed. Mr Gaepora was about the oldest teacher in existence. Rumour had it that the current generations' grandparents were taught English by him. Of course, no one had thought to ask their grandparents so no one actually knew. Any how, Mr Gaepora wandered over to his desk and opened his massive diary to see what torture he would inflict on the class today.
"Today class…" He croaked walking to the blackboard and picking up a piece of chalk, "We are going to be looking at the T R I F O R C E C H R O N I C L E S by S O R A R U T E L A which we will later evaluate in a 2000 word essay focusing mainly on any one theme from the book of your choice." He wrote on the board.
There was a murmur of annoyance throughout the class. Marin rolled her eyes at Zelda who sighed sourly. This was going to be a long read. The Triforce Chronicles were approximately 2135 pages long and though it was all based on historical fact it was used as an English topic because Sora Rutela was a Zora writer who was deemed as the Mistress of Hylian Literature. So the teachers kept saying anyway.
Zelda quickly scribbled a note to Marin though there was little need for it; Mr Gaepora being both almost completely deaf and so near sighted his glasses could be used by someone with perfect vision as a high powered magnifying glass.
I can't believe we're doing this!
I know! It'll take til Christmas to read the book!!
Um…maybe for you it will but some of us aren't
still stuck on the third page of Spot Goes to The
Shops :P

Whatever!!
What are you doing tonight then?
I'm going to the party at Karkariko tonight; it's going to be wicked!
Oh ok
You are going aren't you?!?
I wasn't going to
But Vaati will be there!
Well maybe I could possi-
"What's this I see?" Ganon Dragmire has snatched the note from Zelda and had began to read it when Fado snatched it out of his hands for himself.
Link simply rolled his eyes then took it from Fado and when Zelda reached for it just handed it over. There was a ghost of a smile on Zelda's face but when she caught Link's eye she just mumbled a quick thanks and turned to the front. Link smiled to himself, 'maybe there's some hope for me yet…'
It was 12 noon
Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg
Everyone jumped out of their seats and rushed for the door. No one wanted to be last to the canteen or they'd have to wait around for half an hour before they even got in.
"Right, off you go class!" Miss Laruto announced as if everyone wasn't already on their way out.
Marin and Zelda slung their book bags over their shoulders and headed out.
"Well if that wasn't the most pointless class ever!" Marin gasped as soon as Miss Laruto was out of earshot
"Oh shush! Ancient Hylian is an amazing class!!"
"Yeeeeeeeeah, amazingly crap! Seriously, how can Miss L even pretend to like it! She must only be about 20!"
"Some people are interested in intelligent subjects!"
"And some people have lives! Now for just a moment Zelda, pretend that you're one of those people!"
Zelda hit her friend over the head with her bag and then ran towards the canteen laughing.
"My hair!!!!!!! Zelda!!!!! Wait up!!!" Marin ran after her and scooped up a tray on the way to the line.
Zelda turned around and giggled before they both realised something. The canteen was practically empty. Marin placed down her tray next to Zeldas and caught Saria on her way out.
"Hey Saria!"
Saria smiled but looked hurried "Hey! What are you guys doing in here?"
"Huh? I was just about to ask you where everyone else is!" Marin replied puzzled
Saria laughed "What? Haven't you heard? Fado has a Hylian Puma!!!"
A look of dawning came over Marins face whereas Zelda just rolled her eyes.
"OH! So that's what all the fuss was about this morning then?"
Zelda and Saria both stared at her. "Marin, everyone heard. What were you doing?
It was 6.04pm
Zelda fell back against her bed onto two of her softest pillows and knew she was in heaven. She was so warm and comfortable and before she knew what was happening; was lying next to a man, kissing him and stroking his cheek. The two of them rolled over and fell onto the floor laughing and when they broke apart she saw it was-
"Link!?" Zelda yelled as she woke violently from her sleep. She had been lying on the sofa right after school and must've dozed off.
"No sorry to disappoint, just me" Marin grinned cheekily carrying two Cucco™ glasses full of water through from the kitchen.
Zelda blushed and nodded thanks to Marin for the water. "How long have I been asleep for?"
Marin laughed "Oh, only about two hours!"
Zelda apologized "When's the party?"
"It's at nine and it's six now" Marin replied, sitting down beside Zelda.
"Oh that's fine then." Zelda sighed relieved.
"Soooooooooooooooooooooo…"
Zelda looked at her friend questioningly.
"What….or who, was your dream about then?"
It was 9.08pm
Zelda had selected a loose purple number for the party. She had laboured over her shoes and decided that if she took her silver clutch bag she could get away with her silver stilettos. Marin on the other hand chose a figure hugging black dress with matching shoes.
When the pair walked in they fluttered their long eyelashes at almost every male in the room and simultaneously flashed identical smiles. This made them appear confident but Zelda felt anything but. Marin kept telling her that the ultimate goal was to have all eyes on you and to dazzle everybody in the room. Zelda only wanted approval from one man and that was Vaati. Although he was part of Link's little gang he was level headed and chivalrous and an altogether nice guy.
So why does he hang around with Link and the rest of those dickweeds?
Zelda took a seat at the bar and ordered drinks for herself and Marin. She saw her friend glancing around the room for some talent and looked pretty subdued when she returned to face Zelda.
"There's no one here worth my time and effort" Marin pouted whilst Zelda looked amused "I can't even see lover boy!"
"Who, Link?"
Marin grinned "Well actually I meant Vaati but, whomever!"
Zelda blushed furiously "I like Vaati not Link! That dream was just a dream, it didn't mean anything!"
"Hey, I'm not judging"
Zelda had no time to reply because at that moment Link and his gang – including Vaati – had arrived and were making their way towards the bar. They were kitted out in shirts and jeans looking absolutely stunning, even Zelda had to admit. Sheik was throwing smiles to every female in the room in a similar fashion to what Zelda and Marin had looking cocky and arrogant though at the same time handsome. Fado was looking as if he rather be driving his new car than hanging around in a club and beside him Link was brushing some of his long blonde hair behind his ear to show off his gold earring. Vaati was looking quietly confident and as he caught Zelda's eye he smiled warmly made her insides melt.
Marin perked up "Now here's some talent!"
Link must have heard Marin because he seemed to gravitate towards the pair – half because of Marin and half because of the fear of impending lawsuit; or so Zelda thought. She laughed quietly to herself at the thought or Link squirming with fear. She looked up at him with a now faint smile and saw in his eyes that he was slightly reserved.
Well that's a first!
"Hey…how are you two?" He asked, surprisingly sincerely.
Zelda tried not to look too enthused with a reply of "Fine" whereas her friend launched into a full blown conversation. Zelda tried not to inwardly vomit.
She instead voted to speak to Vaati who was quietly conversing with Sheik and Fado and at least posed some sort of intelligible conversation opportunity.
"Hey…" She began shyly, brushing a stray hair back behind her ear.
"Hi, how are you this evening?" Vaati asked as warmly as his smile that Zelda currently had on repeat playing over in her head.
Zelda felt her cheeks filling with colour "I'm great thanks! Um, so what did you do over the summer?"
Vaati sat down when a girl left her seat and Zelda became very aware of the lack of space between the two. He placed an arm on the bar and signalled the bartender for two drinks.
"What do you want?" He asked
"I'll have a Coke, Zelda?"
"Oh! Um, I'll have a sprite please" She replied ignoring the fact she already had a drink that hadn't been touched.
They started talking but Zelda didn't even realise she was moving her mouth as she was mainly watching Vaati's mouth. She occasionally caught Link looking over at the two but didn't think anything of it. Marin disappeared for a while; as did Link, but when Marin returned she grabbed Zelda's wrist looking none too happy and pulled her away from Vaati. Zelda gave Vaati an apologetic look and grabbed her wrist from Marin and followed her out. When the cool air hit them Zelda felt her temper sharpening.
"What the hell was that about?!" Zelda fumed
"Link…"
