Chapter Four: One of Those Mornings…

Link sat there staring at a blank sheet of paper. He was in no mood to start his French essay on food.

"Helloooo? Link?" Roy waved a hand if front of Link's face.

"Hm?"

"Link, you're not still sore about screwing up at yesterday's audition, are you?"

"And if I am still 'sore'?"

Roy sighed. "Was it really that big of a deal?"

"Forget it." Link grumbled.

"What?"

"Just shut up!"

"Oh, okay…" Roy was silent, and reverted his attention to his essay. The he spoke up again. "Y'know, there's always volleyball."

"What?"

"Oh yeah, I didn't tell you. They rescheduled the tryouts. You should try out."

"Why?" Link asked huffily.

"I dunno, you never get out and do things! You're always so concerned about school and homework, y'know?"

"Well, unlike a super-genius like you, I have to work hard to pass. I don't have time for stupid volleyball."

"But you have time for the play?"

"That's… that's different."

"Whatever. Just consider it, it's really fun.

"Whatever."

"…when the combining capacity of a polyatomic…"

Zelda caught little bits here and there of the science lesson, but she really couldn't care less about… whatever the teacher was rambling on about. She heard a great "HARRUMPH" behind her, and knew Marth was staring lasers through the back of her head, still sulky about the auditions.

"Marth's acting a bit odd don't you think?" Samus asked innocently.

"Sure."

"Zelda?"

"Hm?"

"You've been acting pretty strange lately too."

"Oh, I'm just not getting enough sleep."

"Zelda." The teacher was looking at Zelda again. "Do you know the answer?"

"Oh… well I, uh…" To Zelda's dismay, there was no 'Psst, Zelda' from Marth this time, so she was on her own. "I'm sorry sir, I wasn't paying attention.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Zelda, I'm very disappointed. I always thought you had a lot of potential, but your marks are very low, and you don't put any effort to pay attention in class."

Zelda's face was growing hot with embarrassment.

"Zelda, I'd like you to come to my after school science tutorial."

"WHAT?" Zelda blurted out. "THAT'S SO UNFAIR! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE CAUGHT ME NOT PAYING ATTENTION. I ALWAYS PARTICIPATE IN CLASS AND I ALWAYS TRY TO GET GOOD MARKS! AND I--"

"ZELDA!" The teacher barked, "Please calm down. I request that you come to tutorials today after school."

"But--"

"Then after that, you can serve detention for disrupting the class. Please sit down."

Zelda bit back another angry protest and sat down. She gave a great sigh, and did her best to ignore the questioning looks she got from her fellow classmates.

"Heh heh," Zelda head someone chuckle behind her. She turned around to face Marth.

"Get a life, asshole."

"Shh Zelda! Pay attention, or you'll get another detention." Marth said with a wide grin.

Zelda was internally erupting with anger. She turned around and sulked in her seat, looking very upset.

It was turning out to be a bad morning for both Zelda and Link, as both of them spent their morning class sulking at their desks, getting absolutely no work done. Zelda was glad to finally get out of the class when the bell rang. She got up from her seat, picked up her books, and hastily left the science room.

"Don't forget your detention Zelda!" The teacher called.

Why don't you go jump off a cliff? Zelda thought to herself. She stormed down the hallway to her locker, running into Peach Toadstool on the way.

"Hey! Watch it!" Peach cried.

Zelda didn't reply, and merely continued stomping down the hall. She never liked Peach anyway. Little skank. She got to her locker and yanked the lock off. She threw the door open and unceremoniously dumped her books into it. She slammed the door with all her might and made her way to the drama room.

short, yes, so very sorry.
