Hey guys, sorry for not uploading anything for a while. I have exams so I've been trying to balance out studying and gaming, and I ended up neglecting my stories. I apologize. Anyway here's chapter 2 of TGATSG. Enjoy!

The Gamer And The Smart Girl - Chapter 2

The bus came, interrupting my first conversation with Zelda. DAMN YOU BUS! I sighed and trudged over to the bus. I wish I could've talked to her for a little longer. I sat down and looked out of the window, watching clouds go by. I feel so emo right now...

"Are you okay?" I heard Zelda laugh from next to me. I did a double take just to check, but she was in fact sitting next to me, looking me in the eyes with a smile. I'm blushing so hard right now, I hope she doesn't notice... I took a deep breath and collected my thoughts before I replied.

"Yeah, fine. Thanks." Okay, so far so good, I got to keep the conversation going. Just don't say anything weird Link... "So-"

"Did you do your homework? We have math homework due second period." My eyes widened in shock for two reasons.

1.) SHE was starting a conversation with ME.

2.) I didn't do my math homework...

"Math homework? I completely forgot..." I mumbled, worrying about my impending punishment. Zelda shifted and looked like she was searching for something.

"C'mon, I'll help you. We have ten minutes until we arrive." She's so nice! I can't believe I'm sitting next to Zelda and she's helping me with my math homework. It's embarrassing how good she is at math and how bad I am at it, she's pretty much doing all the work for me.

"See? You add this to this to get this." She explained, wow, getting a little close there Zelda. I seriously have no idea what she's talking about so I'm just gonna smile and say yes whenever she asks me something.

"Yep, uh-huh, I totally get what you mean." I lied like a professional liar would lie. Wow that sentence had the word lie in it way too much. "You're good at teaching this. Thanks for helping me out." I said, despite the fact that I didn't learn a thing.

She smiled. "Thanks." I was going to continue our conversation but the bus came to a halt. Why couldn't the school be situated further away? Damn you contractors!

Zelda said goodbye and left the bus. Sigh. And it was going so well too. The first few lessons of the day went by slowly like usual, but it doesn't matter to me because I'm too happy from this morning.

I walked over to my friend's lunch table with an obvious smile on my face. "Hey guys, whats up with you?" I asked sounding way more cheerful than usual. Midna narrowed her eyes at me in suspicion, and Shiek was looking surprised at the fact that I noticed him.

"You're awfully chipper today. What do you want and how much will it cost me?" Midna sighed. For some reason she always thinks I want to borrow money from her when I'm cheerful...I mean, there was that one time...and three other times too...

I laughed and sat down. "That was two years ago and the police said I'm no longer a suspect. Anyway, I don't want to borrow any money, I'm just having the best day ever that's all."

"It involves a girl doesn't it?" Sheik asked with a smirk.

I laughed, "Whoa it's like you're a ninja! And yes, it does. Zelda to be precise." Do I seem smug right now? I'm feeling pretty smug. I explained two my best (and only) friends what happened to me this morning, admittedly I exaggerated a little. Okay a lot. In my re-telling of the events of this morning, I was really cool, and Zelda was all over me.

"That's obviously a lie, why would Zelda want anything to do with you?" Midna smirked. Wow, killjoy much? Way to destroy my dreams Midna! I ignored her remark and turned to Sheik who was looking skeptical.

"Did those things really happen? I can't imagine Zelda calling you a super-manly-sexy-sex-god of sex." Like I said. I exaggerated a little.

I laughed nervously, "Well, maybe she didn't say all of those things, but I could tell she meant it." I have some serious problems, don't I? Compulsive lying disorder, stop making me say things. Changing the subject...

"Hey look, Zelda just came in. If you're so close then why don't you go talk to her?" Midna taunted, seeing through my partly fake story. "Unless, you admit that you made all of that stuff up?" Hmmm...decisions, decisions. I choose potentially making a fool of myself, and manning up for once in my life. Yolo. Also, I'll just make it seem like I'm thanking her for her help this morning. Then she won't be suspicious.

I stood up from the table. "Fine. I'll do it. Watch and learn noobs." Okay, here we go. This completely goes against everything I believe in, and I'd much prefer to just stalk-er, I mean watch Zelda from afar, but I have to do this. I slowly maneuvered myself around the lunch hall making sure Zelda didn't notice me. I was about to walk up to her and say something, until a guy barged past me. RUDE! Oh, and now he's talking to Zelda. Okay Link, back away, back away.

Taking a closer look at the guy with Zelda, I could see that he was tall as a really tall thing, (I don't know many adjectives, it's a secret to everyone) and he face was scary and angry-looking. I'm pretty sure I've heard rumors about this guy. His name is Ganondorf, a bulky tank of anger and power. While I was too busy telling you guys about Ganondorf, he grabbed Zelda's chin and pushed himself onto her face. WHAT. THE. GROOSE. He's kissing her. Zelda. What? Why? Who? Where? When?

Zelda pushed Ganondorf off of her. "Why so cold?" Ganondorf asked, sounding like a total douche. Zelda's face looked like a mixture of fear and anger.

"Leave me alone. I'm not in the mood." Zelda replied fiercely. I have no idea what's going on between these two. Whatever it is, I don't like it. Ganondorf grabbed Zelda's arm forcefully, and pulled her out of her seat.

He looked mad. "Don't use that tone with me. You're acting like a spoilt princess." He growled. Zelda looked scared. No one in the room tried to do anything to stop him. They just watched. I can't stand by and not do anything. I have to be courageous. Ugh...I'm so gonna get my ass kicked. I walked up behind Ganondorf and tapped him on his shoulder. He let go of Zelda, turned around and glared at me. "What do you want?" He demanded with hate in his voice. What did I ever do to him? Apart from this. I threw my fist at his face as hard as I could. OW MY HAND IS DYING. I can't believe I just did that.

The punch only seemed to stun him, so before he could react I grabbed Zelda's hand and ran.

What have I mixed myself up in? I just wish I could go home and pretend none of this happened.

Real life, you suck.

End of chapter 2! So what did you think? I'd love to hear your opinions, I make sure to read every review I get, and I try to take advice given to me as much as I can. I hope you liked it, and I'll see you all in chapter 3. Peace out!
