Hey guys, sorry for not updating in FOREVER, but I hope I can make it up to you all with a new chapter. I. Hope. You. All. Enjoy!
The Gamer And The Smart Girl - Chapter 3
We ran until we couldn't hear Ganondorf chasing us anymore, and stopped, out of breath. Link, note to self - work out. I mean, you ran for around thirty seconds, and I feel like I'm gonna die. Even Zelda isn't as tired as you. Wait. Yep. That confirms it. I'm talking to myself again. Or rather...inner mono-logging? At least if I put it that way it doesn't make me sound as crazy...
After I regained my composure, and went back to being my sexy, charming self (I'm in denial, I know, but let me have this this one time. C'mon. Dude seriously. Who am I even talking to...?) and turned to Zelda. I'm not sure what words to say. Come on. Just say words. Anything. It's been thirty seconds, and you've just stood there looking at her. She looks uncomfortable. Say something. It doesn't even matter what at this point.
"So...you're dating Ganondorf...?" I asked, attempting to sound nonchalant. I'm so smooth I'm like a smooth thing but smoother. Yeah. That's right. Smooth. Zelda looked up at me, with a look that made it seem like she did something bad that she shouldn't have. Ha, that reminds me, this one time, for a joke, I 'borrowed' Midna's car keys, and hid them for three hours. Haha she tried to kill me that day. But jokes on her, the doctors said I got away with minor injuries. He even gave me a lollipop. Win-win situation much?
Wait, that's off topic. Anyway, she let out a heavy sigh. "Yeah. I guess I am." She replied, her voice sounding sad. Is that even a thing? Can voices be sad? Or did i just make that up? Hmmmmmm... Wait. What? She's dating Ganondorf? In all those weeks I stalk- I mean observed her (Nice save) I never saw her with him. Zelda started to shake. I looked up at her face, and saw that she was crying. A beautiful girl, who I don't really know, but am completely in love with, is crying. What do I do? No seriously guys. Halp. I know you're there dun lie. I saw you.
"Hey...are you okay?" I asked her, already knowing that the answer was no. If Ganondorf makes her like this then why is she even with him? I mean, I wouldn't want to be with someone who would forcefully kiss me and make me cry. Okay maybe I would, but don't all guys like the dominatrix type. No? Just me? Aww...
Zelda shot a glare at me. "What do you think?" She growled. Woah. Someone had an extra helping of bitchy-flakes this morning. Though, to be fair, it's not her fault she's like this. She sat down at a nearby bench, trying to calm down and regain composure. I sat down next to her and awkwardly put my hand on her shoulder reassuringly. Wow this feels awkward. After she calmed down she turned to me and smiled, which I returned.
"Now you've calmed down, why are you dating Ganondorf?" I asked. I hope she gives me a short answer and not a huge back-story that I really don't care about. She took a moment to think. Oh no, she's thinking! That means there's gonna be a huge back-story! If I were you, you may want to skip the next paragraph because I think it's coming...
"I started going out with Ganondorf back in-" Oh gods, here she goes. "-high school. He asked me out, and I wasn't sure what to say, but he took that as a yes and has been trying to control me like a puppet ever since. He even followed me here to this university. I hate him. Why can't he just leave me alone?" Wow. Deep. I...I feel really bad for her. Happy, that she doesn't like Ganondorf, that means I might have a chance, but angry at the way Ganondorf is treating her.
What should I do? Act like nothing happened, give up on Zelda and try to enjoy a normal life playing online games with my friends? Or intervene and potentially get killed all for a girl I barely even know. I mean, I'm being realistic here. I do love her, but I don't even really know her. So, can you even be in love with someone without knowing them? Maybe I'll do things step by step then. Concentrate on being Zelda's friend, and then level up to become her boyfriend. Gotta watch out for that friend-zone though. Hmm... this might be more difficult than I thought.
I can't just leave things as they are, and let Ganondorf do what he wants to Zelda, that would be cowardly - the complete opposite to what I try to be online. Maybe I can be courageous like I am on the internet, or maybe I'm just delusional. I don't know anymore, the line between the two is too blurred, but I'm gonna go for it(?).
I took a deep breath. "...you should break up with him." I muttered. Zelda turned to me and gave me a look that said 'if only it were that easy'. I swallowed the lump in my throat. "...I'll go with you." I said, looking at Zelda, determined.
She looked a little scared. I smiled at her, and she smiled back - albeit weekly. I've only just met her earlier on today, and I'm already getting involved in her love life. Too bad it's not in the way I want to be. We returned over to the lunch hall. I hope she doesn't notice me shaking, because I am really scared right now. No, be confident. Be courageous, even if it's for a minute, at least look like you're confident, for Zelda.
We walked in and saw a very angry Ganondorf. He was staring daggers at me, and looked like he wanted to kill me. Probably could too. I bet he works out, his arms are huge. And frightening... He got up, and walked over to us. He's gonna kill me. Yep, here's where I die. There'll be a tombstone right her that reads: 'Here lies Link. He died at total virgin.' That's the worst way to die...
Zelda glanced over at me, clearly scared. If I'm gonna die, I might as well do this...I reached for Zelda's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She smiled. Ganondorf did not.
"So, you punch me, and then try to steal me girl away from me? It's like you're asking for me to kill you." He snarled. Somehow, I think he meant the killing part.
I looked up at him, glaring, gritting my teeth. "Don't talk about her like she's your possession." I snarled back. He seemed shocked that someone smaller, and weaker than him, is talking back to him.
He leaned in close. "What's your name." He asked, spite in his voice. I didn't back down.
"Link Faron." I replied. Funny, it's like I'm literally sighning my death certificate with my name. Except instead of writing it, I'm - Ohhhhh, he hit me in the stomach. Wow, he cut me off when I'm mono-logging. What a dick.
I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breath. That guy doesn't pull any punches, literally. Zelda gasped, and then turned to Ganondorf. Angry. She seemed like a completely different person from the crying girl I was talking to a few minutes ago. She pointed her finger at his face, which made him back up a little, surprised.
"Listen Ganondorf. I've had enough of you controlling my life. It's over." Zelda looked relieved when she finally said it, as if she had been to afraid to say anything before. Ganondorf stood in silence for a few seconds, not saying anything. He then raised his hand up, and slapped Zelda across the cheek, knocking her over.
I clenched my fist. I began to tremble, not with fear, but with anger. How dare he? How dare he? How dare he!? I got up, filled with adrenaline, hate, anger, and whatever else, and hit him in the stomach. He doubled over. I grabbed his head, and brought it into my knee. He stumbled backward. I then ran at him, enraged, and threw the hardest punch I could right into his face.
3 - hit combo.
He was out cold. Everyone left in the room stared at me. Zelda's friends had helped her up, and began taking her to the nurse. Before she was out of sight, she turned her head and looked at me, for a few seconds. Is she happy things turned out this way? Is this what she wanted? I hope so, because I'm in a lot of trouble right now.
Well, if it's for her, then I guess it's worth it.
Dun. Dun. Duuuuuuun. So what do you all think about chapter 3? Gut? Nicht so gut? Please review!
