So...yeah. That happened. Here I am at home, playing video games. I haven't moved from this spot in days apart from going to the bathroom. I should probably shower... Oh well, that doesn't really matter right now. If you couldn't tel,l I'm pretty depressed. My mother took my computer games away, my games consoles, and even my secret hidden game consoles. Well at least she didn't find my secret secret hidden game consoles. Call me obsessive, but it's how I am.
Sheik and Midna called me a few times, but my phone is all the way over on my desk so I couldn't answer them. And if you're wandering how I know that without checking, it's because they both have their own ring-tones.
Midna's is 'I kissed a girl' (let's not go into that story now) and Sheik's is silence because nobody ever notices him when he's around.
So right now I'm sitting here playing flute of time on the wintendo 65. It's so retro. My little 'ban' will be lifted in a few days. I think. I've been inside for so long I've kinda lost count how many days that I've been here for.
I put my controller down and slouched back in my bean bag chair. I can't believe I beat up Ganondorf for a girl I barely even know and have a one-sided crush on. I should probably forget about her, I mean, it'll only lead to more trouble. I closed my eyes. Thinking hurts.
...
"GET UP RIGHT NOW!" I heard my mother yell as she flung open my door, marched into my room and pulled open my curtains. I hissed like a vampire being exposed to sunlight (but not like those vampires from twilight they're dumb), slowly getting up.
"Why?" I groaned, half asleep. By the way, I had the most awesome dream. I was this guy in green and I was all like: "HYAA!" and swinging a sword around and stuff! Wow I think I play too much video games.
My mother glared at me. "Go. To. University. Now." What? I've been banned for a week, and it's been...11 days.
Oh.
I ran out if the house with my shirt on one arm and unzipped trousers. Flying low Faron, flying low. I made I to the bus stop panting and out of breath. If a girl with boyfriend issues hands me water and gets her to fight her boyfriend I swear to god.
"Hey". It was Zelda. So are we skipping the whole giving me water thing and going right to the fighting boyfriend thing? Oh wait, that's already happened (I had an extra bowl of sarcasm flakes this morning).
I turned to look at her. She had an apologetic look on her face. I don't need your sympathy woman! In fact I'm trying to avoid you. You are not helping!
"So you're coming back now?" She asked, clearly trying to make small talk. Like it wasn't obvious enough.
I have made a personal decision to give up on Zelda. I know I've been obsessed with her since who knows how long, but I really don't need all this drama in my life.
I'm just gonna continue living my everyday life that is completely plain and repetitive. Over and over again. And now I'm sad.
Realising that I hasn't answered Zelda's question I mumbled "Yeah. Uh...I am." I stood up and walked onto the bus, placing my bag in the empty seat next to me, and looked out of the window.
Zelda sat down on the row next to me, and looked over at me like she wanted to say something. It's almost funny, I've been trying to talk to her for months, and now she's the one trying to talk to me.
I avoided eye contact and awkwardly put my headphones on. Okay. Honesty time. I really really like Zelda. I can't get over that. I can pretend to, but I can't. Truthfully, I'm kind of scared. My life is changing too much too fast. I was fine with just watching Zelda from afar, but this, her taking to me like we're friends is too weird for me. I'm not good with girls, I'll mess it up, I know it.
I looked at my own reflection I'm the bus mirror. I'm nothing to look at either. Pretty plain-looking actually. I sighed.
The bus reached it's destination and I quickly gathered my things and got up.
Like usual, classes were plain. I've got loads of homework that I'm not gonna do, and everyone is gossiping about me and the fight.
On the way to English I walked past Zelda, but pretended I didn't see her, and in History I saw her look at me in the corner of my eye.
At lunch I met up with an angry Midna and a somewhat annoyed Sheik.
"You've been avoiding us." Midna said, glaring at me.
"Hello to you too." I replied sarcastically. Truth be told I was kinda avoiding them. Midna would've probably yelled at me down the phone, and Sheik would've started crying when I'd forget who I was talking to mid conversation.
"But it's not just us," Sheik added. "It's Zelda too." Ugh. Not in the mood guys.
"Can we just change the subject please?" I asked, not wanting to talk about this right now.
"Um..." A voice came from behind me, who was coincidentally the last person I wanted to see right now. "Can we...talk?" She asked. Sheik and Midna gestured me to go. But I didn't get to finish my chocolate milk...
She took me to a bench outside the cafeteria and we say down.
"So, what is it you want to talk about? I questioned to break the silence.
She looked me in the eye. "About what happened...I'm really sorry. I didn't think you'd fight, but you stood up for me. So, thank you." I was a little taken aback.
I was going to say something in return but before I could she continued. "It's my fault you got into trouble. I'm a bad influence. So I think you should just avoid me." Wait, what? I was avoiding her, but she made me talk to her to tell me to avoid her. What?
I was going to stop her, but I couldn't think of what to say. She got up and left. I continued to sit, confused.
I guess this is what I wanted?
So? How was it? What should happen next? Please review. Peace out!
