Ruto and Link made their way to their lab table in the back of the class as the teacher walked in. The teacher approached the board and begin to write the day's activities. "Now today class we'll be reading chapter 2 sections 2 through 4 and then we'll be starting the experiment on page 74. Any questions?" he stated. Ruto's hand shot up. "Yes Ruto?"

"Yeah, can't we just finish the experiment today instead of only starting it?" Ruto asked

"No Miss Ruto, the experiment takes the course of one week to complete. Now could you stop being so sarcastic in the morning?" the teacher stated, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Yes Prof. Rauru." Ruto looked at Link. "This guy seriously needs to calm down."

"No kidding, but you also need to stop being so sarcastic." Link responded, taking out a notebook.

"But its so fun!" Ruto pulled out her book. "You can't ask me to change the way I am just for one old geezer. Besides, we have bigger matters to attend to." Ruto said leaning closer to the blond.

"Like what? 'Cause this assignment seems pretty important as of right now." Link wrote down something in his notebook.

"How about the fact that you like the councilman's daughter and you still haven't told the co-captains of the cheer-squad." Ruto looked at ink's notebook and wrote down the same thing.

"To be honest, thats none of your business. It involves me and me alone." Link finished the first page of the book.

"Well, I'm only looking out for my friend, that's all. If you ever get up the courage to ask out Zelda, I hope things go well." she stuck a piece of gum in her mouth.

"When I get up the courage?! Are you implying I'm scared to ask her out? I'll have you know, the only reason I haven't done so yet is because she has a boyfriend." Link proclaimed.

"Puh-lease! It took you at least 2 years before you asked Saria, and then another 3 months to ask out Malon, courage ain't exactly your strong point." Ruto finished by blowing a bubble.

"Oh shut up! And aren't you suppose to be reading?" Link turned to the final section they were suppose to read for the day. Ruto stared at his book and then at hers, realizing he was almost done, and she had only read the first paragraph.

"I'll get it done later." Ruto picked up Link's notebook and wrote down the his notes into her own book.

"Can't you ever do any of your own work? You always copy my notes."

"Not my fault you let me." she handed him back his notebook. He took it and glared at her for a moment. Class continued for most of its remainder without any major screw-ups. Class was about to end, when Ruto began an old conversation. "You never told me how your gonna tell those two that you don't want to date either one of them." Ruto said, gathering her things.

"I say again, its not your business, it involves me, and me alone, end of discussion."

"Yeah but-"

"End of discussion." Link repeated

"You're no fun!" Ruto complained. With that, first period was over, and they headed off to find their fire headed friend. Their search ended rather quickly, as that same red-spiked head flew down the hall and stopped in front of them. "Someone is hyper, excited, or needs to use the bathroom." Ruto said looking at the boy.

"I'm hyper and excited!" the red head exclaimed.

"Whats her name?" Ruto asked.

"Huh? How did you-?" Ruto just looked at him. "Oh yeah, you're you. Anyway, her name is Elice, shes beautiful!" Roy spun around and hugged Link.

"I'm all for expression, but I don't roll that way!" Link ground his fist into Roy's head lightly.

"Ow! I'm sorry! I'm just so happy!"

"Wait, how did you just meet this girl? Did you not notice her in the past?" Ruto asked.

"She just transferred here, today was her first day. Oh there she is!" Roy pointed at a girl with long blue hair and a light blue blouse.

"Her? She tried out for cheer leading yesterday. We're considering her for the squad." Ruto explained.

"One more for the squad? Its just one more girl on the sidelines cheering just like all the other ditzes on the field." Link stated. Ruto punched his arm. "Ow!"

"I happen to be one of those 'ditzes' thank you!" Ruto shouted.

"Like I said ditzes." Link answered. Ruto rolled her eyes.

"You know shes Marth's sister, right?" Ruto directed her question at Roy.

"No, which means, no chance." Roy sighed in sadness.

"Whats the problem?" Link asked, confused.

"Wow he's dense. Marth and Roy don't really see eye to eye, Marth won't let Roy near his sis."

"That's not right, he should just stay out of his sister's personal life." Link said

"You should be worrying more about how your gonna get Marth away from governmental beauty."

"Ruto, I'm not gonna try breaking them up. Thats not right, if they break up, yay for me, if they don't oh well." was Link's bland response.

They arrived at their next class, Geometry, Roy's least favorite subject. Luckily for them, the three sat near each other, well, lucky for them anyway. The teacher approached their podium.

"Class, be silent and listen to me." the teacher bellowed. The fact that the teacher was a bit of a bitch just added on to the reasons for hating the class. "We have a new student for this class, say hello to Elice, its her first day here so please be kind to her."

"Yes Ms. N." Ms. N. was a strange teacher indeed. She had dark skin, yet, she had bright redish-orange hair, and an abnormally large nose. This only added to Roy's fear of her, if she ever talked to him about his grades, he always had a slight fear of being poked in the eye by her nose.

"Guys...its her. Elice." Roy let out a dreamy sigh.

"Roy, relax. Nothing to worried about." Link said, taking out a notebook. "Shes not sitting by us, so it'll all be okay."

"Elice, you shall sit in back behind the lad with red hair." Ms. N. said while writing the assignment on the board. Elice moved to the back of the class and sat in her seat behind Roy. Roy began to breath a little heavier than normal. "Now, you children are being allowed to work in groups. But first, Elice, do you know anyone in this class?" Ms. N. asked, pointing at said girl with her chalk.

"Um, yes, I know Roy, he's in my History class." Elice answered.

"Fine, then you shall work with him. Now open your books to page 98 and do problems one through twenty-two for class work, and then you'll be given your homework later. You may begin."

"Hey Link, wanna work together?" Ruto asked the green-clad boy.

"Do I have a choice?" was his reply.

"Not in the least." Ruto smiled, pulling out her book. Ruto heard Roy's increase in breathing. "Relax, it'll all be fine. Just relax." she whispered to the red head.

"I guess we should get started, right?" Elice smiled at Roy, causing him to blush. "Roy, you okay? Your face is red. Are you warm?" Elice asked in a caring tone.

"I-I'm fine. We should get started." Roy opened his book. "Shes talking to me, and I'm not acting like a bumbling moron, maybe this will be okay." Roy thought. He smiled and began to scrible done the math problem.

"They would be so cute together." said Ruto.

"Work Ruto, your not copying this time." Link said, writing down the number '9'.

"This is wonderful! I'm working with the girl I love, and she seems to like me, at least as a friend, maybe things will blossom from there. Maybe I should ask her to hang out."Roy thought. "Hey, Elice?"

"Hmm?" Elice looked up from her paper.

"Would you-"

"Hey do you know the answer to number twelve?" Ruto interrupted Roy.

"I think its 3.816. But I'm not sure." Elice answered.

"Thank you." Ruto replied with a smile.

"I hate you Ruto." Roy whispered angrily.

"No you don't!" she chirped.

"Back to work Ruto." Ms. N. belted out from her desk.

"Sorry ma'am." Ruto mumbled to herself as she turned back to her desk.

Class had gone on for its remainder without any interruptions. Roy's blush had calmed from a fiery red to a pale pink, almost un-noticeable. Ruto managed to copy Link's work yet again, and Roy had made a pleasent conversation with Elice. The bell rang signaling the end of the second class, and the soon beginning of the third.

"Hey Elice, you wanna hang out with us after school?" Ruto asked.

"Sure, it sounds like fun." Elice smiled. Roy's blush became a rose petal red.

"Well by 'us' she means everyone but me, I have to work later. I've gotta make sure that everything goes well for the band and that I keep them happy." said Link

"Where do you think we'll be hanging out Link?" Ruto asked. Link went wide eyed.

"I hate you right now."

"They always do hun, they always do." Ruto tapped the blond's shoulder, despite his annoyance. "So its settled. Meet us at this address at 7, okay Elice?" Ruto scribbled the address on a piece of paper and handed it to Elice.

"Thank you, I guess I'll see you guys tonight. ciao mis amis!" Elice shouted as she ran down the hall.

"Au revoir!" Ruto shouted and returned to the two boys, "Au revoir to you boys as well." Ruto walked down the hall to her next class.

"That girl is annoying as all hell." said Link.

"Only if she wants to be. Well, see ya at lunch." Roy waved good-bye and went to class. Link sighed.

"Its gonna be a long day." Link turned and walked up the stairs, and headed to his next torture of the day.
