One Year's Eternity
Chapter 3
August 20, First Day of Classes
6:30 A.M.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm on my phone. My alarm was "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne. No one could sleep to that.
ALL ABOOARD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Aye!
I pushed the button before it could go any farther into the song.
"Why'd you stop it?" Midna asked, already dressed. "I love that song."
"I do, too, but it's an alarm," I replied tiredly.
"Hurry up, and get dressed. Breakfast in 30 minutes," she said.
"I'll be ready in 10," I told her.
I got out of bed, got into my dresser, and shuffled through my clothes. I chose my Aperture Science tee and a pair of skinnies. Converse of course, and kept my hair down, in case of need for my hair curtain. I was about to step out of the room.
"What, no make-up?" Midna asked before I opened the door.
"What's make-up?" I asked.
"Not that you don't look flawless without it," she said, "But your eyes need life."
She dragged me into the bathroom and gave me as much of a makeover as I would allow. I looked in the mirror to find a girl that looked similar to me, but had lavender and turquoise around her eyes.
"It's called eye-shadow," Midna said. "Not that much of a difference, but your skin is amazing without anything. I just wanted to make my mark."
"You definitely did, and it looks awesome," I told her.
"Thanks," she said. Midna had put dark red and brown around her eyes, making the green in them show even more. She was wearing a Possessed Pikachu shirt and jean capris. She was also wearing Cargo boots. She had even put red clip-on streaks in her hair. She looked even tougher than normal.
We left the room and headed for the cafeteria.
When we got to the elevator, no one else was there. We got in and I pushed the 'Ground Level' button. On floor Eight, Saria came in.
"Hey, Zelda," she said as she walked in. "Midna."
"Hey, Saria," Midna said.
Floor Seven, Marin came in.
"Hey, guys!" she said.
We all greeted her and talked on the way down.
"What did you think of Intros last night?" Midna asked.
"The food was okay. Some of the people looked really… unique," Saria said.
"There was this one senior boy," Marin said, leaning on the wall. "He was so cute!"
"There's only two senior guys," I said. "It's either Beck or Link."
"Link! That's his name!" she exclaimed. "The one with no last name. Why is that?"
Midna and I looked at each other.
"You wanna answer this?" I asked.
"Fine," Midna said with a sigh. "He never knew his parents. He wouldn't know what his last name is."
"Oh," Marin said sadly. "That's terrible!"
The elevator dinged. We stepped out.
"What's your first class?" Saria asked Midna and me.
"Um…" I checked my phone. "Chemistry."
"Mine's Algebra," Midna said.
"Algebra!" Marin said. "I have Algebra, too!"
"Nice," Midna said. "Different class, though."
"Aw," Marin sighed.
"I have Ancient Hylian," Saria said.
"That's my second class," I said.
"I should take Labrynian," Midna said. "Then I could understand what you mumble to yourself!"
I playfully punched her arm. All four of us walked to the cafeteria. It was a short walk, though. The cafeteria was the building right next to the dorms. We walked into the building.
Judging looks. Judging looks came from everywhere. I put up my hair curtain immediately. Murmurs and whispers came with every look. I overheard some of them.
"How'd she get accepted?"
"She's probably planning something."
"Watch out; you know what the other Harp did."
"No doubt she's got some evil in her, no matter how many excuses she throws at us."
"That skank probably still has her father's plans, and motives."
I clenched my fists as tight as I could. I wanted to scream, but I didn't want to make it worse. I was passing all these people in silence. Someone thought it funny to stick their foot out in front of me and trip me.
I didn't just hit the floor. I hit the leg of a table with my ankle. Hard.
I gasped in pain, holding back a scream. I grabbed my ankle. I let it fall limp, since it didn't stand up straight now.
No one but Midna and Saria helped me. Everyone else but Marin just laughed.
I heard a shout from far away. "She's gonna blow!"
My ears got hot. Tears stung the back of my eyes. My ankle lay of the floor in an unnatural position.
"Let me through!"
Genin walked through the cafeteria. She got on the floor next to Midna and me.
"Who tripped you?" she asked.
Midna pointed to a hooded boy with a scar on his face and purple hair. "Vaati."
"I'm disappointed in you," she stood up to face Vaati. "My office. I'll see you in a minute."
Vaati walked away, but not without laughing to his friends.
Genin grabbed my foot. "It's broken," she gasped.
I shuddered when she ran her hand down my ankle.
"We need to get you to a hospital," Genin said quickly. "Midna, call an ambulance."
Midna got out her phone and started punching in '911'. She handed it to Genin.
"We need an ambulance for a University student. She has a broken ankle," Genin said urgently into the phone. She hung up. "They're coming, Zelda."
I heard another whisper. "Why does Ms. Dragmire care about her so much?"
Does anyone else know who her parents are?
A siren came from outside. People in blue uniforms came in with a rolling bed. They picked me up and put me on it gently. One person walked up to the bed who I didn't expect to see right then.
"Zelda? Are you okay? I got a text from Midna," Link said, worry clearly in his face and voice.
I couldn't reply through all my stuttering.
I'm an idiot.
They wheeled me away backwards, me still facing all the people in the cafeteria. I saw Mikau and Beck walk up with the same worried looks on their faces that Link had. Mikau was joined by who I could only guess was Lulu. Midna laid her head on Beck's shoulder, and he replied with a gentle hand on her arm.
The doors closed in front of me. The people moved the legs of the bed so that it would fit in the ambulance.
Best first day of school ever.
.
8:13 A.M.
"I'm sorry to tell you, but it is broken, as your principal thought," the doctor, Dr. Bagu, said to me after my X-Ray.
"Vice," I whispered. "She's my vice-principal."
"Sorry. Sorry about all of this. I hope today wasn't significant in any way," Bagu said.
"It's… the first day of classes," I said, flinching.
"Oh," Bagu said with a troubled look. "Well, we'll get you a cast and some crutches, so you'll be back by tomorrow."
"Thank you," I whispered.
There was a knock at the door. "Visitors for Zelda Harp," a voice called.
"Come in," Bagu said.
A nurse opened the door. Behind her, Midna, Link, Mikau, Beck, Saria, Marin, and the girl I guessed was Lulu walked in.
"Thank the Gods, you're okay!" Midna said, fast-walking to the bedside.
"I'm sort of okay," I said. "It's broken."
"Oh, no!" Marin exclaimed. "That's terrible!"
"Yeah," Beck said. "How did it happen?"
"I'm not sure," I said. "A kid named Vaati tripped me, and I slammed my ankle on something."
"Ouch," Saria said, covering her mouth.
"Why are guys even here?" I asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?"
"We got an excuse," Lulu said.
"A pretty valid one at that!" Mikau exclaimed.
"Eti umo," I mumbled in my native tongue.
"What?" Beck asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"Right," Midna said with a smirk.
"You gonna be okay without us?" Link asked. He seemed genuinely worried for me.
But, why?
"I don't need to be baby-sat," I told him.
Another knock at the door. "We have a cast."
"Bring it in," Bagu said.
The cast consisted of white cloth. They put it on and added a layer of some sort of liquid every layer.
"Would you like some color to wrap around it?" the nurse asked.
"What colors do you have?" I asked back.
"We have red, blue, orange, purple, green, and some sort of salmon color," she replied.
"Salmon," I said. "That's my favorite color."
"Okay. I'll bring it in. And a Sharpie."
"A Sharpie?" asked Midna. "Why?"
"You guys do want to sign it, right?" the nurse asked.
They all nodded their heads.
"Then I'll bring a Sharpie," she said leaving the room.
After she left, everyone was silent for a little bit.
"Zelda," Link said, "I almost forgot to tell you; Vaati has double homework for a week."
"That's awesome," I laughed.
The nurse walked back in with a roll of salmon-colored wrap. The white cloth had become solid by now. She started wrapping the salmon around it. She glued the color like they did for the white wrap. She then handed Midna the Sharpie.
"Knock yourselves out," she said sarcastically.
Midna wrote her name in almost devilish letters. Beck wrote his name next in all capitals. Mikau wrote his name with a fin-like shape under it. Saria did something similar, but a leaf and not a fin. Marin wrote her name in fancy cursive and drew a hibiscus next to it. The other girl wrote her name, it was Lulu, with bubble letters. Link was last, and he wrote his name, dotting the 'i' with a Triforce symbol.
"Thanks, guys," I said after Link was done.
Not so bad after all. And I think I have a Secret Admirer…
