Author's Note: I told you this story is going to be up faster than Down to Skyloft! I hope all you guys and gals like the current update schedule: AT LEAST ONE EVERY DAY! And I just found out that there are two 'n's in 'Labrynna'! I'm not going back and fixing it, but I am going to type that from now on. OOPS!
Excuse time. I won't have new chapters up on Friday through Sunday this week. Sorry. And… I sprained one of my fingers… so it hurts to type.
Enjoy new chapter!

"How long do you keep the cast again?" Midna asked.
"Six weeks. Why?" I replied.
"That long?" she said, astounded. "You know people are going to judge you even more now, right? Thinking you're faking or you exaggerated."
"Rei esd segif un yjat," I mumbled in Labrynnian.
"You've got to stop doing that!" she said. "Or teach my how to speak Labrynnian!"
"I'll try," I said. "But you have to remember, I live there."
"What did you say? In Hylian, please?" she asked.
"Rei esd segif un yjat." I said. "That means, 'I was afraid of that.'"
"Oh," she said. "Please, teach me how to speak… Zeldinian."
"Hmph," I turned around. "Are you insulting me?"
"You weren't supposed to know that!"
"Let's just go to breakfast," I said grabbing my chain with my dorm key on it. I put it around my neck and grabbed my crutches. I raised myself off my bed.
"Got it?" Midna asked.
"I'm fine," I said, struggling. "Like I told Link yesterday; I don't need to be baby-sat."
"Right," she said, opening the door. I hopped out and waited for her to lock it. We walked down to hallway to the elevators. Of the few people who were in the hallway, they all looked either scared or sorry. I didn't bother putting up my hair curtain.
"Zelda!"
Link, Mikau, and Beck were waiting for us at the elevator.
"You good?" Link asked as he pushed the button.
I got out my phone and texted Midna.
Why does he care so much?
"I'm fine, thanks," I said calmly. Link pressed the button for the elevator.
My phone buzzed.
Idk… crush maybe? Jk
"What are you two doing?" Mikau asked, trying to look at my phone screen.
"None of your business," I said, pulling my phone away from his point of view. Midna pushed him away playfully.
The elevator came up. They waited until I got in. Link followed me. Beck was last. I set my crutches against the wall and balanced myself on the metal bars.
"So, how does it feel to have crutches?" Beck asked.
"It hurts after a while," I said, "but I'm sure I'll get to it."
Mikau's phone started playing "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley.
"Who's that?" Midna asked.
"Lulu's wondering where we are and how Zelda's doing," he said, looking at his phone.
"Tell her I'm fine," I said.
"Sure thing," he said punching in letters.
The elevator landed. I grabbed my crutches and hobbled out. Link closely followed.
We got to the cafeteria. Link ran ahead to hold the door for everyone. We all thanked him when we passed. We walked into the vast room full of students and tables.
Everyone looked as we passed. More whispers came with. Some were nice.
"Poor her."
"She didn't even do anything."
"Vaati's such a jerk."
"That must have hurt."
Some weren't no nice.
"She probably deserved it."
"She faked it. I saw."
"That's not even a real cast."
"She's just trying to get attention."
My group and I got our food, finished it as soon as possible, and got out.
"What's your first class?" Link asked me.
"Chemistry," I said.
"That's mine, too!" Mikau said. "I can lead you to it."
"Thanks, man," I said quietly as we left the building.
He shook his head as if it was nothing.
"I'm off to Holodrumian," Beck said.
"One of us should learn Labrynnian," Midna said.
"One of us already does," I said, pointing to myself.
"Another one of us," Midna said, smirking.
"I'm learning Labrynian," Link said. "I'm planning on going there for Spring break, so I want to know how to speak it."
"You already know Hylian, Holodrumian, and Terminian!" Mikau said. "Why do you need to know more?"
"I travel," Link said. "I still need to learn Ancient Hylian, so I can understand Ms. Sheikah."
"Oh, yeah!" Midna exclaimed. "She's always talking Ancient Hylian when she's reading poetry!"
"Oh, well," I said, breaking up the conversation. "We need to get to our classes."
They all agreed. Mikau directed me to a building with five classrooms in it; Ms. Sheikah's Reading, Mr. Tula's History, Dr. Mizumi's Chemistry, Mr. Gondo's workshop, and Ms. Ambi's Labrynnian.
We walked into the third classroom that had a Periodic Table of Elements on the door. He opened the door for me and we walked through. There were not many students in the class, but there was one I noticed; Nayru.
"Aw, damn," Mikau said under his breath.
Nayru heard me enter the room and looked to Mikau and me. She smiled at him and glared at me.
"Now class," Dr. Mizumi paused to look at the door, "Mikau, who's this?"
"I'm Zelda Harp," I said. Scared eyes stared though me.
"Why weren't you in this class yesterday?" Mizumi asked.
"I broke my ankle during breakfast," I said quietly. Most of the students gasped and had worried looks, but Nayru just rolled her eyes and turned away.
"Unfortunate," Mizumi said, scratching his chin. "Well, find a seat and let's get started!"
Mikau sat down in a free seat close to the exit. There were no more seats except for one, and it was next to Nayru. I rested my crutches on the chair and sat down next to the diva.
"So, it's broken?" she asked. "Right. Like anyone believes that." She flipped her blue-silver hair so that it whipped my face. She smiled and turned away.
