Hello loyal followers and reviewers! Even though there's about 2 of you…

Welcome to the new, exciting addition of Great Expectations! Aklflapsfnj!

I was itching to post the second chapter, for my own benefit since I don't have much of a following yet. OH WELL

The more you review, the more encouraged I am to continue writing.

Enough blathering, here it is…

Chapter 2

Midna's jaw practically dropped to the floor, and even sweet ole' Link seemed to flinch inwardly. Zelda took a shocked step back, her hand over her now rapidly beating heart. In front her stood one of the most beautiful and unique girls she had ever seen. She had clear cerulean eyes and her long wavy hair was the same color. She was maybe an inch shorter than Zelda and had a willowy figure, filled just enough to keep guys satisfied, but not enough that they'd be caught talking about 'dat ass.'

"Um, excuse me? What do you think you're doing, like, creeping around at my door? Do you like, have a problem?"

Her high, nasally voice completely broke the illusion of her beauty. This. Girl. Was. A. Total. Snob.

"I-I'm your new roommate," Zelda stuttered, quickly extending her hand.

She looked from Zelda's face, to her hand, then back to her face, snorted, and brushed past her. "As if. Don't touch any of my stuff. Goddess, I wish they would warn us about this shit."

She shimmied away, not before giving Link a sultry smile. It was obvious she was trying to swing her non-existant hips as she walked, and failed pathetically at it. Well, to Zelda she did.

Midna walked into her dorm and sat on the already made bed, complete with turquoise bed sheets and black pillow casing. "Don't touch anything," she mimicked, picking up a pillow and laying it on the opposite end of the bed. "Take that, bitch."

Zelda laughed, brushing off the blue haired girl's rudeness. "Ooh, Midna, you're so bad." She picked up her luggage and joined her, Link following and closing the door behind him.

"You're the bad one, Zelda. Link, did you hear what she said to Vaati? Told him off in front of everyone. So stellar." Midna tossed her impossibly long orange hair behind her shoulder and patted Zelda's blonde head.

Link rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Really? I'm sorry I missed it. Vaati gets away with too much."

"I heard he raped a girl." Midna said in a gossipy sort of voice.

"Ew, really? I wonder if that's true," Zelda said, shuddering, "Speaking of ew, who was that girl just now?"

It was Link who answered. "That's Nayru. She and her friends are all oracles so they think they're some hot shit. Nobody really likes them but you have to be nice to them or else you'll find your social life completely ruined."

"Oracles? You mean the oracles of time, seasons, and secrets? And they're mean?"

"Yep, total bitches. They do their job but that doesn't stop them from fucking with people. If I were you, I'd avoid her at all cost." Midna said.

"But how am I supposed to avoid her if she's my roommate?" Zelda whined, putting her face into her hands.

"Hey, it's not so bad," Link said, leaving his position against the bookshelf to come crouch in front of her. He placed a finger gently under her chin and caught her eye. "You're beautiful, you're nice, and people will like you. Just be yourself and you'll make the right friends." He smiled at her and she felt her cheeks flush, much to her embarrassment.

"Thanks, Link," she mumbled.

He stood up and looked at his brown leather watch. "I gotta run. I promised Pipit I'd meet him at the Café along with a few others. Actually, if you want, you guys can come. How's that sound?" He raised his eyebrows and rested his hand on the doorknob.

Zelda smiled sadly at him. "Thanks, but I really should unpack…"

"How about you Midna?"

Midna looked longingly at the door, but shook her head. "What kind of friend would I be to leave Zelda here all alone to unpack? Maybe later."

Link smiled sheepishly. "Alright, I'll see you guys around. And Zelda," he said, meeting her eyes once more, "if you need anything, let me know."

She smiled and told him she would, and he left with a wave.

"Alright Zelda, what should we do first?" Midna asked, poking one giant suitcase with her toe.

She sighed. "I guess we'll do the biggest bags first. Oh, and you should probably put Nayru's pillow back. She'll take that out on me, you know."

Across the room, separated only by a half wall, there was a plain bed, dresser, bookshelf, desk, and an empty closet space. To the right of her bed and beside Nayru's bookshelf lead into a separate room which Zelda assumed was the bathroom. It was small but everything was nice and clean, which was to be expected from a 5-star academy.

Zelda and Midna spent most of the late evening re-arranging, unpacking, and decorating her room. Her bookshelf was now filled with her magic spell books, Hyrulean history books, Hylian descent information, and a few deku scrub dolls. She added her favorite light pink comforter to the otherwise white bed, stuffed her dresser and closet full of her clothes, and arranged all of her cosmetics and toiletries at the separate vanity in the surprisingly spacious bathroom. She also tossed down a fuzzy teal rug for some more color and added her cute novelty Tokay lamp and alarm clock to her dresser. At one point while unpacking one of Zelda's bags, Midna had pulled out a lacy pair of cheetah print panties, squirmed up her face and laughed, tossing them at Zelda, who laughed innocently and put them in her dresser. By the time they were done, Zelda was hurling herself on her bed, and Midna happily plopped down on Nayru's.

"Hey Zel, what time is it?" Midna asked, tossing Nayru's pillows on the floor and laying against the flat mattress.

"My cell says it's a few minutes after 11. Time for bed?" Zelda asked hopefully, silently praying Nayru wouldn't come back and see the Twili girl messing with her stuff.

"Bed? Are you kidding? It's Friday. Time to go out!" Midna cheered, clapping her hands.

"Go out? On my first day here? Is that a good idea?" she asked, sitting up and hugging her pillow to her chest.

"Um, duh. Now I can introduce you to all my friends! Let's go to the café and see if Link is still there. I totally saw you checking him out."

"I was not checking him out!" She squeked, obviously lying.

"Oh whatever," Midna said, slipping her shoes back on, "you blushed almost every time he spoke to you. And hey, you might even have a chance with the kid."

Zelda got up and went to brush her teeth. "So, he's single?" she called from the bathroom.

"Very single. His last girlfriend was Malon, this farmer girl with awful red hair. She's a total slut, but she's really smart, and I think that's why he liked her in the first place. Plus, she puts out." Midna answered. She joined her friend in the bathroom and adjusted her long orange hair in the mirror above Nayru's vanity.

"Well if he's looking for a prostitute, count me out. How's my makeup?" She asked, letting her friend examine her face.

"Need some lip gloss. Toothpaste mouth."

"Right. Okay, I'm ready whenever you are."

Midna clapped her hands together and darted out of the bathroom with Zelda following close behind. As soon as they made it to the court yard, she knew that getting to and from her dorm was going to be a total pain. She could practically feel the calluses grow on her feet from just thinking about how far she would have to walk everyday.

The café was on the campus, behind the pond. It looked like one of those romantic lakeside diners, with a cute plaza in front and classy street lanterns providing light for those sitting at the tables outside. It was made of thick stone like the rest of the buildings, but Zelda could tell that it was a sort of "students only" kind of place.

When she and Midna entered the café, they were immediately greeted.

"Middy! Hey, over here!" a boy with brown hair yelled, breaking away from the small crowd at a distant table.

"Pippy!" She laughed, tugging Zelda towards the group. As they got closer, she noticed a certain blonde boy watching her from the group. Link.

"Zel, this is my friend Pipit," Midna said, tucking herself under his arm. "Pippy, this is Zelda Harkinian."

Pipit extended his hand towards her and she took it gratefully. "Nice to finally meet you, Zelda. I've already heard quite a bit about you."

Before Zelda could respond, Link came up to them, never taking his eyes off Zelda. "Hey! I'm glad you guys could make it. I was hoping I'd see you again."

Pipit gave him a sly look and wiggled his eyebrows. Link returned it with another look that said 'shut-up-before-I-rip-the-freckles-off-your-face'. Zelda took this opportunity to overlook the silent conversation and speak up.

"Well, I was just going to go to bed, but Midna convinced me otherwise." She gave him a wide smile, trying to hide the fact that his overwhelming hotness was affecting her.

Link moved closer to her, taking one of her hands. "Would you come sit with me?"

"Yes- I mean yeah, sure. Midna?" Zelda questioned, looking at her friend.

She waved a hand at her. "Go ahead girl, I'm going to order something to drink. Meetcha in a sec." She untangled herself from Pipit's arm and walked towards the bartender.

Link began to lead her back towards his group of friends, when a familiar voice called out from behind her.

"Sis?"

Everyone turned, including Zelda. For a second, she was confused as the tall, blonde, muscular man with red eyes stared at her from the entrance, but realization washed over her like an incoming wave and she felt herself grin and her eyes light up. "Sheik!"

Ah ha! Sheik is her brother! Obviously, since Sheik is her alter ego in the games, he's the closest male to her besides Link. Plus I really like the idea of her having a brother with her at school.

I bet none of you even came close to thinking I would put the oracles in this story. It's actually kind of a Mean Girls set-up. Oh, also, imagine Nayru's voice sounding like Mandy's from Totally Spies. Hee hee.

PLEASE REVIEW BECAUSE IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED OK
