CHAPTER THREE: Her Annoyance

Every girl dreams of having a guy fawning over her and wishing for her to theirs and theirs only. They wanted a guy who would willing do anything for her. They wanted someone who thought they were utterly beautiful and would die to be with her.

Not Zelda.

Okay, so she did want a guy like that... But did it have to be..

Groose!?

He was so annoying! And the way he picked on Link bugged Zelda to no end either! She hated when he would sit there mumbling to himself about her with that stupid little look on his face. I mean, how can Cawlin and Strich stand that! Zelda thought to herself as she made her way out of the kitchen of the academy. I'm sure they'd rather talk about other things than me. I wonder if Groose even knows that Cawlin likes Karane, or about how Strich is such a bug freak!

She sighed and started walking to the classroom, where she saw some people already sitting. Am I late? She wondered and she glanced at the clock on the wall. 8:50... I'm not late. She sighed, relieved. She walked into the classroom and glanced at the seats. There was Fledge and Link, sitting in the first row. The rows behind them were empty, except for the last row, where she saw Pipit and Karane locking lips.

"Ahem!" Zelda said really loudly, it was enough to get Fledge and Link's attention, and to also break Pipit and Karane up.

They instantly looked over at Zelda, both of them adorning a guilty look, accompanied by a heavy blush. Pipit scratched the back of his head and looked down, and Karane hid her face behind one of her hands.

Zelda held back a giggle as she turned to Link and Fledge, "Hey!" she smiled at them, Link smiled back instantly. Fledge gave her a hesitant shy smile, like he always gave to every girl. Zelda plopped onto the bench next to Link.

Zelda would admit, to only herself, that she did have a romantic interest in Link. But he turned her down, but said they could still be friends, and even though it was awkward at first, he made true to his words.

"Hey Zelda," Link moved his books over, that were in Zelda's space.

Zelda opened her mouth to reply but before she could a loud voice boomed into the room.

"The Groosenator is here!" A familiar, and annoying, voice rang throughout the classroom. Zelda didn't even spare a glance in his direction, knowing that he would probably want her to do that.

Please don't sit in the row behind us. Please don't sit in the row behind us. Please don't sit in the ro- dangit. Zelda thought as Groose took a seat directly behind Link. Cawlin and Strich in tow, sitting on either side of the pompadour wearer.

"Hey doofus," Groose smirked and kicked the bottom of the part of the bench Link was sitting on, and laughed.

Fledge gasped and quickly looked away. Link didn't react at all and just ignored him. Zelda however was fuming.

Groose reached over and took a book out of Cawlin's hands before he threw it at the back of Fledge's head.

Fledge squealed and he hunched over, bracing himself for more, just in case. Groose chortled with laughter.

"Hey, that was my book!" Cawlin shouted and he reached over to grab Groose's. "Give me yours now, or go get mine off the ground."

Groose shoved his hand away, "No way. Get off your butt and get your own," Groose said as he hugged his books to his large chest. Cawlin sighed in defeat, and got up to get his book.

"I hope Instructor Owlan will cover for Instructor Horwell today. I know he won't put up with Groose for one second." Fledge murmured quietly to Link. Link chuckled and nodded.

"Okay, everybody, sit down," Instructor Horwell strode into the classroom, much to trio in the first row's dismay. Horwell's comment was directed at Cawlin, who was still walking back to his seat after retrieving his thrown book. Horwell set a few books down on his desk and went up to the chalkboard. "Alright let's get started." He said more to himself than to the class as he began to write on the chalkboard.

Groose started to giggle, and Zelda knew he was up to something. She heard the sound of air whizzing through a tube and saw Link reach up to his hair feeling. Groose giggled more, and Zelda watched as Link pulled out a spit wad from his hair.

Finally, Zelda turned to Groose to glare at him. He was sitting with a stupid look on his face as he looked over to Zelda. He stared at her and waved. She didn't wave back. She gave him a stern look and turned back to the chalkboard, only to see Horwell staring at her.

"Is something the matter?" He asked, and Zelda just gritted her teeth and shook her head. "Alright, then let's continue!" He said happily and turned back to his lesson.

"How could he of saw me turn around but not see the spit wad?!" Zelda hissed quietly at Link. He just shrugged. Zelda groaned and continued listening to Horwell speak.

But Groose was persistent. He kicked the back of Link's bench every time Horwell turned his back to them. Zelda was going through her nerves quickly.

But then, Groose started with the spit wads again. And this time he did it to Fledge too.

That got on her last nerve. It bugged her when Groose picked on anybody, but it bugged her the most when he picked on poor, innocent Fledge.

Once Horwell turned his back again, Zelda whirled around to look at Groose. "I would like to speak to you at the end of class." She hissed through her teeth. Groose just stared at her with a look of admiration on his face, but Zelda didn't wait for him to reply as she turned back around, to not get caught again by Horwell.

But she did hear Groose chuckle and mumble something about 'pretty'. She just sighed. He's hopeless.

… … … …

The clock struck to Eleven o'clock and all the students began to gather their things. "See you guys tomorrow!" Horwell said as he rushed out of the classroom to get his lunch before the students did. He had a meeting to get to.

Zelda stacked all her notes into a neat pile on top of her books as she waited for everyone to clear out. Fledge and Link said bye to her and they were the first ones out, followed by Karane and Pipit. She still didn't turn to Groose. She was waiting for two more people to leave.

But once she finally saw Strich and Cawlin walk out of the room, Zelda turned fiercely to Groose. "What is up with you picking on everyone?!" She exclaimed and he seemed to be surprised by her sudden outburst. "It seems like every hour you have to be making fun of Link, or hurting Fledge!" He opened his mouth but Zelda cut him off. "Everyone is sick and tired of it!"

She stood up from her seat to better look Groose in the eyes, since she was so much shorter than him. "And you even pick on Cawlin and Strich what kind of friend are you!" She saw him staring at her lips as she spoke and a blush on his cheeks. It's impossible to talk to him! He's too dumb! He won't stop staring at my mouth, he's probably not even registering what I'm saying! Her frown turned into and angry scowl. "Why can't you leave them alone for once?" She lowered her voice and sighed with a frustrated tone, and Groose looked concerned and actually listened to what she said, for once.

"Zelda," Groose said, "I'll make a deal with you."

Oh Hylia, what could it be? She mentally groaned. "What?" She demanded.

"If you kiss me once, on the lips, I will leave them alone for three months." He smiled at her.

No! She mentally shrieked, but three months.. that would be nice and it would benefit Fledge and Link too... She frowned as she thought it over. It's actually not even a bad deal. Just a quick peck. Anyways, I've already had my first kiss... Memories flashed to when she was little girl and had a crush on Parrow, who was a few years her senior. She remembered she rushed up to him and kissed him right then and there. He jumped away from her and stuck out his tongue, and said something about cooties and ran away. She wished that was her first kiss but, a kiss is a kiss.

"Fine," She sighed and Groose seemed ecstatic. He leaned forwards and shut his eyes, puckering out his lips.

Zelda sighed and closed her eyes, leaning forwards and she pecked his mouth with hers. She kept her lips pressed to his for a moment before she pulled away and saw that Groose had not opened his eyes yet, but his mouth was in a dumb smile and his cheeks where pink. Zelda just shook her head and waited until he opened his eyes.

"You better leave them alone now, you hear?" She said sternly, before she turned to grab her things into her arms and began to walk out of the classroom.

"Yeah..." Groose said dumbly as he reached up and touched his lips with his fingers.

I knew Groose's was going to be one of the hardest ones to write because I cannot see Zelda liking him that much, and I really wanted to include his jerky attitude. So I hope you weren't expecting something super duper romanticky for this. Thanks for reading, and please review!
