Chapter 8: Reunion

The next day

Poor Link only got 4 hours of sleep last night all because he was too busy thinking about Zelda. He got up, ate, got dressed, and then walked to school. He walked to his 1st hour class and sat down in his seat. He plopped his head on his desk. He started to doze off but…
"Um, hi."
"Takepofunew…"
"Um, what?"
He lifted his head, "Thank you." He lays his head back down.
"Uh, for what?"
"Frainkamoop…"
"What?"
He lifted his head back up, "For waking me up."
"Oh…"
"Sorry; I only got 4 hours of sleep last night so I… yawn… sorry, that was real rude."
She smiled, "It's ok; hmm, I think I know how to get you up."
"How?"
"Come with me."
"But class will start soon."
"Yeah, in like 12 minutes or so; now let's go."
"Uh, ok."

She started to drag him somewhere… She buys a soda and sticks it out for Link.
"Here"
"Mountain Dew?"
"Yeah, I know it sounds silly but…."
"Well, in never had soda before…"
"What? Why?"
"I don't want to gain any weight or anything."
"Ok, well it's just this once, ok?"
"Yeah, yeah…" He drinks the soda without stopping while Zelda's eyes widened.
"Whoa…"
"Wow, that's some good stuff; thank you so much."
"Your welcome; now let's go back to class."
"Ok."

Later, lunch time
"So Link, are you going to sit with my friends and I?"
"I said I would but…."
"If you don't want to I understand…"
"No, I'll sit with you… might as well get this over with..."
"Ok, oh by the way, I need to ask you something private after school, ok?"
"Uh, ok…" 'Huh, I wonder what she's going to ask me. Is she going to ask me out? No, we barely know each other but still… I guess I'll find out later. It probably has nothing to do with me… yeah…"

In the cafeteria
They get their food then they head towards Zelda's table. "Hi guys, this is the new transfer student, Link."
"…Hi…"
Mido looked up at Link, "Link Foster?"
Saria asks, "Do you know him?"
Mido looked away and whispers to himself, "Hmph! I wish I didn't…"
"What was that?"
"I, um…" he looks back at Link with a fake smile, "it's good to see you again, Link…"
Link and Zelda sat down; while Link was sitting Mido and Link were giving each other an 'I hate you' look.

"So Link, how's it been?"
"Not much; what about you?"
"Oh everything's fine… friend…"
"Ha-ha, friend; who said I was your friend?"
"Ha-ha, always the kidder…"
Zelda thinks, 'I have a very bad feeling about this…'
"So, how long have you and Saria been going out?"
"About 2 years… so have you found a girl yet?"
"…No…"
"Is that so? Well, have you made any friends?"
"….." 'I knew he would do this to me.'
"Thought so, who would want to be your friend? I mean, you're too good for everyone else."
'Oh please'
"Aw, that's so sweet."
"Yeah right…"
"Hey, if she thinks it's sweet then it's sweet."
Saria giggles while Link rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

Later, lunch was finally over, and Link was the last one out. He walked out the cafeteria's doors until someone pulled on the back of his shirt and slammed him against a locker; luckily no one was around, well not for Link…

He opened his eyes to see Mido, who pushed him against a locker… still.
"Listen, you probably understand why I was so nice to you…"
"…Yeah?"
"Well just to let you know, I still think you're a freak so don't think we can be friends."
"Why would that cross my mind?"
"Shut up!"
"Ha, if only Saria knew who you truly are."
He slammed him against the locker harder. "Shut up! I don't want you to say her name; you make me sick and I really hate you."
"Well, we have one thing in common 'cause I hate you too…"
"So," he finally lets go of him, "now we can just rewind all this and I can start over by making your life miserable."
"Oh darn, I thought we could be friends again."
"Ha, yeah right."
"Besides, how can you 'make my life miserable' when you're always with Saria?"
"You know, I'm not always with Saria… but anyways, it was nice talking to you." He punches Link's arm and leaves.
"…..Whatever…"

Later that day, after school, at Link's locker

'I hate this stupid fucking day; whoa Link, watch what you say…'
"Um, hi."
'She always know how to cheer me up' he turned around with a smile to face her, "Um hi to you too."
"Ha-ha. Um, can we talk?"
"Uh, sure."
"Ok; follow me."

Somewhere private, now they were all alone. "Ok; what do you want to ask me?"
"It's about… Saria and Mido…"
"What about them?"
"I'm worried…"
"Why?"
"Well, after you told me about Mido and the way he acted at lunch I'm just… I'm worried about Saria…"
"Oh… well I wouldn't worry too much on the matter…"
"But Link… what should I do?"
"Sigh; don't ask me, I'll just say something stupid…"
"What is it?"
"Well, I would shoot Mido and find Saria another, better guy."
"Oh, I don't think that's such a good idea."
"Sigh, Zelda if they've been going out for 2 years and nothing bad has happened, then it'll be fine."
"But…."
"Stop worrying… I know he cares about her."
"How do you know?"
"Well, after lunch, he pushed me against a locker and started talking about how much he cares about Saria and how I'm such a freak; you know, the usual." She started to cry, "Sigh, Zelda; why are you crying?"
"I can't believe it…"
"Can't believe what?"
"I thought Mido was a nice guy… but now…"
"Zelda… forget about me."
"What? Why would I forget about you?"
"I meant forget what he did to me."
"But…"
"Zelda… just keep thinking he's a nice guy… after all he is nice to everyone but me… so quit worrying…"
"But, you're my friend…"
"…." Silence…

"Ok…. So how was your weekend?"
"…It was ok; I had worse…"
"What did you do?"
"Well, Fado, my boss…"
"You have a job?"
"Yeah, I'm a goat herder… sigh, I was late on Friday so Fado made me work harder than hell."
"Oh dear…"
"I know! Ok, since I have school I can only go to Ordon on weekends so I can do my job."
"Cool."
"Yeah, I also go visit sensei Cozen…"
"Sensei?"
"Yeah, oh, I forgot to tell you; I'm a swordsman and my dream is to become the world's greatest swordsman."
"Wow, that's some dream…"
"Hey; maybe you could come over sometime and watch me."
"Ok, but first do you want to tell my parents the truth about, you know, your parents?"
"Sure, when would be a good time?"
"Well, I was planning to invite you over Friday but that's out of the question…"
"Uh… what about tomorrow?"
"Ok, but I need my parents' permission first, ok?"
"Ok."
"Well, I guess I should go."
"…Yeah, me too… um, Zelda?"
"Yes?"
"Um," he started to blush, "I'm sorry about that…kiss…"
"Oh," she blushes, "It-it's ok."
"Um, yeah… bye."
"Bye." He leaves.

The next day, at school
Link was standing at his locker thinking when all of a sudden someone slams his locker shut.
"Hello, old pal."
"What do you want?"
"I don't know, I just wanted to talk to the freak of the school."
Link mumbles, "I'm not a freak…"
"Of course you are; you're just filled up with lies. So, how much stuff have you lied about?"

"Thought so, you're such a fre… yeah good times, right buddy?"
"Huh?" Link turns around to see where Mido was looking at and he rolls his eyes.
"Hey Saria."
"Hi Mido; hello Link."
"Hi."
"So, were you guys talking about your past?"
"Oh yeah; such good times, right Link?"
"Yeah… the best…"
"Well, I'm glad you got to talk to your old friend again."
"Yeah… ha-ha."
"Ok, let's go."
"Ok." Before Mido passed Link he ran into his shoulder and pushed him.
'Jerk.'
