Our teacher is a goddess! I would've never known if I hadn't asked Pit about her earlier. Right now we have Study Hall, a period that means break time to me, and Peach is nowhere to be found. As I gather my books and walk out the classroom, I am so lost in thought that I barely notice when I stumble into Link and drop a few of my books.
"Oops...sorry" I said, as I bent down to pick them up, a little embarrassed that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.
"It's fine..." he replied bending down, picking up a few, then handing them to me. "Actually I was kinda...looking for you..."
I stood up and slightly smoothed my dress a little with one hand once all my books were back in my hands.
"Oh...why were you looking for me" I asked, not knowing what his answer might be made me kinda uncertain about it.
"Oh...well I just wanted to talk to you about something..."
Just as he finished speaking Dean Dedede came over and dramatically slammed his giant hammer on the floor.
"What are you two doing in the hallway" he asked very loudly. "Don't you guys have Study Hall your highness?"
Well at least he has manners while addressing royalty, unlike some people I know...
"Well...I am just dropping off my books in my dorm since they seem to get heavier after every period..."
"Well do you have a pass" he asked impatiently.
"Um...well" I begin, but then get an idea. "Omg, Dean Dedede are those guys actually fighting over there."
"Fighting? Who? Where..." he asked turning around quickly and giving me enough time to turn into Sheik, one of my many disguises.
He gave up on looking for the fighting pair and turned back to us, seeming very upset for being tricked, but when he saw Sheik (...well me...) he immediately became confused.
"What are you doing out of class" he asked me seeming a little annoyed.
"Oh well...I was sent to find Link because he forgot his pass on one of the tables in the library."
"Do you have a pass?"
"No...I don't have a pass because Rosalina said to just go find him really quickly because she was busy with something...I think she was organizing books again."
"Rosalina's always organizing those books of hers" he replied. He nodded and starts to walk away but then stops and turns back to us, making me slightly believe that he doesn't buy my story...
"Have you seen Princess Zelda" he asked, looking at me a little suspiciously.
I let out a sigh of relief, dismissing the thoughts of all the flaws in my story and being caught.
"Um...no I haven't seen her lately" I quickly lied.
"Oh ok, thanks" he said walking away, seeming to definitely buy my story.
As soon as he was out of ear shot and my sight I quickly turned back into my princess self then turned back to Link.
"Thanks for covering for me there" he said.
"Oh...no problem" I replied. "Oh yea...if you still want to talk to me about whatever it was, we should go to my dorm because I definitely know Dedede can't go up there..."
He nods and follows me upstairs to the dorms. As I approach the door to Peach and my room I find the door unlocked (which is strange because we usually lock it behind us...).
I walk in and sit on my bed while Link sits in front of me on Peach's bed.
"Ok...so what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Um...well I was kinda thinking about what I said the first time Ganondorf said...that you were my girlfriend and what I said when he left..."
"Oh..."
"Yea...I really don't know why I said that...it was an accident and it just came out. I don't know why though."
"Did you mean it though?"
"I don't know...maybe I did but I'm not sure if I do...I mean did or not...I think it may take a while for me to be sure."
"Oh."
After my reply I could've sworn I heard a sigh...but it wasn't Link and I'm pretty sure that it wasn't me. I don't think Link heard it so I guess I'm just hearing things or something.
At first it seemed to me like Link was just some random person at school who just decided to talk to me because I was new or something, but seeing him there all conflicted and everything over something he accidentally said, I start to notice that he's actually kinda cute.
WAIT...WHAT...OMG DID I SERIOUSLY JUST THINK THAT? WAS THAT EVEN ONE OF MY THOUGHTS OR ARE THERE LITTLE VOICES IN MY HEAD SAYING THAT FOR ME...WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MEEEEEEEE...WHY DID THAT THOUGHT JUST SUDDENLY POP INTO MY HEAD? DO I ACTUALLY THINK THAT HE'S CUTE??? (...well I guess he kinda is but...) UGH...WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ME. WHY AM I SO CONFUSED AND CONFLICTED...
Ok...I need to calm down maybe I'm overreacting or something...there's no need to panic...right?
Link must've noticed my conflicted and distressed facial expressions or something because when I looked up he was staring at me questioningly, as if trying to read my mind or something...(...I definitely hope he can't because if he could...)
"What" I quickly asked, trying to shake away my previous thoughts.
He seemed like he was waking up from a daze as he suddenly came back to reality.
"Oh...nothing" he replied looking kinda sheepish.
"Um...ok..."
Just as I got those words out we heard a big cracking sound as the closet door broke and Peach came tumbling out.
"Um Peach..." I said kinda sounding a little distressed. "What were you doing in the closet? Especially since it's kinda creepy...and also rude...to listen to other people's conversations...from in a closet."
"Oh..." Peach began, laughing sheepishly. "Well the closet door was...um...stuck...yea...it was stuck and I couldn't get out of the closet...so I just decided to stay there until someone decided to come and look for me...and...um...so yea that's how I got in the closet."
After the big story that I had to tell Dedede I can already tell that Peach is lying but I'm just gonna play along with her story for a while and hopefully she just gives herself up.
"Ok...you could've banged on the door or something and tried to let us know you were in there so we could've let you out. Also Peach...I'm pretty sure that the closet door is...er was...fine because we just opened it this morning when we were getting ready for school and there's no lock on the door so there's no logical way you could've gotten stuck in there."
When she sighed I knew she was about to tell the truth because she had already lied herself into a corner and there was no way out.
"Alright, alright...I was hiding from Dedede because I don't really wanna go to Study Hall, or any other class, so I thought if I just hid in the closet the no one would find me and I wouldn't have had to go to any other classes today."
Well that kinda makes sense...especially since she tried to get out of ELA earlier...but I don't really understand why'd she eavesdrop on our conversation...I mean what would she actually learn from it?
"Um...if you guys want I can fix your door for you since it's broken" Link said.
Oh shoot...I forgot he was still here...
"No...it's fine. Maybe if it stays broken someone can't hide like a creep in the closet" I replied laughing.
"Yea I guess it was pretty creepy hiding in the closet" Peach said, also laughing.
"Oh ok then...so I guess I'll see you guys later because I should really be getting back to class" he said before walking to the door.
"Ok. Bye..." I replied waving.
"Bye." Peach echoed.
