Chapter 1

Link woke up reluctantly, looking tiredly at his blaring alarm clock. 6:45. Time for his first day of school at Hyrule High, and as much as he despised going, he hated being late even more. It was his junior year, and he had to maintain his reputation as the one kid everybody loves. Geeks, jocks, cheerleaders, and everyone in between, they all adored him. He rolled out of bed lazily and slammed his alarm off, groggily found an outfit- simple worn jeans, a tight black t-shirt, and a studded leather belt. He quickly showered and dressed, and went downstairs to join his uncle Alfon for breakfast, his little sister Aryll still sleeping soundly upstairs

"Mornin' Link! Grab yourself a bite," Alfon greeted him,"I made cereal. Sorry boy, but Farore knows I can't cook. You excited for your first day?" Link simply grunted sleepily and filled a bowl with Lucky Charms and milk.

"It seems summer break gets shorter and shorter every year. I swear it was just last week Kafei and I were hightailing home after hearing Rauru's grumpy Rupee Management lectures for the last time." Link looked fondly back to last year, hoping to see all his friends there. He hadn't seen them all summer, and he missed them a lot. However, he did not miss them all putting their girlfriends before him. As likable, good-looking, and charming as he was, he had never had any relationship more intimate than three dates with any girl. Not that they didn't like him- quite the contrary, in fact- he just had no vested interest in them romantically. It never bothered him, but his friends were always giving him grief about being alone forever. He had known most of his friends since grade school, but made many more his sophomore year.

"Don't sweat it my boy, just two more years then you get to move on, maybe finally talk to that crush of yours, eh? What's her name? Something Hykarin?" Alfon winked at him and playfully ruffled his hair. Link replied with a sneer and mumbled, "It's Zelda. And she isn't a crush, she just moved here last year." He quickly wolfed down his cereal, Alfon innocently raising his hands, as Link noticed the time. 7:05. Dammit! He thought, I gotta pick up Sheik! He threw on his leather jacket, rinsed out his bowl, grabbing his keys, phone, iPod, notebook, and pocket knife, said goodbye to his uncle and quickly reminding him about Aryll's "Parent Day" at Termina Middle School, and flew out the door.

Link pulled up into Sheik's driveway three minutes later, and although he had plenty of time, he felt incredibly rushed. As soon as Link stopped the car, Sheik emerged from the front door of his house, yelling something muffled back to his mother as he closed the door. He got in shotgun and they took off for the school. Link liked to park around back, because even though he wouldn't admit it, he knew he had a higher chance of running into Zelda in her usual hangout with her friends. He hoped they had a few classes together, but he knew that if they did, her creepy ex boyfriend Ghirahim would probably be there too. Link didn't known the ins and outs of their breakup, but Ghirahim had always been a pain in Link's ass, one of the few people he didn't get along with. The only one worse was Ganondorf, who had tormented Link endlessly for years. His tongue was freakishly long and his hair was completely white, and he would always sneak up behind people and flick his tongue in their ear. Link wondered what would ever bring a girl as amazing as Zelda to his level, but it didn't concern him now.

They pulled up into a spot and got out of the car. There was always at least one spot open for Link back there. Even though he was only a junior, everyone still respected him. They headed toward the daunting towers of the school, and met up with Kafei, his girlfriend Anju, Mido, and his girlfriend Saria, and talked about their breaks for a few minutes. They had all scheduled their classes to match some together, so when the bell rang they all went to their first class, Hylian History, where Shad waited for them. There were several teachers in the school that were friendly enough to go by their first names, including Shad. He was fairly young for a teacher, in his mid to late twenties, wore round glasses, and carried a book with him everywhere. They all took their seats, and with no assigned seating chart from Shad, Mido sat next to Saria and behind Kafei, who was next to Anju. Link and Sheik claimed their expected place in the back of the room, skipping a row between them and Mido. As the room filled with tired new juniors, Link noticed some familiar faces- Midna, a Twili, Ruto and Ralis, the Zora twins, Aveil, and the bitch of the bunch, Ganondorf- and severalunfamiliar ones as well. Luckily, no Ghirahim, but that could be a bad sign. Link was disappointed when the tardy bell rang and there was no sign of Zelda.

Shad pretended to begin the typical Get-To-Know-You activities, chuckled to himself as the class groaned, then began explaining the class content, grading scale, rules and expectations, and all of the usual first day rituals. He was stopped in the middle of his explanation when the door to his classroom opened quickly, and Principle Gaepora entered, a girl with golden hair at his heels. Link practically beamed when he noticed Zelda's presence, and even more so when the only open seat was in front of him. Gaepora and Shad quickly exchanged words, then the principle left. "Welcome to my class, Ms. Hykarin, please take a seat." Shad smiled warmly at Zelda. She quickly did so, her violet eyes quickly glancing into Link's soft blue ones when she noticed him staring. He quickly looked away, and she smirked slightly, taking the seat in front of Link, next to her friend Midna. Her brisk walk sent a whiff of her perfume into Link's nostrils, and it was all he could do to keep himself from grinning like a moron. Sheik softly whistled, and whispered, "Smooooth." Link sharply glared at him, which turned into a grin. Go for it! Sheik mouthed to him silently, Shad resuming his droning. Duh! Link mouthed back, with a mock-stupid look. He knew that Shad would have them keep these seats both terms. This is gonna be the best year ever!
