Link's POV
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *click*
I shut my alarm off,then turned on the other side of the bed.I don't really want to go to school,knowing what will happen to me.But nope,school said "GET YOUR LAZY BUM OUT OF THERE!!",So I did what I was told.
I got out of bed,went downstairs to prepare my breakfast which consisted of bacon and eggs.As usual,I always woke up very early,6:00 am.Lessons starts in 8:00 so that will save me an hour to go to the library and study in advance.As soon as I'm done with my meal,I went to the bathroom to shower,got dressed in a light blue t-shirt,dark blue jeans,and my black shoes which has a unique style. (A/N: The Mythical Shoes XD )
I'm living by myself if some of you are wondering,I just moved out not long ago,telling my parents I can live by myself,so they agreed.
Checking myself if I looked decent enough,I grabbed my black-framed glasses and wore them,then grabbed my bag,house keys,and phone as I head out.
As I walked to the bus stop,I heard a rollerskate scraping the concrete and a female voice shouting "LOOK OUT!" to me. As soon as I turned around,I was met by a blur of dark blue and before I know it,both of us are on the ground.I groaned in pain,I landed quite hard on the concrete.
"Shimatta! (Oh no!),I'm so,sooo sorry,Link! " I heard her say.I got up and tried to search for my glasses but my face met a hand,which is holding my glasses.I gladly took it and stood up,grabbing my bag and patting the invisible dirt that was on my clothes.I looked to where the voice came from and noticed that it was my last year classmate and friend,Lei.
"It's okay,Lei. No pressure! What are you doing that make you lose sight of where you going?" I asked her curiously as she cleaned her red-framed glasses and putting it back on her face.
"Oh! I was reading something~!" she said happily.
"Let me guess,another foreign language that you want to learn? You seriously don't get tired of them,huh? " I asked,wondering what's interesting about learning a new language.
You see,Lei is a Filipino,that's why she was teased mostly because of her looks.But once she speaks English,you can't even tell she's a Filipino because of her North Carolinian accent.She moved here when she was 10,and she became my first friend.
She's very interested in learning foreign languages,almost even speaking it without her noticing.A lot of people bullied her but she doesn't care,telling me that they're just jealous because she has a gift.I really envy her because no matter how many people brought her down,she always sees the bright side of things,which is the personality I don't have in me.
"Yup~! I'm learning Swedish this time~! Although,all I know is the curse words because of the Swedish gamer I watched in Youtube" she blushed out of embarrassment.
As we talked,we were walking (well,skating in Lei's case) towards the bus stop that I have to take.Lei does not take bus rides because of her rollerblades already attached to her rubber shoes,which is quite hard to see because it was hidden beneath the sole.It was quite awesome.
"This is where you wait for the bus,right? Well,I guess I'll see ya at school then~! Ba-Bye~!" she waved goodbye and skate her way to school.
"Be careful on you way!! " I shouted to her as I waved back.The bus that was heading near the school arrived and I took it.As I took my usual seat,which is beside the window,my only thought was 'I wonder what will my first day be?'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Before class*
As I opened the door to the library,I head to the table where Lei sat.As usual,she was reading the Swedish dictionary with her light blue headphones on,oblivious that I was right beside her. I sat next to Lei,grabbed the book out of my bag and read it,waiting for 7:30 to come.
As I read,Lei suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.I looked at her,her headphones now hanging on her neck.
"What's wrong,Lei?" I asked curiously as I set my book down,not even bothering to put a bookmark on it.
"Do you think we have classes together like last time? Because I'm starting to feel like we don't this semester.I think we'll be meeting each other in one class only,I just feel it." she told me,a worried look on her face.
That face was always reserved for me because she knew that when I'm alone,the jocks would bully me,like secretly throwing paper at me,calling me names,embarrassing me etc. The jocks are scared of her because she studies mixed martial arts.Last time I was bullied,she punched the guy in the face and he was knocked out for an hour,she's really a strong one.
"Don't worry about me,Lei.Look,I appreciate you protecting me from them but please know that I am a man,I should be protecting you,not the other way around! Heck,I'm the oldest out of us two! " I chuckled.That was true,out of the two,she is the one who's protecting me from them.
She was supposed to be my little sister but instead she became my bodyguard which is quite cliche.I'm 17 while she's 15 which makes me the oldest.Despite our ages,both of us act so childish sometimes!
"If you say so.but please be careful,alright nii-chan? (Big Brother)" she said,holding my shoulder.I held her hand and squeezed it a bit,reassuring her that I'll be fine.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*School Hallways,before class starts*
As Lei and I head to our respective lockers,thankfully not a single jock is around, I opened my locker,and was surprised to see a red paper fly out of it.Lei noticed the note flying out since her locker is besides mine.I picked the note up and looked at it 'No name,I wonder who I got it from?' I thought as I saw a message written on the note,I started reading it:
'Face the day with a big smile,because I want to see your gorgeous smile to make it through the day.No matter what happens,I'll turn your frown upside down.So please smile for me,beautiful :)
Have a Mythical first day! :D '
I blushed as I read the note.It doesn't have a name on it so I don't know who it came from.As I keep on wondering who it was,I didn't notice Lei standing beside me until she snatched the note from me and started reading it.
"Aww~!! Whoever this is he or she is really dedicated to make you smile! But judging from its handwriting,I'm sure it's a guy.Oh!! I wonder who it is!? " she squealed as she started jumping up and down.
"I don't know,Lei.What if this is a prank? What if the jocks planned this?"I said as I snatched the note back into my hands and kept it on my bag,closing the locker as I did so.
"One,if it is a prank and if it is one of the jocks,they wouldn't do this because they bully you personally and I'm pretty sure they can't make something as sweet as this! Two,they don't know that you are gay,and three,You wouldn't keep it in your bag if you thought of it as a prank" she whispered the second and last part as to not be heard by the others.
I ignored the last part but the second part I didn't. Yup,she's right,I'm gay ever since 5th grade.She is the only one who knows about it.But judging from the note,I guess she's not the only one.
"I knew you would say that,but you were totally wrong.I think he wrote you this because he was scared that you might freak out.He didn't know that you were gay so he's scared to face you,so the only way to communicate his feelings to you is through that note that he gave you! Smart move~!" she said thoughtfully as she pushed her glasses up by the side,signalizing that she is thinking.
"Wait,I was saying that out loud!? " I said,shocked that I said my thoughts out loud.I should really stop that habit of mine!
"Yup~! It was inaudible but I still heard it! Anyways,we'll talk about that note later! For now,we should head to our rooms and see our schedule!! Let's go~! "
she said,grabbing my wrist and dragged me to our room.As I tried to keep up with her,my head is starting to wonder who is the secret admirer.
A/N: Wow,long chappie! XD I guess I got carried away! XD Anyways,Lei is an OC of mine.I used my nickname for the character and she was based off of me. The foreign words that I used here is Japanese BTW,just in case some of you are wondering~! ^_^ Hope ya like it~!
