*Sent* / Zelink Modern AU Fanfiction

Forget It

I rush into my English class to find hardly anyone in there, well I guess that's because the bell hasn't even rang yet. I sit down in my seat and check the time on my phone, how is it only 8:23... school starts in 7 minutes. So I'll just sit here for 7 minutes. Suddenly, Impa comes rushing in and sits down in Link's spot. 

"What was that about? You just left us." Impa says in confusion. 

"Oh, nothing." I brush her off. I really don't want to talk about this here... especially when Link could walk in at anytime.  

"Zelda, don't act like there is nothing wrong. I know when you're upset... please, just tell me." She sounds like Link when I told him I didn't want to kiss him yesterday... he looked so hurt.

"I'll tell you later, ok." I say hoping she will leave me alone.

"Zelda, just tell me... please."  she pleads.

"Not right now, Impa." 

"Zelda-" Impa starts.

"Impa, I don't want to talk about it right now! Ok!" I say a little too loud. She looks taken aback by my response. I have never yelled at her like that... ever. Why am I so angry with people... I mean these past two days I've have been angry with... Ganon, Link, Father, and Impa. Two of these people I love... but I treated them like an enemy... especially my Father. I should have talked to him this morning... I should have never yelled at him like that last night, especially not with Link present. And Link... he tried to kiss me, but I pushed him away. Even so, he still cared for me at the repair shop... he drove me home... he said I was pretty. No one has ever told me that I looked pretty before, besides Impa and Purah. No boy has ever told me that I looked pretty... except for Link. 

"Um... excuse me." I hear Link say, interrupting my thoughts. "Impa, may I have my seat, please." Link says politely.

"Yeah... Go ahead." Impa says as she gets up. She doesn't look back at me... and when she gets to her seat, she doesn't even mouth "you're welcome" to me, she just looks at her phone... completely ignoring my gaze. Why did I have to yell at her... now she thinks I'm mad at her! I could never be mad at her! I love Impa and would never try to do anything to hurt her. 

"You good?" Link asks... again interrupting my thoughts.

"Huh... oh, yeah... I'm fine." I say as I fake a little smile.

"You don't seem fine..." He says frowning a little bit. Why does everyone think that I'm upset! I just don't really want to talk about... certain things... right now. 

"I'm ok... just a little tired." I say hoping that he will stop talking to me. He's really sweet... but I don't want my Father to get suspicious. If Father finds out I'm talking to the boy that got thrown out of his house, he will kill not only me, but Link too. 

"Yeah... me too. I didn't sleep too well in your car." He says with a little laugh, but I don't laugh with him. I just stare at my hands on my desk. "Ok... now I know your not ok. What is wrong?" He asks sweetly.

"Nothing I'm fine... I'm just don't really want to talk right now." I say as I start to play with my braid. 

"Zelda, you can always talk to me, you know that right?" He says sweetly.

"Yes I know... and if I need to talk to you, I will." I say, hoping it convinces him. He looks a little hurt when I say this... I don't want to hurt him, but I really don't want to talk to him right now.

The period passes by fairly quickly... all we did was read chapter one in our text book called "The Beginning of Your English Composition Journey." It wasn't anything new though... it was pretty much everything we learned last year, and I'm fairly familiar with writing... but the only thing that bothered me was Link. Every few seconds he would glance at me... and I can't tell what he's thinking! His face was so blank when he looked at me.
