Kisses of Death

VII

"Your going to be in the play" I tell Impa and she almost chokes on her food

"What? You signed me up for it! And I thought you were my friend" she says

"I didn't, Urbosa did, she said if you be Tybalt she wont fail you" I say and she sighs

"I suppose I don't want to be kept back another year" she says "who's Tybalt?" She asks

"You literally watch Gnomeo and Juliet how do you not know who Tybalt is?" I ask and she shrugs "he's Juliet's cousin"

"And your Juliet?" She asks and I nod "do I die?" She asks

"Almost everyone dies in Romeo and Juliet" I say and she frowns

"I don't want to die!" She complains

"Tough!" I say as Link wants past and Impa smirks

"Oi you! Come here" she says and Link looks back at her in confusion but he obeys her request

"Whos Romeo?" She asks quickly and I nod my head to him "oh" she says the smile on her face growing as he nears

"Don't do anything stupid" I say but she's obviously going to ignore me, I get up and walk away to the food part of the canteen

"Link right?" She asks sipping her apple juice her voice fading away

"Yeah?" He says cautiously, that was the last I heard of their conversation

I get a bottle of water from the canteen before walking back to them "yeah so stay away from my girl bitch"

"Aren't you dating another girl?" He asks and she nods

"I thought it would be funny to tell you she's my girlfriend cuz she definitely has a thing for you" Impa says and my cheeks go bright red

"Impa!" I say "what are you doing! Why telling him that i have a crush on him?" I say, it's not a lie and he knows it's not

"Ah you heard that through the grapevine did ya?" She asks and Link starts to laugh, his laugh is so beautiful

"What? Is this because I told you that you were Tybalt?" I ask and she shakes her head

"I just want to get you two together" she says and now both of our faces are bright pink

"Well..." Link says rubbing the back of his neck "I still have that question" he says changing the subject

"Not here" I say and he nods with a smile

"I'll pick you up later, we need to practice lines" he says and I nod a small smile appearing on my face,

He was staring across the canteen so I look to wear he was looking and saw he was staring at a blonde girl "I've got to go" he says before running off

"Oh no" I whisper "I think I've kissed a taken man" I say

"You jump to conclusions too much" Impa says and I look at her with confusion "Thats Aryll his sister" she says

"How do you know?" I ask her

"Please, I know everything" she says and I nod

"It's true you do" I say and let out sigh of relief it's not his girlfriend, but what if she doesn't like me?

Wait...why am I thinking about this I cant date him if I wanted to!

"So what will you be doing when you practice these lines and what was that thing about the question?" Impa asks desperate for answers

"I'm not telling you" I say

"Come on I'm your best and only friend!" She says

"First of all ouch and second after the stunt you just pulled your not knowing anything" I say unscrewing my water

"You'll tell me, I know you will" she says with a smirk and I shake my head

"I'll see you later" I say before walking to my next lesson

"You better fill me in on the goss!" She yells as I walk out of the canteen

I walk out of my class and see Link leaning against a wall with a cigarette in his mouth "hey princess" he says standing up properly "you ready?" He asks

"Where are we going?" I asked "I assumed we were just going to practice in the library"

"Way too public" he says with a smirk "we're going to my house" he says

"No way! What if we get caught!" I says

"We wont, my sister wont snitch,"

"What about your parents?" I ask

"They're...not a problem" he says, he paused, what is he hiding?

"Follow me" I say walking through the school building, I'm not going to his house alone

I open a door and enter the room then quickly shutting it when Link enters "we can do it here" I say, looking up at the ceiling, it was the only astronomy room so theres stars on the ceiling

"Can I ask my question now?" He asks standing in front of me,

"Okay" I whisper

"Why cant you be seen with me? Are you embarrassed?" He asks and I shake my head

"Oh Hylia, no, I....my father is strict" I say "he already knows I wasn't with Groose at prom and he said that when he finds who I was with he will talk to them" I whisper "so I cant be seen with you, he knows everything" I say

"Shall we practice?" he asks and I nod

"What scene?" I ask and I see him smirk

"How about the kissing scene" he says but before I get a chance to respond he takes my face in his hands

He gently starts to kiss me but I pull away "after everything I just told you, you still want to kiss me?" I say,

"Your worth whatever punishment your father will give me" he says "but if you don't want this" he starts to say but he doesn't get to finish his sentence

I kiss him fervently and we don't stop for ages but I don't mind, I was enjoying it. "We should probably practice some actual lines" I say and he laughs with a nod

We spent the rest of the time practicing the lines from start to finish but I couldn't help but feel that I'm being watched
