High-School Problems (Smash Bros Fanfic)

Chapter 5- Zelda's POV

I punched my pillow over and over again, tears streaming down my cheeks. "That SON OF A BI-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't start cursing, Zelda!" Peach patted my back.

"That idiot deserves to die. I want to KILL HIM!" I tossed my ripped up pillow across the dorm room. "He needs to rot in hell. I WILL MAKE SURE HE DOES!"

"Stop! Don't insult him! The poor guy probably didn't mean it like that!" Peach was leaning down to pick my pillow up when I grabbed it and started punching it again.

"POOR GUY?! Link is no poor guy. He used me! I bet you that's what he wanted. To make him popular or something. To make him be the 'Legend' and stay the 'Legend'. Pshh, Legend. AT LEAST GANONDORF DIDN'T FREAKING SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

Peach snatched the pillow out of my hands and forced me into a chair. "Ganondorf has said worse. Don't take this seriously! Link probably didn't mean what he said. He's your best friend, Zelda."

"Best friend my butt! What kind of best friend says something like that?!"

Let me back up a bit, to tell you what happened.

***A while earlier...***

Link looked nervous. Like he was going to tell me something serious, maybe something he even didn't want to say.

"Zelda."

"Uh....yeah?"

"You..."

He wasn't looking at me. It was like somebody was behind me, ordering him of what to say. But Link's not the kind to listen to somebody's orders.

"You're dense. Really dense." He said it like it was the truth. Like he meant it.

I stood there.

Dense is no insult. But with the tone he used it in, it was CLEARLY an insult. Link never insulted me before.

"Dense? What do you mean by dense?"

"You're too stupid to figure out something. I'd have to tell you straight up. Even if there's something I don't want to tell you but want you to know, I have to tell you literally because you have no idea what I'm trying to refer to."

"What's wrong with that?" I replied, slightly offended. "It makes you tell the truth."

"The truth can also be told indirectly. But you need me to tell you everything literally. Which is why I can't use similes or metaphors in front of you. And why you are the worst in any inferring thing. It's not like I ever spoke another language. But you don't seem to understand any actions or indirect sayings that I happen to use."

My mind blanked out the second he said the four words I never wanted to hear.

You are the worst.

Am I really?

People called me the worst when I was younger.

The worst princess. The worst student. The worst classmate.

The worst friend.

I thought Link, of all people, the one who told everyone to stop calling me the worst, would never do such a thing.

But right here, right now, right in front of my face, he said that I am the worst.

"Link." I tried to sound calm, but for some weird reason my voice was shaking. "What did you say?"

He looked at me with the 'Oh-shoot-I-am-doomed' face and then replied, "you're dense...?"

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY!?" Okay, it wasn't supposed to come out like that. Now he looked just plain scared.

"I didn't mean to-"

"Shut up. If you didn't mean to, you wouldn't have said it. BECAUSE I'M SO DENSE THAT YOU SAY WHAT YOUACTUALLY MEAN. SO IF YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING, YOU WOULD TELL ME LITERALLY,RIGHT? BECAUSE I'M TOO DENSE?!"

He buried his face in his hands and muttered, "Now you've just screwed it up..."

"Oh. I'VE screwed it up. Because I'm the worst, right?"

"I was talking to myself, Zel-"

"Don't you DARE say my name, you son of a-"

"I told you I was-"

"Don't dare talk to me either. EVER. If you do, you will be destroyed. I will destroy you. Nobody will stop me."

He looked at me with a sadness the made my heart ache. But I pushed that away. He just insulted me. He doesn't deserve sympathy.

I eyed him with the most hatred I could muster.

"From now on, Link," I said, making fists with my hands, "we aren't best friends."
