Chapter 2

Directly after the bell rang dismissing them, Mr. Ghirahim quickly called Zelda over to his desk.

Sighing, the Hylian did as she was told, a look of slight confusion plastered on her face.

"Zelda, dear, please do try to pay attention in my class. I need you to understand that in order to move on to the next grade you need to get enough credits for your classes."

"Mr. Ghirahim, I do pay attention, well sometimes, but I can't help it if my mind wanders."

"I understand that Zelda, but, you are a gifted student, darling, I see great potential in you. If only you would take the time to appreciate it. For starters, I think that moving you from that window seat is a first step to helping you realize your potential."

"But Mr. Ghirahim," she cried out in protest.

"But nothing, darling, I need you to at least try to focus in my class, and that seat isn't helping one bit."

"Yes, Mr. Ghirahim," Zelda said, understandingly, turning and heading towards the exit.

"Ah, one more thing, dear."

Zelda turned around to face her pale teacher. "Yes?"

"Please don't use your phone in class, darling. I'd hate to have to take it away and seem like the bad guy."

"What, but I wasn't-"

"Don't deny the fact you were caught, dear, it'll only make it worse. Besides, I for a fact know that no one stares down at their lap and smiles in the middle of class while sneaking glances at the teacher."

"How did you-"

"After being a teacher for a while you pick up stuff. Besides, there isn't a thing that happens in this classroom that I don't know about."

"Alright, Mr. Ghirahim," Zelda said, turning back towards the exit.

"Ah, one more thing, darling. Congratulations, on getting your soulmate to reply. You two will make a nice pair, you'll just have to find them first," the pale teacher said.

"WAIT, YOU KNOW THEM?"

"Ah, I cannot say as to whether I do or don't, is it wrong to have a hypothesis?"

"Mr. Ghirahim-"

"I cannot tell you any more Zelda. Anyways, don't you have a class to be getting to dear?"

After nodding, she turned on her heel one last time and walked towards freedom.

Just as expected, Saria was already waiting outside for her friend from the minute class ended.

The moment Zelda appeared in the late group of students fleeing from Mr. Ghirahim's room, Saria didn't hesitate to grab her and pull her out.

"Uh, what was that about, why'd he make you stay behind like that?"

"He caught me on my phone."

"But, I was using mines too, why didn't he say anything to me?"

"I don't know Saria, sometimes I feel like he personally has it out for me, like, I always get caught doing things but when others do it too he doesn't really say much to them."

"Well, maybe it's because he expects more from you or something."

"I guess..."

"So anyway," she said, speaking more quickly and excitedly. "Tell me EVERYTHING that happened when you found out about them!"

Zelda looked down at her arm.

What is there to tell? All I know about them is they're left-handed or maybe it's just that they're so talented that they could write with both hands. I don't know, there could be tons of left-handed people in this whole country! It's not like I'll just find myself standing next to them randomly...
