I licked my lips and blood fell from them, "Zelda... don't look..." My eyes shot opened to an alarm. I looked over in my bed watching the flickering lights of the clock showing six o'clock. ---Time for school... As I murmured to myself I turned my head and saw Zelda snuggling against me. ---Her cute smile when she sleeps, I love her so much... I murmured to myself again. I placed my hand on her cheek. Her eyes opened softly, "I-is it morning? I guess time for school?" She yawned. She lifted up from the bed. Her blonde hair flowed down her back like a soft ocean. "Let's go, Link." I nodded. After a few minutes we took our shower and got dressed. I wore Blue Jeans and a white T-shirt, Zelda wore a red skirt with leggings and a T-shirt. We was getting ready in the bathroom, she was brushing her hair and I was putting on some deodorant. "Link, how are you this morning?" she said. I placed the deodorant down and picked up the comb, "Good, I guess. What's with the question?" I looked over at her and she shrugged. "I'm just concerned, I don't want you to get hurt, that's all..." Then I sighed and began combing. ---She's always worried about me, normal I guess, but sometimes it's like she doesn't want to leave my side even to go to the bathroom... I thought.

After we got done we walked out the front door and locked it, then began walking down the road towards our school. The sun was being blocked by dark rain clouds. It seemed that it might rain, but the weather could hold out. Zelda sighed, "It's always gloomy... I know it's rough for you when it rains, but don't worry about it," she said turning at me smiling. I sighed, "I know I hate the rain, it's stupid..." Zelda grabbed my hand and squeezed it softly while we walked. "We're almost there, please be happy, we're in the same classes and this is our final year as well. We reached the school within a few minutes. We walked across the street reaching school grounds. We watched students enter. She said, "The new students are coming in today, I wonder if they're nice?" I shrugged, "I don't know, I've got a odd feeling about this..." Zelda squeezed my hand a little harder, "You always say that when new students come, I mean, I know we had bad students, yet maybe something good will happen." I shrugged, "I hope so..." I stopped when I saw a new student, Zelda noticed I stopped. "What's wrong?" she said, I shook my head slightly. "It's nothing, but if I wasn't mistaken could that be a new student?" I said pointing. Zelda followed my point and she looked at the new student, "I guess we won't know until we reach our Home-room," she said. I nodded and we walked towards the stairs, up them through the main door and entered the Home-room classroom from main hall on our left.

The classroom was medium size, up to twenty desks in it. It also had lab areas, must've be a science classroom, but that could be thrown out the window. We sat close towards the back and beside each other. The teacher, Mr. Lock-hart, gave us our Senior papers and schedules. After that and a briefing about the school rules and other things, the bell rang after he was finished. We got up and went to our first class, which was English twelve. We entered the classroom, the walls were covered with posters of certain books and literature. We sat where our names were, the teach must've got a note about us and sat us beside each other. We sat and after a few minutes more students entered. After the students came in, the new one that walked in at the front door entered the classroom, head down and walked over to the desiccated spot. Then people began to whisper. Zelda whispered in my ear, "Hey, we should talk to the new students. The one that's sitting alone seems that he or she might need someone to talk to." I nodded slowly, "I guess coming into a new school and area, will make someone nervous. So, let's try," I said. Then the teacher walked in, She walked in a dress filled with bright colors, polka dots covered each side. "Welcome students to the final and new year of 2020. I'm your English teach, Mrs. Haven, it seems we have a lively class today, including a new student as well," she said. She placed her supplies on the desk and began again, "Now class, may you all please stand. We will introduce ourselves so we can greet each other!" No one groaned, but said "Yes ma'am!" We stood up. She called out each name, when mine was called she asked, "What's your name? What are you going to do after school?" she said. "My name is Link. I want to be a writer." I said, everyone clapped and said hello and nice to meet you. Then me it was Zelda, she answered the questions. Then i next it was new student. "Okay, Ms., what's your name and your plan after your final year." She was shy, yet still answered. When she looked up slowly, I noticed her eyes were blacked out. I felt my heart thump hard. ---What the...? I don't want to be mean but seeing that freaks me out... "My name is...Echo Xenos...a-and I don't know...what I want to do...after school..." Every said hello, including us. She nodded slowly. Then we all sat down. After class, Zelda walked towards the new student and began talking, they were acting like friends. I got up after I placed my binder inside my bag. I lifted it and noticed Zelda standing beside me.
