Chapter 15

"Impa, are you sure?" Zelda asked.

"I'm completely sure. You have to finish your studies! We'll be able to take care of Hyrule for the next couple of months until you graduate," Impa reassured. Zelda smiled, and hugged her.

"Thank you, Impa, I'll visit as soon as I can, promise," Zelda said. Impa parted and nodded. Zelda took Sapphire's leash and put her in her car. She got in afterwards. She waved to Impa and drove off. Her friends were a little ahead of her, driving together. She saw Midna and Link cuddling from the backseat of Time's car. She saw Marth glaring at Link pretty often too. She used her magic to drive and leaned back on her chair. She let tears fall. She put a hand to her chest and whimpered. Sapphire sat on her lap and rubbed her head against it. Zelda rubbed her head and smiled.

I'm fine, I don't care. If that's what he wants, if that's what makes him happy, then I'm happy for him, Zelda thought. Her breathing rate increased. I AM happy for him. I am happy for BOTH of them. Tears rolled down faster. What's the point? I can't even feel my heart beating. Why am I lying to myself? I'll... I'll just pretend to be happy.

She got home and quickly changed into some pajamas. She was glad it was a Sunday, so she didn't have to worry about school. She laid on her bed and let some tears fall. She felt something vibrate at the corner of her bed. She groaned and grabbed her phone from there. She sniffed and answered.

"Hello?" Zelda said.

"Zel! We're coming over in three minutes. We're having a movie marathon!" She heard Samus said.

"Didn't we already have one last night?" Zelda asked.

"And we're continuing it! Oh we're here!" Samus said. She heard the door open and she hung up. She heard a bunch of steps coming up her stairs. Her friends stormed through the door and started setting up. The only missing was Link. And she was a little glad.

"Which one should be first?" Samus asked.

"Incredibles 2!" Pit grinned.

"A Wrinkle in Time!" Peach yelled.

"How about neither?" Zelda groaned, laying back down on her bed. Lucina yanked her back up.

"Come on! It'll make you feel better! Promise!" Lucina smiled.

"And who doesn't like a good movie?" Samus mentioned. Zelda glared at them. She decided to go along with it because if she didn't, her friends would annoy her to death.

Zelda woke to the sound of her alarm. She shot up and went to her bathroom. She changed into her workout clothes and went out to run. She went to the right of her house, the direction of Link and Time's. She considered waking them up. She passed their house. So what if they're late? It's not her problem. ... She felt bad. She was being mean at this point. She'll at LEAST wake up Time. Then he'll wake up Link and they'll both be okay! Sounds reasonable.

Later she got back home and called Time up. It took a while but he eventually answered. His voice was groggy, and she bet he was very mad. All she told him was hi and hung up. She could hear him screaming from all the way there. She took her uniform and laid it out on her bed. She quickly showered and came out in only a towel wrapped around her. She changed into her uniform and did her hair. She left it down and braided it at the bottom.

She walked downstairs and put food in Sapphire's bowl. She then put some cereal and milk in a bowl and quickly ate it. She made herself a bento box and made sure to put some soy sauce and chopsticks in a different bag. She packed it carefully in her bag and took it. She took a deep breath. She really hoped that Link or Midna, or both, didn't come out. She kissed Sapphire's head and left. She locked the door and looked around. The coast was clear. She plugged in her earphones to her phone and played "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars. It was basically her and her friend's anthems. And it might of actually made her feel better.
