SOOO! Musical is done! Get ready for a cute lil' chapter. I'm in a better mood but I'm still kinda sick.
Eh, let's get into it! Hope you enjoy!

I also did like half of this in Geography after finishing an exam... so it's going to be wordy. So, yea sorry. I've also infected my whole class... (16.8.19)

17.8.19 - I was supposed to update yesterday but I was really tired and couldn't find the time. Still very sick :|
-o0O0o-

The bell rang and everyone was dismissed.
I simply waved to Midna and she winked back at me as she saw me heading in Link's direction.
Hell, it was so weird, it felt like a routine I had done countless times before.

Then I saw the staring, heard the whispering, felt the attitude change.

I walked on, my head low.

Hey, let's go

Link was still here... I almost forgot. It would definitely take time to get used to rumours about what had happened earlier but, I still had Link and Midna on my side. Hell, Midna's friends would probably be gossiping too.

I realised light from the sun, and before I knew it, we were outside. Link stopped and turned around and smiled at me before pointing to a tree not too far from where we were but hidden enough so I wouldn't notice it at first glance.

"We're going to sit over there, hope it suits" Link said aloud and smiled to me again before holding his hand out to me. He realised the people staring, judging, gossiping, criticising, and quickly went to flapping it up and down as if he were a bird and mouthed something, smoothly changing his action to that of showing me something.

Sorry, let's just go.

It's fine

I giggled, walking, knowing my easily burnt skin wouldn't burn with my long sleeves. I also knew I wouldn't faint over the activity of walking, not like earlier when I was running with Midna.

I chuckled at the thought.

Just before that I didn't know Link existed. And then I met him, and figured he was my soulmate, because our strings were connected, despite the events of it occurring making little to no sense at all. I was still confused and needed answers.

We exchanged no words, even in our heads, while we walked.

We made it to the tree and Link sat down first, holding his hand out properly this time, gone from the staring, judging, gossiping and criticising.

Come and sit with me, so I can get to know you better.

Link smiled and I smiled back. He didn't even communicate like normal people should, even though we were alone now heh?

I took his hand and sat down with him, the soft breeze tickling my ankles.

Sorry I don't talk much... I just really don't like speaking. When I open my mouth and when words come out, it feels as if everyone's expecting something of me.

Why? Why should you feel burdened by this?

I'm a good student. Grades high above average, good at sports. Everyone tries to impress me. Heh, I'm like Troy Bolton in a sense. Then you could be my Gabriella Montez. Let's hope we don't get separated by friends.

He joked with me, making the connection also while changing the subject. His face turned from a smile, into a frown.

Everyone around me wants to be my friend. My parents died and I was raised under my grandfather, and alongside my very young cousins. They all died in a house fire, when they were asleep. I was out running errands for my Grandfather. That was when I was ten. Everyone at school felt sorry for me and I drifted away. It's not like they knew how I felt or no way I could get them back. When I grew up, everyone spread my story. They thought it was edgy, cool even. They all wanted to be my friend, be known as cool. That's why I'm silent, I'm burdened by gossip about what I say. I know that telling someone that I didn't like them back got around as gossip, and almost destroyed me. People kept on hyping it up, thinking it was cool, edgy even. In reality I was just really lonely.

I stayed quiet through this all. I didn't dare speak. I simply put my hand on Link's back, while he reminisced and held in sobs. He was hurting. He had gone through the stress of losing his family alone. I had to deal with that stress, but I had a helping hand. I had Impa. It could never compare to the hurt Link was dealing with right now.

A/N: HAHA high school musical references while I'm wearing a high school musical shirt (from my school musical).Haha I'm at lunch rn and my BF just kinda left to go get food, so I finished the last bit.
