The Legend of Zelda: Only Chosen Love

Chapter 1: The New Girl

School was always a regular thing for Link. He would start the day by waking up in his dorm room, then he would skip breakfast so that he could make it to school in time. He would hang out with his friends, Sheik, Mikau, Kafei, and Mido. His day would be slow, most of it spent not paying attention in any of his classes (besides gym of course) and fooling around with the guys, sometimes trying to pick up girls. Other than that, his days were perfectly normal.

Link rose from his bed one morning, the sun shining through his window. He sighed, and arose from his bed, ready for another boring day of school. If he had parents, they would really be pressuring him to do better, but because he didn't, he didn't give a damn. One of the only reasons he went to school was because there was nothing better for him to do. And he liked hanging out with Sheik and the rest of the guys.

Link looked at himself in the mirror. He had gone to bed with just a pair of jeans on, leaving his shirt off for the next morning. He made sure his face looked clean, and that his hair was messed up.

Link, you look stunning today, he thought to himself, and grabbed his shirt, a black skin-tight shirt that had short sleeves and revealed each section of his abs on his torso. He grabbed his brown jacket that went with it, and grabbed his schoolbag that he left by his bed. He checked the clock. Eight o'clock. He ran out the door, into the hallway, hoping to be at the school early so that he could get extra time to hang out with his friends. He went to the Hyrule Academy, a huge school that even had dorm rooms and campuses. It was a wonder he could even afford to go there, but with his rich uncle supporting his back, he had nothing to worry about.

When he left his room, locked the door, and made it outside on the campus, Link jumped onto his bike and began to ride as fast as he could towards the main entrance of the school. Girls waved at him as he passed by, and he waved back with a casanova smile on his face. Of course, he didn't have any interest in these girls, they just had an interest in him. Much to his dismay, he was the most popular boy in school among the ladies, for being hot, talented, and really social.

When he reached the school, he chained his bike to the bike rack, and swung his schoolbag over his shoulder, which he always kept in the basket attached to the bike seat.

"Hey Link!" he heard Sheik call his name. He turned and waved to the Sheikah. Sheik was wearing the bandages around his face, as usual, which only exposed his right red eye. The rest of the stuff he wore were capes and baggy pants with strange shirts that Link had no idea came from.

"What's up?" Link asked Sheik, and gave his friend a high five.

"Nothin' much," Sheik replied. "Have you seen the rest of the guys yet?"

"Nope, just you." Link walked towards the doors of the school with the crowds of other students, Sheik following close behind him. Once they were inside, they immediately headed into the cafeteria to see if the rest of the guys had shown up yet. They headed to their table at the back of the room, and saw that Mido was already there. Mido smiled at them when he saw they had finally arrived.

"Hey Mido," Link greeted, sitting down next to him. "How's it going?"

He took a drink from his soda. "The usual. I can't seem to pick up any girls, and I'm staring at a guy who doesn't even care about getting girls."

Link snickered. "Hey, I want a girlfriend, I just haven't found the right person yet."

"You said that about the last twenty girls," Sheik laughed, sitting down next to me. "You'd better find a girl fast, the winter school dance is coming up."

Link sighed. He knew he had to find a date for the dance, and soon too, it was already October. That left him with two months to find a girl. Normally, it wouldn't be hard for a guy like him to find a date; it was just finding the right one. All the girls he knew were snooty, uptight, and really only cared about having a boyfriend to brag about to their friends. He wanted someone that looked pretty, but also had a good personality.

"Well, have you two found dates yet?" Link asked them, raising his eyebrow.

"Uh, well... no, but...," Sheik stammered. Link gave him a funny look. "I-It doesn't matter!"

"What about you Mido?" Link asked his Kokiri friend.

"Well, there is one girl I've had my eyes on, but I don't think she'll want to go with me."

"Who?"

"Saria."

"I don't know, you two might make a good couple..."

The group of boys continued to talk about Mido and Saria, until Kafei and Mikau appeared.

"Alright, what did I miss?" Kafei asked jokingly. He would usually say that if he came in a bit late for morning break.

"We're talking about Link's problems with girls," Mido snickered.

"Oh, thanks a lot!" Link laughed, and crossed his arms. "I have no problems with girls! I just have a problem finding the right one..."

"You're in luck then, Link," Mikau sighed as he sat down across from the rest of the boys. "Turns out there's a new student who just transferred here. I hear she's a girl." Leave it to Mikau to find out all the latest gossip. But he still wasn't as good at gossip spreading as Navi was.

"Really?" Link asked. "What grade?"

"Same grade, in the eleventh. She'll probably be in one of your classes."

"I'll have to meet her..."

"Be careful though. I heard some strange things about her."

"What? Like what?" Link was hoping she wasn't paranormal or anything weird like that.

Mikau smirked. "I'll let you meet her first before I tell you. I'll tell you at lunch, how's that sound?"

Link groaned, hoping to hear the information firsthand. "Alright, fine," he mumbled.

After another ten minutes or so, the bell rang, and all the students got up from the tables to go to their respective classes. Link had a Math class first with Mikau and Sheik. His teacher was Mrs. Anju, an energetic and yet still strict teacher. Link had a special way of lazing through the class though, without being caught.

When Link, Mikau, and Sheik made it to the classroom, they took their seats near the window, Mikau being behind Link, and Sheik being in front of Link, so that he was in the middle. Mrs. Anju was sitting at her desk reading her book, and paid little attention as the rest of the students filed in. Link watched as the students sat in their desks, but it was strange... there was one extra desk on the other side of the room against the wall across from him that didn't use to be there before. Maybe it was for the new student Mikau had talked about?

Mrs. Anju walked to the front of the class, setting her book on her desk. "Alright class," she began, which was the way she always began her class. "We have a new student today, and will be with us until she graduates."

"Ya hear that Link?" Mikau whispered in Link's ear from behind him. "It's a she... better make your move fast, kiddo." Link rolled his eyes at his comment, and continued to watch the teacher.

"So, I want you to treat her with respect, and show her around the school if you have any time," Mrs. Anju continued. She gestured towards the door, and a tall girl walked in the classroom.

She's... beautiful... Link thought to himself in awe. She was tall, but a little shorter than him, and she had long blond hair that was streaked with brown, which traveled to her waist. Her eyes were the color of crystal blue, and by her fairy ears, Link knew she was a Hylian, like him.

"Would you like to say anything, Zelda?" Mrs. Anju asked the girl.

The girl blinked once, and then smiled lightly. "Hello. My name is Zelda. I'm happy to be here." Even her voice made Link's heart skip a beat. Her voice was gentle, like an angel's voice. "I'm hoping to make lots of good friends, so if you want to talk to me, don't be afraid to say hello." She looked at Mrs. Anju.

"Thank you, Zelda," Mrs. Anju said in a pleased voice. "Please take your seat over there, against the left wall." Zelda obeyed, and walked down the aisle of the classroom. Her steps were so graceful... Link couldn't stand taking his eyes off her. She sat down in her chair, and pulled out her Math textbook and her scribbler and pencil. She glanced up at Link, but he zipped his eyes away. But he could have sworn he saw her smile at him from the corner of his eye. She seemed like a nice girl.

I should get to know her better, Link thought. She might be a nice girl. He felt Mikau kick his leg from behind him. Link turned around slightly to see what he wanted. Mikau aimed his thumb at Zelda, and winked. Link gave him a disgusted look, and then turned back around.

For the entire ninety-minute class, the teacher had the entire class doing work from their textbooks. Link just decided to kick back and relax (but not sleep of course. He didn't know if he did or did not snore, and that was a risk he wasn't willing to take). But Mikau and Sheik would look out for him, and whenever the teacher eyed Link suspiciously, Sheik would kick Link's leg, and Mikau would pull Link's head to his desk, making it look like Link was working in the open, unused textbook on his desk. Link would pretend to work after that, until the teacher looked back at her books on her desk. This plan had always worked since the beginning of the tenth grade, when he didn't have any reason to pay attention in Math class.

When the bell finally rang to end class, Link bolted up from his chair, along with Mikau, Sheik, and the rest of the students.

"Guys, I'll meet up with you in a second," Link said to them. He wanted to talk to Zelda, to see what she was like.

Sheik winked at him, and Mikau gave him a thumbs-up. Those jerks, Link thought, and approached Zelda, who was still sitting at her desk, putting her books into her schoolbag. Mikau and Sheik left the room, leaving Link along to speak with the beautiful new girl.

"Um, hi," Link said nervously. She looked up from her books, and bit her lip.

"Hey," she said back. Her voice didn't sound as... angelic as it did before. "Listen, if you're here to ask me out on a date, the answer is no."

Link was stunned by her words. He wasn't even thinking about that! Well... not yet anyways...

"What?" he stammered. "I wasn't going to ask you out, I just wanted to introduce myself!"

"Go ahead. I'm listening."

"I'm Link."

"Interesting name. As you already know, I'm Zelda. By the way, that was a great trick you pulled off with your friends there." She had noticed Link's relaxing trick.

Link couldn't help but smile. "Thanks. Listen, if you ever need anything... a tour of the school, any friend suggestions, or help with finding your next class... I could help you out..." Goddess Din, stop flirting, you desperate person! Link thought in anger. He had a feeling that Zelda knew exactly what he was thinking; her blank expression could tell it all.

"Maybe," she replied, and stood up from her desk. She smiled at Link. "It was a pleasure meeting you." She left the room without saying another word.

Smooth, Link thought. Real smooth.

Link left the classroom immediately after she did, only to get tackled by Mikau and Sheik, and then pinned him to the wall.

"Alright, give it to us straight, Link!" Sheik demanded. "What did she say?"

"I just told her that if she needed a tour of the school, that I would help her out," Link explained. He knew that it was a sorry excuse, but it was the truth. "Of course, she did accuse me of asking her out the moment I started talking to her..."

Mikau smiled. "That will all be explained at lunch, Link." Link groaned again, not wanting to wait until the lunch break, which was ninety minutes away.

"Oh, dammit!" Sheik exclaimed. "Link, here comes Ganon! Hide!" Link immediately began to panic, and hid behind Sheik and Mikau. Sheik's robes were easy to hide behind, because he wore so many of them.

"Hey, losers, have you seen the fairy kid anywhere?" Link heard Ganon demand. He couldn't see him because of Sheik and Mikau standing in front of him.

"Sorry, Ganon, we haven't seen him," Mikau muttered. "I think he headed off for the cafeteria to find Mido and Kafei."

Ganon snarled. "Alright, if you see him, tell him I've got a score to settle with him." The thing about Ganon, was that he wasn't suspicious enough. Why did he trust Mikau and Sheik not to hide Link?

When Mikau and Sheik were sure Ganon had left the hallway for good, they stepped aside for Link to get out from behind them.

"That was close," Link muttered.

"You think?" Mikau yelled. "It's not easy for me to lie!"

"Well, you do an awful good job at it when you do," Sheik added.

Link double-checked his schedule; he had English next. He put his schedule back into his bag, and then began walking down the hall, pulling Sheik behind him. Sheik and Mido were in his English class, but Kafei and Mikau weren't. At least he only had to worry about one person bugging him about the new girl. And he didn't think Sheik would tease him as much as Mikau would.

When he made it to the classroom, Link gasped, in horror, and delight when he saw Zelda sitting in his class... directly behind his desk. He didn't say a word as he sat down in front of her. Sheik sat in front of Link, and Mido sat in front of Sheik. Sheik looked back at Link, and then winked.

Link decided to turn around to face Zelda, just so he could get away from Sheik's teasing. Zelda looked up at him, and smiled.

"So, we're in the same class again, huh?" he said to her, trying to sound better than he did in the last class.

"I guess we are," she said in a flat sort of voice. "Who's your friend?" She pointed at Sheik, who was also looking at her.

Darn it, don't tell me she's got an eye for Sheik... Link thought. "Oh, this is Sheik," he introduced. Sheik smiled, and turned back towards Mido to talk. He was probably going to tell Mido about the new girl, and how he thought Link was 'in love' with her.

"Hey, who's our teacher for this class?" Zelda asked Link. She probably noticed that the teacher hadn't arrived yet, but then again, the bell hadn't even rang yet.

Link felt himself heating up. She was actually talking to him, in a conversation... but why was he getting so nervous? It wasn't the first time he talked to a girl. But then again, it was the first time he talked to a girl that actually turned him on.

"Oh, our teacher is Mr. Rauru," Link replied, trying not to lose control of his words. "He can be a bit of a grump, but he's alright. I can't sleep through this class though... he always seems to catch me... it's like he has an eye on the back of his head."

"He probably does." Zelda smiled, and giggled. "English is one of my favorite classes though." She relaxed back in her chair. Link could see her torso perfectly; her breasts, her collarbone, and her beautifully carved waist. Link bit his lip. It was hard for him to hold back all the feelings that were going through his mind. His body was heating up fast, and he was sure his face was a bright red by now.

"Listen, I can tell you're interested in me," Zelda sighed. "Your body signals tell it all. But the answer is still no. I won't go out with you, because I know you men are all the same." Link felt heartbroken by her words. He felt all his emotions drown from his body, and he turned around, laying his head on his desk, waiting for the class to start and the awkward silence between the two to end.

When Mr. Rauru finally did appear, he began talking about the new books they would be reading throughout the year. Link tried hard to stay awake, and luckily, he didn't fall asleep, and he didn't get caught for drooping his eyes either. Mr. Rauru would stop him just for doing that. Luckily, he had gym after lunch, so he wouldn't have to worry about being tired for the rest of the day; a good game of basketball, or whatever sport they were playing would get his blood pumping.

When class finally ended, Link ran as fast as he could to the cafeteria, hoping to hear what news Mikau had been hesitating to tell him until lunchtime. He sat next to Mikau at the table, and demanded to know what was up with Zelda.

"Alright, fine, I'll tell you," Mikau said, finally giving in. Mido, Kafei, and Sheik gathered around the table to hear the info too. "One of my friends used to be in her school, before he came here for high school. Turns out that she was real popular with the boys."

That doesn't surprise me, Link thought.

"Zelda would get, like, ten invitations in one week, and she would accept one boy each time. But each guy she accepted didn't last long, before she dumped them, telling them, "I'm not interested in you, you men are all the same!"

So, I wasn't the only one she told that to.

"Even now, she doesn't accept any dates very often. I don't know why either. She'd probably only tell her closest friends why, say, the girls in her grade."

Link gazed at the table Zelda was sitting at. She was hanging out with Malon, Saria, Ruto, and another girl named Alexis, who was a tenth grader, a freshman. Wow, she's already got a whole group of friends. Well, that shouldn't surprise me. She is kinda nice...

"Link, would ya quit staring at her?" Kafei said, snapping his fingers in front of Link's face to snap him out of his trance on Zelda. "Why don't you just ask her out?"

"I wasn't even thinking of doing that," Link muttered. "But when I talked to her this morning, she just said, "If you're trying to ask me out, the answer is no.". So I don't think that's going to work."

A/N: So how was that for a first chapter? I hope you all enjoyed it! It's rated M because there will be lemons later on in the story, so it's not for kiddies! There's also a bit of language, but we'll get to that later. Also, if you review, go ahead and put up what pairings there should be with Link's friends, Sheik, Mido, Mikau, and Kafei (because trust me, they're going to have girlfriends by the end of this fanfic). I'll try and submit Chapter 2 soon!
