| 1. | After eating the sturdy meal and packing his school bag, Link wanted to get some last-minute reassurance from his friends. "Hey, Zelda, I need some advice." "Don't tell me you're already scared," Zelda frowned. "No. I just want some advice from someone who's been in high school already, and you're the smartest person I know!" Link smiled. Zelda let out a gentle laugh. "Thanks. Well, you—" "The teachers are so strict that you're not even allowed to breathe!" interrupted the King with a wicked grin. "Huh?!" "Father!" the princess exclaimed reproachfully. "Sorry, go on." "Now, Link—" She was cut off by the bus horn this time. "Oh, my bus must be around here now," said Link quickly, "byes!" "Beware of the meat hash surprise!" Gwonam seemed to have jumped out from nowhere. "Hey, don't get shot!" added the King, and both of them sniggered. Link was taken aback and looked highly upset for a moment, but Zelda was there to support him: "Don't pay attention to 'em, Link. It's not that bad. I'm sure—" "Zelda, don't worry. I'll be fine." In an instant Link was back to being his beaming self. "Alright. Give me a goodbye kiss." However, Link was of a different mind on this idea and replied snidely, with teenage cruelty, "Hell no, screw that! I gave up on your royal ass years ago. I still love you though," added he as an afterthought before leaving the castle. "Yeah, I don't know what she's worried about. I'm going to be alright!" he thought confidently as he got on the bus. | |

| 8. | You say that you're afraid of being disliked by other people, but you have some people that you dislike yourself, don't you? Arithmetically speaking, there are an equal number of people who you don't like that don't like you back. I'm not saying that if you end your dislike of someone, someone else will stop disliking you as well; it's just that you can't change the fact that if you dislike someone, then someone else dislikes you as well. Your life will go much smoother if you just give up and accept that truth. | |
