Chapter 3: Is It Just A Phase?

*Your POV*

After class was over, Oni and I decided to go to our lockers, since we could talk there. We had about 5 minutes or so before the next class, so we decided to get to know what had gone on in the past years since I left. He asked all about Hyrule, and I asked him how he had been, what he did. The entire time, he was smiling and staring me straight in the eyes. I decided to ask him how old he was again, since it had been a while since I knew. Considering we were both seniors (I attended a different high school before moving back), I had a feeling something had to be around the corner. Oni said he was 17, but was turning 18 actually really soon. 

"You're really turning 18? Wow! When and how soon? Are you gonna do anything?" I asked, a bit too excited. He seemed a bit nervous and flattered.

"Yeah, haha, I'm getting old, huh? I'll reach maturity and....finally...b-become...." he trailed off. This made me curious, so I decided to pry.

"Continue, please. You have me curious, Oni....."
 

"A....a true god. I was told this by my father. He warned me years ago. On the eve of my 18th birthday, I will awaken as a true god, and my full potential will be unlocked within me. I won't be the same after that...and to make matters worse, that's this Saturday. We will have a party, but it'll be cut short..." Oni kept going, explaining exactly what would happen that night and what they were going to do about it.

"Wow...I-I never knew, Oni. This must be tough for you, dreading to go through it," I said softly.

"Well, you know, you can come...if you want to, that is. It'd be great to have you there."

"I'd love to come. I'll be there, so you can count on me. I'll help in any way possible."

"But...(y/n), I'd never forgive myself if I hurt you!"

"Don't worry about it. I'll manage this somehow."

The warning bell rings, snapping both of us out of our bubble. We hadn't realized the time! I grabbed Oni's hand tightly.

"Come on, we'll be late if we don't hurry!!!" I yelled.

*Oni's POV*

Sweet Din, she grabbed my hand! I'm so nervous, and I feel like a fool for blushing...I start wondering what would happen if I tripped...Is my hand getting sweaty? NO!!!

"H-hey, (y/n), you should slow down a little! I-I can't keep up, please!!" I begged (y/n). She just laughed and ran faster. Embarrassing for me, I ended up screaming. Lucky for us, we managed to make it to class on time. 

"...Oh, my Hylia......(y/n), that was terrifying.." I said between pants, trying to catch my breath.

"Come on, Oni, that was fun! Lighten up a bit!" (y/n) giggled a little.

"Can we.... never do...... that again? Please? That was torture.....You forgot....I..." I tried to tell (y/n), but I started to choke up and cough. I couldn't breathe...An asthma attack!!! I reached into my satchel as quickly as I could and took out my inhaler, quickly taking a puff to clear my airways and let in some air. (y/n) was very worried and upset.

"I forgot you had asthma! I'm so sorry!!!" she whined.

"N-no worries....I'll....be okay...Gimme.....gimme a minute...or 5...."

Could things get any worse? (y/n) helped me into the classroom and into a seat. After a few minutes, I was back at 100%. She leaned over and whispered yet another apology.

"I'm fine, really..." I whispered quietly.

"TEACHER, THEY'RE GONNA KISS!" some girl blurts out suddenly. This startles the teacher, (y/n), and me. I started blushing, then nervously replied as quick as possible.

"N-no, we're not! No way!" I stammered. OH. MY. DIN. What an embarrassment! Everyone in the classroom except us start giggling and snickering. Then they start whispering. Not good, never has been in my case.

"Please...stop..." I weakly plead. What a nightmare! Can this get any worse?

"Please...." I whimper as I cover my face. Here come the waterworks again....I can't help but to sit there and cry for the second time today. 

I hate myself for being such a baby.
