Hello!

So, my name is Samuil and this is my very first attempt at fanfiction, ever. I realize that Grima/Eowyn is not a nice pairing, but I've shipped them like FedEx since what seems like forever and I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm sorry for any language mistakes, but English is not my mother tongue and I've only studied it for ten years now. Well that's it for now, I hope you enjoy it ^^

Chapter 1

/GPOV/

You know, debate club was fun before she joined.

I mean, it's not completely her fault, it just... well it kinda is.

Last year was so much fun. At first it wasn't, of course. I was freshman in a college in a different town, and I knew nobody, more importantly - no one seemed to want to know me. I guess getting a tongue split first thing after getting 18 wasn't such a good idea. Saruman was, like, the first person not to be horrified of me... but it's not like he noticed me at all. I was just a part of the crowd. His crowd. And he had quite a crowd, I'm telling you. He was like a wizard of words; he could convince you in whatever came to his mind. I think he was a neo-nazi deep down, but I really couldn't care less. He was so fascinating.

Soon, I joined in the debate club he was a member of. I felt out of place the first few times(I've never been one to socialize much), but I slowly gained confidence and started taking part in some of the conversations. I don't really have opinions on most of nowadays' problems, as I don't watch TV or read the news on a daily, not even on a monthly basis and am not aware of what's going on. (I'd rather not be, honestly. Our world scares me.) But when it came to subjects I was accustomed with, I would enthusiastically join in discussions; I may not be half as skilled as the other guys, but I had passion if nothing else. And, for a change, I had something in my life to look up to. I was happy.

Then summer break came and Saruman got involved with that guy that he met on the beach, Sauron or whatever his stupid name is - anyway, he's not local and goes to a college somewhere far away, so Saruman randomly decided to literally drop out of college and sign up for Sauron's college. Just like that. However, I kept going to debate club meetings. I had grown fond of reasoning with people, and despite I hadn't made friends, I felt less alone there. I finally belonged somewhere, for my part.

And then she joined.

The first time I saw her, I honestly thought I had died and were now in Heaven, observing an angel, and I'm not too fond of religion and such things. She has the most magnificent blond curles, I swear. And she looked so fragile, like a porcelain-made damsel in distress. But I was yet to discover how far from reality my first impression was.

As I now am one of the "old dogs" in Reservoir(that's the name of our club; I think it's a movie reference or something like that), they usually let me start speaking on "my" topics. And Eowyn - that's her name - always snorts and goes with the completely different opinion. I'm not sure where she gets her arguments, but she's brilliant. It's been three weeks since I met her and we haven't agreed once, and she always reasons the crap out of me. Which is not actually that hard, I suck at opinions. I suck at life but that's another story.

I've found out that Eowyn is a Buddhist, a feminist, and a supporter of about every minority I have and have not heard of in my life. She also trains judo and listens to riot grrl bands. And for a Buddhist, she has too big anger management problems, I kid you not - especially when it comes to me. Sometimes I'm really goddamn scared of her. I mean she's all sweet and tender and then she turns to me and starts yelling and it's like she's about to stab me with the closest sharp object.

I'm pretty sure she hates me.
