Hi! I'm DreamingIn2Eternity!

A little about me and this story: This is my first 'modern day character(s) falls into Middle Earth' story, so I apologize if things are a little rough. My challenge for this story is creating twenty four original characters that actually have a place in the story, and are not there for convenience.

Summary: Follow a classroom of high schoolers as they journey through middle earth, where things are in no way what they expected. The students quickly learn that not everything is as it seems, and their knowledge of Middle Earth is dangerous knowledge indeed.

Something to Note: There will be many OC's (24 to be exact) in this story, and many of Tolkien's original characters as well. Also, my apologies; swearing isn't my thing, but I hope I captured the high school atmosphere pretty well.

Disclaimer: I only own the OC's, LOTR and everything else belongs to their respectful owners.

Enjoy!

"CASSIE! ANDREA! MEGHAN! GET. UP. NOW!"

"But Moooommm-"

"NO BUT'S CASSIE! GET UP NOW! YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE"

Let it be known that Cassie, Andrea, and Meghan, are NOT morning people. The three teenagers rolled lazily out of their beds, and after looking at their clock's, which read 7:30 a.m.- realized just how late they were running.

"BATHROOM TIME STARTS FROM OLDEST TO YOUNGEST!" Cassie yelled as she darted into the bathroom, slamming and locking the door behind her.

Andrea and Meghan groaned in protest, Cassie always took the longest. She was nearly OCD with her need to make herself look like an oversized Barbie doll, with over half of the time being spent curling her long brown locks to perfection. Meghan, knowing that she had lost the non-existent battle, retreated to her room to get herself ready for the day.

"CASSIE! OPEN THE DOOR, YOU DON'T OWN THE BATHROOM, MEGHAN AND I DON'T ABIDE BY YOUR RULES, O-PEN UP!"

"I'm the the only one who actually bothers, and cares, to look decent every day!-Go use your room...MEGHAN! WHY IS YOUR BLOND HAIR IN MY HAIR BRUSH?"

Meghan didn't even bother responding while she gathered her school things together to put into her bag. Cassie had lent her the use of her hair brush yesterday...

"CASSIE! OPEN UP!" Andrea barked.

"No"

"CASSIE! NOW!" Andrea continued as she started pounding on the door.

"NO, MAKE ME!"

"MOOOOOMMMM, CASSIE'S HOGGING THE BATHROOM!"

"CASSIE, LET YOUR SISTER IN" The girl's mother ordered from the kitchen.

"I'LL BE DONE IN A MINUTE" Cassie responded.

"YOU HEARD MOM CASSIE! OPEN THE DOOR!" Andrea ordered, as she continued with the pounding.

"I SAID GIVE ME A MINUTE!"

"CASSIE! LET YOUR SISTER IN!...ANDREA! STOP POUNDING ON THE BATHROOM DOOR!"

A moment later, Cassie came out of the bathroom with the top half of her hair curled and make up done, and Andrea rushed in to continue with her morning routine.

"Fine! I'm done anyway!" she said as she pulled the curled hair into a pony tail. As Cassie returned to her room to gather her book-bag, she happened to glance at the clock which now read 7:46 a.m. With a shriek of horror, Cassie raced downstairs.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late! My senior year's perfect attendance will be ruined if I'm late!" Cassie whined as she ran into the kitchen for her breakfast.

"Then you should have gotten up sooner" Megan stated nonchalantly as she too came into the kitchen.

"Shut up, Meghan!"

"Make me, butt face!"

"Freshman!"

"Ooh, big comeback! Did you forget that you were once one too?" Meghan responded sarcastically.

"BOTH OF YOU KNOCK IT OFF! Cassie, Meghan, go get in the car-ANDREA, GET DOWN HERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"

"COMING!" Andrea replied with a mouth full of toothpaste and her toothbrush. Not a moment later she too was in the kitchen, a hairbrush in hand, with her light brown hair still tangled in the rats nest of knots it worked itself into each night. Grabbing all three of the lunches their mother prepared for them, Andrea raced to the front passenger seat of Cassie's car where, while she buckled her seat belt, she and her sisters chorused a 'By Mom, love you', as Cassie began driving away.

The girls mother just shook her head as she watched her three girls head off to school. Looking up to the sky as she reflected on the mornings events she muttered to herself, "Some things are never going to change..."

Once arriving in the school parking lot, Cassie, Andrea, and Meghan went to their respective social groups.

"See ya underclassmen!" Cassie said as she ran over to the old decaying picnic table her friends had claimed this morning.

"I'm a Junior stupid, Meghan is the only underclassmen!" Andrea yelled as she too moved to her friends.

"Have a good day guys…" Meghan responded softly to the two now empty spaces around her as she watched her sisters greet their respective social groups.

~.~

Over at the picnic table Cassie's smile fell as she was greeted by the never ending annoyance that was Christopher.

"What's with the curly pony tail sexy? Roll out of bed to late? Couldn't finish the other half?" Chris said with a smirk, "Remind me never to be your sex partner-I don't want to be the half left unfinished" The group of seniors began snickering at that.

"Shut up! Chris-toe-pher"

"It's Chris, Assie, Chris" he continued with a demeaning tone.

"Why don't you shove that pretty little blond head up where the sun don't shine since that end seems to be such a wonder to you?" Cassie snapped.

"YO! Guy's cool it! And show a little respect Chris, she is a lady" Jacob interjected as he approached. Everyone turned to greet the next arrival of their group, "I swear you lot have the most disgusting sense of humor out of everyone I know"

"You expected something different? Really Jake-" Andrew added as he smiled at his best friend.

"What the hell Jake? Seriously? She was coming at me and you side with her? Some Bro you are." Chris ranted with a pout.

"Whatever Chris," Jacob replied as he winked at Cassie.

"WHATEVER? WHATEVER! YOU'RE SIDING WITH THE BI-" Chris continued while pointing at Cassie's back.

"-WITCH" Andrew and Jacob coursed over Chris.

"… OF ALL TIME!"

"EXCUSE ME MR. FOUR LETTER WORDS? WHAT WAS THAT YOU JUST CALLED ME?" Cassie spat as she turned on her heal to face Chris who, shrunk backwards while lowering his hand.

"Ummm, Cass, that one in particular had five letters-"

"Shut up Krissy...AND YOU JAKE, WITCH?...WHAT THE HELL?"

"SHHHUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT UUUPPPPP!" Another from their group yelled, earning herself stares from the six other seniors, "Geez, you lot are being ridiculous, did you forget today is movie day? If we're all pissed at each other you'll ruin the best part!"

"…" Silence was the response from the surrounding six seniors.

"Whispering behind the backs of, and mocking of all the movie geeks?" Again her response was six 'deer-in-the-headlights' stares, "Hello?" she continued, waving her hand in front of the others, "...Am I speaking English here?"

"God Brook... who knew you could be so loud?" Jill stated flatly after a moment, still stunned by the normally silent girl's outburst.

"Oh shut up Jill" Brook replied stiffly.

On the other end of the parking lot, Andrea and her five friends were laughing at the senior's foolishness-for only being a year older than them, the seniors often acted very immature.

"Wow Rea! I never knew Cassie could lose her cool like that!" Maria giggled.

"I know Mary! It's great right?" Andrea responded through laughs, "Chris is the only one who can get her riled up like that, even when I'm trying to upset her I can't get her to act like that!"

"Well," Tommy added, while gasping for air, "My big-bro has a knack for getting under other peoples skin"

"Yeah, your bro's the best! Hey Tommy? Will he give lessons?" John asked while holding onto Tommy's shoulder for support.

"NO! Don't John! Don't become a mini-Chris!" Two of the four females exclaimed simultaneously.

"Twins again! Hugs!" They said again simultaneously, while running into each others hug.

"Not again. I swear you two plan that out..." Tommy stated as Kate and Marie embraced eachother.

"Kate and I do nothing of the sort, Tommy" Marie responded, as she looked over Kate's shoulder. A moment later, she raised her hand so that is was pointing past Tommy. As she pulled away from Kate, she tapped her shoulder to get her to turn around, "Hey look on the steps, it's the geek squad".

As the group turned to where Marie was pointing, they watched at group of sophmores, or better known as the "Lord of the Rings geek squad".

"I bet they're excited for todays movie" Hannah added.

As Marie suspected, the sophmores Sarah, Emily, Stephanie, Adam, and Justin were discussing the upcoming presentation of the Two Towers at their school, and only a short distance behind them were the freshman, eager to join in on the conversation.

The 8:00 a.m. bell rang, and everyone rushed inside to their class.

"Quiet for attendance, please" Mrs. Applebalm, the first hour choir teacher announced from the front of the classroom, "Seniors…Cassie-"

"Here"

"...Jill…"

"Here"

"Simply raise your hands please...Khristina…"

"Is it just me or does that top look like dog shit?" Chris whispered as he turned around to face his younger brother Tommy.

"Brook...Andrew...Jacob…"

"I agree with you about the shirt, but what's with that skirt? Baby puke mixed with cherry syrup much?"

"Du-"

"...and Christopher."

"-HERE" Chris nearly shouted as he spun back around to the front of the class, raising several snickers from his peers.

"Raise your hand Christopher-"

"-it's Chris-"

"-and stop whispering to your brother. Alright, seniors are all here…"

"Dude, you are so right!" Chris whispered as he responded to Tommy, while Mrs. Applebalm continued with the attendance.

"Juniors. Andrea...Maria...Kathrin...Hannah...Tommy...and John-Good"

"When did she get those glasses? And how on earth are they such a hideous yellow? Did the factory machine malfunction or something?" Tommy asked with a smirk. "Sophomores. Sarah…"

"I know right? It's like she intentionally picks out such hideous things to wear-" Chris responded, only to be interrupted a moment later.

"Emily… -Yes Christopher, I intentionally pick out my outfit just so I can listen to you criticize it every morning. Now turn around and be quiet, you too Tommy, that's enough out of both of you.- Stephanie... Adam... Justin. Good" The two boys were entirely unfazed by Mrs. Applebalm's interruption.

"And Freshman... Meghan... Meridith... Ariel…"

"Dude! And light lilic purple shoes? Even I have a better sense of style then that"

"Samantha… -My, my, Christopher! I never knew you were so skilled in fashion! Lilic purple shoes? My goodness! Perhaps you are the fashion guru I've been looking for!-"

Chris's face turned beet red while his classmates snickered from Mrs. Applebalm's comment.

"Joey…and Luke... Luke?" Mrs. Applebalm looked toward said students assigned seat. Luke had his head down on his desk, and an audible snore was heard as the class quieted, "LUKE!".

"Wha-What? OH! HERE!" Luke responded as he realized that attendance was being taken.

Sighing, Mrs. Applebalm exchanged her hard copy of attendance on her desk for another book that was there, "Alright! We're all here, physically at least, so lets begin! Please open your warm-up books to exercise eight"

After fifteen minutes of warm-ups Mrs. Applebalm had the class switch to a piece that they were learning for the upcoming 'fall celebration' concert. Halfway into the hour however, the sky turned black, and with a tornado watch as their escort, the students were herded into the hallway. Not five minutes later though, the watch turned into a warning, and the teachers were told to take cover.

Hunched over in the protective position, Marie went to whisper her fear to Kate, when everything became deathly quiet. The students snuck a look at the window, and stared in horror at the neon green sky before them. The students prayers for a funnel cloud not to form were unanswered, and suddenly, a sound like a thousand trains and vacuums filled the air. Curling in on themselves, and wrapping their arms around the person next to them, the students screamed as they felt the tornado attack the school. It threw everything from glass, books, and paper, to desks, bricks and cars in the air, as it ripped the school open above their heads.

The students felt the wind pick them up and rip them apart from one another. Amongst the debris, they were separated and thrown about. They knew no more.
