Hi! :) Um well this is kind of a different thing...the world is set on today's time and space,though there are connecting things :D I hope you like this one,and review your thoughts!Here it goes... *oh and by the way their thoughts are based on typical teenager ones*

Love Was Never Easy

Chapter 1

"He is just so handsome..." thought Tauriel as her eyes caught sight of a good looking blonde sitting at the very back row of the classroom.

His face seemed cold and serious; so serious that it was enough to make her shudder...and yet, there was something about his face that made her swoon.

Just as she immersed herself in her daydream thoughts again, Tauriel dropped her pen and she bent down to pick it up. Through the strands of her bright, red hair, the elleth couldn't help herself and caught another glimpse of him.

"Miss Tauriel?" asked their elvish professor, "Is there a problem? You've been bent down for over a full minute."

"I'm so sorry, Sir Gildor," stammered Tauriel and hurriedly sat back up. Glancing back, she gave a sigh of relief to find that none of her classmates took no importance of it...especially the blonde.

Later, the bell rang and the elves and other races went out of their classrooms. This is the University of Arda, and life here goes on and on like a clichéd back story.

Elves were the most popular and well known race in the building. Dwarves were known as the tough ones in the crowd. As for Men, they were almost as popular as the elves...but not as equal. Hobbits liked to take things slow and would often be found at the canteen or library.

Lastly, there were the orcs...they would be the school bullies and the mischief makers and the class clowns. Their troublesome behavior has unbelievably reached off the scale in such a short period that they were as popular as the elves!

Though not being the usual victim of teases and ugly remarks, Tauriel considered herself an outcast...someone who shouldn't even look at the likes of Legolas, that blonde elf, as they are clearly off the same level. To her dismay, she heard that he had a girlfriend already.

"It's for the best..." she thought. Then, her eyes shot wide open with terror. "I left my notebook!"

She turned to run and go back when her body slammed against something hard and firm, reeling her backwards. Getting her bearings back, she looked up to find a tall elf standing in front of her, wearing a green sweatshirt and brown pants. He didn't seem to be affected at all by the clash and looked down at her with piercing sapphire-like eyes.

"I'm so sorry..." she stammered quietly, realizing who she had just collided with. It was Legolas.

The elf looked at her and inspected her, head to toe. From the way his eyes showed, he didn't like it at all. Suddenly, his arm shot out and in his hand was a black notebook.

"Watch where you leave your things next time,"he said, getting mad at her, "klutz."

Tauriel was offended when he called her that, and grew more sheepish of herself. Legolas hurriedly walked away, leaving her alone again.

"Can you be more embarrassing?" she reprimanded to herself. "Wait!" she called out loudly and suddenly.

Legolas stopped in his tracks and the elleth came closer to him.

"Why did you bother to return the notebook?" she asked.

Legolas shrugged his shoulders and once more looked at her. "Why shouldn't I?" he replied coldly and went away.

As Tauriel looked at him leave, she couldn't help but smile. Despite that cold exterior, she knew that he was a good person.
