Sept. 6 Wednesday
Hey... me again. Just like to inform you of my wondrous school day today. You can tell I am being sarcastic right. Well...you are right.
I found a long sleeve shirt to cover my burnt marks and applied foundation and blush to hide the bruises. I had to borrow makeup from my aunt because I usually don't wear makeup. I think all it does it cover up(which is what I want) the beauty you have. I'm not vain or anything, but I just don't like makeup(also because it makes my face itch). My aunt then told me I should finish the look. What?
"You know... if you're going to be wearing makeup, try not to make it look like you're hiding something," she said, getting out some light eye shadow.
I had to agree with her on that...I kind of looked like a clown...
She took a warm washcloth and clean off the excess stuff on my face. She then towel dried it and lightly reapplied the foundation. Then, she applied eye shadow and mascara, along with eyeliner, blush and some lip-gloss. When I looked in the mirror, the bruises were lighter, but not completely gone, though I did look a lot better. My aunt then shooed me off, telling me to get to school. I grabbed my coat and book bag and looked at the clock. I saw that I didn't have much time, so I practically ran out the door, racing against the clock. I then saw a car following me. Great...a stalker probably coming to kidnap me. That made me quicken my pace, though I was already feeling fatigue. I heard the car horn and that made me stop and turn to see who it was. I saw blonde hair, pointy ears, and striking blue eyes sticking out of the driver window. Guess who?
"Hey, do you need a ride or something?" Legolas said, "I'm running late today. I guess were in the same boat huh?"
I smiled at him and accepted his offer. I'm tired of running... and hey! Free ride! Who could say no to that? I slipped into the passenger side, taking off my backpack and setting it in the floorboard.
"I noticed you weren't at school yesterday...did something happen?"
I looked down sadly. I didn't like the fact I was accused for a crime I didn't commit nor actually telling people the story.
"It's a long story," I said simply.
Lucky for me, he took the hint and let sleeping dogs lie. Thank you God! He pulled into school, thankfully before the bell rang. I thanked him for the ride and he smiled while saying your welcome. I picked up my backpack and got out of the car. He picked up his stuff and walked beside me into school. I felt the burning sensation on me like after going to the art room Monday and saw more preps. I nearly gasped out loud at their intense gazes then saw the vice principal coming towards me as well as a police officer.
"Sorry to bother you Miss, but may I check your bag?" the officer said politely, reaching out for it.
I let it slide off my shoulder and handed it to him(I don't have anything to hide so why hold back?) He searched through it only to find my books (schoolbooks, sketchbook, journals, folders, et cetera, et cetera) He thought my little Tsukasa key chain was cute (kawaii little Tsukasa!!) He then gave me my bag and told me to empty my pockets. I turned them inside out only to reveal some lunch money, crumpled pieces of paper, and a couple pounds of lint. He then let me pass into school. When I looked at Legolas... I noticed his eyes were a shade darker. It was hardly noticeable at a distance but.... His ears seemed pointier too, more elf-like actually. It made him look a bit... evil (that's the best way to describe it.)
He then shook his head, his eyes changing back to the original color and his ears became less pointy. Maybe it was just my imagination. Or is it something else?
"We'd better get to class," he said, looking like he was trying to fight off a headache.
I felt sorry for him, but went to my locker and got my geometry book and sat in my seat next to Sam. The teacher kept giving me strange looks, as well as the other students. Sam was the only sympathetic one. Class went by slower than usual and I was relieved when the bell finally rang. I packed up my stuff and went to band as quickly as I could. Legolas was there with the other chorus members and he waved politely at me. I blushed, but waved back. I got out my instrument and warmed up a bit. I noticed the first chair wasn't here today so that meant I was first today. Yay! But that would also mean I would have to play that one solo in that one piece. It was only two measures, but full of sixteenth notes, not to mention it's only you playing. No accompaniment from any part of the band and that got me a bit nervous. Sure, I had practiced it in case anything happened to our first chair, but I had only played it in front of our director, not the other students. I hate my life....
"I guess you get to do the solo today..." the person next to me said, almost trying to contain his laughter.
Some more comments went around that didn't hold any encouragement in them at all. Why is everyone against me today? When we got to the piece, my adrenaline went haywire as my nervousness kicked in. The other students noticed and almost sneered and contained their laughter. I looked around for any form of encouragement and saw the teacher smiling warmly. At least one person believed in me. I then saw most of the Choir looking like just like the band just now. I felt saddened then noticed Legolas. He smiled and gave me the thumbs up. That made me feel a lot better and prepped myself up and played the piece. I played through with few mistakes, but those were just silly mistakes...and I played the solo perfectly! I'm so proud!
When Band & Chorus was over, Legolas sat beside me, smiling.
"You did great today," he said warmly.
"Thanks," I said, blushing lightly.
He smiled softly at that. God... Why did he have to be so beautiful?
"Aww... look... young love," a harsh voice said, startling me.
I looked to see that one senior... the one that slapped me, smirking.
"Remember me little one?" she said smirking.
I cringed back a little bit, but it was barely noticeable. I noticed Legolas eyes were darker again. Maybe his eyes change colors with his moods or something. He looked a bit pissed off right now. But then they changed back again with the shake of his head. Is this weird or what? Soon, more preps joined her all of which were familiar. Lucky for us, the bell rang for this block to change to the next one. I grabbed my stuff with Legolas following me to class. Why was he following me?
"Please... don't be alone," he said, barely above a whisper, then taking off in the direction of his class.
I looked after he left where he was standing. 'Don't be alone...?' What did he mean by that? I walked into class and sat with my friends as usual. Worked on a new project, finishing early (it was a simple project that could be finished in one block), Aragorn giving anyone "The Look" if they dared to comment about the week's previous events. Though...even Aragorn couldn't keep them at bay for long....
"We heard what happened..." one student piped up.
"You are one brave kid... bringing cigarettes on school grounds," another said.
"And actually attacking the preps with them!? We all know we wanted to do that to them, but you actually did it!" The first said excitedly.
"You're a hero amongst us! We bow down to you!" some said, actually trying to get a better view of "The Hero."
"I'm no hero...." I said quietly, knowing the truth.
"Miss Modest...." One commented, "we all heard what you did and that is considered bravery amongst all of us!"
"You heard wrong..." I said trailing off.
"What do you mean?" The teacher commented.
I didn't feel like answering, in fact I felt like crying. Arwen put a comforting arm around me and the others took over the story from there.
"She was dragged off during passing period by the villains she was," Sam said.
"Oi yeah," Pippin said, "all because they thought she's involved with that new guy... Legolas was it?"
"Yeah," Merry said.
"Beat her up they did," Sam said, "The bruises and burns prove it!"
"All because of jealousy," Frodo concluded.
Well...you could say that must of the class was stunned with this side of the story.
"Didn't the principal do anything about it?" the teacher asked, "I mean... if that's all true then..."
"They got there before I could," Aragorn said, sighing
"But that's horrible!" One student said.
"Fair justice in this country...feh... yeah right!" another said crossly.
"You should sue!" One said.
"There's not much you can do..." Aragorn said, "The Principal believes their story and wouldn't listen to our side. I tried."
The bell rang then, preventing further discussion. I picked up my stuff and walked grudgingly to the cafeteria. I got my stuff and headed outside, despite the apparent chill in the air. I pulled my shirt closer, sorely wishing I should have brought my jacket today. Damn weather...it's so unpredictable!
I then felt a jacket being laid upon my shoulders. Knowing fully well that jackets just don't appear out of nowhere (warm ones too!) I looked to see familiar blue eyes, blonde hair, and pointy ears. You can probably figure who it is if you haven't figured it out by now.
"Hey," Legolas said, sitting next to me, "Why are you out here freezing to death?"
"It's a lot better out here that in there," I said, pulling the jacket closer.
"I beg to differ," he said sarcastically, then dropped the subject.
"Trouble in paradise?" a new voice said.
We turned to see two preps, the same ones that caused me to leave the other day so they could flirt with Legolas. I cringed back this time, knowing they have friends. They took a step forward, grinning maliciously. Suddenly, one was hit with a balloon filled to the brim with chili sauce. Another one came flying and hit the other one, both screaming bloody murder. What the hell?
"What's going on?" Legolas questioned, me shrugging.
Suddenly more preps came to aid their friends.
"You planned this, didn't you?!" One covered in chili said, scowling darkly.
"I had nothing to do with this!" I said, standing back.
One came forward (I assumed was the leader) and was about to slap me when another balloon came flying, though it wasn't chili inside. It looked like...EW! Dog poop! The girl screamed in horror as she wiped the substance, scowling. She tried to slap me again; another balloon came flying, filled with more dog poop. Gross...but very funny. She scowled then walked off, her friend trailing behind. I then heard laughter and the slapping of hands from the roof. I looked up to see Merry & Pippin, grinning and waving. They then came down from the roof, laughing all the way.
"That was amazing!" Pippin exclaimed.
Merry nodded, grinning.
"What were you two doing?" I asked, trying to decide if I should be angry or relieved.
"Saving you & Legolas we were," Merry said.
"Oi yeah," Pippin added, "Those villains won't have their way with you with us around!"
"No one hurts our friends and gets away with it!" Merry exclaimed.
I then cracked a smile. I have such great friends...especially ones that have great aim and know the best substances to throw at people. :)
"You do realize that both of you are going to get into deep trouble for this?" Legolas said, raising an eyebrow.
"You kidding?" Pippin said.
"Trouble is our middle name," Merry said.
"'Sides," Pippin said, "They didn't know it was us throwing stuff at them. Who they going to blame?"
"It could be anyone else," Merry said.
"Even though you two are known for your pranks and practical jokes," I said incredulously.
"We only do them to people we don't like," Pippin said.
"Or if our friends are in danger," Merry added.
"And even the occasional Fool's Day every first day of each month!" They said simultaneously.
I felt a major sweatdrop forming, but I managed a smile.
"Thanks guys," I said.
"No problem!" Both boys said simultaneously while grinning.
The bell then rang for fourth block to start soon. Pippin & Merry took off running to get to their lockers, while I picked up my stuff. Legolas took back his jacket while blushing. Why would he blush?
"Thank you," I said, "for the jacket."
"You're welcome," he said, looking away for a second.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was trying to hide something. It could be a blush for all I know.
"Come on," he said, picking up his books, "I'll walk you to class."
I nodded, not sure what to say to that. We soon reached Gandalf's classroom, Legolas blushing even more. Is he trying to give himself an aneurysm or something? Seriously...
"I guess this where I take my leave," he said, smiling softly.
"See you later then," I said, about to go into the classroom.
Legolas then looked around to see if someone was near (there wasn't). What the heck is he doing? I then felt gentle lips touch mine for a split second before they were removed. The owner then took off running, blushing like mad.
Did ...he ...just ...do ...what ...I ...think ...he ...just ...did?
Too shocked to write anymore
