A/N: I'm back! Not even my tests can keep me away from concocting the
dialogues for this chapter. Well, have fun because it's Valentine's Day in
the story. If the last chapter sucked, well I meant to show that life isn't
always a bed of roses. And in real life, I'm as athletically disadvantaged
as Niliwen, so don't think that Niliwen is perfect. I also swear, and I
will still swear in this fic. Oh yeah, I hope you liked the peer tutoring
thing-it really works. Also, I read somewhere that chamomile is a good tea.
If the poetry in the later parts is lame-don't flame me. This chapter is
going to be longer, for a change. Anyway, I still don't own anything, not
even the songs. Oh yeah, I own my own characters and the bits of poetry.
Enjoy!
Love is out for keeps
"Well, it's Valentine's day. Not much of a difference to me" Niliwen thought aloud in the Locker Central as she got her things. She, along with Eowyn and Delilah had come to get their things for the day. "Something smells good around my locker" Eowyn noted as she twirled the dial of her padlock. Eowyn was surprised, and happy to see red roses in her locker as she opened it. Then she noticed something glittering in the locker. "Whoa, who could have put all those roses in there?" Niliwen asked. Eowyn reached into her locker and her hand came out clutching a necklace of gold chain, with a heart-shaped pendant with her name engraved in it. "I know Faramir left these in here. He's the only other person aside from me who knows my locker combination. Besides, he left a note" Eowyn said happily as she put on the necklace. "What's the big deal with that? Look what I have: a silk mini skirt, a diamond set of earrings, some dinky cards and a lot of stupid flowers. Undoubtedly left by my fan club" Delilah said sassily. Eowyn and Niliwen rolled their eyes. Delilah gave her locker combination to ANYONE who was cute. "I got zilch, but I don't give a toot about it " Niliwen said. "I'm going to go to Lit class in a while. See you there!" Eowyn said as she picked up her books and left the room.
"Damn, are you sure that the stench is coming from my locker?" Greg asked as he threw his gym bag on the chair. "Yes, and I'm sure that the stench is from that ratty basketball of yours" Frodo said as he opened his own locker- which had cobwebs. "Well, look who's talking" Faramir laughed as he opened his own locker. 'Is it me or is that a jacket I see hanging in the locker?" Frodo asked as he strained his eyes because he could only see the jacket's outline in the darkness. "In that case, it must be my locker" Greg butted in. "I don't think so. This locker has that red marker stain I put on mine last week" Faramir retorted. "Yeah, but who would leave something for you in there?" Greg sneered. "Guys, let's just settle this. We'll see who can name the stuff in there aside from the jacket" Frodo insisted. Faramir rattled off all the books and papers in there. Greg couldn't get anything right. "That concludes that this belongs to Faramir. Let's see where does this jacket hail from" Frodo concluded. Faramir reached in and pulled out a small box of chocolate and a nicely knitted dark blue jacket. "Of course, Eowyn made this. She even left a funny note in the pocket" Faramir noted before he tried on the jacket. "Gosh, why she'd even bother with you?" Greg groaned. "Because she loves him?" Frodo quipped before Greg bopped him with the reeking basketball.
"Faramir!" Professor Gandalf bellowed at his pet student later at Literature class. Faramir looked up from the piece of paper he was reading. "Yes sir?" Faramir asked innocently. "I told you three times to read your poem! I don't care how crazy it is, so don't give me that insanity approach you gave us all last week" Gandalf boomed. "I was on a sugar high" Faramir muttered as he stepped up to the front. Eowyn gave him the thumbs-up sign as he passed by. She smiled when she noticed that he was wearing the jacket that she'd made. After all, she knew his locker combination too.
"Whenever you speak to me, your voice is sweet bells to my ears" Faramir began. Eomer and Lothiriel suppressed their chuckles, since they knew Faramir was talking about Eowyn. Eowyn on the other hand was quite touched but she could hear Delilah seething behind her. Greg was breaking his pencils as he listened to Faramir's recitation. Aragorn and Arwen just sat back watching the scenario with amusement. They were taking the whole day on videotape. "And I always will hold you dear, my lady, the sunshine of my life" Faramir concluded before he scurried back to his seat. "Well..that was interesting. Who is this lady" began Gandalf before the bell rang, saving Faramir and Eowyn the trouble of explaining the whole situation.
"Well, it was very brave of you not to back down. I liked the poem. You are so sweet" Eowyn laughed as Faramir helped her carry some art supplies. "Where are we going?" Faramir questioned. "The wall" Eowyn said. "Why do you like hanging out on that wall, of all places?" Faramir asked. "It's quiet there" Eowyn replied. "Not for long. Looks like our trusty pals have come too" Faramir noted as they approached the low wall. The hobbits were all sitting there, eating cream puffs. "Hi you two!" Pippin greeted when he saw them approach. "Good morning. What have you people been up to?" Eowyn asked as she started her sketching. "Nothing much" Merry said. "Did you know that it's request hour on the campus radio?" asked Estella. "Yeah, and Eomer and Lothiriel are the DJs" Sam said. "Did you request for a song, Eowyn?" Diamond asked. "I did. It should be playing now" Eowyn noted. "Of all songs, you had to pick 'Someday We'll Know'?" Rose asked as she heard the intro. "I also like it" Faramir spoke up, and they could hear the song playing over the speakers. "'Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain''" Eowyn sang to herself softly. "You didn't dedicate it to anyone, did you?" Frodo asked. Eowyn said mischievously "I dedicated it". The hobbits started cracking up, and singing along eventually. Faramir also couldn't help but hum to the beat. Everyone knew to whom the song was dedicated to by now. "Well, watch the fools fall in love" Frodo joked.
"I still can't find that Math book" Faramir told Eowyn as they walked across the park in the university later that afternoon. "Where did you leave it? It's been missing for a week" Eowyn said. "I remember leaving it on a bench, and when I came back for it, it was gone" Faramir remarked. "I bet you couldn't find it in the lost and found cabinets" Eowyn joked. Suddenly, a breeze blew away her scarf and it landed in a bush. Eowyn grabbed her scarf and she saw something in the brush. She parted the foliage and much to her amusement, the notorious Math 101 book was lying on the ground. "Look what I found. Apparently, some cat or dog brought it here" Eowyn remarked as she brushed the snow and mud off the cover. "Thanks for finding it. I was starting to think of faking sick until I got a new book," Faramir said as Eowyn handed him the book and he put it in his jacket pocket. They walked hand in hand in silence until they reached the outskirts of the university. Then, they stopped after they had walked up a small hill, with a perfect view of the mountains to the North-West, the Shire to the East, and from the distance if one had clear eyes, the Misty Mountains. Eowyn had purposefully led Faramir here, because she wanted him to see one of the best views in this side of Eriador. She often liked to come to this spot to be alone, but now was the first time she'd taken a companion with her. "Now you know why I come out here so often," she said. Faramir looked at her and held her hand. "Eowyn, will you go out to dinner with me later?" Faramir asked. Eowyn smiled at him, and a look of wonder crossed her face. "You're asking me out?" she said in astonishment. "You might call it that. After all it's Valentine's Day" Faramir said. "Sure. So what time will we meet?" Eowyn said happily.
Later that day, Eowyn ran about her dormitory room looking for her shoes, while Arwen and Lothiriel looked on the scene. "Aren't you going to put on make-up Eowyn?" Lothiriel asked. "No. We're just going to go to dinner, and I don't wear make-up" Eowyn said as she put on her white shoes. "I'm going to help Eomer out in the Valentine's Day disco party, so I'm wearing some glitter. Where are you going, Arwen?" Lothiriel asked. "Aragorn and I will drop by the film center for a while, and he's going to cook dinner. I hope what I'm wearing looks okay" Arwen replied as she smoothed down her pink blouse and her white skirt. "You look fine. It brings out your eyes. Are any of you going to go to the disco? It's going to be a blast!" Lothiriel said. "Maybe we'll drop by. So, how do I look?" Eowyn asked as she fixed her red dress. "Fine. Why do you like wearing red? If it's not red, it's either white or green" Arwen asked. "I also wear other colors" Eowyn muttered as she brushed her hair.
"Are you sure about the parfait, Eowyn?" Faramir asked when they were about to get dessert later that evening. "Don't worry, I'll still fit in my dress" Eowyn teased. "No, what I mean is if you'll be able to finish the whole thing. I know some people who got indigestion after eating a parfait" Faramir said. "That was because Niliwen, Irilia, and the elves had some ice cream earlier that day" Eowyn retorted. "Whatever you say" Faramir shrugged.
After dropping by the disco for a short time, Faramir and Eowyn ended up stargazing on the dormitory roof. Most of their friends were still out at the disco, so nobody disturbed them up on the roof. "Want some more hot chocolate?" Eowyn asked Faramir after she put down her star chart. "Yes please. How about you?" Faramir replied as Eowyn passed him the flask. "No thanks. I really had too much chocolate for a day" Eowyn said as she looked back up at the clear night sky. "I warned you about the parfait" Faramir joked as Eowyn inched a bit closer to him. "Well, you were right this time" Eowyn said as she smiled up at him. "Thanks for everything today" Faramir said. "Thank you too. I'm glad you're always there for me," Eowyn said. "Do you remember when you asked me about what your loved ones thought of you, and I said that there is nothing about you to be ashamed of?" Faramir asked. "I'm surprised you remembered that. Sometimes I can't believe you said that" Eowyn laughed. "I said that because you're not just my best friend" Faramir said. Thoughts were swirling in his mind. "Should I tell her?" he thought. "You're softening me up. Please, tell me what's really going on," Eowyn said. In her mind, she knew that Faramir had something very important to tell her. "I love you Eowyn" he said softly. "I'm glad I don't have to pick a thousand petals just to reassure myself. After all I've been through with you, I realized one thing. I love you too, Faramir" Eowyn said. "Eowyn, I knew that you loved me even before the day that we met again underneath the sunset" Faramir said as Eowyn snuggled closer to him and held his hand. "For some reason, I never knew what was really between us. Maybe I was blind, but you helped me see" Eowyn whispered. "I just needed to give you some time. I believed that someday, you would understand. Faramir said before he kissed her. Eowyn pulled away after what seemed to be forever. They sat back for a while in silence, just enjoying each other's company. After a while they could hear the disco party letting out, and they knew it was getting late. "I'll see you in the morning then" Faramir told Eowyn as he helped her get back through the hallway window. "Of course. Good night my love. Happy Valentine's Day" Eowyn said before she gave Faramir a quick good-night kiss and went off to her room.
A/N: Okay, that's over with. Well, if this sucked, don't flame me too badly. I need constructive criticism, my teachers are bad enough. Oh well, I'll be writing a drama class chapter next, and it might take some time until it comes-but it won't come as late as the 29th, I promise. It might come next week. Send a review please!
