Amy-Marie tells the story: It's the first day of school. I can't wait because I get to see all my friends again! I also move back into my dorm that I share with my two best friends, Arwen and Eowyn, and don't have to put up with my brother and sister. I was on the back of my father's horse. It has taken three days to get to school. "Amy-Marie!!" exclaimed Pippin. Pippin is one of my friends and he hangs with our group. "Hey Pippin. I missed you," I said as I climbed off the horse. "See you in the new year," said father. I gave father a hug and walked in with Pippin. "So what did you in the holidays?" asked Pippin. "Nothing much. Read and played Elves soccer with the neighbours," I said. "I ate and ate and ate and ate. And then I ate and ate and ate and ate," said Pippin. "Nice holiday," said a voice. It was Faramir another guy in our group. He and Legolas were rated the sexiest last year. "Hey Faramir. Did you eat a lot during your holiday?" I asked sarcastically. "No I worked out and played soccer," said Faramir. "I wish I could stick around but I've gotta get to my dorm," I said. "We'll see you downstairs for gathering," said Faramir.

I walked up the stairs to the dorm rooms. Mine is up on the top level this year. All senior students are up top. "Amy-Marie! Over here!" exclaimed Arwen. I walked over to our room. "Eowyn isn't here yet, so choose which part of the room you want," said Arwen. "Alright. I'll choose. . this one," I chose the bed by the window. "That's like the one you chose last year," said Arwen. "I like sleeping near a window. I feel safe," I said. I unpacked my bag. "So. Are you going after Merry this year?" asked Arwen. I looked up from my bag. "Why would you think I'm going for Merry?" I asked really shocked. "Because you said at the end of last year, you said you were going after him this year," said Arwen. "Did I? I can't even remember saying that," I said as I was folding up my shirt. "I remember," said a voice. "Eowyn!!" exclaimed Arwen. We stopped what we were doing and gave her a hug. "Amy-Marie, you've dated everyone else and you said that you liked Merry because he was your favourite. You said that your mission was to get Merry back this year after he dumped you for Estella," said Eowyn. "Just think Amy. You were the first person in our group to date all the guys," said Arwen. "Is he back yet?" I asked. "I saw him just as I entered but do you know what else I heard? A fair elf, named Legolas whose our leader, likes a fair girl named Amy-Marie," said Eowyn. "AHHHH! I have two guys after me!" I exclaimed. "We'll suss out the hobbit first. Crap let's get down to Gathering," said Arwen

Gathering was always in Lady Galadriel's huge hall. "Eowyn, Arwen, Amy!" exclaimed Legolas. He was the leader of the whole group. There were three seats left. The first one was next to Merry. So Eowyn sat in the middle, Arwen sat on the end and I sat next to Merry. "Thanks," I whispered to the girls, they giggled. I crossed my arms and slumped in my chair. "Hi Amy," whispered Merry just as Galadriel started talking. "Hi Merry. How are you?" I asked. "Good. How were your holidays? Mine were boring," he said. "I played soccer with the elves and read," I said. "Merry and Amy. You can talk at the orientation afternoon tea if you don't mind," said Gandalf. I slumped back in my seat and rolled my eyes. Here we go again, getting into trouble again.

After gathering, we went outside to meet the new students. Legolas came over to Eowyn and I. "We are going to the huge tree instead of being here," he said, "Are you coming?" "Yes, please. These new people look like they'll be hanging with TGA," I said. TGA is another name for The Geeks Association. Faramir's brother, Boromir, is their gang leader. We put down our drinks and went over to the huge tree. It's our tree and it is at the back of the school. No one (apart from us) goes there. Everyone else was there when Eowyn and I arrived. "Are you going to get Merry?" whispered Eowyn. "I don't know," I whispered back, "I'll suss him out first. I'll se what he's like." "Come on girls," said Aragorn. I climbed up to where the hobbits were. Quite frankly, I like the hobbits better than Eomer and Faramir put together. "Hey Amy," said all of them except for Merry. He sort of sat back. "Hullo. What are we talking about?" I asked. "Pippin is telling us his holiday," said Frodo, "It's so fascinating." "He told me it when we were walking in this morning," I said. I looked up at Merry. He was looking at his trousers. So I continued talking. "Well. I think this year I might try out for the Cheerleading team again. And I'll probably try out for Totem Tennis," I said. "Yeah. I think most of us are playing totem tennis this season," said Frodo, "Except for Sam." "What about you Merry?" I asked, hopefully trying to get his attention. "Um. I don't know. Maybe I might," he said still looking at his trousers. What was he looking at? I looked. oh my gosh!! "I'm just going to find Arwen for a minute," I said. I climbed down the tree. "Arwen. Come here," I said. She stopped talking to Eomer and climbed down. "Eowyn. Come here," I said. She stopped talking to Faramir and climbed down. "What's wrong?" the both asked as we moved away. "I was talking to the hobbits and Merry wouldn't talk to me. So I was telling them that I might do cheerleading and totem tennis. So I asked Merry if he was doing totem tennis but he said he didn't know. He kept looking at his trousers and I looked and. oh my god!" I exclaimed. "You don't mean he got a." trailed off Eowyn. "Yep." "Oh my gosh!!" "Amy. He obviously likes you then. What are you going to do?" asked Arwen. "I don't know. I mean he obviously gets thingy everytime I talk to him or everytime I'm around," I said. "Tell him how you feel about him. We can't the other guys because they'll tease him and he gets embarrassed easily," said Eowyn, "Just go back up there and sit with him. See how it goes and then come and tell us what happen." "Great Idea. Let's go back so I can talk to him," I said. We linked arms and walked to the tree.

"Where have you been?" asked Legolas as he walked over to us. "Talking, girl talk," I said. He smiled. "What's wrong with you?" asked Arwen. "Yeah! What's up your ass?" asked Eowyn. "Nothin' is up me ass and I'm just happy," said Legolas looking at me and smiling. I looked at Arwen and Eowyn. "We've gotta go," said Eowyn, she was pulling Arwen and I along. "I thought we were going back so I could talk to Merry," I said. "Don't you get it? Legolas is after you as well," said Arwen. "Amy. You've got two guys after you!!" said Eowyn excitedly. Now I was confused. I like Merry and I like Legolas. I sat on the grass. "Legolas is the most popular guy at this school. I've been out with him once. Merry I've been out with him three times," I said still confused. "You don't have to make a decision right away," said Arwen, "Oh hey Sam." "Hey gals. Faramir wanted me to give you this," said Sam and handed a piece of paper to each of us. It was the seniors' welcome party. It was to be held tomorrow night for seniors only. "Outside underneath the bright and clear stars. Everyone must R.S.V.P by first period tomorrow morning," said Eowyn. "You ladies going to go," came Legolas' voice. He looked over at me. "I might consider it, fair Legolas. But right now, I might consider going up my dorm if you don't mind," I said. I slid my hand across Legolas' stomach and walked off.

Everything was in its place and it was all neat. I decided to read one of the book series I had been reading all summer. But I wasn't paying attention to the book. I was thinking about my predicament. Here's what the guys are like: Legolas Greenleaf: The most popular guy at Lothlorien High. He and Faramir were rated Sexiest last year. All the girls that don't hang around our group love him and worship him. He's cocky and thinks his shit doesn't stink. Meriadoc Brandybuck: Even though he's popular, he's quiet. All the girls love him too. He' was rated the most handsome hobbit at our school. He's smart and is a champion at sword fighting. Both boys were quite popular among the girls. I sat up and looked out the window. I could see TGA sitting at their table socialising about something. I could see some of the in between groups staring at the boys playing soccer. It looks like Merry and Legolas had soccer practice. "Amy," said Eowyn. I jumped hearing her voice. "Hey. What's up?" I asked. "Well you are part of the girls soccer team and we have practice in five minutes. So get in your gear and what are you looking at?" asked Eowyn. She looked out to the oval. I blushed. "Hey. Just think two gorgeous guys are after you and tomorrow night you can get with one of them," said Eowyn. I quickly changed shirts and took off my skirt in exchange for my shorts. I pulled my socks up to my knees and I put my boots on. "Let's go already," said Arwen racing up the stairs, "Come on. My dad is waiting for us!"

We raced downstairs and ran out onto the oval where the boys were finishing up. "Have fun girls'! We're going to watch you," said Eomer. "Please don't!" I said. "Yep. We wanna see if you're better than us," said Legolas in his cocky voice. "I wouldn't count on it," said Arwen. "Good luck, Amy. I know it's only practice but I don't want anything bad to happen to you," said Merry. "Thanks Merry. That's very thoughtful of you," I said and glared at Legolas. Arwen, Eowyn and I linked arms and walked off. "You watch, because the assholes are watching us, I'm going to stuff up really bad," I whispered. "You won't. But it is a good way to strut your stuff," said Eowyn. I shook my head just as Lord Elrond called us over. The boys sat on the grass. "Come on Girls! Strut your stuff for us!!" exclaimed Aragorn. Arwen, Eowyn and I blushed. There were some girls on our team who don't hang around with us and they were giggling at Aragorn. "Girls. We're going to work on kicking for goal. Eowyn you can be goal keeper and the rest of line up," said Elrond. Eowyn put on her protective gear and stood in front of goal. Faramir whistled out to her and she blushed. Arwen lined up first and she kicked it right into Eowyn's hands. "Bad Luck Arwen!" exclaimed Pippin holding up his pipe. It was my turn next. I kicked it and it flew over Eowyn's head and went into the goals. "Your are a pro, Amy!" exclaimed Legolas. "Nice kick, Amy!" said Merry. Oh shit, I thought.

"Ok girls, that's it for today. You may go," said Lord Elrond. I walked over to the refreshment stand. I picked up my drink bottle and sat down on the grass. I was drinking out of my drink bottle and Legolas came over. "I must admit. You're better than me," said Legolas as he sat down. "Why do you say that?" I asked pouring water all over my face and hair. Legolas stared at me as the water was running down my face. "Um. because you kicked like heaps of goals. You match up to Aragorn's standards," said Legolas. "Thanks. Anyway, I better go. Eowyn and Arwen will wonder where I am. See you at dinner," I said. "Wait Amy. Are you going tomorrow night?" asked Legolas. I stopped and looked at him. "Why?" "Just want to know," he said. "Yeah. I'll probably go," I said. He smiled and I waved goodbye. I walked near the trees when I heard another voice. "Hullo Amy," I looked up and saw Merry standing near one of the trees. "Hullo Merry," I said. "You're a very good soccer player. I admire your skills," said Merry. "Thanks. Well I've only just started to become interested in soccer," I said. "Well. Your um. very good," he said. "Thanks Merry." "I've gotta go," he said quickly. I giggled. I knew why he had to leave.

I'll probably update later. Review pulease!!!!!
