Summery: Just another high school fic. Read and find out. OK?

**************************************************************************** ****

My name is Jamie. Jamie Shadow. I live at a boarding school. Sure it isn't the most interesting thing that's ever happened in my life. But hey, to me, it's home. And after two torturous months at 'home' with my abusive parents, it's a relief to be back.

I glance at my room assignment. I was with Reesa, Indigo and Emma. Emma was also my best friend, so I was happy.

I lugged my suitcase through the door, said hi to Reesa and Indigo. Emma came forward and we embraced briefly. We were inseparable. We're like sisters. I smiled.

"Hey sis, howz doinz?"

Emma grinned. "Doinz finz." I laughed and began unpacking all of my gear. I piled my underwear and socks into a drawer. Then I turned to Reesa. "Hey Reesa, if you even think about setting me up with someone this year, I'm gonna pick the lock to your private drawer and read your diary." She grinned.

"OK, OK, fine, I solemnly swear not to set you up with anyone."

Indigo smiled, her violet eyes flashing. "That doesn't count me does it?"

I laughed. "OK, if either of you try to set me up with someone I'll read both your diaries." I threatened lightly. Then I turned back to my unpacking. I opened up my private drawer and slipped my diary into it. So as they wouldn't see it.

Reesa wouldn't give up. She had a rather loud conversation with Indigo.

"I heard there are a few new guys coming to the school this year. I wonder if their interesting? And if there'll be Hobbits?"

Oops, I forgot to mention, I'm a Hobbit. I live (or lived) in Midgewood. But that's not important. I wasn't really interested in the conversation and I showed it by sighing loudly. "You just don't give up, do you?"

Emma laughed into her pillow. I glared playfully at her. Then I glanced at my watch. "Guys, it's almost lunch time. Let's go, the cart-ride here gave me a sore behind and an empty stomach, and since you two won't shut up, we'll see if these 'new guys' are here yet."

So we all walked down to the dining hall, giggling madly. Then Emma and I had a race to the door way. I almost got knocked over by Elrond, the Principal of our school.

"Now, now, I know you're eager to start school," He laughed as we made faces. "But you know the rules, no running indoors."

"Sorry, Elrond." We chorused and walked into the hall. I spotted our other friend right away. We got our food and made our way over to 'our' table, which was occupied by our friends Blue (more commonly known as Blutila), Rosie, Arwen and Eowyn.

"Hey guys," I said as I plopped into my seat. "How were your holidays?"

"Pretty good, besides me falling into the creek at the back of our place in Hobbiton." Said Blue, grinning. We all laughed. Then recounted our 'adventures' during the holidays. Elrond and the other teachers, sat at the head table. Elrond stood up and raised his hands for silence.

"As some of you know, we have some new students in our school." He said, he voice carrying over the large hall. "It is time to introduce you to them."

A line of new kids came out of the side parlor.

"This, students, is Legolas Greenleaf." A tall blonde elf smiled at the crowd before him. "Boromir South." (AN, sorry, I don't know the guys last name so I made one up) A tall human stood, with somewhat of a scowl on his face. "Aragorn Strider." A fidgety young human stood, he looked rather nervous. "Gimli Dwarf." The dwarf had long red hair that reached his shoulders. He looked like he hadn't had a wash for a while. "Meriadoc Brandybuck." A hobbit grinned widely at the crowd. "Peregrin Took" The Hobbit next to Meriadoc waved. The crowd tittered. "Samwise Gamgee." A tubby little Hobbit smiled shyly. "And Frodo Baggins." Frodo smiled serenely. "Now, these students are new to the school, so if you see them having trouble, don't hesitate to help them."

The newcomers were invited to different tables and enjoyed the dinner that was served out.

Reesa and Indigo were staring at me. "Ooooh no. No. No. And for good measure, NO!" I said, raising my hands in defence. The girls began to giggle. Then the whole table burst into laughter. I followed and soon we were laughing uproariously.
