Disclaimer: (which I always, never fail, forget at the first chapter) I own Katherine, Rivendell High, Denera, Carmen, and, of course, I (Amriell.)

Chapter Two

I woke up when a pillow came crashing down on my head. "I'm up!" I yelled.

"Really? I never noticed," Denera said, throwing her pillow aside. "I didn't think you would want to miss breakfast."

"I think I'll actually skip breakfast and stay here," I said, getting up. "See ya."

"Are you trying to starve yourself, Amriell?" Denera asked. "You're already skinny enough."

"No, just resting," I said, grabbing a pair of jeans and a shirt.

"Whatever, but you better have lunch," Denera said and headed out the door.

I took a short shower and then started getting ready for school.

I was brushing my hair when someone knocked on the door. "Good grief," I said under my bread. I didn't think that anyone of my friends would need to knock. They were supposed to have a key, and besides, it wasn't even locked. "It's unlocked!" I yelled. I didn't bother looking at who it was; it had to be one of them. "You could have just come in," I said, staring at my reflection in the mirror and fixing my hair.

"I didn't think you would like it if I did," the person, who was so NOT one of my friends said. Male, familiar and, of shit, it was Legolas.

"Fuck," I mumbled under my breath. I had just made myself look like a complete idiot. "Anything I can help you with?"

"Yeah. I was wondering if I could follow you to the classes, you mentioned that you had the same schedule as me," he said.

"Sure," I said, putting away my brush. "Do you have your stuff?"

"Uh-huh," he replied.

"We have fifteen minutes before we should attempt to leave, giving us five minutes to be late for leaving, five minutes to get to class, and five spare minutes just in case," I told him. "You may wan to sit down." He walked over in my corner; it had my desk, dresser and bed in it, and sat down in a chair and sank until the chair had practically swallowed him up to his waist.

"I should have warned you," I said, suppressing laughter when he attempted to get up out of the chair. "The spring is broken."

"Can I have some help here?" he asked, still struggling.

"Yup I said and walked over to him. I held out my hand, he took it and started to pull himself up. Before I knew it, the chair was knocked over and we were both lying on the floor. Actually, I was lying on my back, and Legolas was well, um lying on me. "Ow," I commented dryly. "I think you may want to move."

"Oops, I think I'm interrupting something," Katherine said, standing in the doorway looking very amused. "I'm just here to get my book, forgot it. I'll be out in a moment and you may resume whatever you were doing."

Legolas and I looked at each other and then turned very red. "Katherine, it's not what it looks like," I said, sighing and pushing Legolas off me.

"Then what is it?"

"An accident," I replied pointing at the chair.

"Like I'm supposed to believe that," she replied and walked out of the room.

"That was embarrassing," Legolas said.

"I noticed. Let's go."

We walked through the halls, talking about nonsense stuff. "We're going to go have a two hour period of 'gym.' It consists mainly of archery, fencing, and riding today. You have a horse, right?" I asked.

"Yeah. Anything else that we do in gym?" he asked.

"Sometimes hand to hand work, occasionally swimming, rock climbing, um, mostly weaponry, and that's it," I said. "I think," I added and smiled.

"What if we aren't that good at fencing?" he asked, cringing.

"You'll live, hopefully you won't get one of the good opponents. That would be Boromir, Faramir, Estel, Éomer, and Éowyn," I said. "Éowyn is the best girl, according to rumor, I'm the second best, I don't believe it."

"Oh. What comes next?" he asked.

"History mixed with language with Gandalf," I said. "My worst subject."

"Is he a hard teacher?" Legolas inquired.

"Yes, the hardest in the school," I said. "We have that for an hour and a half. Help, I'm going to either suffocate or flat out die in there."

"That's bad, I'd be lost without you," Legolas said.

"Really?" I asked. "Are you sure?"

"No."

"Well than," I said. "What brings you all the way from Mirkwood?" I asked. "Why not just stay there?"

"Father wanted me to meet more people my age," Legolas replied. "Where are you from?"

"Lorien," I said.

"What brings you here? It's even farther than Mirkwood," he replied.

"I had nowhere else to go," I said simply, it was a touchy subject.

"What about your family?"

"They were," I paused, this subject hurt. "They were killed by orcs, I was the only one to survive. Me and Elinnor, that is. Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn decided that it was best that I go to Rivendell, I had nothing left there, my home had been burned, my family shot, I had no friends that had not left and so, I was sent to Rivendell."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Legolas, said.

"You shouldn't be, it's done, it's over and there is no changing it," I said bitterly. "Here's the girl's locker room, I need to go. The boy's is down the hall, there's no missing it. It smells terribly."

After we warmed up, and Glorfindel gave us a lecture about fencing, he announced, "You need to have partners." I immediately took a step closer to Katherine, and she took a step closer to me. "I think not, Amriell," Glorfindel said, smiling (it was an evil smile! I swear it was!) "We're going to do this boy girl."

I sighed and gritted my teeth, here we go again. "Estel, Arwen. Boromir, Katherine…"

Katherine turned to me and whispered, "Help me."

"You have my sympathy," I whispered back.

"Faramir, Niphredil. Amriell, new guy-"

"Legolas," Legolas and I said at the same time. There's no escaping him, is there, I said to myself.

We walked off to the practice courts, where other people had already started.

***

After fencing, I beat Legolas five times! HA! Beat that! (Don't mind me.) After fencing, we went down to the stables. "Hello, Elinnor," I said, greeting my horse. She was a gorgeous fiery chestnut. A white star gleamed against her flame red coat on her fore head, earning her the name "Starfire."

She nickered in reply and butted my chest, demanding the treat she knew was in my pocket. I giggled and pulled it out, offering it to her. I groomed and saddled her; we were all going out on a nice little trail ride.

After we rode, we did archery and then, everyone was late to the next class. Legolas and I ran to the history class, "Sorry we're late!" I said, running into the room. "Glorfindel let us out late - "

"Like normal?" Gandalf asked. I nodded and sat down. "You must be Legolas Greenleaf, the new student," Gandalf said, turning towards Legolas, looking quite intimidating. Legolas, took a step back, and ran into a desk. Poor guy, I thought. "You may sit in back, next to Amriell." There is no escaping him, I thought.

"Don't be freaked out by Gandalf," I whispered when he sat down in the desk next to me. "He may look like he can do serious damage, maybe he can, but a teacher can't hurt a student."

"That's some reassurance," Legolas whispered back.

"Psst! Denera!" I hissed, Denera sat next to me. "What are we doing?"

"Page 83 in the language books," she hissed back. "You better stop talking, otherwise Gandalf might break his yard stick over your desk like he did the last time you were talking." With he words, Legolas paled.

"I thought you said he wasn't dangerous," he hissed at me.

"Shut up!" I whispered loudly back. The lesson droned on, a completely boring one about Quenya, which I already know, thank you very much. After that, we went to lunch, and then to our math/science class. Then to our writing and reading class, and then to wilderness survival.

"So, do you want to stop by tomorrow and walk to class?" I asked, Legolas when we stopped off at my room.

"Sure," he said.

I walked in and Denera, Carmen, and Katherine, started clapping. "Good job," Carmen said. "Now that you know him, why not ask him out on a date?"

"I do not want to be Legolas' girlfriend," I said, rolling my eyes and throwing my book bag onto my bed.

"Is that so?" Katherine asked.

"Yeah," I said, nodding my head. "I'm going to dinner, I'm really hungry." There we go, day two with Legolas. Did I mention that the "Wilderness survival" class is taking a month long field trip next month (YAY! No Gandalf!)?
