Chapter Three

It was about two weeks after Legolas came to Rivendell High, and my friends had finally got me to admit that I did, uh, (like? Is like the right word? Maybe adore, or love. I think love works) that I loved Legolas. I was sitting in the lunchroom with Legolas, we had become friends (it was the closest I could get to my goal), and we were studying for the wilderness survival field trip, with Glorfindel, who planned to keep us on our feet.

Something came flying out of the sky and hit my back; I think it was an orange. "Um, Amriell?" Katherine asked, staring at me. I was very annoyed and sat there; mouth tight, eyes closed and fingers tapping the table. "Does this mean that we are –"

"That's it!" I yelled interrupting her. I leaned over and grabbed a roll, turning around and lobbing it at Niphredil, who had thrown the orange.

"- going to be in a food fight," Katherine said, sighing.

"Duck!" Denera said, grabbing Legolas' shirt and pulling him down with her as a tray went flying overhead. "Amriell! Did you really need to do this again!?"

"Yes," I replied, grabbing an overripe tomato. "They started it."

"Again?" Legolas demanded, still cowering under the table. "What do you mean 'again?'"

"This happened two months ago and the month before that," Carmen said, grabbing a piece of cake and throwing it at the person who had squirted the ketchup on her. Within minutes, food was flying throughout the lunchroom; I don't think anyone got out unscathed.

***

"Another food fight!" Lord Elrond roared, pacing in front of Niphredil and I, who stood in his office. "Amriell! You have perfect grades and yet there is this!"

"She started it, Lord Elrond," I said innocently, pointing at Niphredil.

"I did not such thing!" she shrieked, pouting because her hair was stained with the tomato soup.

"Care to bring in witnesses?" I taunted, I was right and even if I did get in trouble, she would get in more.

"I-I-I- humph!" she protested, folding her arms and pouting. There was no denying that she did it.

"Niphredil? Did you?" Lord Elrond asked.

Niphredil stood, speechless, until I hissed, for her ears only, "tell a lie and I swear by Elbereth that I will shave your head."

"I did what she says I did," Niphredil spat.

"Niphredil, detention for a week. Amriell, you have detention for four days," Lord Elrond said. "You are excused."

We both walked out and headed back to the girl's dorms. "Just for that," Niphredil said. "I'll see you lose Legolas. He's practically smitten with you already, I didn't think you quite realized that, but he is, otherwise he wouldn't spend so much time with a bitch like you."

I stopped in front of my room and stared after her retreating back. "I'm here, I have detention for the next four days," I announced as I waked into our room.

"That sucks," Katherine said.

"Ditto," Carmen agreed.

"It could be worse, last time I had to clean the stables five days in a row," I said, walking into the bathroom.

***

Four days passed, four very boring, very drab days. "I need a life," I muttered quietly, lying on my bed. Just earlier today, I had sort of, well, um, uh, walked out of the library with a book about the Black Speech, one that I didn't intend on returning. I mean, no one used it and it was interesting, I wasn't even supposed to have it. I leaned over the side of my bed, and fished out the book. "This looks interesting," I said and read aloud,

"Ash nazg durbatulûk,

Ash nazg gimbtul,

Ash nazg thrakatulûk

Agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"

I didn't have an idea what this meant, and I intended on finding out. "Oh, here it is," I muttered, reading down the yellowed, dry, cracking page.

"On Ring to rule them all,

One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all-"

"Amriell?" Carmen asked. "What are you doing?"

"Shit!" I squealed and then sat on the book. "Nothing! Nothing at all!"

"You were doing something," she said, looking at me with skepticism.

"I was just talking to myself," I said, smiling weakly.

"Okay, whatever. Did you forget that there's a school dance today?" she asked.

"Dance?" I gulped. "There's a dance? Oh, fuck! There is!" I screamed and in one fluid motion, stood up and threw the book under the bed.

"You still haven't gotten ready," Carmen said dryly. "Denera, Katherine and I are ready, meet you outside in the courtyard."

I took a hurried shower, washed my hair and dressed. I decided to wear the blue skirt and matching top. I applied matching eye shadow, then lip gloss, and took my hair out of the usual braid. I finally decided to put it in a bun and then ran outside.

A/N: Wonder what's going to happen at the dance. Hmm. I already know, poor people. You have to wait. Review and I'll probably make it sooner, reviews motivate me.
