Day two, the 8th of Halimath, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Elenya, the 29th of Yávie (Iavas), 2984 T.A. (Calendar of Imladris)
Dear diary,
I overslept. Again. Dammit. It was only an hour, but still. I quickly got up and put on my favorite dress, a long dress, reaching the floor, sky- blue. It's tight at the top and a little wide at the bottom and, well. it's just gorgeous. and it fits perfectly, just like all other elven clothes. I put on my cloak over it.
Good thing I already paid the innkeeper last night, so I can leave right away. I rushed downstairs to the stables and saddled Alka. Like all other female High-elves I ride sidesaddle(and sometimes without a saddle), so wearing a dress is no problem at all. Come to think of it, all female High- elves ride sidesaddle because they never wear anything but dresses. Ah well.
I mounted Alka and we rode of quickly. Alka felt it was important because she was at a great speed, I think she even went twice as fast as yesterday. okay, maybe not twice as fast, but incredibly fast anyway. I made it to Rivendell being only 15 minutes late. Alka rushed past the classrooms in a hurry, so I didn't get the time to check them out. not like I had time, but still.
An elf was standing in front of the stables and I dismounted. He showed me Alka's place and then he led me to the principal's office.
The principal is a wizard named Mithrandir, and he's very nice. First he welcomed me to the school, and then he told me some rules. Not really interesting. Then he gave me a map of the campus and my schedule, and he told me which class I'm in and in which room I'm staying. Then I asked him about the midgets in the Shire. He explained to me that they are hobbits, or Perianni in Quenya. He also told me about another kind of midgets, dwarfs or Naugrim. They have beards. Remember that. midgets with curls are hobbits and a little taller midgets with beards are dwarfs. okay, got it!
After my talk with the principal I went to my room and quickly dumped my bags in a corner, I'll check things out later. Then I brushed my hair quickly, I was late anyway, and without thinking I put my hood back on, and left to find my class.
When I found it I was 20 minutes late. I took a deep breath and opened the door. All faces turned at me in wonder. I hate being the center of attention, just great.
'May I ask who is disturbing my class? And take off your hood when you're speaking, please.' The teacher said.
I blushed when I realized I had my cloak still on, but fortunately nobody saw. I suddenly felt as if I had ended up in some sort of movie or something, and that I was the main character. Almost dramatically slow I moved my hands towards my hood and put it down. Some guy whistled, and one of the humans just stared at me with open mouth. Doesn't he know it's rude to stare?
'I am Elvealauregaladriel Aure' I started.
'WHAT?!!!' everybody except the teacher yelled.
I smiled very faintly, this always happens when I tell my full name. 'Elvea for short. I came here because my parents want me to meet people of my age.'
'Take a seat.' the teacher said. 'I am Gildor and I'll be your mentor the coming year.'
I took a look around the class. There was only one seat left, way in the back, to the right of a very handsome elf. I put my books on the table when he started speaking.
'Just great! Now I'm stuck between peasants!' he said. The girl to his left grinned. Obviously fancies him, if not dating him.
'And who in Eru's name do you think you are?' I responded.
'Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood, and you are a mere subject.'
I started laughing, he really had no idea who he was talking to. I decided to put him back in his place.
'Nice to meet you. I'm the princess of Laurelindrian in the Blessed Realm. That makes me a High-elf, and you're a Silvan elf. If I'm not mistaking that makes you my subject and not the other way around.' I had to stop myself from sticking out my tongue, even though it would've suited the situation.
'You go girl!' a girl somewhere in the front of the class shouted. Oops. didn't realize everyone had been listening. normally I don't speak about myself like that, I hate being arrogant, but now it was just to get back at Legolas... I sat down. Legolas muttered something under his breath, but I didn't quite catch his words.
'If there are no further interruptions I would like to go on with the class.' Gildor said.
And that's how my very first class ever started, History of Middle-Earth next to an arrogant elf-prince. could've been worse I guess. Gildor just kept blabbering on about this Dark Lord and his Ruling Ring that was still missing because some silly human didn't destroy it. Like that's ever going to matter again.
After History we had Quenya, but nothing interesting happened there. After Quenya we had a short break, and I went to my room to dump my cloak. The girl that had sat to the left of Legolas followed me.
'Hey, Elvea, wait a sec.' She said.
'What is it?'
'You don't have to be such a bitch against Legolas you know. Just because we're below your stance doesn't mean you're better then we are. I for one think that we "peasants" as you call us are much better then you are. I'd rather be a peasant then a stuck up princess like you.' She turned around.
'I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I'm not really like this you know.'
'Sure you're not.'
'Really. He's the one that started it.'
'Ah man, that's ironic! He started that against me to, and we're really good friends now.'
'And more, am I right?'
'What?'
'You're dating him, aren't you?'
'No, of course not, we're just friends. You know, I ended up next to Legolas kind of the same way you did. I was late too, and I could choose, left or right of him.'
'You chose right.'
'Right. That way he won't be able to "accidentally'" bump into my elbow when I'm writing.' We laughed. 'You know, Legolas isn't that bad when you get to know him really. You should try to talk to him sometime.'
'But I'd better not come too close.'
'Exactly.'
'So you do like him.'
'He's a nice guy.' She said. 'And if anyone finds out I said this to you, you'll find yourself 5 feet under the ground next time you wake up.' We laughed again.
'I'll try to remember that.' I said.
'You'd better, for your own health.'
'See you in class.'
'See you.'
I left the room and got a drink from the vending machine. I had just finished it when the bell rang. The next class was a double hour of watersports by an elf named Glorfindel. He's the kind of teacher half of the girls in school fall in love with. Tall, walking up straight, shining golden hair, keen and bright eyes full of joy, a young and handsome face, a voice like music (just like most elves) and a strong hand. He's like the perfect elf, and he somehow seemed familiar. I'll ask him about that later.
'You must be the new girl.' he said, smiling at me. For some reason I felt the urge to shudder, but I didn't. Why was he looking at me as if.? It's probably just my imagination though.
'Elvea Aure.'
'Welcome to Imladris.' He said, turning around walking towards the water. He was walking a bit. poncy.
'Anyone ever tell you that you walk like a girl?' I shouted after him.
He turned around. 'Not that I can remember.'
'Well, you do.' The class started laughing.
He walked back to me. 'You have a nice sense of humor, Miss Aure, but you're still going to be in detention for an hour this afternoon.'
I shrugged. Whatever. the ego of Mr. Poncy probably got damaged or something. men.
We had another break after watersports, and I sat at a table with two half- elven girls, Annunruthiel and Haealdaiel. I think they're both in class F:d, but I'm not sure. Very nice girls all the same. I said bye as I stood up to get my books for the next two classes. A mortal guy from my class came walking towards me. I must say he is very handsome.
'Hi, I'm Vebor.' he said.
'Elvea.'
'Anyone ever tell you you're beautiful?'
I was flattered, but I didn't answer. Oh sure, back home I had heard it time after time from High-elven princes that asked for my hand and other guys, but I don't like to talk about such things to others. He put his arm around me. I let him, I didn't really mind, after all, he is gorgeous.
'Shall I help you find your room?' he asked.
'Would be great.'
We reached my room and I went in, leaving Vebor behind. I got my books and left my room again. He was still standing there.
'How nice that you waited for me.' I said, and I meant that. Mostly I'm just being sarcastic, but this guy really seemed nice.
'Well, I'm not going to let my reward slip away that easily.' he grinned.
'What reward?'
'You.' he pulled me towards him and tried to kiss me. I kicked him under the belt, and ran.
'What? You're too good for me or something?' he shouted after me, gasping for breath.
'You're damn right, I'm too good for you!!!' I yelled back.
The next two hours were pretty boring actually. Vebor took some time to call me some very nasty names, but I used a little spell and he fell face forward in a pile of manure, in front of everybody. That should teach him. Hey, I'm not the Goddess of Vengeance for nothing.
I spent the last lunchbreak on my own at a quiet spot in one of the gardens. Annunruthiel had asked if I wanted to sit with her and Haealdaiel again, but I'm really more of a loner, I like to spend some time just being all by myself. It gives me time to think. Right now I only thought of home, I missed my best friend Tarcristiel. She was another High-elven princess, and we grew up together.
But she got married a couple of months ago and didn't want to leave. I didn't have any real friends here yet, except maybe the beginning of a friendship with Annunruthiel and Haealdaiel. After the break we only had an hour of homeroom from Gildor. More blabbering, this time about freshmen's camp next week.
After homeroom I went back to my room to check things out. All beds were taken. Where was my bed then? Just then, Endomiel walked in.
'Which bed is mine?' I asked.
'That one' she said, pointing at a bed filled with junk.
'Aren't you going to clean up your stuff?'
'Uhm. no.'
'Okay, whatever.' I snapped my fingers and the junk was gone.
'What the?' Endomiel snapped her fingers and the junk returned.
'How.?'
'Do you happen to be the-?' Endomiel started, but then the other girls walked in. They saw the problem and removed their stuff.
'Hi, I'm Elvea.' I said.
'Arwen.'
'Rosie.'
'Éowyn.'
'Elanor.' I shook their hands.
'Welcome to G1.' Endomiel said.
I unpacked my bags, and since it wasn't dinnertime yet, I decided to explore the campus a little. I was walking on a bridge towards the forest when someone started shouting at me.
'Hey! Hey you! Elf-girl!'
I turned around. A human came running towards me. It was the guy that had been staring at me this morning. I waited 'til he caught up with me.
'Didn't they tell you freshmen can't enter the forest alone?' he asked.
'Oh, I'm pretty sure I can do that, it's just not allowed.'
We started laughing. He's cute when he laughs. am I a Lúthien-wannabe now?
'Éomer.' he said, sticking out his hand.
'Elvea.' we shook hands.
'So what were you doing wandering here all alone?'
'Exploring the campus'
'I can give you a tour if you want.'
'Really?'
'Sure.' he said, and we started walking, Éomer explaining things and telling all kinds of stories. After a while we entered the gardens.
'That's our spot' Éomer said, pointing at a certain point of the lawn.
'Our spot?'
'Me and my friends spend all of our breaks there.'
'Oh, right. looks nice.'
'It is. But don't eat the mushrooms!'
'Why not?'
'Ask Endy. She says it makes you see butterflies and stuff.'
We started laughing again. The rest of the tour pretty much ended up in joking around, and then we realized we were late for dinner. We quickly went to the dining hall, 30 minutes late. Good thing dinner is 2 hours.
'Do you want to sit with me and my friends?' Éomer asked.
'Yeah, sure.'
We took a tray and got some "food", and then we sat down at the table with the others. I could guess by their faces what they were thinking of us. I lost my ability to read minds when I got an elven body, along with some other abilities, but I didn't need it to guess their thoughts this time. Endomiel was there too. She stared at me with the question written all over her face: "What have you two been doing?"
I stuck my hand out to the guy on my opposite.
'Hi, I'm Elvea.'
'Estel.'
I introduced myself to the rest of the people at the table. My hand still hurts from all the hand-shaking. Faramir, Boromir, Elladan, Elrohir, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Himath, Mimosa. I hope I don't forget all their names. my other roomies were also there.
'So big bro, what have you two been doing?' Éowyn asked after I had introduced myself to everyone. Éomer blushed slightly, I couldn't help noticing it. Now why would he do that? He didn't look like he was going to answer so I answered instead.
'He gave me a tour around the campus'
'Suuuuuuuure. I bet you guys didn't get very far.' Arwen said.
'Are you suggesting we were making out somewhere?'
'Well, the signs are obvious. You guys were 30 minutes late, I mean. now THAT'S suspicious!'
'I wish we were!' Éomer joked, and we all laughed.
After that we all started talking in small groups. I talked to Éomer and his best friend Faramir. Actually Faramir did most of the talking. Doesn't he ever shut up? I quickly finished my dinner and used it as an excuse to leave, and to give my ears some rest from Faramir's talking about Gondor and its entire history. As I got up Éomer followed my lead.
'Do you want me to walk you to your room?' he asked.
The others gave each other a short look and then started shouting. 'Elvea and Éomer, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!' Seriously, how old are they?
'Sure' I said, ignoring the others.
We left the dining hall.
'So Éowyn is your kid sister?' I asked.
'Yep, she's okay. for a girl that is.'
'Oh?'
'So are you. so are you!' he quickly added.
'Thanks.'
'You're welcome anytime.'
'So uhm. how old are you? I mean. most people in our class are 15, but Éowyn's 15 and you're in the same class as she is.'
'I'm sixteen.'
'So am I. if you ignore the two zero's in my age, that is.' I said, and we laughed. He's so cute! No, I don't like him. I'm not a Lúthien-wannabe. Am not. Am not. Yes I am, dammit! No, I'm not. Or am I? HELP!!!
'If I wouldn't know better I'd say you're a human'
'What do you mean?'
'Well, you're they only Elf I've ever seen with green eyes and curls.'
'And?'
'Nothing.'
'Are you sure about that?'
'Yes. no. it looks good on you. very good even. it's pretty. very pretty.' he said, and his face turned red again. Really red. Cute, really cute, guys who blush. I mean it. Butterflies went flying around in my belly. Dammit. I don't want to be a Lúthien-wannabe! Although Éomer is worth an exception. NO!!! I'm not in love with him. I think. I mean, come on! It's my first day in school!
'Thanks' I said. We stood still before the door of my room.
'See you tomorrow?'
'Guess so.' I said as I opened the door.
'Elvy?'
'Yes?'
'I can call you Elvy, can I?'
'Of course, go ahead'
'I uhm. I think uhm. never mind.' He said and quickly turned around, walking to his own room. Damn, now I wish I could still read minds. Blasted elven body and its limited abilities. I'll get them back sooner or later as I grow in this body. I hope.
I entered the room and sat down on my bed. Just a few seconds after me the other girls walked in. I wondered if they had followed us.
'Elvy? He can call you Elvy? That was pretty cute!' Rosie said. Yup, they followed us alright.
'You like him, don't you?' Elanor followed.
'Who?' I asked.
'Oh come on! Éomer, my big brother!' Éowyn went on. I forced myself not to blush.
'No I don't.' I said.
'Yes you do. you most certainly do. You like him and he likes you. a lot! We saw the way you two looked at eachother.' Arwen joined in.
'Yes. no. it looks good on you. very good even. it's pretty. very pretty.' Rosie said, imitating Éomer's voice. 'So SWEET!!!'
'Oh please, do I look like a Lúthien-wannabe?' I responded, still trying not to get a face more red than a tomato.
'As a matter of fact, yes.' Endomiel answered. I laughed and threw my pillow at her. Before any of us realized it, we were in a major pillow- fight, laughing and screaming of fun, trying to dodge the pillows.
'What is going on in here?' A voice outside the room suddenly said. We all fell silent. Endomiel opened the door. It was Mithrandir.
'My goodness, what a mess!' he said looking around the room. 'Keep the noise down a bit, ladies.' he added and left.
We all sighed relieved. Boy, had we been lucky. We cleaned up the mess a bit, and then I remembered that I still had to talk to Legolas. I was lucky. He came out of his room just when I opened the door. He saw me and started walking, ignoring me.
'Legolas! Wait up!' I shouted.
He continued walking, so I sprinted after him. I caught up with him easily.
'Legolas, listen. I want to talk to you.'
'Well I don't want to talk to you' he answered as he stopped walking.
'I want to apologize'
'What? You want to apologize to a subject?'
'You heard me, I'm sorry.'
'Are you sure you want to talk to a subject?' he said with a sneer.
'Look, I said sorry, okay? Besides, if I wouldn't talk to subjects I wouldn't have anybody to talk to around here'
'You mean that everybody is a subject to you around here?'
'Yes'
'Including the teachers?'
I nodded.
'This doesn't make it alright, do you realize that?'
'Hey, I said sorry and I meant that. Let's just start over okay? I'm Elvea.'
'Legolas.' he doubtingly stuck out his hand. I took his hand and I shook it.
'Nice to meet you. And I mean it this time.'
'Thanks' he started walking again.
'So you're not mad at me anymore?' I shouted after him.
'I'll think about it!' he shouted back, and I just knew he was grinning. I sighed relieved. That was one thing I didn't have to worry about anymore.
'I'll see you tomorrow!' I shouted.
'Do I have to?!' his voice came from around the corner. I walked back to my room, I was very tired, it had been a long day after all. I'm off to bed now.
Just remembered something. I forgot to go to detention. oops.
Kisses, Elvy. NO WAIT!!! Elvea. it's Elvea.
Kisses, Elvea. hmmm. I like Elvy too. oh crap!
Kisses, Elvealauregaladriel. no wait, have to add my last name as well.
Kisses, Elvealauregaladriel Aure. there, I said it. Good night! I'm off dreaming about. no I'm not. yes I am. Am not. Am not. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! I'm not in love. Nope. See? Good. Oh right, I'm going to bed.
Kisses(again), Elvy. oh no! I did it again! Dammit!
Kisses. See, works a whole lot better without name.
A/N: No, I'm not in love with Éomer.!!! I think. or am I? You tell me. Anyways, R&R please.
Disclaimer: No LotR, but some other characters like myself. oh and my sunglasses cuz I don't see too much at the moment. never mind.

I shrugged. Whatever. the ego of Mr. Poncy probably got damaged or something. men.
We had another break after watersports, and I sat at a table with two half- elven girls, Annunruthiel and Haealdaiel. I think they're both in class F:d, but I'm not sure. Very nice girls all the same. I said bye as I stood up to get my books for the next two classes. A mortal guy from my class came walking towards me. I must say he is very handsome.
'Hi, I'm Vebor.' he said.
'Elvea.'
'Anyone ever tell you you're beautiful?'
I was flattered, but I didn't answer. Oh sure, back home I had heard it time after time from High-elven princes that asked for my hand and other guys, but I don't like to talk about such things to others. He put his arm around me. I let him, I didn't really mind, after all, he is gorgeous.
'Shall I help you find your room?' he asked.
'Would be great.'
We reached my room and I went in, leaving Vebor behind. I got my books and left my room again. He was still standing there.
'How nice that you waited for me.' I said, and I meant that. Mostly I'm just being sarcastic, but this guy really seemed nice.
'Well, I'm not going to let my reward slip away that easily.' he grinned.
'What reward?'
'You.' he pulled me towards him and tried to kiss me. I kicked him under the belt, and ran.
'What? You're too good for me or something?' he shouted after me, gasping for breath.
'You're damn right, I'm too good for you!!!' I yelled back.
The next two hours were pretty boring actually. Vebor took some time to call me some very nasty names, but I used a little spell and he fell face forward in a pile of manure, in front of everybody. That should teach him. Hey, I'm not the Goddess of Vengeance for nothing.
I spent the last lunchbreak on my own at a quiet spot in one of the gardens. Annunruthiel had asked if I wanted to sit with her and Haealdaiel again, but I'm really more of a loner, I like to spend some time just being all by myself. It gives me time to think. Right now I only thought of home, I missed my best friend Tarcristiel. She was another High-elven princess, and we grew up together.
But she got married a couple of months ago and didn't want to leave. I didn't have any real friends here yet, except maybe the beginning of a friendship with Annunruthiel and Haealdaiel. After the break we only had an hour of homeroom from Gildor. More blabbering, this time about freshmen's camp next week.
After homeroom I went back to my room to check things out. All beds were taken. Where was my bed then? Just then, Endomiel walked in.
'Which bed is mine?' I asked.
'That one' she said, pointing at a bed filled with junk.
'Aren't you going to clean up your stuff?'
'Uhm. no.'
'Okay, whatever.' I snapped my fingers and the junk was gone.
'What the?' Endomiel snapped her fingers and the junk returned.
'How.?'
'Do you happen to be the-?' Endomiel started, but then the other girls walked in. They saw the problem and removed their stuff.
'Hi, I'm Elvea.' I said.
'Arwen.'
'Rosie.'
'Éowyn.'
'Elanor.' I shook their hands.
'Welcome to G1.' Endomiel said.
I unpacked my bags, and since it wasn't dinnertime yet, I decided to explore the campus a little. I was walking on a bridge towards the forest when someone started shouting at me.
'Hey! Hey you! Elf-girl!'
I turned around. A human came running towards me. It was the guy that had been staring at me this morning. I waited 'til he caught up with me.
'Didn't they tell you freshmen can't enter the forest alone?' he asked.
'Oh, I'm pretty sure I can do that, it's just not allowed.'
We started laughing. He's cute when he laughs. am I a Lúthien-wannabe now?
'Éomer.' he said, sticking out his hand.
'Elvea.' we shook hands.
'So what were you doing wandering here all alone?'
'Exploring the campus'
'I can give you a tour if you want.'
'Really?'
'Sure.' he said, and we started walking, Éomer explaining things and telling all kinds of stories. After a while we entered the gardens.
'That's our spot' Éomer said, pointing at a certain point of the lawn.
'Our spot?'
'Me and my friends spend all of our breaks there.'
'Oh, right. looks nice.'
'It is. But don't eat the mushrooms!'
'Why not?'
'Ask Endy. She says it makes you see butterflies and stuff.'
We started laughing again. The rest of the tour pretty much ended up in joking around, and then we realized we were late for dinner. We quickly went to the dining hall, 30 minutes late. Good thing dinner is 2 hours.
'Do you want to sit with me and my friends?' Éomer asked.
'Yeah, sure.'
We took a tray and got some "food", and then we sat down at the table with the others. I could guess by their faces what they were thinking of us. I lost my ability to read minds when I got an elven body, along with some other abilities, but I didn't need it to guess their thoughts this time. Endomiel was there too. She stared at me with the question written all over her face: "What have you two been doing?"
I stuck my hand out to the guy on my opposite.
'Hi, I'm Elvea.'
'Estel.'
I introduced myself to the rest of the people at the table. My hand still hurts from all the hand-shaking. Faramir, Boromir, Elladan, Elrohir, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Himath, Mimosa. I hope I don't forget all their names. my other roomies were also there.
'So big bro, what have you two been doing?' Éowyn asked after I had introduced myself to everyone. Éomer blushed slightly, I couldn't help noticing it. Now why would he do that? He didn't look like he was going to answer so I answered instead.
'He gave me a tour around the campus'
'Suuuuuuuure. I bet you guys didn't get very far.' Arwen said.
'Are you suggesting we were making out somewhere?'
'Well, the signs are obvious. You guys were 30 minutes late, I mean. now THAT'S suspicious!'
'I wish we were!' Éomer joked, and we all laughed.
After that we all started talking in small groups. I talked to Éomer and his best friend Faramir. Actually Faramir did most of the talking. Doesn't he ever shut up? I quickly finished my dinner and used it as an excuse to leave, and to give my ears some rest from Faramir's talking about Gondor and its entire history. As I got up Éomer followed my lead.
'Do you want me to walk you to your room?' he asked.
The others gave each other a short look and then started shouting. 'Elvea and Éomer, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!' Seriously, how old are they?
'Sure' I said, ignoring the others.
We left the dining hall.
'So Éowyn is your kid sister?' I asked.
'Yep, she's okay. for a girl that is.'
'Oh?'
'So are you. so are you!' he quickly added.
'Thanks.'
'You're welcome anytime.'
'So uhm. how old are you? I mean. most people in our class are 15, but Éowyn's 15 and you're in the same class as she is.'
'I'm sixteen.'
'So am I. if you ignore the two zero's in my age, that is.' I said, and we laughed. He's so cute! No, I don't like him. I'm not a Lúthien-wannabe. Am not. Am not. Yes I am, dammit! No, I'm not. Or am I? HELP!!!
'If I wouldn't know better I'd say you're a human'
'What do you mean?'
'Well, you're they only Elf I've ever seen with green eyes and curls.'
'And?'
'Nothing.'
'Are you sure about that?'
'Yes. no. it looks good on you. very good even. it's pretty. very pretty.' he said, and his face turned red again. Really red. Cute, really cute, guys who blush. I mean it. Butterflies went flying around in my belly. Dammit. I don't want to be a Lúthien-wannabe! Although Éomer is worth an exception. NO!!! I'm not in love with him. I think. I mean, come on! It's my first day in school!
'Thanks' I said. We stood still before the door of my room.
'See you tomorrow?'
'Guess so.' I said as I opened the door.
'Elvy?'
'Yes?'
'I can call you Elvy, can I?'
'Of course, go ahead'
'I uhm. I think uhm. never mind.' He said and quickly turned around, walking to his own room. Damn, now I wish I could still read minds. Blasted elven body and its limited abilities. I'll get them back sooner or later as I grow in this body. I hope.
I entered the room and sat down on my bed. Just a few seconds after me the other girls walked in. I wondered if they had followed us.
'Elvy? He can call you Elvy? That was pretty cute!' Rosie said. Yup, they followed us alright.
'You like him, don't you?' Elanor followed.
'Who?' I asked.
'Oh come on! Éomer, my big brother!' Éowyn went on. I forced myself not to blush.
'No I don't.' I said.
'Yes you do. you most certainly do. You like him and he likes you. a lot! We saw the way you two looked at eachother.' Arwen joined in.
'Yes. no. it looks good on you. very good even. it's pretty. very pretty.' Rosie said, imitating Éomer's voice. 'So SWEET!!!'
'Oh please, do I look like a Lúthien-wannabe?' I responded, still trying not to get a face more red than a tomato.
'As a matter of fact, yes.' Endomiel answered. I laughed and threw my pillow at her. Before any of us realized it, we were in a major pillow- fight, laughing and screaming of fun, trying to dodge the pillows.
'What is going on in here?' A voice outside the room suddenly said. We all fell silent. Endomiel opened the door. It was Mithrandir.
'My goodness, what a mess!' he said looking around the room. 'Keep the noise down a bit, ladies.' he added and left.
We all sighed relieved. Boy, had we been lucky. We cleaned up the mess a bit, and then I remembered that I still had to talk to Legolas. I was lucky. He came out of his room just when I opened the door. He saw me and started walking, ignoring me.
'Legolas! Wait up!' I shouted.
He continued walking, so I sprinted after him. I caught up with him easily.
'Legolas, listen. I want to talk to you.'
'Well I don't want to talk to you' he answered as he stopped walking.
'I want to apologize'
'What? You want to apologize to a subject?'
'You heard me, I'm sorry.'
'Are you sure you want to talk to a subject?' he said with a sneer.
'Look, I said sorry, okay? Besides, if I wouldn't talk to subjects I wouldn't have anybody to talk to around here'
'You mean that everybody is a subject to you around here?'
'Yes'
'Including the teachers?'
I nodded.
'This doesn't make it alright, do you realize that?'
'Hey, I said sorry and I meant that. Let's just start over okay? I'm Elvea.'
'Legolas.' he doubtingly stuck out his hand. I took his hand and I shook it.
'Nice to meet you. And I mean it this time.'
'Thanks' he started walking again.
'So you're not mad at me anymore?' I shouted after him.
'I'll think about it!' he shouted back, and I just knew he was grinning. I sighed relieved. That was one thing I didn't have to worry about anymore.
'I'll see you tomorrow!' I shouted.
'Do I have to?!' his voice came from around the corner. I walked back to my room, I was very tired, it had been a long day after all. I'm off to bed now.
Just remembered something. I forgot to go to detention. oops.
