E/N (Elvea's Note. see? I'm not in love with him, =P): Okay, maybe I'm a
little ill in the head, but I'm not in love with Éomer, and yes, hell (or
*Mordor*?) just froze over =P.

Day six, the 12th of Halimath, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Menelya, the 33rd of Yávie (Iavas), 2984 T.A. (Calendar of Imladris)
Dear diary,
Sorry that I didn't write the last couple of days, but it's not like anything important happened over the past few days. Okay, so I had an hour of detention because of Glorfindel every day, not like you didn't see that coming.
Oh, because Éomer carried my books I spent all of my breaks with him. And breakfast. And dinner. And not to forget after detention. And no I'm not in love with him.
Hey, I just realized something! Maybe he's in love with me! Nah, of course not. I'm just seeing things that aren't there. Just like with Boromir. And come to think of it, Glorfindel stares at me all the time too. But that's probably just because he's trying to blame me for more things because he hates me.
Anyway, today some interesting things happened so I'll just tell you all about it.
I woke up this morning by a knock on the door. I looked around, but I was the only one left in the room. Dammit, now I had to get up myself and open the door. Another knock. I checked my clock. 7.45 am. I sat up straight, grabbed my crutches and got out of my bed. Then I walked over to the door and opened it. Lucky me that the other girls hadn't locked it after they left. As I was saying, I opened the door to find Éomer standing in front of it.
'Did you get your books ready?' he asked.
'No, why?'
'For class'
'Éomer, it's Menelya. We don't have classes today'
'Oh right. I forgot'
'Really?' I said sarcastically.
'Then it's something else. oh, I remember! You have to be at the school nurses' in about half an hour.'
Oops. I kind of forgot about that.
'Could you wait here, I have to get dressed' I asked as I realized that I was still wearing my nightgown. Éomer nodded so I closed the door and went to the bathroom. I had to heal my leg now, or I would miss freshmen's camp. Why didn't I do that right after I fell anyway? Ah well. I healed myself and quickly put on a dress. It was deep blue, with long sleeves and it was wide at the bottom. I put on my ring and necklace, grabbed my crutches and opened the door. Éomer smiled. Smiling and blushing. he does that a lot when I'm around. it's pretty cute. no it's not because I'm not in love.
We walked to the mess to have breakfast together (and almost bumped into Endomiel doing so), it was starting to become a habit of ours. Mainly because I couldn't carry a tray myself because of the crutches, I think. I told Éomer what I wanted to eat, he put it on a tray, grabbed some food for himself and we sat down on at an empty table. Okay, so I healed my leg 5 minutes ago and I can carry a tray myself perfectly fine, he doesn't have to know that.
Éomer handed me my uhm. I think it was cereal, but since it was typical highschool food it looked like it had been eaten before, and then he handed me my water. I like water, it's actually the only thing I drink. That, and I just hate milk.
'Thanks' I said. Éomer sighed, and pretended to attack me with his spoon. Just then, Boromir and Faramir walked into the mess.
'Hey Éomer, be careful with your girlfriend!' Faramir said laughing.
'She's not my girlfriend' Éomer answered.
'Yeah right, and my hair is green' Faramir went on.
Green hair? No problem. I mean, we aren't together or anything, so Faramir's hair should really be green. Without anyone noticing, I snapped my fingers, and yes, Faramir's hair spontaneously turned green. We all started laughing like maniacs. Except Faramir of course. He turned royally pissed. The red of his angry face really made the green of his hair come out. He left the mess right away. Maybe I should turn his hair back to normal. next week. WHAT?! He asked for it!
After Faramir left, Boromir sat down with us.
'Maybe one of us should go check on him' he said.
'He'll be alright, I'm sure it wont last forever' I answered.
'Besides, we have to go to the school nurse in about 15 minutes' Éomer added.
'We?' Boromir asked.
'Yeah, is it forbidden to come with Elvy to the school nurse?' Éomer answered.
'No, but. hey, did you just call her Elvy?' Boromir asked.
'No, I didn't. You just heard wrong. I said Elvea.' Éomer answered.
So he was lying, so what? Éomer is the only one with permission to call me Elvy. But I'm not in love. Definitely not. Nu-uh.
'I guess I did.' Boromir replied, but the look on his face told me he had his doubts.
'So what time are they going to announce the groups for freshmen's camp?' I asked.
'Why do you want to know? You're staying here, right?' Boromir asked in return.
'Yeah, I know. but still.'
'Wasn't that somewhere around lunch?' Éomer asked.
'1 o'clock' Boromir answered.
We finished our meals and then Éomer and I went to Rían, the school nurse. When we got there I sat down on the bed that was made ready for me, and Éomer sat down on a chair next to the bed. Rían started to unwrap my leg. It looked pretty good, but then again, I just healed it.
'Dear Eru' Rían said, 'I've never seen this before in my entire life!'
'Seen what?' I asked innocently, feighning to wonder what she was talking about.
'Your leg. it's healed entirely.' she answered with an amazed look on her face.
'Elvy, that's great!' Éomer said smiling.
'It's incredible. I would almost say that there are higher powers at work here' Rían continued. Let's not tell her how right she is, shall we?
'Does this mean I can go on the camp next week?' I asked.
'Now that you're healed I don't see why not. We just need someone to keep an eye on you, just in case, that's all' Rían answered.
'I'll do it!' Éomer said right away.
'Well, then it's settled. I'll inform Mithrandir and make sure you are added to the list' Rían said, and then she left. I jumped down from the bed, then moaned. I guess my healing skills are a little less in this body too. Dammit, I want my powers back!
'Are you alright?' Éomer asked.
'Yeah, I'm fine. I just have to get used to walking normally again, that's all.'
'Okay, good, because I don't want you to get hurt again'
'Thanks'
Éomer sighed. 'Are you ever going to stop saying that?'
'Probably not. But it's your own fault. If you don't want me to say thanks then just stop being nice' I said teasingly.
'Sure. In that case I won't ask you if you want to come with me to the class-picnic today'
'No?'
'Nope' he said, then he stood up and started walking.
'I would've said yes, you know.'
Éomer turned around, then smiled at me. Again. Actually, he smiled as happy as a little kid who just got loads of candy. 'So you're coming?'
'I was gonna go anyway, so I don't see why we can't go together' I answered.
'Great'
'What time does it start?'
'At noon'
'Okay, I'll see you then'
'Where exactly?' Éomer asked.
'Uhm. in front of my room' I answered.
'Okay, see you then'
'See you!'
I walked back to my room. Then I realized it. The bastard. He tricked me! He actually tricked me into a date. Because it sort of is a date. Damn! He tricked me! Wait, I just said that. Ah well. he tricked me!!!
I stepped inside my room, then slammed the door. I had no apparent reason, but this just seemed the perfect moment to do it, you know, Drama Queen's moment. Goddess in my case. I sat down on my bed. Legolas was sitting with Endomiel on her bed, but they were talking quietly and I don't think they noticed me. I had about three hours for myself right now. It was my first day without classes since I arrived and I had absolutely no idea what to do. I decided to go check on Faramir, I was starting to feel guilty. I walked to his room and knocked on the door.
'Who is it?' someone mumbled.
'It's me, Elvea.'
'What do you want?!' obviously Faramir who said it.
'I want to apologize'
'The door's open'
I opened the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind me. There was Faramir, sitting on his bed, with his hands in his *hair*. Damn, that made me feel guilty even more. I wondered if anyone else had laughed at him besides Éomer, Boromir and me.
'Are you okay?' I asked.
'My hair just turned green, what do you think?!' he said, and he sounded kind of pissed.
'I'm sorry about that. I'm also sorry for laughing at you'
'I'm sure you are. And I'm sure you and your elven magic had nothing to do with this!' he shouted.
'Hey, take it easy! I just wanted to say sorry, and maybe help you, but if you're going to be this way you can forget about it!' I shouted back.
'Fine!'
'Fine!' I turned around and opened the door. He can walk around with green hair the rest of his life for all I care. If he doesn't want my help or my apologies it's really not my problem.
'Elvea?'
'What?!'
'Please don't go'
'Give me one good reason'
'I'm sorry for shouting at you'
I sighed and closed the door again. Then I walked towards Faramir and sat down next to him on the bed.
'Alright, I'll help you. But you have to promise me not to shout at me like that again' I said.
'I promise'
'Good. Okay, have you tried washing your hair?'
'No.' Faramir said, and I sighed again. This could take a while.
'Well, why don't you try now?'
'But you're here!'
'You can undress in the bathroom, remember? I'll wait here'
'Oh right.' Faramir said and he walked into the bathroom.
'Faramir, close the door'
'Oh right.' he closed the door. I must note that the guys in this school really aren't the smartest people in the world. I looked around the room. Those guys manage to amaze me every time. Seriously, you wouldn't believe the mess they managed to create in there. I wondered how they were able to sleep, since their beds were all filled with loads of junk. Kind of reminds me of Endomiel's part of our room.
After a while Faramir came out of the bathroom. His hair had turned back to its normal color, except for a hardly noticeable greenish glow. Then I noticed he only wore his jeans, no shirt. Have to admit, not bad. Not bad at all. Okay, so the guys in this school aren't all that smart, but they sure look good!
'Faramir, where's your shirt?' I asked.
'In the bathroom' he said, walking towards the closet next to his bed.
'Why?'
'Because I needed to put on a clean one anyway'
'Right'
Just then, Boromir walked in.
'Oh my god!' he started. 'Oh my freaking god! What is going on in here?!'
'Nothing' I answered.
'Yeah right. Explain why my kid brother is walking around without a shirt and you are sitting on his bed'
'Because he just had a shower and he was going to put one on right now?'
'He's right over here you know' Faramir said.
'He was changing clothes with you on his bed?' Boromir asked me.
'He put on his jeans in the bathroom' I said.
'HELLO!!! MIDDLE-EARTH TO ELVEA AND BOROMIR!!! I'M RIGHT OVER HERE!!!' Faramir shouted.
'We know that' Boromir said.
'Then why are you ignoring me?'
'I'm not ignoring you!'
'Yes you are'
'No I'm not'
'Are too'
'Am not'
'Are too'
'Am not'
'SHUT UP!!!' I shouted. How old are they anyway? Bunch of immature figures. In other words: guys.
'Oh right. sorry' Boromir said.
'Thank you'
'And now I want the truth. What were you two doing?' Boromir continued.
'Stop patronizing me!!!' Faramir shouted and he ran to the door.
'Uhm Faramir? Your shirt.'
'Oh right!' he said. He ran back to his closet, grabbed a shirt and ran off.
'So are you going to explain everything to me now?' Boromir asked, sitting down next to me.
'Remember how Faramir's hair turned green this morning and we laughed at him?'
'Yeah, pretty funny'
'Well, I felt sorry and went over here to apologize'
'And then you two started making out and such'
'Will you shut up and let me finish?!'
'Right, sorry'
'Anyway, I came over here, we argued, made up and then-'
'You two-'
'SHUT UP!!!'
'Okay, okay.'
'Good, where was I? Oh right! Then I asked if he had tried washing it out, and he said no. So then he went to take a shower, came back with only his jeans on and then you walked in'
'And I have to believe this?' Boromir asked.
'You wanted the truth, I told you the truth'
'Sure you did'
'Yes I did'
'Yeah right'
'Stop it!'
'No'
'I command you to stop'
'You stop it!'
'Make me' I said.
'Okay' Boromir said, and he started tickling me. I started laughing like there's no tomorrow. I'm soooo sensitive for that sort of thing.
'HELP!' I yelled laughing.
'Admit that you lost and I'll stop'
'Never'
'As you wish' Boromir said and started tickling me even worse. He was hanging over me, hands on either side of me somewhere at my waist. And then Estel walked in.
'What is going on in here?' he asked.
'I'm tickling Elvea to death, can't you see?'
'Yes I can see that. And I also see that you're practically lying on top of her, so I'll just leave the two of you alone again to enjoy eachother's company.' Estel said with a grin and then he left.
'What does he think he's doing? We're not together!' Boromir said, moving away from me, thank Goddess, the tickling stopped.
'See what I've been trying to tell you all along? But did you listen? Nooooo!' I said as I sat up straight again.
'I believe you now'
'Little late, don't you think?'
'Yeah, sorry'
'You'd better be' I said, and then I walked over to the door.
'Where are you going?'
'Back to my room be fore more people get the wrong impression'
'Oh right. See you!'
'See you' I said and left the room. I checked the clock in the mess. I still had two more hours until the picnic. I decided to go for a ride with Alka, so I went to the stables, mounted Alka and rode off. After about 1 hour and 45 minutes I returned to the stables.
I dismounted and went to my room. Nobody in there. I brushed my hair. I sat down on my bed. I stood up and brushed my hair again. I started to feel nervous. Why? I opened my closet and took a look inside. What should I wear? I dunno. WHAT THE MORDOR AM I DOING?!!! IT'S ONLY ÉOMER AND I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM!!! I think.
A knock on the door. I checked the clock. 11.55 am. It was probably Éomer. My heart started beating faster. I really need to find a doctor. I brushed my hair again and then I opened the door.
'Hi' I said. I was right, it was Éomer.
'Hey, are you ready?' he asked.
'Yeah, pretty much'
I locked the door and went outside with Éomer. As usual, we were just joking around when we got to the field where the picnic was held and we were laughing our behinds off. Hey, I'm a princess, I have to watch my language.
Almost our entire class was there already. Some of the people looked up.
'Hey Elvea! What happened to your crutches?' Arwen asked.
'I'm healed' I said.
'Yeah, Rían almost thought that there were higher powers at work' Éomer added laughing. Endomiel looked up right away. She had a puzzled look on her face. I hope she won't get any suspicions.
We sat down on the grass with Éomers friends. I had spent some of my breaks with them too the last couple of days, but I still felt like a stranger among them. Everybody continued their conversations. I couldn't help noticing that Endomiel and Legolas were sitting pretty damn close to each other. I still think they are together, but then again, I'm not entirely sure.
Suddenly Gimli, one of the dwarves in my class, walked over to us.
'Hey Elvea, keep the smell down will ya? I could smell you on the other side of the field.' he said. I could see that everybody in the group hated Gimli, because they all glared at him. Éomer jumped up right away and punched Gimli in the face. Gimli's nose started bleeding. If it wasn't for the fact that Gildor was there to stop those two, they would've started to fight. Éomer sat down muttering and then he turned to me.
'Don't take it personal Elv.ea. He didn't mean it. He's just a stupid Dwarf' he said to me. Good thing he changed his mind on calling me Elvy in front of everybody. He put his arm around my shoulder. The group grinned, the guys winked. I still don't get it. And why was Boromir glaring at Éomer?
'Down boy!' I said laughing to Éomer, and he took his hand away. I cursed myself directly, he looked pretty hurt. Damn, now what do I do?
"Just say something!" I said to myself in my mind.
"Like what?" I answered.
"I don't know"
"Like that's a help"
"Hey, you can say anything!"
"You think so?"
"Just say something or he'll go away!"
"Yeah, but what?"
"I don't mind if you touch me"
"That would come out really wrong, wouldn't it?"
"It sure would"
"Then say something else"
"Like what?"
"You tell me"
"AAAAAARGH!!!"
I ignored the voice in my head and turned to Éomer. I took a deep breath.
'Sorry about that. I didn't mean it' I said.
'You didn't?' he asked.
'No, I was joking'
'Oh right.' he said. Like I said before: the guys in this school aren't the smartest guys in the world.
'So I really don't mind, I guess.' I added. Éomer smiled his kid-got-candy smile again, and then he put his arm around my shoulder again. And everybody grinned again. Damn, I don't get it! We all started talking to each other again. After about an hour Gildor stood up to announce the groups for freshmen's camp.
I was in one group with Boromir, Faramir, Estel, Legolas, Vebor (dammit), Éomer, Arwen and Endomiel. There were like twice as much guys in our group as there were girls. I put down Éomers arm carefully and lay back in the grass. Damn, I was tired. I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm so tired lately. I sat up again. Everything was spinning. My head was so heavy. I felt sick. No way I was going to get ill now, I want to go on camp. I really felt bad. Black spots appeared in front of me. Everything was looking so blurry.
'Elvy, are you alright?' Éomer asked.
Through my blurry vision I could see everybody looking at me, wondering why Éomer said Elvy, and what was going on.
'I'm fine' I said, breathing heavily. It was so hot. Then I realized it. Somebody was putting a spell on me. Somebody didn't want me to go on camp. I looked around, trying to see sharper. Someone was standing in the shade of the trees. I could feel the spell coming from there. I countered it, and felt better right away.
I stood up and ran to the person standing between the trees, but when I got there he or she was gone. Maybe it was just an illusion. I turned around, and literally bumped into Éomer. Apparently he had come after me. I almost fell, but he quickly wrapped his arms around me to keep me standing.
'Are you sure you're okay?' he asked.
'Yeah, I'm fine' I said.
'Because, well, you know, I care about you, I really do' he said. I felt funny. And this time it wasn't some sort of spell. He was still standing pretty close to me, his arms moved to my waist. My heart was beating at about 10 times its usual speed. I knew what he was about to do. But I don't love him! Right?
And then I panicked. I just kissed him on the cheek, like, really fast, and ran away. I ran through the forest, and just kept running until I came to an open space. I stopped. Damn, that was some pretty fast running I just did. I took a deep breath, and then I realized I was pretty much lost, because I didn't exactly look where I ran off to.
I sat down in the grass. I had no idea what to do. That was when Glorfindel showed up. Just great. Mr. Poncy Elf-git going to annoy me again. Worst part was that I couldn't run away, because that would get me even more lost.
'What are you doing here all alone, Miss Aure?' he asked.
'Sitting'
'Aren't you supposed to be at a picnic?'
'I decide where I want to be for myself'
'And now you're lost'
'No I'm not'
'You look pretty lost to me'
'So? You look pretty girly to me, I don't go and tell you that either'
'That's another detention young lady!'
'You can't give me detention, we don't have class' I pointed out to him. I could see he was getting pretty annoyed. Why can't he just leave me alone?
'You should really learn who is in charge here'
'Oh, I know that pretty damn well. I'm in charge, I'm the High-elven princess' I said, and yes, I stuck out my tongue. Stupid Elf-git.
He opened his mouth to say something, then he changed his mind and left. Hah! I won! Eat that, Mr. Poncy! Then I figured he knew the way back, so I quietly followed him to the edge of the forest. Problem solved. But now what? I didn't want to go back to the picnic, since it was most likely that Éomer had gone back there, and the last thing I wanted is see Éomer right now. I was even more confused than I was last Anarya.
I went back to my room. It was 7.15 in the evening. Damn, I had run a whole lot longer than I thought I did. I sat down on my bed. The sick feeling returned. Whoever cast the spell was trying it again. I countered it once again. I really need to create a shield or something to protect myself the coming period, because this can't go on forever. That, and I need to find out who is trying to get me ill.
I took a glass of water. I drank the water and then I created the shield. It was invisible, but I knew it would help. I lay down on my bed, closing my eyes. The tired feeling wouldn't leave, even though the sick feeling was gone. Maybe because I ran for a couple of hours?
'Éomer is looking for you' somebody said.
I opened my eyes and sat up straight. Arwen was standing next to my bed.
'And?' I said.
'I thought you would want to know that'
'Not really'
'But I thought you two were together!'
'You thought wrong'
'Oh. hey, what are you doing tomorrow?'
'Packing my stuff together for camp, and I don't really know what else'
'Oh, okay.'
'Why do you want to know?'
'Oh, just curious.'
'Right.' I said, and got up. I really didn't feel like having Arwen whining to me right now.
I said nothing else to her and just left the room, only to run into Vebor.
'Hey! Watch where you're going!' he shouted.
'Well, that would mean seeing you and I really don't want to hurt my eyes!' I replied. I stepped aside and went to the stables again. I went for another ride through the forest, and didn't return until it was 10 in the evening. I missed dinner, but I didn't care. I went back to my room. Everything was quiet. Elanor was sleeping, the others weren't back yet. I sat down on my bed, kind of a habit, sitting on beds, and started thinking about everything that happened today. And of course, I ended up thinking of Éomer again, and how he tried to kiss me. And then I felt the tingling in my lips again, the tingling of his lips on mine, last Anarya. Seriously, that guy sure knows how to confuse someone. My head started tingling too, the places where he had gone through my hair. And my waist, and my shoulders, my hands, everywhere he had touched me, if only for a second, tingled. Which is practically my entire body since I stood against him this afternoon. I think I'm going crazy, so I'll just go sleeping now. And no, I'm not in love.
Kisses, Elvea. Hah! Got it right this time!

Day six, the 12th of Halimath, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Menelya, the 33rd of Yávie (Iavas), 2984 T.A. (Calendar of Imladris)
Dear diary,
Sorry that I didn't write the last couple of days, but it's not like anything important happened over the past few days. Okay, so I had an hour of detention because of Glorfindel every day, not like you didn't see that coming.
Oh, because Éomer carried my books I spent all of my breaks with him. And breakfast. And dinner. And not to forget after detention. And no I'm not in love with him.
Hey, I just realized something! Maybe he's in love with me! Nah, of course not. I'm just seeing things that aren't there. Just like with Boromir. And come to think of it, Glorfindel stares at me all the time too. But that's probably just because he's trying to blame me for more things because he hates me.
Anyway, today some interesting things happened so I'll just tell you all about it.
I woke up this morning by a knock on the door. I looked around, but I was the only one left in the room. Dammit, now I had to get up myself and open the door. Another knock. I checked my clock. 7.45 am. I sat up straight, grabbed my crutches and got out of my bed. Then I walked over to the door and opened it. Lucky me that the other girls hadn't locked it after they left. As I was saying, I opened the door to find Éomer standing in front of it.
'Did you get your books ready?' he asked.
'No, why?'
'For class'
'Éomer, it's Menelya. We don't have classes today'
'Oh right. I forgot'
'Really?' I said sarcastically.
'Then it's something else. oh, I remember! You have to be at the school nurses' in about half an hour.'
Oops. I kind of forgot about that.
'Could you wait here, I have to get dressed' I asked as I realized that I was still wearing my nightgown. Éomer nodded so I closed the door and went to the bathroom. I had to heal my leg now, or I would miss freshmen's camp. Why didn't I do that right after I fell anyway? Ah well. I healed myself and quickly put on a dress. It was deep blue, with long sleeves and it was wide at the bottom. I put on my ring and necklace, grabbed my crutches and opened the door. Éomer smiled. Smiling and blushing. he does that a lot when I'm around. it's pretty cute. no it's not because I'm not in love.
We walked to the mess to have breakfast together (and almost bumped into Endomiel doing so), it was starting to become a habit of ours. Mainly because I couldn't carry a tray myself because of the crutches, I think. I told Éomer what I wanted to eat, he put it on a tray, grabbed some food for himself and we sat down on at an empty table. Okay, so I healed my leg 5 minutes ago and I can carry a tray myself perfectly fine, he doesn't have to know that.
Éomer handed me my uhm. I think it was cereal, but since it was typical highschool food it looked like it had been eaten before, and then he handed me my water. I like water, it's actually the only thing I drink. That, and I just hate milk.
'Thanks' I said. Éomer sighed, and pretended to attack me with his spoon. Just then, Boromir and Faramir walked into the mess.
'Hey Éomer, be careful with your girlfriend!' Faramir said laughing.
'She's not my girlfriend' Éomer answered.
'Yeah right, and my hair is green' Faramir went on.
Green hair? No problem. I mean, we aren't together or anything, so Faramir's hair should really be green. Without anyone noticing, I snapped my fingers, and yes, Faramir's hair spontaneously turned green. We all started laughing like maniacs. Except Faramir of course. He turned royally pissed. The red of his angry face really made the green of his hair come out. He left the mess right away. Maybe I should turn his hair back to normal. next week. WHAT?! He asked for it!
After Faramir left, Boromir sat down with us.
'Maybe one of us should go check on him' he said.
'He'll be alright, I'm sure it wont last forever' I answered.
'Besides, we have to go to the school nurse in about 15 minutes' Éomer added.
'We?' Boromir asked.
'Yeah, is it forbidden to come with Elvy to the school nurse?' Éomer answered.
'No, but. hey, did you just call her Elvy?' Boromir asked.
'No, I didn't. You just heard wrong. I said Elvea.' Éomer answered.
So he was lying, so what? Éomer is the only one with permission to call me Elvy. But I'm not in love. Definitely not. Nu-uh.
'I guess I did.' Boromir replied, but the look on his face told me he had his doubts.
'So what time are they going to announce the groups for freshmen's camp?' I asked.
'Why do you want to know? You're staying here, right?' Boromir asked in return.
'Yeah, I know. but still.'
'Wasn't that somewhere around lunch?' Éomer asked.
'1 o'clock' Boromir answered.
We finished our meals and then Éomer and I went to Rían, the school nurse. When we got there I sat down on the bed that was made ready for me, and Éomer sat down on a chair next to the bed. Rían started to unwrap my leg. It looked pretty good, but then again, I just healed it.
'Dear Eru' Rían said, 'I've never seen this before in my entire life!'
'Seen what?' I asked innocently, feighning to wonder what she was talking about.
'Your leg. it's healed entirely.' she answered with an amazed look on her face.
'Elvy, that's great!' Éomer said smiling.
'It's incredible. I would almost say that there are higher powers at work here' Rían continued. Let's not tell her how right she is, shall we?
'Does this mean I can go on the camp next week?' I asked.
'Now that you're healed I don't see why not. We just need someone to keep an eye on you, just in case, that's all' Rían answered.
'I'll do it!' Éomer said right away.
'Well, then it's settled. I'll inform Mithrandir and make sure you are added to the list' Rían said, and then she left. I jumped down from the bed, then moaned. I guess my healing skills are a little less in this body too. Dammit, I want my powers back!
'Are you alright?' Éomer asked.
'Yeah, I'm fine. I just have to get used to walking normally again, that's all.'
'Okay, good, because I don't want you to get hurt again'
'Thanks'
Éomer sighed. 'Are you ever going to stop saying that?'
'Probably not. But it's your own fault. If you don't want me to say thanks then just stop being nice' I said teasingly.
'Sure. In that case I won't ask you if you want to come with me to the class-picnic today'
'No?'
'Nope' he said, then he stood up and started walking.
'I would've said yes, you know.'
Éomer turned around, then smiled at me. Again. Actually, he smiled as happy as a little kid who just got loads of candy. 'So you're coming?'
'I was gonna go anyway, so I don't see why we can't go together' I answered.
'Great'
'What time does it start?'
'At noon'
'Okay, I'll see you then'
'Where exactly?' Éomer asked.
'Uhm. in front of my room' I answered.
'Okay, see you then'
'See you!'
I walked back to my room. Then I realized it. The bastard. He tricked me! He actually tricked me into a date. Because it sort of is a date. Damn! He tricked me! Wait, I just said that. Ah well. he tricked me!!!
I stepped inside my room, then slammed the door. I had no apparent reason, but this just seemed the perfect moment to do it, you know, Drama Queen's moment. Goddess in my case. I sat down on my bed. Legolas was sitting with Endomiel on her bed, but they were talking quietly and I don't think they noticed me. I had about three hours for myself right now. It was my first day without classes since I arrived and I had absolutely no idea what to do. I decided to go check on Faramir, I was starting to feel guilty. I walked to his room and knocked on the door.
'Who is it?' someone mumbled.
'It's me, Elvea.'
'What do you want?!' obviously Faramir who said it.
'I want to apologize'
'The door's open'
I opened the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind me. There was Faramir, sitting on his bed, with his hands in his *hair*. Damn, that made me feel guilty even more. I wondered if anyone else had laughed at him besides Éomer, Boromir and me.
'Are you okay?' I asked.
'My hair just turned green, what do you think?!' he said, and he sounded kind of pissed.
'I'm sorry about that. I'm also sorry for laughing at you'
'I'm sure you are. And I'm sure you and your elven magic had nothing to do with this!' he shouted.
'Hey, take it easy! I just wanted to say sorry, and maybe help you, but if you're going to be this way you can forget about it!' I shouted back.
'Fine!'
'Fine!' I turned around and opened the door. He can walk around with green hair the rest of his life for all I care. If he doesn't want my help or my apologies it's really not my problem.
'Elvea?'
'What?!'
'Please don't go'
'Give me one good reason'
'I'm sorry for shouting at you'
I sighed and closed the door again. Then I walked towards Faramir and sat down next to him on the bed.
'Alright, I'll help you. But you have to promise me not to shout at me like that again' I said.
'I promise'
'Good. Okay, have you tried washing your hair?'
'No.' Faramir said, and I sighed again. This could take a while.
'Well, why don't you try now?'
'But you're here!'
'You can undress in the bathroom, remember? I'll wait here'
'Oh right.' Faramir said and he walked into the bathroom.
'Faramir, close the door'
'Oh right.' he closed the door. I must note that the guys in this school really aren't the smartest people in the world. I looked around the room. Those guys manage to amaze me every time. Seriously, you wouldn't believe the mess they managed to create in there. I wondered how they were able to sleep, since their beds were all filled with loads of junk. Kind of reminds me of Endomiel's part of our room.
After a while Faramir came out of the bathroom. His hair had turned back to its normal color, except for a hardly noticeable greenish glow. Then I noticed he only wore his jeans, no shirt. Have to admit, not bad. Not bad at all. Okay, so the guys in this school aren't all that smart, but they sure look good!
'Faramir, where's your shirt?' I asked.
'In the bathroom' he said, walking towards the closet next to his bed.
'Why?'
'Because I needed to put on a clean one anyway'
'Right'
Just then, Boromir walked in.
'Oh my god!' he started. 'Oh my freaking god! What is going on in here?!'
'Nothing' I answered.
'Yeah right. Explain why my kid brother is walking around without a shirt and you are sitting on his bed'
'Because he just had a shower and he was going to put one on right now?'
'He's right over here you know' Faramir said.
'He was changing clothes with you on his bed?' Boromir asked me.
'He put on his jeans in the bathroom' I said.
'HELLO!!! MIDDLE-EARTH TO ELVEA AND BOROMIR!!! I'M RIGHT OVER HERE!!!' Faramir shouted.
'We know that' Boromir said.
'Then why are you ignoring me?'
'I'm not ignoring you!'
'Yes you are'
'No I'm not'
'Are too'
'Am not'
'Are too'
'Am not'
'SHUT UP!!!' I shouted. How old are they anyway? Bunch of immature figures. In other words: guys.
'Oh right. sorry' Boromir said.
'Thank you'
'And now I want the truth. What were you two doing?' Boromir continued.
'Stop patronizing me!!!' Faramir shouted and he ran to the door.
'Uhm Faramir? Your shirt.'
'Oh right!' he said. He ran back to his closet, grabbed a shirt and ran off.
'So are you going to explain everything to me now?' Boromir asked, sitting down next to me.
'Remember how Faramir's hair turned green this morning and we laughed at him?'
'Yeah, pretty funny'
'Well, I felt sorry and went over here to apologize'
'And then you two started making out and such'
'Will you shut up and let me finish?!'
'Right, sorry'
'Anyway, I came over here, we argued, made up and then-'
'You two-'
'SHUT UP!!!'
'Okay, okay.'
'Good, where was I? Oh right! Then I asked if he had tried washing it out, and he said no. So then he went to take a shower, came back with only his jeans on and then you walked in'
'And I have to believe this?' Boromir asked.
'You wanted the truth, I told you the truth'
'Sure you did'
'Yes I did'
'Yeah right'
'Stop it!'
'No'
'I command you to stop'
'You stop it!'
'Make me' I said.
'Okay' Boromir said, and he started tickling me. I started laughing like there's no tomorrow. I'm soooo sensitive for that sort of thing.
'HELP!' I yelled laughing.
'Admit that you lost and I'll stop'
'Never'
'As you wish' Boromir said and started tickling me even worse. He was hanging over me, hands on either side of me somewhere at my waist. And then Estel walked in.
'What is going on in here?' he asked.
'I'm tickling Elvea to death, can't you see?'
'Yes I can see that. And I also see that you're practically lying on top of her, so I'll just leave the two of you alone again to enjoy eachother's company.' Estel said with a grin and then he left.
'What does he think he's doing? We're not together!' Boromir said, moving away from me, thank Goddess, the tickling stopped.
'See what I've been trying to tell you all along? But did you listen? Nooooo!' I said as I sat up straight again.
'I believe you now'
'Little late, don't you think?'
'Yeah, sorry'
'You'd better be' I said, and then I walked over to the door.
'Where are you going?'
'Back to my room be fore more people get the wrong impression'
'Oh right. See you!'
'See you' I said and left the room. I checked the clock in the mess. I still had two more hours until the picnic. I decided to go for a ride with Alka, so I went to the stables, mounted Alka and rode off. After about 1 hour and 45 minutes I returned to the stables.
I dismounted and went to my room. Nobody in there. I brushed my hair. I sat down on my bed. I stood up and brushed my hair again. I started to feel nervous. Why? I opened my closet and took a look inside. What should I wear? I dunno. WHAT THE MORDOR AM I DOING?!!! IT'S ONLY ÉOMER AND I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM!!! I think.
A knock on the door. I checked the clock. 11.55 am. It was probably Éomer. My heart started beating faster. I really need to find a doctor. I brushed my hair again and then I opened the door.
'Hi' I said. I was right, it was Éomer.
'Hey, are you ready?' he asked.
'Yeah, pretty much'
I locked the door and went outside with Éomer. As usual, we were just joking around when we got to the field where the picnic was held and we were laughing our behinds off. Hey, I'm a princess, I have to watch my language.
Almost our entire class was there already. Some of the people looked up.
'Hey Elvea! What happened to your crutches?' Arwen asked.
'I'm healed' I said.
'Yeah, Rían almost thought that there were higher powers at work' Éomer added laughing. Endomiel looked up right away. She had a puzzled look on her face. I hope she won't get any suspicions.
We sat down on the grass with Éomers friends. I had spent some of my breaks with them too the last couple of days, but I still felt like a stranger among them. Everybody continued their conversations. I couldn't help noticing that Endomiel and Legolas were sitting pretty damn close to each other. I still think they are together, but then again, I'm not entirely sure.
Suddenly Gimli, one of the dwarves in my class, walked over to us.
'Hey Elvea, keep the smell down will ya? I could smell you on the other side of the field.' he said. I could see that everybody in the group hated Gimli, because they all glared at him. Éomer jumped up right away and punched Gimli in the face. Gimli's nose started bleeding. If it wasn't for the fact that Gildor was there to stop those two, they would've started to fight. Éomer sat down muttering and then he turned to me.
'Don't take it personal Elv.ea. He didn't mean it. He's just a stupid Dwarf' he said to me. Good thing he changed his mind on calling me Elvy in front of everybody. He put his arm around my shoulder. The group grinned, the guys winked. I still don't get it. And why was Boromir glaring at Éomer?
'Down boy!' I said laughing to Éomer, and he took his hand away. I cursed myself directly, he looked pretty hurt. Damn, now what do I do?
"Just say something!" I said to myself in my mind.
"Like what?" I answered.
"I don't know"
"Like that's a help"
"Hey, you can say anything!"
"You think so?"
"Just say something or he'll go away!"
"Yeah, but what?"
"I don't mind if you touch me"
"That would come out really wrong, wouldn't it?"
"It sure would"
"Then say something else"
"Like what?"
"You tell me"
"AAAAAARGH!!!"
I ignored the voice in my head and turned to Éomer. I took a deep breath.
'Sorry about that. I didn't mean it' I said.
'You didn't?' he asked.
'No, I was joking'
'Oh right.' he said. Like I said before: the guys in this school aren't the smartest guys in the world.
'So I really don't mind, I guess.' I added. Éomer smiled his kid-got-candy smile again, and then he put his arm around my shoulder again. And everybody grinned again. Damn, I don't get it! We all started talking to each other again. After about an hour Gildor stood up to announce the groups for freshmen's camp.
I was in one group with Boromir, Faramir, Estel, Legolas, Vebor (dammit), Éomer, Arwen and Endomiel. There were like twice as much guys in our group as there were girls. I put down Éomers arm carefully and lay back in the grass. Damn, I was tired. I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm so tired lately. I sat up again. Everything was spinning. My head was so heavy. I felt sick. No way I was going to get ill now, I want to go on camp. I really felt bad. Black spots appeared in front of me. Everything was looking so blurry.
'Elvy, are you alright?' Éomer asked.
Through my blurry vision I could see everybody looking at me, wondering why Éomer said Elvy, and what was going on.
'I'm fine' I said, breathing heavily. It was so hot. Then I realized it. Somebody was putting a spell on me. Somebody didn't want me to go on camp. I looked around, trying to see sharper. Someone was standing in the shade of the trees. I could feel the spell coming from there. I countered it, and felt better right away.
I stood up and ran to the person standing between the trees, but when I got there he or she was gone. Maybe it was just an illusion. I turned around, and literally bumped into Éomer. Apparently he had come after me. I almost fell, but he quickly wrapped his arms around me to keep me standing.
'Are you sure you're okay?' he asked.
'Yeah, I'm fine' I said.
'Because, well, you know, I care about you, I really do' he said. I felt funny. And this time it wasn't some sort of spell. He was still standing pretty close to me, his arms moved to my waist. My heart was beating at about 10 times its usual speed. I knew what he was about to do. But I don't love him! Right?
And then I panicked. I just kissed him on the cheek, like, really fast, and ran away. I ran through the forest, and just kept running until I came to an open space. I stopped. Damn, that was some pretty fast running I just did. I took a deep breath, and then I realized I was pretty much lost, because I didn't exactly look where I ran off to.
I sat down in the grass. I had no idea what to do. That was when Glorfindel showed up. Just great. Mr. Poncy Elf-git going to annoy me again. Worst part was that I couldn't run away, because that would get me even more lost.
'What are you doing here all alone, Miss Aure?' he asked.
'Sitting'
'Aren't you supposed to be at a picnic?'
'I decide where I want to be for myself'
'And now you're lost'
'No I'm not'
'You look pretty lost to me'
'So? You look pretty girly to me, I don't go and tell you that either'
'That's another detention young lady!'
'You can't give me detention, we don't have class' I pointed out to him. I could see he was getting pretty annoyed. Why can't he just leave me alone?
'You should really learn who is in charge here'
'Oh, I know that pretty damn well. I'm in charge, I'm the High-elven princess' I said, and yes, I stuck out my tongue. Stupid Elf-git.
He opened his mouth to say something, then he changed his mind and left. Hah! I won! Eat that, Mr. Poncy! Then I figured he knew the way back, so I quietly followed him to the edge of the forest. Problem solved. But now what? I didn't want to go back to the picnic, since it was most likely that Éomer had gone back there, and the last thing I wanted is see Éomer right now. I was even more confused than I was last Anarya.
I went back to my room. It was 7.15 in the evening. Damn, I had run a whole lot longer than I thought I did. I sat down on my bed. The sick feeling returned. Whoever cast the spell was trying it again. I countered it once again. I really need to create a shield or something to protect myself the coming period, because this can't go on forever. That, and I need to find out who is trying to get me ill.
I took a glass of water. I drank the water and then I created the shield. It was invisible, but I knew it would help. I lay down on my bed, closing my eyes. The tired feeling wouldn't leave, even though the sick feeling was gone. Maybe because I ran for a couple of hours?
'Éomer is looking for you' somebody said.
I opened my eyes and sat up straight. Arwen was standing next to my bed.
'And?' I said.
'I thought you would want to know that'
'Not really'
'But I thought you two were together!'
'You thought wrong'
'Oh. hey, what are you doing tomorrow?'
'Packing my stuff together for camp, and I don't really know what else'
'Oh, okay.'
'Why do you want to know?'
'Oh, just curious.'
'Right.' I said, and got up. I really didn't feel like having Arwen whining to me right now.
I said nothing else to her and just left the room, only to run into Vebor.
'Hey! Watch where you're going!' he shouted.
'Well, that would mean seeing you and I really don't want to hurt my eyes!' I replied. I stepped aside and went to the stables again. I went for another ride through the forest, and didn't return until it was 10 in the evening. I missed dinner, but I didn't care. I went back to my room. Everything was quiet. Elanor was sleeping, the others weren't back yet. I sat down on my bed, kind of a habit, sitting on beds, and started thinking about everything that happened today. And of course, I ended up thinking of Éomer again, and how he tried to kiss me. And then I felt the tingling in my lips again, the tingling of his lips on mine, last Anarya. Seriously, that guy sure knows how to confuse someone. My head started tingling too, the places where he had gone through my hair. And my waist, and my shoulders, my hands, everywhere he had touched me, if only for a second, tingled. Which is practically my entire body since I stood against him this afternoon. I think I'm going crazy, so I'll just go sleeping now. And no, I'm not in love.
Kisses, Elvea. Hah! Got it right this time!
