1 Chapter 3
Halimath 2nd, 1384 (Shire Reconing)
Hi readers!!
Still reading huh? I can't blame you, my life is sooo interesting… NOT! Man, today stated out as my worst day ever. I found out what I actually forgot yesterday. My alarm clock. And I found out the hard way…
*YAWN* I'm only just awake, and I've already got the feeling that something is going terribly wrong… I looked around in my room. Besides me, there were 4 other girls in my room, but there were 6 beds. One for me, 4 for the other girls in my room, and an empty bed. Why would they put 6 beds in a room, if they only put 5 people in it? My class has 10 girls and 15 boys. The girls I know are nice, but I only know the 4 I'm sleeping with. They're Arwen, a Half-Elf, friendly, nice girl, I like her, we already are good friends. Éowyn, a human, she's nice too. I actually already made two friends who aren't boys for a change! Go me! There's also Rosie, a Hobbit, I already knew her, she's nice too, but doesn't say much, and Elanor, also an Elf, blonde hair, blue eyes, I didn't really get to talk to her, she went to bed pretty early yesterday. Maybe I'll speak with her today.
O look at the time, according to the sun, it's already almost 8:30, did I miss breakfast? What? 8:30!?! CLASS STARTS AT 8:30!!! OMG-ess!!! As quick as I could, I grabbed the clothes closest to me. Baggy jeans, baggy t-shirt and some comfy sneakers. A ran a comb trough my hair as quick as I could, tied it in a ponytail, and put a jeans baseball-cap over it. Stuffed my books in my bag, flung it on my back and took a quick look in the mirror. If I didn't know better, I could have mistaken myself for a boy. Well, no time to change my clothes now, must hurry to class! I ran out to the hallway, and looked around. Which classroom am I supposed to go to? I took a left turn and took a look in every classroom I passed. After a few classrooms I found my class. The lesson had already started…
I knocked on the door.
'Come in.' the teacher said.
I opened the door. Everybody turned around to stare at my, half of them I didn't even know. Pippin waved from up front. I waved back. Merry chuckled. My face flushed red.
'How nice of you to join class after all.'
'I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my alarm clock.' I managed to whisper.
'Have a seat.'
I took a look around. Damn, there were only two seats left. It's a three- seat bench way in the back of the room, but Legolas was sitting in the middle one. Just my luck.
I took my seat on Legolas's left side, and laid my books on the desk. I wondered why nobody was sitting next to Legolas. 'Don't have enough money for a alarm clock, new boy?'
'Legolas, it's me, you blind or something?'
'I knew that. Answer my question.'
'What was your question again?'
'You heard me.'
'Yes, I do have enough money to buy a alarm clock, but I see you don't have enough money to buy friends.'
Legolas turned sideways to face me. 'I have plenty of friends.'
'They just don't happen to be here, do they? Do you actually believe yourself, Legolas? There just are thing money can't buy.'
'Everything's for sale.'
'Have it your way, but a real friend doesn't require a weekly payment.'
'Now that all are present, we can finally start the year. Hello, I am Gildor, your mentor and history teacher for the year. I hope you like your seats, because you'll be sitting in them for at least two months, until the teachers know all you names.'
'They'll never know all your names, will they Estel?' One of the boys asked the guy next to him.
'I don't think so, Faramir.' The other guy answered.
I have to sit next to 'the prince' for two months? No way! That can't be real! This day can't get any worse…
Now, the lessons actually started. History was pretty boring, but it had one good point, everybody had to introduce him or herself. I found out that one of the Half-elves guys, was actually a human named Estel, and the other two were the sons of Elrond, lord of Rivendell, and therefore Arwen's brothers, I didn't quite get their names. Pippin introduces himself as the funniest guy in the Shire, but Merry disagreed. Merry thought he was the funniest Hobbit in the Shire. Then Frodo had to introduce himself… 'Hi, I'm Frodo Baggins, I'm from Hobbiton, and I'm, uh…' His face turned all red. 'I'm here because I, uh, my parents are dead, and my uncle thought it would be good for me to grow up around elves, and uh, that about it.'
Than, it was Sam's turn. 'HiI'mSamwiseGamgeebutyoucanallcallmeSamifyouwant. I'malsofromHobbitonandcameherebecauseFrodo'smybestfriendand…' He took a big gasp of air. 'IwantedtoseetheElves.' He sat back down. I've never ever in my whole life seen anybody introduce himself faster than Sam just did. I always thought Frodo was shy, but Sam's shy too, I guess.
Next up were Boromir and Faramir, the sons of the steward of Gondor. 'I'm Boromir, and I came here 'cause my dad sent me here.'
'Hi! I'm Faramir, Boromir's little brother, well, not really little, but you get my point, don't you? I came here because Boromir came here. You must be wondering, how can you be his younger brother and still be in the same class? Well, that's because Boromir is supposed to be one class higher, and I'm supposed to be one class lower, but our dad wanted us to be in the same grade, so we could hang out together. My dad wants me to be more like Boromir, because…' At that point Boromir pulled him back to his seat. 'Shut up already little twerp.' He said. Real brotherly love, I could tell.
Then were Éowyn and Éomer, also brother and sister. They told us right about the same story as Faramir tried to tell us. I guess Éomer's about Boromir's age, and Éowyn's about Faramir's age, or something like that.
The rest of the introductions were pretty boring actually.
Here's a list of all my classmates;
Name: Room:
Me (Elf) G1
Frodo (Hobbit) B1
Sam (Hobbit) B1
Merry (Hobbit) B1
Pippin (Hobbit) B1
Éowyn (Human) G1
Éomer (Human) B1
Boromir (Human) B2
Faramir (Human) B2
Son of Elrond nr.1 (Half-Elf) B2
Son of Elrond nr.2 (Half-Elf) B2
Arwen (Half-Elf) G1
Estel (Human) B2
Marigold (Hobbit) G2
Elanor (Elf) G1
Legolas (Elf) B1
Rosie (Hobbit) G1
Noviën (Elf) G2
Mimosa (Human) G2
Teleriën (Elf) G2
Enelion (Elf) B3
Vebor (Human) B3
Gimly (Dwarf) B3
Lar (Dwarf) G2
Himath (Elf) B3
Quite a lot of people huh? I guess I'll have to ask Arwen the names of her brothers, looks pretty stupid to just call them "Son of Elrond nr.1" and "Son of Elrond nr.2" the whole year. Oh well, I'll find out sooner or later. Next class was Quenya, thought to us by wonderful Elrond (read: terrible Elrond). Man, he can even make the wonderful speech of Quenya sound like somebody's cursing. Stupid orqui. (You probably all know what orqui is, right? Well, it's small, ugly and used to be an Elf… that's right, orqui is Quenya for Orc!)
After Quenya, we finally had a break. I walked to the cafeteria and grabbed some lunch. Fruit, bread, something to put on my bread, a glass of water, I don't like milk, put it on a tray and looked around. The dining hall was quite big actually. So many people… So many seats… I walked over to the table where my class was sitting.
'Hi Endy!' Arwen greeted me with a smile. 'How is your day coming along?'
'A complete catastrophe.' I said. 'Do you know next to who I have to sit the next two months?'
'I know, you poor soul. I would have sat with you, but you didn't show at breakfast.'
'So? You didn't think of waking me?'
'No, you came from far away and you looked exhausted, we thought you were just going to skip breakfast and go straight to class as soon as you stood up.'
'Well, don't worry about waking me tomorrow, okay?'
'Okay, I'll do that.'
'Besides, do you know what his problem is?' I pointed at Legolas.
'Well, his dad sent him here, because Legolas needed to hang out with Elves of his age.'
'Then what's his problem? It's not that bad here is it?'
'Well, he is used to have his servants taking care of him 24-7, and he wasn't allowed to bring servants here.'
'Is that all? He sure can make a big problem out of nothing.'
'I guess that's one of his talents.'
'Well, he'll have a hard time here, I for one are not planning on being his servant any time soon.'
'Neither am I.' Arwen said.
'He looks depressed.'
'He'll get over it.'
'I think I'll go see how he's doing.'
'You sure? He might bite your head off!"
'No he won't.' I said. 'He's not fast enough to catch me off-guard.'
We laughed. I stood up and walked to the other end of the table.
'Is this seat taken?' I asked.
'No.'
'Can I sit here?'
'If you want to.'
'Okay.'
Silence… more silence… even more silence…
'Are you going to say anything or are you just going to sit there staring at me?' Legolas said.
'What's your problem?'
'You are my problem. Do I have a sign around my neck that says; "please, talk to me"? Do I?'
'No, but, I just thought… since you were sitting here, alone… you looked lonely…I thought you might enjoy some company…'
'Well, I don't. Now, will you just leave me alone?'
'No. I have to sit next to you for at least to months, so we might as well try to get along. You don't have to like me, but you could at least try.'
'Just leave me alone.'
'Let's just start over okay? We didn't really have a good start yesterday. Hi, I'm Endomiel.' I said as I stuck out my hand. Slowly, his hand moved over to mine. 'I'm Legolas.' He said as he shook my hand.
'Nice to meet you.' I said. 'Do I know you? You look familiar.'
Legolas laughed.
'I knew I could get you to laugh.' I said.
'This doesn't make us friends, you know.'
'I know, it's just a truce.'
'Right.'
'Right.'
The bell rang. 'What class do we have now?' I asked Legolas.
'Water sports from Glorfindel.'
'Is he nice?'
'You don't know anybody here do you?'
'I know a few hobbits, if that's what you mean.'
'That's not what I mean, but never mind.' Legolas said and he left.
'You could say something like "see you in the next class" you know!' I shouted.
'I know.' He shouted back.
'I'll see you in our next class!' I shouted.
'I sure don't hope so!'
'I'll get you for that!' I shouted as I walked to the exit of the mess. 'Where's the girls locker room?' I asked myself.
'It's over there silly.'
'Oh, hi Éowyn, I didn't see you coming.'
'That might be because your back was facing me.'
'Yeah, that could be it.' Laughing, we walked to the locker room. 'What sports will we be doing today?'
After that class, I was like, really exhausted. I walked over to were the freshman's rooms where and walked into the left room, because that was our room, or so I thought.
I sat down on my bed and put my bag on the floor. I was unpacking my bag, when I discovered that everything in the room was the opposite of how I remembered it. The bathroom was left instead of right, the beds were to the right, instead of to the left, what had happened here? As I took a closer look, I discovered Legolas sleeping on what I thought was Arwen's bed, and Pippin lying on what I thought was Elanor's bed. "What the…" I thought.
Suddenly, it hit me. This wasn't my room, this was the boys room across the hall! I must have been coming form the other side, and evidently entered the wrong room… oops…
'Hi Endy, what are you doing here?' Pippin asked.
My face flushed. 'I uh, well, I uh, I entered the wrong room.' I told Pippin.
'I can see that.'
Then, I heard some moaning coming form Legolas's bed.
"Don't tell me he's waking up too…" I thought.
'WHAT? What are you doing here? It's bad enough that I have to sit next to you during almost every class, and that you follow me around during lunch, but do you really have to follow me to my room and disturb my sleep?'
'O no, I'd never disturb your beauty-sleep, you need it.' I chuckled.
Pippin and I started laughing uncontrollably.
'Then what are you doing here?'
'I came to uh, borrow Pippin's geometry book.'
'But you have your own geometry book.' Pippin said.
'Oh, now I remember, I have my own, sorry for bothering you. See you around Pip.'
'Bye Endy.'
'What about me?' Legolas asked.
'I hope I wont see you around too much, you're bad for my eyes.' As I left the room, I heard Pippin chuckle.
'Stop that!'
Legolas sure was pissed…
Well, that's about all the exiting stuff that happened to me today. Oh, and I heard this rumour about this girl that was going to join our class next week. That might explain the extra bed in our room. O well, I'll see that tomorrow, right now it's time for dinner. No, still got a few minutes, I might ass well tell you about freshman's camp. We're going on camp in two weeks! Our class'll be divided in 3 camps, and we'll have to survive without grown-ups a whole week. That shouldn't be that hard, right?
