Chapter 4

Halimath 3d, 1384 (Shire Reconing)

Hi readers

What's the fun in reading my diary? Is it that interesting? It can't be that interesting… I don't have an ineresting life, really. Anyway, if you want to read, read, I won't stop you, yet…

I didn't tell you about dinner yesterday yet, did I? Anyway, I was sitting all alone, because Arwen and Ëowyn decided to sit on the other side of the table, next to Estel. I was all like "hello!! Feeling neglected overhere!" but I just let them annoy Estel and enjoyd my rest.

'Can I sit here?' I looked up from my plate.

'O, sure Boromir. If you don't mind me sitting here.'

'I don't mind.'

'Have a seat.'

Boromir sat down.

'How you doing?' he asked me.

'Okay, I guess. You?'

'Could be better.'

'Endomiel, Boromir, can I sit with you guys?' Someone called from behind me somewhere. It was Faramir.

'Please say no! Please say no!' Boromir kinda wispered.

'Why? You don't want him here?'

'If I could choose, no.'

'Why not?'

'Cause he's my annoying baby brother.'

'He can't be that bad…' I said.

Faramir dumped his stuff on the other of me. 'Hi guys! Though day huh? I actually kinda had fun today. Didn't you? Too bad you have to sit next to Legolas, I would have kept you a seat, you know, but Estel got there first.'

'Legolas isn't that bad, really.'

'He sure act terrible. What does he think he is? Prins or something?'

'He is a prince.' Boromir noted.

'He is? Didn't quite notice that. Poor kingdom of his! To think that he once will be king of…'

'Mirkwood.'

'Something like that. Poor, poor Mirkwood.'

'Come on, he really osn't that bad. He's actully quite nice if you get to know him.' I said.

'You know him?'

'Well, not really, but, well, he can't be that bad, he's only an Elf.'

'Okay, but stiil, that doesn't give him the right ot act like that, you know, back in Gondor we had a king once too. They say that the heir of Isildur is actually still alive! I hope he never claims his kingdom! My dad says that kings tned to destroy their kingdom over time…'

He just kept talking like that! Some 15 minutes later, if it's not longer, I'd heard right about the whole history of Gondor! Boromir gave me a knowing look. I think I get what he ment with annoying… Can't the kid shut up?

'And that is how Gondor lost it's king. You done eating? I'll take your trays to the kitchen, if you want.'

'Sure Faramir.' I said and gave him my tray.

When Faramir was some 10 meters away, Boromir said 'That's what I mean. He can't keep his mouth shut one second.'

'How come?' I asked.

'Well, he's pretty exited because of going to school and all, and somehow, he gets al this extra energy. All he does is talk, run around, talk some more, be active. I don't think he sleeps!'

'He'll get over it? Right?'

'In a few weeks he will…'

'O man…'

Suddenly, someone threw his suff on the table where Faramir had been sitting. I truned around, again.

'O, hi Legolas. What you doing here?'

'Just shut up.'

'If you don't want to talk, go sit somewhere else okay?'

Legolas unpacked his stuff.

'What's that?' I asked, pointing at a little wooden case.

'Nothing important.'

'Okay. Then what's that?' I pointed at a piece of paper with something written on it.

'It's a map of Mirkwood.'

'No it's not. It doesn't even look like a map.'

'The map's on the other side.'

'O, okay. But what's the writing on this side?'

'Some explenation about the city and the kingdom and stuff.'

'Strange letters.'

'Sindarin.'

'O.'

Legolas too a bite of his something or other..

'Why aren't you eating the same as everybody else?'

'I don't eat meat.'

'Than what's that on your bread?'

He looked at his 'meal'. 'Lembas.'

'It looks like meat.'

'It doesn't taste like meat.'

'Can I have a bite?'

'Take it, I have a lot of those.'

'What's it made of?'

'How should I know.'

'You're the Elf.'

'You're an Elf too, you know.'

'So?'

'So.'

Ugh! I'm just trying to make a conversation! *sigh* Annoying Elf. I took a few bites of my beef, or at least I think it's beef…

'Hey, have you heared about that new girl?' Boromir asked me.

'What new girl?' I asked.

'The one that's coming here next week.'

'Doesn't ring a bell.'

'You must've heared about her! She's a princess of one of the lands far away.'

'Everything's far away…' I said, dreaming of the shire…

'HELLO?? MIDDLE-EARTH TO ENDOMIEL!!'

'Huh?'

'Are you still alive?'

'I'm breathing, right?'

We started to laugh.

'What so funny?' Legolas asked.

'I'm still breathing!' I laughed.

'So?'

'Never mind…' Boromir and I were almost falling of our chairs from laughing now. Poor Legolas, he sure looked sad. I woundered if he had any friends at all. He said he did, but I don't know, I mean, he actually came to sit with me! Well, he knows I'm here, doesn't he?

After dinner, Boromir, Legolas and I walked to our rooms. Boromir was the first to reach his. 'Hey, I'll see you two tomorrow!'

'Bye Boromir!' I said.

'Bye.' Legolas said.

Legolas and I walked through our group's community room.

'Are you getting along with your roommates?' I asked

'How do you mean?'

'The hobbits and you, are you getting along?'

'They're okay, but Pippin's weird.'

'I know, but he's not weird, he's funny!'

'You think?'

'Yeah. But I grew up with him and Merry, I understand their weird sense of humour.'

'You do?'

'Well, not all of it, but mostly, yeah.'

'You grew up with those guys?'

'Yeah, they're my best friends. It was fun growing up with those guys. Merry and Pippin constantly got into trouble.'

'What kind of trouble?'

'Well, Merry and Pippin are kind of addicted to mushrooms, and farmer Maggot has a field full of mushrooms and they thought farmer Maggot wouldn't mind sharing his mushrooms with him.'

'What's the problem with that?'

'Well, Merry and Pippin used to sneak over to Maggot's fields and, uh, borrow the mushrooms from farmer Maggot.'

'Oh, now I see the problem…' We started to laugh.

After a while I said 'How was your life back in Mirkwood?'

'Oh, well, quite boring actually.'

'Did any of your friend come here with you?'

'Uh, no, not really, they'd rather gone to a school in Mirkwood.'

'O. You don't have any friends here, do you?'

'Uhm, not really, I guess.'

'You should go have a talk with Estel or Boromir, they're nice guys too.'

'I'll think about it.'

We reached my room.

'I'm always here if you need me, okay?'

'Okay. I'll see you in class tomorrow.'

'Sure don't hope so!' I joked.

'I'll try not to see you either!'

'Bye Legolas!'

'Bye!'

I walked into my room. Arwen, Éowyn and Rosie were already inside.

'Who were you talking to?' Arwen asked.

'Nobody.'

'Are you sure it's nobody?' Éowyn said.

'Yeah, why?'

'I thought I heard you say "Bye Legolas!" or something like that.'

'O…'

'Hey, no harm meant, but isn't he that annoying Mirkwood prince? I heard he's really annoying.'

'He's okay, really. He's not as bad as people say.'

'You know, he stares at you all day.'

'If he'd stare at me, I would have known, I sit next to him all day.'

'He does stare, he really does.' Rosie said. 'Even I see it, and I sit way up front. I think he likes you.'

'No, of course not, he's probably just trying to figure out why I actually talk to him.'

'That could be it, but I don't think so, I know that stare.'

'Sure you do Rosie.' I said.

'You like him, don't you? Arwen said.

'Like I said, he's okay.'

'I think you think he's more than okay.'

'Come again?'

'You know what I said!'

'He's just a friend. Not even a friend, what are you whining about? Like, you really think I don't notice you two drooling over Estel all day?'

'That's so not true!' Éowyn shouted practically in my ear. 'We were just talking!'

'Yeah sure Éowyn and I grew up in Mirkwood too.'

We all started laughing.

'Y'all are something else, you know that?' I laughed.

'How do you mean?'

'I grew up around boys, and never got to do this kind of "girl talk" if you get what I mean.'

'I see, you'll make up for lost time, I'm sure!'

We all started laughing again.

'Is anyone going to use this bed?' I asked.

'Not me.' Arwen said.

'Me neither.' Rosie said.

'Why do you want to know?' Éowyn asked.

'I was wondering if I could throw some stuff on it, if nobody's going to use it.'

'I'd like to throw some stuff on it too.'

'Okay, we can share.'

'Of course.'

We threw our stuff on the bed. I started unpacking my bags and put some clothes next to my bed to wear tomorrow.

'Where's Elanor?' Arwen asked us.

'I dunno.' I said. 'Haven't seen her since dinner.'

'Where could she be?'

'Anywhere but here. Let's go look for her.'

'No, I have to unpack my stuff.'

'You want to come, Éowyn?'

'I think I'll go read my book.'

'Rosie?'

'I'm uh, well, going to make homework in the community room with a friend of mine.'

'We don't have homework yet.'

'Bye!' Rosie walked to the door and left the room

'Okay, I'll go find her myself.

I never found her. When I came back in our room a few hours later, she was already back.

'Where were you?' I asked.

'My business sis my own.' She said.

'Okay, you don't have to be angry.'

That's about everything that happened yesterday. Now, for today, another exiting day in my high school-life. NOT! Miricals haven't left the world yet, I actually made it to breakfast today, barely…

'Psst! Endomiel! Wake up!'

'What? I want to sleep…' I moaned and I turned around end tried to go back to sleep.

'You'll miss breakfast…'

'Ooohh! Breakfast!' I was wide awake at once. 'Show me the food!'

'I can tell you grew up with hobbits.' Arwen laughed.

'It's not my fault I'm used to eating 9 meals a day.'

'9 meals a day? You must be starving here!'

'I am…' I said as my stomach rumbled.

'I guess your stomach agrees!' We saarted laughing again. I grabbed the clothes I prepared yesterday and put them on; my sneakers, baggy jeans and a tank top saying "if you can read this, you're too danm close" in tiny letters. To top it all, I tied my hair up in a knot and sprayd some hairspray on it. That should hold till lunch. No make-up, I don't like make- up, makes me feel…fake. Besides, they had all seen me yesterday, so the'll be surprised today.

As I walked into our mess, I could see my class sitting at one of the tables. This mess was only for us, the freshmen. It looks like this: I really really big room, a kitchen in the corner and around 7 giant wooden tabless, of witch 5 were occupied. On the left side od the room were 4 doors, on for every class. Our door was the third door on the left, or econd door on the rihgt, if you'd enter the room from the other side. If you walk through that door, you enter an other hallway, with two doors on the left and three on the right, exept if you enter the hall from the other side, then it would be 3 left, 2 right. My room was the second door left, if you entered through our mess. That's what happned yesterday, I took the wrong turn and ended up in B1, Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Sam and Legolas their room.

After I got dressed, I walked out my, or our, room. Legolas was standing on the other side of the hallway, some 10 metres away. 'Nice shirt!' he shouted

'Can you read what it says?'

'Yeah…'

'You're too close! Beat it!' I shouted as a walked over to our dining room.

'Still to close?'he said as he walked next to me.

'Way too close.' I joked.

'I'll leave. See you in class.'

'Just kidding!'

'I know!'he walked over to an empty table, and so did I. Today, I decided to wake up alone, for I was still pretty much asleep during breakfast, so I sat down on an empty table.

'Hi Endomiel.' I looked up from my breakfast.

'Hi Boromir. How you doing?'

'Fine. How are you doing? You look like you haven't slept all night!'

'I slep, but I'm not used to waking up earlly in the morning…' I yawned.

My first class today was Westron in room 1. Círdan's nice, could be worse, could be etter, you know, the usual theacher. Second class: Geologie in room 5. Teacher: Haldir. Geologie's nice, I like geomogie 'cause, well, I just do. After Geologie was our first lunchbreak. Thank goddess for lunchbreaks!! This time I sat with the Hobbits, or actually, they sat with me.

'Hi Endy!' Pippin said. 'Long time no see.'

'Hey Pip! Hey guys.'

'Hi.' Frodo said. 'How are you doing?'

'Okay I guess, pretty good actually, exept the lunchbreak thing, only 3 meals a day!'

'And they don't even have mushrooms!' Merry complained. 'How can they not have mushrooms?'

'I know Merry.' I said. 'No shrooms. And I really miss second breakfast.'

'So do I!' Sam said. 'I think I'm actually losing weight!'

We all laughed. Arwen, Éowyn and Estel sat across the table.

'What's so funny?' Arwen asked.

'Sam's losing weight…' I laughed. 'Losing weight…'

We all started laughing even harder. Sam almost fell on the floor laughing.

'I don't get it.' Estel said.

'I don't either.' Éowyn sobbed.

'Hey, you're Estel, aren't you?' I asked Estel. I knew who he was, nut I never actually met him, so…

'Yeah, I am.'

'Hi, I'm Endomiel.' I suck my hand out across the table.

'But we call her Endy.' Pippin said. I glared at him.

'No Pip, you call her Endy.' Sam laughed.

'Nice to meat you, Endomiel.'

'Pleasure's all mine.' I said.

Soon, we were talking and laughing, like we've know eachother all our lives. Éowyn and Arwen shot an occasional glare at me, for being close with Estel, what is their problem? A few minutes later, Faramir, Éomer and a very annoyed Boromir joind us at our table. Diamond and Rosie also joined our table. I looked around, and that's when I saw him. He was sitting all by himself again. You know, he wouldn't have such a problemm making friends if he just sat with us during the brakes. Oh well, I'll see what I can do. I stood up and walked over to Legolas.

'Hey, how're you doing?' I asked him.

'Fine.'

'You want to sit with us.'

'No, I'm okay.'

'You can sit with us if you want to.'

'I'm okay, really.'

'Come on, they won't bite! Well, maybe if you want them to…' We laughed. I don't think I've ever seen him laught at all. Well, I did now.

Anyway, Legolas agreed to come with me after I said he could always return to his lonely spot at this table if he wanted too. I dragged Legolas over to our table and sat him on a chair. Suddenly, all was silent. After a while is said 'Hi everybody, this is Legolas.'

'Hi.' Legolas mumbeled while staring at the table.

Still, nobody made a sound. This could be the longest silance ever in the history of introduction.

'Come on guys, he won't bite!' I said.

'Hi Legolas.' Frodo said. I made a sigh of relief. Now the ice was broken, they all said hi and resumed their talks. Again, Legolas was sitting all alone. At least now he was alone in the middle of a group of people. Wait, isn't that even worse? I could see the others looking at Legolas, they were obviusly talking about him. People started leaving our table. It looked like they were leaving, but we still had about 10 minutes till our next class. About a minute later, our table was empty, exept for me and Leglas.

'That didn't go all to well, did it?' I asked him.

'Not all too well? It was pure torture! Do you think I didn't hear them talking about me, poining fingers at me? Do they really think I don't see them sitting down again behind me?'

'They sat down again?' I said as I turned around. There they were, sitting at the table behind us.

'Do me a fafour, will you?'

'Sure.'

'Never ever dragg me into one of your stupid ideas, you know, don't even try to be my friend anymore. Don't even talk to me!'

'I'm just trying to help!'

'I don't want your help!' he shouted as he walked off to his room.

I took al look at the clock. 5 minutes 'till class. I'd better get my books for music and my stuff for archery. I walked over to my room. I could hear people talking inside.

'That guy is such a weirdo! To think he actually came to sit with us!' I heared Éowyn say.

'He certainly won't try that again!' Arwen laughed.

I slammed the door open. 'You two can be so childish! Tha guy has feelings too you know!' I shouted. I grabbed my stuff as quickly as possible and rushed out of the room.

'Endomiel…' I could hear them calling me. "I'm not going back in there." I thought. "Spoilt little brats."

I walked into someone at full spead and all my stuff wnet flying all over the place. 'Wach it will you!' I shouted.

'It's your fault! You wach it!' Legolas shouted back.

'Piss off.' I said.

'Bitch.'

'Asshole.' Legolas walked on. Annoying basterd. I was only trying to help him. Well, if doesn't want my friendship, fine. He can go to Mordor as far as I'm concernd. I picked my stuff off the ground.

'What happened to you?' Faramir asked.

'Oh, nothing.'

'You had a fight with someone?'

'No, I bumped into someone.'

'Who?'

'Nobody.'

'Here, I'll help.' Faramir grabbed my bow of the floor. 'Nice bow! What kind is it?'

'It's an Lothlorien bow. I got it for my birthday last year.'

'Cool.' That's when the bell rang. We walked to class. Actually made it on time! Go me!

O no! I forgoth the guy next to me. I have to sit next to Legolas again… I desided to ignore him, at least the rest of the day. Screw him.

Second break I hang around with Faramir and Éomer. They're pretty cool too. We hung around outside for a change. The woods are beautifull here. All is in harmony… We sat down on the grass and ate our lunch. I could get used to living here. I lied down on the grass.

'Don't fall asleep!' Éomer said.

'I won't, I'm just taking a break.'

'What's our next class?'Faramir asked.

'Fencing.' Éomer said.

'I like fencing…' I said dreamily.

'So do I!' Faramir said. 'I like the moventents and the, well, you know what I mean.' He stood up and did some of the movements. That was so funny! Éomer and I started laughing. Faramir turned around and pointed his imaginairy sword at my neck.

'Haha! Got you now!' He said.

'No you don't!' I said as a rolled over and graabed his feet. Faramir came falling down. He landed on the ground next to me, laughing his head off. We just layed there untill Éomer told us class would begin in 5 minutes.

'I still have to get my stuff!' I said as I stood up and ran towards my room.

'Wait for me!' Faramir shouted as he came running behind me. We entered our class's bedroom hall, you know, the big hall with the bedrooms I told you of. I rushed into my room and grabbed my stuff. As I ran out of my room, I could see Legolas sitting in his room across the hall. "Shall I go and talk to him?" I thought. "No. He started it, let him do the making up."

'Faramir, you coming?' I shouted from his room's door.

'Wait a sec, I have to get my stuff.'

'Okay.'

'You can come in if you want.' I opened the door. Unbelievable! We're only here two days, ant they had already turned their room into a complete mess! How do they do it?

'Let's go.' Faramir said.

The rest of the day was pretty boring. Fencing was fun, history was, well, we all got a lecture from Gildor, he want us to form a group, you know, all be friend. With the smelly dwarves? Now way! I understand why Elves hate dwarves! I haven't had a talk with them yet, but they already called me names 5 times! Annoying, good for nothing dwarves. Dinner was pretty boring, I'll skip that. I actually managed to ignore Legolas the rest of the day. Well, it's his own fault.

That's about it,

Namarië!!

Endomiel
