Chapter nine; The new girl arrives.
**************************************************************************** ********************
Halimath 8th, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Hi readers!
Today, the new girl arrived. She's okay, but there's something weird about her. How can she be an elf, and have curles, and green eyes? I say contacts and perm. :) Anyway, that's not the only strange thing about her, wait and see, or read actually…
I woke up this morning, I took a shouwer and clad myself in the some other baggy jeans, but the same shirt. (the one saying 'don't just stare, buy me a drink' remember?). Put my sneakers on my feet and ran over to the mess. I was like, really hungry. I grabbed a tray and stacked it with food. I sat down at an empty table. There was hardly anyone in the mess, but I knew people would be coming for breakfast soon. I can't believe I actually woke up early this morning, without a good reason… *yawn* this getting up early thing wasn't like me. Someone entered the mess, but I didn't really pay attention, for I was to occupied with my food. Suddenly, I felt two arms around my neck.
'Good morning.' Legolas said.
'Hi.' I said as a shook his arms off.
'Cranky this morning?'
'No, you know people'd better no find out about us.'
'I don't care, screw my dad.'
'IWWW!'
*sigh* 'It's just a figure of speech.'
'I know that.'
'Sure you do.'
'I do!'
'Aren't you a little bit young to get married?'
Now, it was my turn to sigh. 'I'm not going to get married. At least not any time soon.'
'Oh.' He kissed me on my cheek. 'Are we dating or not?'
'I dunno.' I said. 'I don't think so.'
'Why not?'
'Because we're not allowed.'
'That won't stop me.'
'I kind of suspected that.' He grinned and sat down next to me. 'We at least have to keep it secret, so no kissing and stuff like that in public, okay?'
'Deal.' He kissed me.
'What did I just say?'
'No kissing and stuff, but that was the last one, I promise.'
'Okay.' I said and I kissed him back.
'Hey, what did we just agreed upon? Now don't go breaking the rules.' He smiled.
'Rules are for the breaking.' I said and I stood up to get more food. When I returned to my seat, Estel was sitting next to Legolas. Probably keeping an eye on us, just making sure nobody finds out about us, and helping us remember not to make it to obvius. I sat with the two of them. I caught the last part of their conversation.
'Just remember what can happenen if any of the dwarves find out.' Estel said.
'I know.' Legolas said.
'What's with the dwarves?' I asked the guys.
'They're annoying.' Legolas asked me.
'I know that.'
'How do you mean?'
'Oh, they call me names and stuff, and I make them fall over and drop their stuff.'
'How do you do that?'
'Uh…' I can't tell them I use my powers to do that… 'I uh, kind of bump into them and stuff.'
'Oh.'
'Hey, are we still going to the ruins tonight?'
'Yeah, if you two still want to go.' Estel said. I looked at Legolas. He shook his head.
'Yeah, we're coming. But I'm going guys, I still have to get my books from my room.' I said is I noticed Éowyn, Arwen,Rosie, Elanor and Sam enter the room. Sam? Why isn't he with the other hobbits? Oh well. He seems to be having a nice conversation with Rosie. I'm actually starting to suspect something here… I stood up, and looked at Legolas.
'I'll walk with you.' He said as he stood up and walked me to my room. We entered my room,and closed the door. 'Finnaly, privacy.' He whispered in my ear. I turned around an he kissed me. We spent quite some time kissing in there, utill someone came in. Arwen didn't notice us at first, since we were lieing on my bed, but after a few secondes, she did…
'O my Eru!' She yelled. 'What the…' I pushed Legolas off me and ran over to Arwen before she got the chance to run away.
'Arwen, shhhh! Keep it quit okay? We're supposed to keep this a secret.' I said.
'But… you … and him…' By the look on her face I could see she was pretty shocked. 'How long has this been going on?'
'Not too long, since yeserday.'
'O my… Tell me it isn't true…'
'What? Is it that bad? It's not that bad, really.'
'My o my…'
'Arwen, there's no need to exagerate! And I'd apreciate it if you could keep it secret.'
'Why?'
'Estel's orders.'
'Okay. I'll try.'
'That's not good enough Arwen, you have to promiss.'
'I…I promise.'
'Okay. I'll see you in class okay?' I said as a let her out the room.
'I guess…' I closed the door behind her and dropped myself on my bed.
'That was close.' Legolas said.
'It sure was.'
'What time is it?' Legolas asked me.
'Uhm, 8:07.'
'We still have 23 minutes.'
'I know…'
*Some 15 minutes later…*
I pushed Legolas out of my room. He walked to the mess, and waited. I fixed my hair and packed my bag, and walked over to the mess too.
'Hi there.' Legolas said.
'Hi.'
'Come on you two.' Estel pushed me to the other side of the mess. 'Time to go to class.'
'Oh, right, I almost forgot.' Legolas said.
We walked to our classroom. The week started off with History from Gildor, our mentor. History is nice, Gildor is boring… *yawn* We sat down on our chairs. I was so glad the third in our row was empty! There was something about that third chair… I couldn't quite remember what, but it'd think of it soon.
Gildor started explaining things about Morgoth and Sauron, two evil guys who had tried to take over Middle-Earth. Hey, that's my job! Job-snatching bastards. He started telling us about this ring thingy, and the person who had it would be able to rule all of Middle-Earth with it's evil power. –Mental note: got to get a hold of that ring!- Some 15 minutes later, someone knocked on the door. I really hoped it wasn't Gandalf coming to tell me and Legolas that you're actully not allowed to be dating, and boys aren't allowed to enter a girls room. We'd be in deep shit… Luckely, it wasn't him. It was a tall, uh, I guess it's an elf, but it could be a mortal girl too. She probably woundered into the wrong room or something.
'May I ask who is disturbing my class? And take off your hood when you're speaking, please.' Gildor said. The girl put the hood down. Boromir whistled. Okay, so she wasn't ugly, but did he really have to do that? Guys…
'I'm Elvealauregaladriel Aure.' The girl said. Great, just great, another oversized name I had to remember. I'll just have to think of a shorter form. Or wait for one of the guys to do that.
'What?' Some of the guys said. Of course, the stupid dwarves didn't hear her. Dwarves are kind of deaf. Really, they don't hear anything.
'Elvea for short.' She said.
'Why are you here?' Gildor asked her.
'I came here because my parents want me to meat people of m own age.' She answered. Suddenly I knew what I forgot, the new girl was due to arrive today! I guess that's her. :) Oh no… The only seat left is on the other side of Legolas…
'Hey Leg.' I whispered.
'What?'
'Is there any way we can get her to sit somewhere else?'
'We could annoy her until she desides to switch places with Arwen or Estel or something.'
'I guess we could do that.'
'Have a seat.' Gildor told the girl. Her name's Elvea, remember that! She looked around the room, and her gaze stopped at us, actually, at Legolas. She'd better stay away from him, if she knows what's good for her…
She walked over to our table and layed her books on it.
'Just great, now I'm stuck inbetween two peasants…' Legolas said. I grinned. WE'd better start annoying her right away, the sooner she'd be gone. By Eru, I sound cruel. :o)
'And who in Eru's name do you think you are?' She responded.
'Legolas Greenleaf, prince …'
'And princess.' I said
'Stop that, I'm not the princess.'
'You're not?' I said.
*sigh* 'No. Legolas Greeleaf, PRINCE of Mirkwood. And you are a mere subject.'
She started laughing. What's she doing that for?
'Nice to meat you, I'm the princess of Laurelindrian in the Blessed Realm. That makes me a High-Elf, and you're a Sindar Elf. If I'm not mistaking…'
'But you are.' I whispered to Legolas. He grinned.
'If I'm not mistaking.' She repeated herself. 'That makes you my subject and not the other way around.' I could see from the look on her face she was actually thinking about sticking her tounge out to him. Phatetic.
'You go girl!' Noviën shouted. Had they all been listning to her? Oh man, they didn't actually believe her, did they?
'Call me a peasant, she'll pay for that.' Legolas muttered under his breath.
'if there are no further interruptions, I would like to go on with class.' Gildor said and he started talking about that ring again.
After History, there was Quenya. I'm actually getting used to Elronds Quenya, but I still think he's ruining the language. Oh well, I'll live. Lunchbreak was next.
Legolas was still pretty annoyed, and didn't say anything during the whole Quenya class. I'll try to cheer him up later today, like during the lunchbreak.
I saw Elvea walk to her room, and desided to give her a piece of my mind.
'Hey, Elvea, wait a sec.' She turned around.
'What is it?'
'You don't have to be such a bitch angainst 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.' I 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 sarcasm! 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 "exadentally'" bump into my elbow when I'm writing.' We laughed. I guess she's not that bad after all. 'You know, Legolas isn't that bad when you get to knw him really. You should try to talk to him sometime.'
'But I'd better not come too close.'
'Exactly.'
'So you do like him.' Could I tell her? I guess it's better not to..
'He's a nice guy.' I said. 'And if anyone finds out I said this to you, you'll find youself 5 feet under the ground next time you wake up.' We laughed.
'I'll try to remember that.' She said.
'You'd better, for your own health.'
'See you in class.' She said.
'See you.' I walked into our room. My mess was still on her bed. Oh well, I'll clean it later. :o)
I packed my bag and ran over to the mess. There he was, sitting alone, staring at the table. I sat next to him.
'How're you doing?' I asked him.
'Fine.'
'And now tell me the truth.'
'That new girl is really bugging me. Just look how she's staring at us.' I looked in the direction Legolas pointed.
'I don't think she's starin at us.' I said. 'I think she wants help. See who she's talking to?'
'Vebor.' Legolas said. He grinned. 'I guess he's trying to claim his next trophy.' Vebor was a real womanizer. And a gerk. Man, I think he's trying to get together with all the girls on the planet. Elf, Human or Hobbit… Maybe even Dwarf! I shruddered. Vebor can be nice, especially when I'm sitting with Legolas, Estel, Éomer, Faramir and Boromir. I think he doesn't like my attitude, and he feels I'll just shoot him down. :o) Thank Eru he doesn't come after me. I almost feel sorry for Elvea… Nah. The bel rang to anounce the end of the break.
We walked over to the dressing rooms. I entered the girls-dressingroom, and he walked into the boys-dressingroom. (DUH) A few minutes later, we all walked out of the ressing room, wearing our swimming-suits. Vebor whistled. We we going to swim laps the first 40 minutes. That's boring… the second 40 minutes, we were going to do a game of Waterpolo. I love that sport! (E/N: I really do!! I'm in the first team of my uh, village kinda thingy and I scoored 6 goals this weekend! Go me!! :P) 45 minutes later, I walked out of the dressing room again, dressed in my normal clothes. My team won!! Of course. Oh, and Elvea got detention. MWUHAHAHA!!! I got to get myself some detention to, might be fun and it looks good on my record. :o)
Anyway, it was lunchbreak again. The guys and I ran to the mess, grabbed out food and ran to the field.
'We're still going tonight, right?' Faramir said.
'Of course.' I said and I looked at Legolas.
'I'm coming.' Legolas said.
'Cool, I mean, that's great, 'cause that's what we agreed upon. I'm really lookin foreward to it! I want to know what's down there. Maybe it's some kind of old ruin… Maybe There are People or Elves down there… waybe there's a ghost, or a lot of sceletons, or a secret something, or that ring Gildor was talking about…'
'Faramir, time to shut up again.' Boromir said.
'O okay, it's just that, I'm really exited. I hope I wake up on time. You guys will wake me up if I don't wake up on time, right?'
'If you keep talking, we may deside to go there half an hour earlyer, and not tell you so you won't be able to come.'
'You will?' Faramir looked really disppointed.
'Just one thing guys, if we find that ring, you have to promiss to give it to me as soon as you can, okay?'
'Why?'
'I, uh, I want to hold it okay.'
'You want to rule all of Middle-Earth, don't you?' Boromir joked.
'Yeah, I do.' I joked back. They'd better not find out I really do… :o) The rest of the break, we just sat on the field, talking, joking around. I hope the guys didn't notice that Legolas and I were sitting pretty close to eachother. They probably didn't, I mean, they are guys. :o) I think I'm overdoing the smily's, oh well. :o)
After the break, we had Biologie and Sindarin. Not too bad, but I was looking foreward to the time after class… multiple reasons… So I didn't really pay attention during those classes.
In my eyes, it took ages for the next break to come… But it did. Eventually. The guys and I sat outside again, enjoying our meal and just fooling around again. Legolas and Estel gave me their gello, I guess they didn't like it. Something about it tasting like rubber and looking like some green yukkie kind of shaky stuff. So, it looked funny. We never had this back in the Shire. I could see the Hobbits sitting a few metres away.
'Can you actually eat this?' Frodo asked Merry while Pippin took a bite.
'Hey, it's not that bad.'
'What does it taste like?' Merry asked.
'Mushrooms.'
'Oh no… I'm not eating it.' Frodo said. 'What if it makes me puke again?'
'Don't pay atantion to Pippin, he thinks everything tastes like Mushrooms.' Merry chuckeled.
'It does taste like Mushrooms. It really does.' Pippin said in his most convincing voise.
'Sure Pippin.' Merry said as he took a bite.
'Hey Endomiel.' Legolas said. 'Do you actually like the gello?'
'Yeah, it tastes funny. And it doesn't look like food. Look, I can see right true it!'
'Yeah, that's gello for ya.' After finishing our food, Faramir and Éomer offered to take our trays back to the mess on the other side of the lawn. Legolas layed down next to me.
'You look good out of this perspective.'
'Okay… I think I'll take that as a compliment.' He put his arms around mi waist and pulled me down. I lied next to him, my head on his chest.
'He guys…' Estel said.
'What?' I asked as I lifted my head. He pointed at Boromir. Boromir was sitting next to Estel, some 3 feet away from us. He was staring at us, mouth wide open. Oh right, he didn't know yet. Damn… How was I going to fix this… uhuhuh… I sat up again and moved away from Legolas. He looked at me with his big blue eyes. I pointed my tumb at Boromir.
'Oh, I get it.' He whispered. He roled over and sat back up. We started laughing at him. 'What?'
'Your hair…' I laughed.
'What's the matter with it?' Legolas asked, quite concerned. His hair was his pride. If I'd ever notice any of my hair-care-products missing, Legolas'll be my first suspect.
'There's grass…' Estel laughed. 'Grass… in your… your hair…' We laughed even more. Legolas started picking the grass out of his hair. It wasn't working… :o) I walked over to legoas and sat behind him.
'Here, I'll help you.' I said as I started picking the grass out of his hair.
'Are you done yet?' He asked after a few minutes.
'Almost… just a few… done.' He turned around and kissed me. 'Don't do that!' I said in his ear.'They're not supposed to know remember!'
'Oh shit, you're right.' He whispered. The bel rang again. Phew, we were really saved by the bell this time. I grabbed my bag, wich I had repacked at the beginning of the break, and walked to room 4 where Gildor was waiting for us. Now, for the fasinating hour, 45 minutes actually, of homeroom.
After homeroom, I went to my room to uh, I don't remember why, but I did.Elvea was already there.
'Which bed is mine?' She asked me.
'That one over there.' I said as I pointed to the bed where I stacked my junk. I grabbed a lollipop from my bag. Mmmm, grape. 'Want one?' I asked her.
'Uh, no thanks. Aren't you going to clean up your mess?'
'Uhm, nope.'
'Okay, whatever.' She said and she snapped her fingers. What did she do that for? I turned around and looked at the bed.
'What the…' Where was all my junk? Why was it on my bed? How did she do that? I snapped my fingers and returned the junk to its rightfull place, her bed. HAH!
'How…' She said.
'Do you happen to be the…' At that moment, the other girls walked in. they saw the problem, and removed their stuff. I snapped my fingers, and my stuff was gone. Or in other words, I magically folded it and it's now all in my closet. I hate cleaning my room…
'Hi, I'm Elvea.' She said
'Arwen.'
'Rosie.'
'Éowyn.'
'Elanor.' They shook hands.
'Welcome to G1.' I said. She started unpacking her bags. I left the room, looking for the guys. Might spen my time usefull since it wasn't dinnertime yet.
I found the guys in the mess, sitting at a table, playing cards. I guess Boromir was winning, 'cause he had this huge pile of coins on the table in front of him.
'Hey Boromir, rich friend'o mine!' I said.
'What do you want?' Boromir said.
'Uhm, I dunno. I just saw that huge pile of money, and I desided that I would like to sit with you.'
'You're hungry, aren't you?'
'I'm always hungry.' I said as I licked my lips.
'Go sit with Legolas.' Boromir said. 'He wont mind. Maybe you'll find some grass in his hair.'
'Is that what's bothering you?' I asked him.
'No.'
'Oh, of course not. You're mad because you're winning all this money, and you'd rather lose.'
'I'm mad because everybody seems to know about it, exept me.'
'Know about what?' Legolas asked as they passed around cards.
'As if you don't know.'
'Don't know what?'
'I see what's happening between you and Endomiel, I'm not blind you know.'
'How do you mean?' I asked in my most shocked voice and look.
'Oh come on! You don't have to hide it. I saw you two kissing, you know, on the lawn this morning.'
'That's an Elfish way to uh, say thanks.' Legolas said.
'Sure, and this is an Human way to say, I believe you.' He stuck up his midle-finger and walked over to the vending machines. He threw in a coin, but whatever he bought didn't fall out. I walked over to the machine.
'Hey Boromir, we didn't tell you, because I didn't want you to know. The only ones that know are me, Legolas, Estel and Arwen, oh, and now you do to. You have too keep it secret, and that means not telling Faramir, Éomer or the Hobbits, okay?'
'Why couldn't I know?'
'You have to ask Legolas that.'
'You said you didn't want anyone to know.'
'Oh, yeah, falling in love might ruin my bad-ass reputation.'
'Aha, I see.' I kicked the machine and the candy fell out. 'Thanks.'
'You're welcome.' I said and I walked over to the table. I sat next to Legolas.
'Did you tell him?'
'Yeah.'
'What did he say?'
'He asked why we didn't tell him.'
'And what did you say?'
'That he couldn't tell it to anyone because it's bad for my image.'
'Did he believe it?'
'Not really, I told him to ask you for the real reason.'
'Damn.'
'Hey! They started serving dinner!' I ran over to the dinner-serving-place and grabbed some food.
When I returned, Legolas, Boromir and Estel were having a talk. Probably about Legolas' issue. I sat next to Legolas, inbetween him and Boromir.
'Hey, I was sitting there!' Boromir said.
'Not anymore!' I said and I stuck out my tounge. 'I need to sit here.'
'Why?'
'Why do you think?' I said and I hugged Legolas.
'Oh, now I get it.'
After dinner, the lot of us took a walk outside and sat on the grass. We sat, or actually layed there quite some time.
I think I actually saw Éomer and Elvea walk by some time that night. Strange… I guess there's something in the air… Well, I'll stop now, I want to get some sleep before we go to that ruin-kinda-thingy under the ground in the valley. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow!!
Namarië!!!

Chapter nine; The new girl arrives.

Halimath 8th, 1384 (Shire Reckoning)
Hi readers!
Today, the new girl arrived. She's okay, but there's something weird about her. How can she be an elf, and have curles, and green eyes? I say contacts and perm. :) Anyway, that's not the only strange thing about her, wait and see, or read actually…
I woke up this morning, I took a shouwer and clad myself in the some other baggy jeans, but the same shirt. (the one saying 'don't just stare, buy me a drink' remember?). Put my sneakers on my feet and ran over to the mess. I was like, really hungry. I grabbed a tray and stacked it with food. I sat down at an empty table. There was hardly anyone in the mess, but I knew people would be coming for breakfast soon.

'Hi.' I said as a shook his arms off.
'Cranky this morning?'
'No, you know people'd better no find out about us.'
'I don't care, screw my dad.'
'IWWW!'
*sigh* 'It's just a figure of speech.'
'I know that.'
'Sure you do.'
'I do!'
'Aren't you a little bit young to get married?'
Now, it was my turn to sigh. 'I'm not going to get married. At least not any time soon.'
'Oh.' He kissed me on my cheek. 'Are we dating or not?'
'I dunno.' I said. 'I don't think so.'
'Why not?'
'Because we're not allowed.'
'That won't stop me.'
'I kind of suspected that.' He grinned and sat down next to me. 'We at least have to keep it secret, so no kissing and stuff like that in public, okay?'
'Deal.' He kissed me.
'What did I just say?'
'No kissing and stuff, but that was the last one, I promise.'
'Okay.' I said and I kissed him back.
'Hey, what did we just agreed upon? Now don't go breaking the rules.' He smiled.
'Rules are for the breaking.' I said and I stood up to get more food. When I returned to my seat, Estel was sitting next to Legolas. Probably keeping an eye on us, just making sure nobody finds out about us, and helping us remember not to make it to obvius. I sat with the two of them. I caught the last part of their conversation.
'Just remember what can happenen if any of the dwarves find out.' Estel said.
'I know.' Legolas said.
'What's with the dwarves?' I asked the guys.
'They're annoying.' Legolas asked me.
'I know that.'
'How do you mean?'
'Oh, they call me names and stuff, and I make them fall over and drop their stuff.'
'How do you do that?'
'Uh…' I can't tell them I use my powers to do that… 'I uh, kind of bump into them and stuff.'
'Oh.'
'Hey, are we still going to the ruins tonight?'
'Yeah, if you two still want to go.' Estel said. I looked at Legolas. He shook his head.
'Yeah, we're coming. But I'm going guys, I still have to get my books from my room.' I said is I noticed Éowyn, Arwen,Rosie, Elanor and Sam enter the room. Sam? Why isn't he with the other hobbits? Oh well. He seems to be having a nice conversation with Rosie. I'm actually starting to suspect something here… I stood up, and looked at Legolas.
'I'll walk with you.' He said as he stood up and walked me to my room. We entered my room,and closed the door. 'Finnaly, privacy.' He whispered in my ear. I turned around an he kissed me. We spent quite some time kissing in there, utill someone came in. Arwen didn't notice us at first, since we were lieing on my bed, but after a few secondes, she did…
'O my Eru!' She yelled. 'What the…' I pushed Legolas off me and ran over to Arwen before she got the chance to run away.
'Arwen, shhhh! Keep it quit okay? We're supposed to keep this a secret.' I said.
'But… you … and him…' By the look on her face I could see she was pretty shocked. 'How long has this been going on?'
'Not too long, since yeserday.'
'O my… Tell me it isn't true…'
'What? Is it that bad? It's not that bad, really.'
'My o my…'
'Arwen, there's no need to exagerate! And I'd apreciate it if you could keep it secret.'
'Why?'
'Estel's orders.'
'Okay. I'll try.'
'That's not good enough Arwen, you have to promiss.'
'I…I promise.'
'Okay. I'll see you in class okay?' I said as a let her out the room.
'I guess…' I closed the door behind her and dropped myself on my bed.
'That was close.' Legolas said.
'It sure was.'
'What time is it?' Legolas asked me.
'Uhm, 8:07.'
'We still have 23 minutes.'
'I know…'
*Some 15 minutes later…*
I pushed Legolas out of my room. He walked to the mess, and waited. I fixed my hair and packed my bag, and walked over to the mess too.
'Hi there.' Legolas said.
'Hi.'
'Come on you two.' Estel pushed me to the other side of the mess. 'Time to go to class.'
'Oh, right, I almost forgot.' Legolas said.
We walked to our classroom. The week started off with History from Gildor, our mentor. History is nice, Gildor is boring… *yawn* We sat down on our chairs. I was so glad the third in our row was empty! There was something about that third chair… I couldn't quite remember what, but it'd think of it soon.
Gildor started explaining things about Morgoth and Sauron, two evil guys who had tried to take over Middle-Earth. Hey, that's my job! Job-snatching bastards. He started telling us about this ring thingy, and the person who had it would be able to rule all of Middle-Earth with it's evil power. –Mental note: got to get a hold of that ring!- Some 15 minutes later, someone knocked on the door. I really hoped it wasn't Gandalf coming to tell me and Legolas that you're actully not allowed to be dating, and boys aren't allowed to enter a girls room. We'd be in deep shit… Luckely, it wasn't him. It was a tall, uh, I guess it's an elf, but it could be a mortal girl too. She probably woundered into the wrong room or something.
'May I ask who is disturbing my class? And take off your hood when you're speaking, please.' Gildor said. The girl put the hood down. Boromir whistled. Okay, so she wasn't ugly, but did he really have to do that? Guys…
'I'm Elvealauregaladriel Aure.' The girl said. Great, just great, another oversized name I had to remember. I'll just have to think of a shorter form. Or wait for one of the guys to do that.
'What?' Some of the guys said. Of course, the stupid dwarves didn't hear her. Dwarves are kind of deaf. Really, they don't hear anything.
'Elvea for short.' She said.
'Why are you here?' Gildor asked her.
'I came here because my parents want me to meat people of m own age.' She answered. Suddenly I knew what I forgot, the new girl was due to arrive today! I guess that's her. :) Oh no… The only seat left is on the other side of Legolas…
'Hey Leg.' I whispered.
'What?'
'Is there any way we can get her to sit somewhere else?'
'We could annoy her until she desides to switch places with Arwen or Estel or something.'
'I guess we could do that.'
'Have a seat.' Gildor told the girl. Her name's Elvea, remember that! She looked around the room, and her gaze stopped at us, actually, at Legolas. She'd better stay away from him, if she knows what's good for her…
She walked over to our table and layed her books on it.
'Just great, now I'm stuck inbetween two peasants…' Legolas said. I grinned. WE'd better start annoying her right away, the sooner she'd be gone. By Eru, I sound cruel. :o)
'And who in Eru's name do you think you are?' She responded.
'Legolas Greenleaf, prince …'
'And princess.' I said
'Stop that, I'm not the princess.'
'You're not?' I said.
*sigh* 'No. Legolas Greeleaf, PRINCE of Mirkwood. And you are a mere subject.'
She started laughing. What's she doing that for?
'Nice to meat you, I'm the princess of Laurelindrian in the Blessed Realm. That makes me a High-Elf, and you're a Sindar Elf. If I'm not mistaking…'
'But you are.' I whispered to Legolas. He grinned.
'If I'm not mistaking.' She repeated herself. 'That makes you my subject and not the other way around.' I could see from the look on her face she was actually thinking about sticking her tounge out to him. Phatetic.
'You go girl!' Noviën shouted. Had they all been listning to her? Oh man, they didn't actually believe her, did they?
'Call me a peasant, she'll pay for that.' Legolas muttered under his breath.
'if there are no further interruptions, I would like to go on with class.' Gildor said and he started talking about that ring again.
After History, there was Quenya. I'm actually getting used to Elronds Quenya, but I still think he's ruining the language. Oh well, I'll live. Lunchbreak was next.
Legolas was still pretty annoyed, and didn't say anything during the whole Quenya class. I'll try to cheer him up later today, like during the lunchbreak.
I saw Elvea walk to her room, and desided to give her a piece of my mind.
'Hey, Elvea, wait a sec.' She turned around.
'What is it?'
'You don't have to be such a bitch angainst 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.' I 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 sarcasm! 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 "exadentally'" bump into my elbow when I'm writing.' We laughed. I guess she's not that bad after all. 'You know, Legolas isn't that bad when you get to knw him really. You should try to talk to him sometime.'
'But I'd better not come too close.'
'Exactly.'
'So you do like him.' Could I tell her? I guess it's better not to..
'He's a nice guy.' I said. 'And if anyone finds out I said this to you, you'll find youself 5 feet under the ground next time you wake up.' We laughed.
'I'll try to remember that.' She said.
'You'd better, for your own health.'
'See you in class.' She said.
'See you.' I walked into our room. My mess was still on her bed. Oh well, I'll clean it later. :o)
I packed my bag and ran over to the mess. There he was, sitting alone, staring at the table. I sat next to him.
'How're you doing?' I asked him.
'Fine.'
'And now tell me the truth.'
'That new girl is really bugging me. Just look how she's staring at us.' I looked in the direction Legolas pointed.
'I don't think she's starin at us.' I said. 'I think she wants help. See who she's talking to?'
'Vebor.' Legolas said. He grinned. 'I guess he's trying to claim his next trophy.' Vebor was a real womanizer. And a gerk. Man, I think he's trying to get together with all the girls on the planet. Elf, Human or Hobbit… Maybe even Dwarf! I shruddered. Vebor can be nice, especially when I'm sitting with Legolas, Estel, Éomer, Faramir and Boromir. I think he doesn't like my attitude, and he feels I'll just shoot him down. :o) Thank Eru he doesn't come after me. I almost feel sorry for Elvea… Nah. The bel rang to anounce the end of the break.
We walked over to the dressing rooms. I entered the girls-dressingroom, and he walked into the boys-dressingroom. (DUH) A few minutes later, we all walked out of the ressing room, wearing our swimming-suits. Vebor whistled. We we going to swim laps the first 40 minutes. That's boring… the second 40 minutes, we were going to do a game of Waterpolo. I love that sport! (E/N: I really do!! I'm in the first team of my uh, village kinda thingy and I scoored 6 goals this weekend! Go me!! :P) 45 minutes later, I walked out of the dressing room again, dressed in my normal clothes. My team won!! Of course. Oh, and Elvea got detention. MWUHAHAHA!!! I got to get myself some detention to, might be fun and it looks good on my record. :o)
Anyway, it was lunchbreak again. The guys and I ran to the mess, grabbed out food and ran to the field.
'We're still going tonight, right?' Faramir said.
'Of course.' I said and I looked at Legolas.
'I'm coming.' Legolas said.
'Cool, I mean, that's great, 'cause that's what we agreed upon. I'm really lookin foreward to it! I want to know what's down there. Maybe it's some kind of old ruin… Maybe There are People or Elves down there… waybe there's a ghost, or a lot of sceletons, or a secret something, or that ring Gildor was talking about…'
'Faramir, time to shut up again.' Boromir said.
'O okay, it's just that, I'm really exited. I hope I wake up on time. You guys will wake me up if I don't wake up on time, right?'
'If you keep talking, we may deside to go there half an hour earlyer, and not tell you so you won't be able to come.'
'You will?' Faramir looked really disppointed.
'Just one thing guys, if we find that ring, you have to promiss to give it to me as soon as you can, okay?'
'Why?'
'I, uh, I want to hold it okay.'
'You want to rule all of Middle-Earth, don't you?' Boromir joked.
'Yeah, I do.' I joked back. They'd better not find out I really do… :o) The rest of the break, we just sat on the field, talking, joking around. I hope the guys didn't notice that Legolas and I were sitting pretty close to eachother. They probably didn't, I mean, they are guys. :o) I think I'm overdoing the smily's, oh well. :o)
After the break, we had Biologie and Sindarin. Not too bad, but I was looking foreward to the time after class… multiple reasons… So I didn't really pay attention during those classes.
In my eyes, it took ages for the next break to come… But it did. Eventually. The guys and I sat outside again, enjoying our meal and just fooling around again. Legolas and Estel gave me their gello, I guess they didn't like it. Something about it tasting like rubber and looking like some green yukkie kind of shaky stuff. So, it looked funny. We never had this back in the Shire. I could see the Hobbits sitting a few metres away.
'Can you actually eat this?' Frodo asked Merry while Pippin took a bite.
'Hey, it's not that bad.'
'What does it taste like?' Merry asked.
'Mushrooms.'
'Oh no… I'm not eating it.' Frodo said. 'What if it makes me puke again?'
'Don't pay atantion to Pippin, he thinks everything tastes like Mushrooms.' Merry chuckeled.
'It does taste like Mushrooms. It really does.' Pippin said in his most convincing voise.
'Sure Pippin.' Merry said as he took a bite.
'Hey Endomiel.' Legolas said. 'Do you actually like the gello?'
'Yeah, it tastes funny. And it doesn't look like food. Look, I can see right true it!'
'Yeah, that's gello for ya.' After finishing our food, Faramir and Éomer offered to take our trays back to the mess on the other side of the lawn. Legolas layed down next to me.
'You look good out of this perspective.'
'Okay… I think I'll take that as a compliment.' He put his arms around mi waist and pulled me down. I lied next to him, my head on his chest.
'He guys…' Estel said.
'What?' I asked as I lifted my head. He pointed at Boromir. Boromir was sitting next to Estel, some 3 feet away from us. He was staring at us, mouth wide open. Oh right, he didn't know yet. Damn… How was I going to fix this… uhuhuh… I sat up again and moved away from Legolas. He looked at me with his big blue eyes. I pointed my tumb at Boromir.
'Oh, I get it.' He whispered. He roled over and sat back up. We started laughing at him. 'What?'
'Your hair…' I laughed.
'What's the matter with it?' Legolas asked, quite concerned. His hair was his pride. If I'd ever notice any of my hair-care-products missing, Legolas'll be my first suspect.
'There's grass…' Estel laughed. 'Grass… in your… your hair…' We laughed even more. Legolas started picking the grass out of his hair. It wasn't working… :o) I walked over to legoas and sat behind him.
'Here, I'll help you.' I said as I started picking the grass out of his hair.
'Are you done yet?' He asked after a few minutes.
'Almost… just a few… done.' He turned around and kissed me. 'Don't do that!' I said in his ear.'They're not supposed to know remember!'
'Oh shit, you're right.' He whispered. The bel rang again. Phew, we were really saved by the bell this time. I grabbed my bag, wich I had repacked at the beginning of the break, and walked to room 4 where Gildor was waiting for us. Now, for the fasinating hour, 45 minutes actually, of homeroom.
After homeroom, I went to my room to uh, I don't remember why, but I did.Elvea was already there.
'Which bed is mine?' She asked me.
'That one over there.' I said as I pointed to the bed where I stacked my junk. I grabbed a lollipop from my bag. Mmmm, grape. 'Want one?' I asked her.
'Uh, no thanks. Aren't you going to clean up your mess?'
'Uhm, nope.'
'Okay, whatever.' She said and she snapped her fingers. What did she do that for? I turned around and looked at the bed.
'What the…' Where was all my junk? Why was it on my bed? How did she do that? I snapped my fingers and returned the junk to its rightfull place, her bed. HAH!
'How…' She said.
'Do you happen to be the…' At that moment, the other girls walked in. they saw the problem, and removed their stuff. I snapped my fingers, and my stuff was gone. Or in other words, I magically folded it and it's now all in my closet. I hate cleaning my room…
'Hi, I'm Elvea.' She said
'Arwen.'
'Rosie.'
'Éowyn.'
'Elanor.' They shook hands.
'Welcome to G1.' I said. She started unpacking her bags. I left the room, looking for the guys. Might spen my time usefull since it wasn't dinnertime yet.
I found the guys in the mess, sitting at a table, playing cards. I guess Boromir was winning, 'cause he had this huge pile of coins on the table in front of him.
'Hey Boromir, rich friend'o mine!' I said.
'What do you want?' Boromir said.
'Uhm, I dunno. I just saw that huge pile of money, and I desided that I would like to sit with you.'
'You're hungry, aren't you?'
'I'm always hungry.' I said as I licked my lips.
'Go sit with Legolas.' Boromir said. 'He wont mind. Maybe you'll find some grass in his hair.'
'Is that what's bothering you?' I asked him.
'No.'
'Oh, of course not. You're mad because you're winning all this money, and you'd rather lose.'
'I'm mad because everybody seems to know about it, exept me.'
'Know about what?' Legolas asked as they passed around cards.
'As if you don't know.'
'Don't know what?'
'I see what's happening between you and Endomiel, I'm not blind you know.'
'How do you mean?' I asked in my most shocked voice and look.
'Oh come on! You don't have to hide it. I saw you two kissing, you know, on the lawn this morning.'
'That's an Elfish way to uh, say thanks.' Legolas said.
'Sure, and this is an Human way to say, I believe you.' He stuck up his midle-finger and walked over to the vending machines. He threw in a coin, but whatever he bought didn't fall out. I walked over to the machine.
'Hey Boromir, we didn't tell you, because I didn't want you to know. The only ones that know are me, Legolas, Estel and Arwen, oh, and now you do to. You have too keep it secret, and that means not telling Faramir, Éomer or the Hobbits, okay?'
'Why couldn't I know?'
'You have to ask Legolas that.'
'You said you didn't want anyone to know.'
'Oh, yeah, falling in love might ruin my bad-ass reputation.'
'Aha, I see.' I kicked the machine and the candy fell out. 'Thanks.'
'You're welcome.' I said and I walked over to the table. I sat next to Legolas.
'Did you tell him?'
'Yeah.'
'What did he say?'
'He asked why we didn't tell him.'
'And what did you say?'
'That he couldn't tell it to anyone because it's bad for my image.'
'Did he believe it?'
'Not really, I told him to ask you for the real reason.'
'Damn.'
'Hey! They started serving dinner!' I ran over to the dinner-serving-place and grabbed some food.
When I returned, Legolas, Boromir and Estel were having a talk. Probably about Legolas' issue. I sat next to Legolas, inbetween him and Boromir.
'Hey, I was sitting there!' Boromir said.
'Not anymore!' I said and I stuck out my tounge. 'I need to sit here.'
'Why?'
'Why do you think?' I said and I hugged Legolas.
'Oh, now I get it.'
After dinner, the lot of us took a walk outside and sat on the grass. We sat, or actually layed there quite some time.
I think I actually saw Éomer and Elvea walk by some time that night. Strange… I guess there's something in the air… Well, I'll stop now, I want to get some sleep before we go to that ruin-kinda-thingy under the ground in the valley. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow!!
Namarië!!!
