Dream.

~"FREEEAAAAAKKKK!" they shrieked, pointing and laughing at Kalina. "You've got straight hair! FRREAAAAKKKKK!"

"I'M NOT A FREAK!" Kalina screamed. "I'M A HOBBIT!"

"An abnormal one!" they jeered.

"Am not!" Kalina glared at the group of laughing hobbits.

"Are to!"

"Are NOT!"

"To!"

"NOT!"

"You're a freak Kalina, a freak, a freak, a FREAK!" they chanted. "Frodo'll never love you! NEVER, you hear that? NEVER! He'll never love you! Frodo won't love you, Frodo won't love you! He's in the Havens! He's not coming back and if he ever did -he'd never love you! You're a FREAK! He'll never love you!"

"He-he will!" she protested.

"FREAK! HE'LL NEVER! No Burrows can trust a Baggins! It's fatal to fall in love with one!"

"He will and I can."

"Can't! FREAK!"~

Kalina jerked herself out of sleep and the dream, hot all over, and sighing she kicked the covers off her, feeling close to tears. The whole thing was pointless.

The dream was right. He'd never. He'd never love her, he'd never come back, she should just forget about him. Instantly her mind cried out "NO!" but her sense was right.forget him. She could never do that. But she was a good actress; after all she'd been acting all her life of the hatred between her and the Bagginses. But that had been easy, she'd just glared at them and cried out insults, or speak in a voice full of hatred. She'd only done that round her relatives and family, when she was with friends or alone with the Bagginses, she was herself, she didn't loathe them at all. It's just, this time she was turning against her heart.

She almost screamed out in frustration as she realised that the true feelings in her heart were too much to ignore or act off. She-she, loved Frodo.she couldn't ignore that. And yet she couldn't keep her mother or admirers waiting any longer, or her mother would force her too. She'd act like she was ready, she'd act that she liked them.and maybe, maybe Frodo would return and she could stop acting and follow her heart.

"FREAAAAAKKK!" They shrieked again. "SLUT!"

"I'M NOT!"

"ARE! You're just pretending! It's unfair to pretend! It's slutty to pretend! Heart breaker!" they screamed, half of them rolling on the ground laughing.

Kalina didn't answer. It was true.She couldn't do this.she couldn't. It was too much.she'd just take a little more interest in them. Maybe that would shut her mother up. And maybe that wouldn't lead them on or break their heart, she was just getting to know them better.maybe they'd turn into her friends. And then Frodo would return. He would.

"FRODO'S IN THE HAVENS! HE WON'T COME BACK!" the group yelled again, still laughing.
