umm....review?!


Winterfilth 12


Legolas and I save seats for the others. Today for last block we are having a student council election. I wanted to go on student council but I need to go on grad council.

Students file into the auditorium, our friends spot us and head our way.

And guess what so does Cassie. Yay!

She sits next to Legolas, who grimaces at me.

" hi Legolas" she says.

Fuck I hate her little sing songy voice it makes me want to kill. It's like I'm a bull and her voice is the color red. Somehow I manage to hold it in.

" so you two aren't really going out are you? Because I've seen you Iliana out with another guy." She says to us.

Damn the plan backfired. Well it wasn't exactly a plan, hell it wasn't a plan.

" it's a wired relationship we have, I'm allowed to see other guys" I say stupidly.

" I'm not stupid you know" she snarls.

Could have fooled...well anyone.

This is when our friends show up, so I concentrate on them, leaving Legolas with the bitch. I'm going to pay for that mistake later I know it.

" hey" I say to everyone.

Eomer sits beside me, so him and I chat. Meanwhile I'm getting some very nasty pokes in my back. Ouch!

Eomer gives me a weird look.

" are you mad at him?" he says indicating Legolas.

I shake my head. " I'll tell you later"

" excuse me everyone" booms Elrond into the microphone on stage.

He waits for everyone to be quiet.

" we have a very fine group of hopefuls, for student council this year, please give them your undivided attention. We will start with Willow Barkley for secretary" he finishes and steps aside for the tall girl.

I don't recognize her, so she can be in my grade.

" as much as I hate this I'm so glad to get out of class" I say.

Eomer agrees.

" Eowyn is running for something I can't remember." He begins.

" minister of social affairs" I fill in.

" that's right, what's Arwen running for?" he asks.

" she's running?"

I didn't even know that. I'm such a good friend.

Willow starts talking but I keep talking with Eomer. From my other side I hear Cassie droning on and on to Legolas.

I'm starting to really pity him, I should do something, Eh, maybe later.

Eomer starts to fall asleep all ready, so I smack him on the head to wake him up. I can't blame the guy, I tried listening to Willow, but it was to hard.

She finally finishes and Elrond comes back to the mike.

The next person is for Minister of Athletics.

The person steps up to the mike and I see it's Brad, the bastard.

Cassie gives a loud cheer for him. I want to kill her.

Legolas grabs my arm.

" help me" he pleads.

I shake my arm loose.

" later" I whisper.

I know I should help him, but I'd feel like I'm cheating on Richard. Oh by the way, we are now going out. And Sunday was great and so was my interview. I hope I get hired. I think I will because Richard's mom likes me, and I'm dating Richard.

" I hope he doesn't win" I say to Eomer, but loud enough so Cassie hears.

Eomer snickers half asleep. I jab him in the ribs, so he wakes up a little more.

I feel an arm around my shoulders, and look at Legolas.

" please" he pleads again.

Looks like he's putting matters in his own hands.

" fine, but no touchy" I whisper in his ear.

Eomer gazes at us in a funny matter.

" later" I tell him.

More people speak on the stage, next is Eowyn.

" Yeah Eowyn!" I yell out.

I can hear her laughing through the mike.

" hi Li!" she says.

This is a speech I'm going to try to listen to.

" hi my name is Eowyn, and I am running for Minister of social affairs. I've all ready started planning on many activities for this year, and I've had some in put from many students. Some ideas are lunch time entertainment, and more and better dances."

At this point I start yelling again.

" come on Li I'm trying to give a speech here" she says laughing.

" I'm open to anything, that anyone, wants. I promise that I'll do everything I promise, just so I can make this year some what enjoyable. Thank you" she finishes.

We all clap and yell for her. Seems like people realize what I did was encouraging.

Next some more people talk, but do I care? of course not, I'd rather sit here and talk.

Cassie is giving me horrible looks. She needs a life. Cassie needs to chase after a guy who doesn't use his friends as pretend girlfriends.

But I highly doubt that anything would want to date her.

" Legolas, we should stay in tonight, have some.....you know....fun." I say innocently sick.

" again? You wore me out last time" he says back.

I hate talking to perverted guys, I wasn't even meaning that. I meant cuddling. O.K. O.K., so I started the perverted stuff, and I'll admit I wasn't talking about cuddling.

I really do wonder after last time, when Legolas and I kissed, how Cassie can still like him. If I saw Richard kissing a girl before, I wouldn't still go after him.

I'm feeling kind of guilty, but it's nothing, right? He just has his arm around me. And maybe he's necking me a bit. Wait a minute!

" stop that, I have a boyfriend" I whisper to him.

" sorry I forgot" he says and sits back in his chair.

Forgot my ass, he just really wants to get rid of her, he should get someone without a boyfriend to pretend with him.

Eomer eyes us with wonder. He knows I'm going out with Richard, but I'll tell him after, so he'll understand.

Arwen walks up to the mike. Time to listen.

" Arwen we love you" I yell out.

" You better shut up until I'm done" she threatens.

The crowd laughs.

" I'm pretty sure you all know who I am, but in case you've forgotten or just didn't listen, I'm Arwen. I want to be your Prime Minister. I would say that I'm an excellent organizer ,and good leader, but that makes me seem like I'm a snob. So I'll just say, I'm good at stuff. Well, vote for me."

Ah short speeches I like those.

Legolas tries to kiss me but I stop him.

" save that for later" I giggle.

What is up with him any ways? I'm almost afraid to know.

Hey Arwen was the last speaker. Everyone files out of the auditorium. Tomorrow first block we vote, then the ballots are counted throughout the day.

Legolas try to hold me hand, but I link our arms instead.

I'm really starting to get pissed off.

I lead us to the dorms and when, we are out of sight from Cassie, I let him go and continue on our way.

He tries to make small talk, but I keep my answers short.

When we get upstairs, I quickly go to my room and lock the door in case he trys to get in, which he does, but I ignore him.

I wait until Arwen gets in, to come out of my room.

" hey can I talk to you, or are you busy?" I ask her.

" nope I'm free tonight. What's up?"

we sit down on a couch in the living room.

" you know, how Legolas and I told Cassie we were dating right?"

Yeah, what about it?"

" well today we had to pretend, and he started necking me, so I told him not to, but then after he tried to kiss me. He knows I have a boyfriend, if we have to continue that, we can't really do much. you know?" I spill.

Arwen nods.

" he's been acting strange for awhile, do you want me to talk to him?" she asks.

" please, but don't make is sound like it's from me, say Eomer told you"

" sure"

For the rest of the night, we talk about our men, which we find a very interesting conversation.
