Rethe 22
"Are you guys done your primping yet?" I ask the closed door.
Prom night...why do people like this? Me? I've been ready for quite awhile, but the others have been in the bathroom, what seems like an eternity. I just did my hair and my makeup, and put on my dress. I know they are doing the same things that I did, but why does it take them so long? The door bursts open and they all come rushing out.
"We're finished!" exclaims Arwen.
"Yeah, that was record timing huh? Only two hours" says Diamond.
My eyes nearly bulge out. Tow hours! They have got to be kidding me. That can not be record timing. It took me under half an hour to get ready, that should be recorded timing. Hell that's not even record timing for me.
A knock sounds at the door and all the girls squeal, except for me. I don't understand how chicks can act this way. It seriously drives me insane and if I ever act that way, someone should kill me.
"I'll get the door" I tell the awe struck girls.
I open it up and see all the men standing there. Legolas looks impressed, but doesn't go all 'your so beautiful' on me. Points for him. The guys rush in and that is all I hear. If Legolas did that with me, I would cringe and probably hit him. I know I do have my girly moments, I swear I do, but prom is not one of them.
"So umm you look..." Legolas starts.
"You finish that sentence and I swear, you'll be missing some limbs" I warn him.
"Li! You should want to be complimented on!" Eowyn cries.
I look at her and smirk.
"Unless you are you, then you never tell you anything" she mumbles.
Good girl, I have trained her well. It will come in handy, when I rule the world...erm, when I am working in the world. That's what I meant. It's always good to have people skills. Ha, ha...umm yes, so prom.
"I guess we should go down" I suggest, to the others.
They all rush past me and start down the hall. I look at Legolas, who shrugs and we head down ourselves. It's a good thing he's not a moment guy. You know what I mean. Those perfect moments type things. We are not that type of people, so prom isn't to big. I know I was involved in the planning, but it's not like I'm in love with it.
We enter into the gym and go find our seats for the dinner. I had it arranged, so I could sit by all my friends. Hey, I don't want to sit by some freaks. Now Cassie on the other hand, ha, ha ,ha. I look over at her, just in time to see her look of disgust, as she sits by all the strange beings.
Soon dinner begins and everyone is involved in their food. Yummy, food. Legolas shakes his head, when I start stealing food from his plate. Hmm, he doesn't need those ribs...yoink.
"Your going to get sauce on you" he warns me.
Luckily I have come prepared. I take out a bib, from my tiny purse that was holing my bib, yes that was it's sole purpose. I put it on, then cover my lap with napkins.
"Li take that off , your so embarrassing" Arwen whispers to me.
in response I stuff a rib into my mouth and chew on it, then spit out the bone. "Do you think my dress would survive my eating habits?" I ask her.
"you should not be allowed out into public" she hisses at me.
I look around and see how nicely the other girls are eating. I look at my plate and see food all sloshed around. I give an evil little smile to Legolas, who in return tries to hold in his laughter. I put my face closer to my plate and hear Arwen gasp. "Iliana I swear if you do, what I think your going to do, I'm going to kill you"
I give one last look to Legolas and see him give me an evil smile and a nod. I plunge my face into my plate and start eating. All I hear is Legolas laughing and Arwen's repetition of 'oh my god'. When I lift my head up, I see all my friends staring at me. The girls with disgust and the guys with awe. What I just did, is what they all want to do.
Legolas hands me a napkin and I start cleaning off my face. "Attention everyone" Elrond's voice cuts through the noise.
I put down the napkin, when everything is off and listen. "I have here the envelopes that tells us, who is this years Prom King and Queen" he continues.
All the tables erupt with cheers. If you ask me, it's all a crock of shit. All the girls want it, then they are all let down, when one wins. It's the same thing every year. It dates back to prehistoric times, when the dinosaurs had prom. Wait did they have prom? Note to self, when in class, ask teacher about that.
Elrond opens the envelope and looks at it. Around the room, many girls fingers are crossed in anticipation. "This years Prom King is Brad" Elrond says.
Thumbs down to that, I hate that fucker. He's one of Cassie's friends and I hate him, but I guess you already know that.
"All the Prom Queen is...Iliana!" he yells out.
Oh hell! They can't make me go up there, I refuse. Do you think he read my name wrong? I think so. I should demand a recount. Legolas forces me out of the chair and gives me a little push, traitor. Damn I have to dance with Brad. Maybe he will sprain his ankle in the next minutes or so. Just wishful thinking.
I go on stage and get my damn crown and my flowers. Just to show my good heart, I even take Brad's arm, as we walk to the dance floor. "Strange how we won isn't it?" he asks me.
"Very strange, so that's why, for the length of this song, we should be nice to each other. "I tell him.
"To make these next few minutes bearable?" he asks.
I just nod at him, as he puts his arms around me.
"Agreed" he says, then we start dancing. "You look nice"
"Maybe we shouldn't talk"
He laughs, then agrees to that as well.
I hate how everyone, is staring at us, because now they will all remember this. I don't want to remember dancing with my enemy. Hmm...that could be a movie. One fateful dance with the enemy and all hell breaks loose. I hear an Oscar coming.
"This isn't to bad, now is it?" Brad asks.
I shrug. "Neither of us are on the floor withering in pain, so I would think so."
Looks like he's breaking the pact of not talking, by umm, talking. Wow, I really nailed that one. I think the dress, is making me stupid. I can't wait to get it off, then go to sleep. Prom is so over rated. All the guys think they are getting laid tonight and maybe some are. Things are just never what it seems. When Prom is over, I'm going right to bed and no, Legolas is not coming with me.
The song ends and Brad and I separate. "Well Li, it was not as bad as I thought it would be" he tells me.
"Not as bad?! I'm a good fucking dance, so it was fan-fucking-tastic. I can't say the same to you though. Oh well, have a nice night Brad" I say to him, then walk back to my friends.
A few hours later, after that horrible time. O.K. it wasn't that horrible, but back to the story. Legolas looks like he's going to fall asleep and I am half asleep. Everyone else is wide awake, which makes me feel like I'm really old. Like Elrond age. Hmm, he's really old. I wonder if he can answer my question about dinosaur Proms. Umm, yeah, I think I need to go to bed.
"Legolas do you want to go? I'm tired" I ask him.
He nods, after a really long time. We say good night to everyone, then head back upstairs. Half way up, Legolas stops. "Shit I forgot my jacket. I have to go back. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then" he says.
Good boy, he knew he wasn't staying with me. "Yeah, tomorrow then." I yawn out.
He gives me a quick kiss, then heads back down. I drag my sleepy ass upstairs and down the hall to my room. As I get nearer, I see someone up ahead and it looks like they are at my door.
"What do you want?" I ask Richard when I see it's him.
"You look beautiful" he comments.
Oh, how I would love to strangle him, right now. He had better leave , or I will do that. "I think you should go, I'm tired and I want to go to bed."
"I just want to talk with you" he argues.
I half snort and lean my shoulder against the wall. "Richard, I don't have time for you. I never will. You fucked up and I backed out. There is nothing more to talk about, because I will never want you back. And just a word of warning, I'm an elf, your human. I could beat the fuck out of you, so don't try to threaten me or my friends."
He glares at me then smirks. "You think you could hurt me?" he comes closer and reaches out for me.
I grab his arm and hold him back. "I'm an elf remember, I'm incredibly strong and agile, your not." I push him away and he ends up on the floor. "Don't try and fuck with me human, your playing with the big boys now" I tell him, then go inside and lock the door.
A/N: well what did you think? This was longer than my other recent chapters. Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I've been out and about and doing tons of stuff. So in my free time I wasn't writing, just relaxing. Hopefully it won't take me so long to get another chapter finished. I was also planing out stuff for the sequel to this( had to create some new characters). Yeah so I hope I finish this soon and start writing the other one. I don't think it will be as long though. Well have fun and REVIEW!
