Alrighty, I've heard some different opinions, and I know this probably
shouldn't be a lotr story...but I love lotr and I'm afraid that if I put it
in original fiction, it wont get read...and I'm too lazy to change
everyone's names and stuff. Can I just have a couple of more suggestions?
On w/ the fic!
Whitewolf, timberwolf, whoever you are: "Whatever. I really don't care what u say of my fic. Are your fics perfect?"
-////// Author: *sob* "All guys are jerks. I've been dumped, pretty much for a cheerleader! All guys are...well, not you Legolas, you're okay."
Legolas: *pats Lauren on the head* "There, there."

The Secret Backstabber
So I'm tossing and turning around trying to get to sleep on my little love seat by the TV. Why? Well, Leanna is in my bed...Yes, you heard me. I said Leanna. She didn't want to sleep in her bed because there was a sleepover in there or something and some of the girls at the sleepover had been at the club. Man, I just am too nice. I should have said, "Oh well, you'll have to live," but instead I say, "Sure, you're welcome here."
I wonder how Legolas and Talim's night was?
Talim's POV (night before)
So Legolas and me went to Wizard's Cup. Legolas was a complete zombie the WHOLE time. Him and his crappy little attitude, man. He wouldn't say anything and finally he just said, "okay, I'm leaving."
Huh. So I go to Werley's or whatever it's called and Legolas is snooping around there. I guess he was looking for Emma. How could she not see he likes her? I never saw Emma. I wondered where she was.
...
I open the door to our room. "Emma, I-"
Emma and Leanna are laughing hysterically on Emma's bed...Leanna is in MY room? Bonding with MY best friend? This so is not right. Whoa, something WEIRD must have happened and I'm determined to find out what it is. I sit down and face them. "I'll tell you what happened," Emma says, noticing how dumbfounded I am.
I nod. "You better," I snap. That came out unintentionally, but can you blame me? I HATE Leanna!
"The boys there were jerks. They were all touching me and Earfalas ended up being a total bastard! He pulled Leanna's dress up in front of everyone...so I comforted her." "That's why she's here?" I ask. "Whoa. That sounds crazy."
Leanna nods. "I'm going to fill you in on my little secret. Not even any of my friend's know about my life before my foster parents."
"Foster parents?" I ask. We wait for her to continue.
"Um...my dad was Denethor's right hand man," she begins.
"Whoa, so your dad's a big shot!" I say.
"WAS a big shot," she says sharply. "He was killed by...I don't know. And when the school found out when I was in Jr. High, the boys would make big jokes. And my mom got married again, but a year after she got remarried, she died also...some sort of disease. And my step dad started going insane...and he raped my sister Yavanne, and me. I was finally taken away from him and me and my sister were given to different families. And the thing is...I like boys, but sometimes I get scared just liked I was scared of my step-father. I was freaked out tonight when they pulled my dress up and...let's not get into this anymore. I'm sorry. For everything, you guys. I'm sorry for being a jerk and letting guys change my perspective on you...I was jealous."
"Yea, I'm sorry too. I've been a horrible twit to you. Can we get along?" Emma says.
Well, she might deserve some kindness...maybe. "I'll be cool with you," I nod.
"Cool," she mimics. "Thanks guys. Can I just crash here...just for tonight?" "Sure, you're welcome here."
Back to Emma POV (Next morning)
"Hey Legolas! Hey Eowyn!" I say, walking up to them with Leanna and Talim next to me.
Legolas and Eowyn are both staring at us as if we've grown horns. "Someone's possessed here!" Legolas says. "That can be the only explanation of you guys being next to each other...Leanna...and Emma?"
"Well, we're TRYING to get along," Leanna says. "Can I sit with you guys?"
"Sure," I say.
"Suuuuuuure," Legolas says a little sarcastically. I quickly elbow him.
So she DOES sit with us...or sits next to Legolas. Something has not changed about her. She's all into Legolas.
"So, Legolas, you're going to be teaching us how to horse-back ride, right?" Legolas looks at me pleadingly. I give him a be-a-good-boy look. He looks back at Leanna. "Um...yea. You like riding?"
"Oh, I LOVE it. I've done it for years!" she says.
He nods like he's interested, but then I see his blue eye's twitch. He does that when he plays along.
All of the sudden, Legolas seems to get this longing look in his eyes towards Leanna.
"You're so sexy," he says with a sexy growl.
I look on with shock.
"It's about time you noticed, Legolas," Leanna says, licking her lips. Before I know it, they're making out in the middle of the cafeteria!!!
"He was talking to you, Emma," Talim says, poking me in the ribs. All of the sudden I notice that there is Faramir above me with a sheet of paper in his hands. "Here, Emma," he says handing it to me and then he starts walking away.
"Oh."
I look over at Legolas and Leanna. "Oh really. I've ridden a long time too," Legolas says. Huh? Did I just imagine that WHOLE scene? I look over at Talim. She doesn't look the slightest bit interested in Legolas and Leanna. She's staring at her paper, identical to mine.
I sigh with relief. Legolas and Leanna were NOT just making out. Now that I care if he likes her...it was just be, um, freaky.
I look down at the paper. "Fall Ball on October 28th..." I start reading allowed.
"Lemme see that!" Legolas says, cutting Leanna short in the middle of her sentence. He looks at the flyer. "Wow! This is going to be a blast! Last year was REALLY good!"
"Really?" I ask. "It sounds cool."
"Oh, it is!" Leanna says.
"The 'queen' and 'king' of the fall ball will be announced this Thursday!" Talim says, looking at Legolas and then to me. She completely ignores Leanna.
Leanna seems to be following me a LOT lately and it's been kinda making me feel weird. I mean, I don't want to start being mean to her after she just told me her little 'secret' but then again, I don't want people to think I'm one of those snobs that would hang with her. Ya know?
Even stranger, one of Leanna's old friends, Karalin, walked by yesterday and WINKED at Leanna. Some reason, I think something is going on strange. I feel like all these things are going around that make no sense!
"Emma," Legolas sneaks up to me and all my thoughts about Leanna evaporate. I've noticed that about him. Every time he talks, I seem to forget everything except him. I remember how we met and...I shake my head, clearing those thoughts. Whoa, I must be desperate! Either that or this Sindarin quiz coming up is confusing me somehow..."I need to talk to you about something...privately."
Leanna looks hurt, but Talim is smiling like a geek as if she knows something. Is there some big secret I don't know about? It sure feels this way. Why is everyone so happy? Am I gonna make fall ball queen or something insane? No way...why is Talim getting all giggly?
"Yea, sure," I say. Legolas puts a hand on my back and steers me outside.
Leg POV
I look at Emma. Her long pretty blond hair is parted a little funny today, but she still looks absolutely adorable. I sit her down on the steps and just when I'm supposed to talk, my voice seems to slip away. I clear my throat. I drank water before this, but my mouth feels dry.
"Uh..."
"What Legolas?"
"I...um..."
"Legolas, you know you can tell me whatever it is!" she says.
"The fall ball is in three weeks," I say.
"Yea, Legolas, I knew that," she says, giving me this quirky 'where-are-you- going-with-this?' smile.
"Well, I thought I'd tell you this before the ball."
She looks confused.
"I think..."
"Yes...?"
"I think I'm falling in love with you." Oh my god, I said it! Now I'm holding my breath.
She pauses. "Legolas, you're tomato-red. Are you okay?"
Um, did she not hear anything I just said? I tell her I'm in love and she calls me tomato-face. But, hey, I can't blame her. My face DOES feel hot. I start to exhale slowly.
She stares at me with these sincere, twinkling eyes.
Emma POV
I just stare at Legolas till some thoughts are brought to my mind. The way I would get so jealous when he was talking with someone else. The way I met him when I was just so caught up in his beautiful face and gorgeous blond hair. And the way he so liked me. Like, how he didn't want me going out with Earfalas. It was all coming together now. Somehow I felt so...happy. In love.
Legolas seems to be impatient for my answer. He pulls on his shirt collar.
"I know you don't want me, Emma. But I can be great for you. I can try my best! I'll do whatever you want...I just love you...I want you."
I look at Legolas and in his eyes hold this question. I lean forward with him and our lips meet and we kiss long and slow. I finally rip away...just a little. "I love you too," I whisper, my lips tickling his.
Leanna POV
I glance out the window and there is Legolas and Emma...Oh my god!!!!! KISSING? I start muttering curses. My plan was failing. I just wanted to get Emma to like me so Legolas would at least TALK to me! Now it looked like everything had failed. They had fallen for my lies, but I didn't care if they were my friends! I just wanted Legolas. Earfalas and all my friends helped me with this...then it doesn't work!
"I hate you Emthiel," I mutter.
I really hope I get another chance with Legolas. THEN I'll be the coolest girl in school. No one gets a boy that I can't have! Not even Emma Nicolea Goldring.
