Sorry I haven't updated! I usually update when I get emails with the reviews but my email hasn't been working so I didn't get to read any reviews till today! SORRY!!

Life is Good for a Moment

So Legolas and me aren't official. We hold hands and stuff. It's great, I can't believe I didn't see before how much I was crazy about him. I wonder why he likes me sometimes.

I look down at my torn up jeans and plain white shirt. As I look in my mirror I notice my mascara is a little on my eyelid. Really? Why does he like me?

"Hurry, Emma! Riding class with Leggo!"

"Oh, right!" I say, pulling my hair up in a sloppy ponytail and run with Talim to the stables. "I look like crap!" I say.

"Hey, but we're only going to the stables. We're not even riding today anyways. Just CLEANING."

"Yea," I nod. "I guess you're right."

Shortly after I get there, Leanna comes up, in a brand new riding outfit. She's like the only one who looks nice. Even Legolas is in baggy old jeans. I note: he still looks amazing. Long blond hair combed and everything.

"Time to pair up to muck stalls!" Legolas announces.

"WHAT?" Leanna chokes. "I thought this was a RIDING class."

"It is," Legolas says. "But today it's on horse care."

"I think I'm going to sit this one out, hon." Leanna says, flipping her hair and turning. So obvious: she's trying to be cool and sexy.

"Whatever," Legolas mumbles.

Leanna stalks off in her preppy little riding outfit. All of the sudden I notice that her tag is still sticking out of her pants! We all start cracking up, even Legolas. Leanna turns.

"What?" she cries.

"Nothing!" Legolas shouts back.

She shakes her head like WE'RE the idiots and walks back to the school. We watch as a few people snicker at her as she heads back.

"Anyways, let's pair up. Talim and Eomer..."

I smile. Legolas listened to me when I told him they should be together. They're both really shy towards each other. They need a little nudge. I see Talim beaming like a dork. Ha! How adorable. Eomer even cracked a smile.

I sigh. There's one major thing on my mind: how good things have been going. If Talim and Eomer could get together before the dance, things would be perfect! Things are going really good right now!



"I have an important announcement to make," says Ms. Whett.

"HUH?! What?!" I say. I find myself leaning on Legolas. Whoops. Did I fall asleep in announcements? I'm glad I was in the back.

"Sh!" Talim hushes me.

"We have decided on who will be the king and queen of the fall ball!" Ms. Whett continues.

The whole school starts screaming excitedly. "Hush, now! Hush!" she says. Time seems to be going by slowly. I don't know why I'm excited. I would NEVER be chosen. Only princes and princesses get chosen for this kind of stuff.

"And the king of the fall ball is..."

When is she going to spill? My clothes are gonna go out of style before she finishes!

"Legolas Greenleaf!" Everyone claps and Legolas does this little bow.

"Oh no," I murmur. What pretty girl is he going to have to be with at the ball? The king and queen of the fall ball have to dance together and stuff...

"And the queen..."

Hurry up Ms. Whett!!!!!!

"Arwen Undomiel."

I feel my heart sink into my shoes as everyone starts to cheer on Arwen. This is a nightmare. I'm going to be stuck with no one at the fall ball and he's going to be stuck with Ms. Perfect, my enemy!!!

Arwen stands, but she doesn't look at all pleased. She says something to Ms. Whett and is given a mic. "Um, it's an honor to be chosen and all...but I couldn't."

The whole room starts talking and shouting.

"HUSH!!!!" Ms. Whett says in the mic.

"And I know of someone who would probably much rather have this than I would. Someone who should be Legolas's queen at the fall ball." She looks at me. I turn around. No one's behind me. Could she really be looking at me?

"I want to give this honor to Emthiel Goldring, if that pleases Ms. Whett?"

Ms. Whett nods.

I'm speechless. The whole room starts talking again. "YAY!!" Talim screams, jerking my arm up and down. My arm is about to be yanked off. Legolas hugs me. What just happened here? I'm confused. How could this have happened?

It finally starts processing. I'm going to be the fall ball Queen!!! I start jumping up and down and hugging all of my friends around me. I even hug this girl and guy I don't even know.

"THANK YOU ARWEN!!!" I scream. I hope she heard me. I can't see her anymore.



At lunch, a lot of my friends seem to be sitting at my table, congratulating me. I feel so special. Eomer, Faramir, Boromir, Eowyn, Legolas, Talim, and even Aragorn and Arwen are here sitting with me. Yea, I don't know Arwen, but I hug her tightly anyhow and thank her over and over again. Aragorn looks at me. How I've missed him. I hug him also. "I'm so sorry," I mutter.

"For what?" he asks.

"For hating you because...you know. Sorry too, Arwen," I say.

"Don't worry about it!" she says with a smile. "Forgotten!"

"It is great seeing you again. No hard feelings?" Aragorn asks.

"None," I say with a smile.

He starts talking to Faramir, so I look away. Before I know it, I'm staring at the ceiling with this spacey grin. Though my friends are still talking to me, I can't seem to hear them. I met new friends right away, me and my X- boyfriend aren't enemies, my enemy [Leanna] has been nice enough so I can't hate her, I have the most awesome friend and boyfriend, and I'm the Fall Ball queen this year. My life is perfect. I am...

All of the sudden, I feel myself falling backwards in my chair. Whap! I hit my head on the wooden floor. "Ow," I grumble as my friends laugh and pick me up. Well, my life is ALMOST perfect.



Hope you liked!!!
