I WAS GROUNDED FOR A WEEK!!! FOR NOT CLEANING THE BATHROOM GOOD
ENOUGH...HEY, I TRIED...GO FIGURE. PARENTS ARE STRANGE!
Haha, don't ask what the play is about, because I have no idea. Lol, just a little part in the story.
Unpleasant Surprise
As I walked onto the stage with this blond guy, Anwin, at my arm, I felt incredibly nervous. Everyone was staring with awe, or smiling at me. I felt Arwen let go of my hand as we entered and I even felt more nervous without her next to me. Most of my friend's were sitting in front row, watching and smiling. I caught a glimpse at Legolas and almost laughed out loud, because he was just staring at me with his mouth hanging open.
This was a very slow part of the play, where we just walked in and stood for a moment as the music played softly. I got to look at Elrond, sitting tall in his thick green robes, and I turned to look at Galadriel. Her face and hair was glowing gold and her clothes were glittering white. How could I have been chosen to represent HER? She was breathtakingly beautiful!
All of the sudden the music changed quickly to heavy drums. I'd heard it a million times, but this time I was startled. I almost tripped, but Anwin held on tightly to my arm. Oh my god, that was close!!!
"May my brother Finrod be honored by both elves and men, for he is slain! And may I find peace in Lorien till the ending of the time of the elves." I tear trickled down my cheek, and I turned into the door of the back of the stage. I heard clapping and cheering from the crowds.
"It's done and I didn't mess up in my lines!" I said, doing a crazy little dance to myself.
"Emma, don't just sit there! Go out there and meet Galadriel and your friends!" one of the teachers said.
"Me?" I squeak. "Meet Galadriel?"
"Is there any other Emma here? Of course YOU have to meet Galadriel!" she pushed me out of the backstage area and onto the stage. Everyone else was taking a bow, and I bowed right after them. The crowd continued clapping like mad crazy and then they turned to leave.
Galadriel came toward me slowly. Her light, golden hair dancing over her shoulders and her lips were turned up in a smile. "I wrote that play," I heard her voice, though she never moved her lips. I was startled by everything that was happening. I felt like I was in the presence of an angel or something!
"Really?" I asked.
"I didn't expect you to be able to do that as well as you did. You carry yourself with such grace and poise. You did wonderful," she said with her lips this time.
I smile. "Thank you," I said softly.
"Well I must go," she said. "Farewell, Emthiel."
"Namarie," I answered, nodding.
As she turned to leave, my friend's crowded me. "Dude, you were killer!" Rome said slapping hands with me.
"Yea, Emthiel, you were wonderful! You look so beautiful," said Talim, hugging me. "And Galadriel was so pleased! She was smiling the WHOLE time!"
"Thank you! I was sooo nervous!"
Legolas approached me, looking so handsome, with this goofy smile spread over his face. "Let's get away from here," Legolas whispered.
"I'll see you guys later! Me and Legolas are going to go for a walk or something."
Legolas knitted his hand in mine. "You were so awesome. Just about every guy was staring at you."
"Uh...probably because they have to watch me since I was the main actress."
"Yea, maybe, but either way you were wonderful! Like a REAL actress. All your practicing really paid off."
"Thanks," I say. I look up at Legolas and watch a frown appear. "What's wrong, Legolas?"
"Mmm...nothing."
"Legolas, I can tell when something's wrong," I say.
He sighs. "Well, it's my father. I think he likes you, but he still has his eye fixed on Arwen for me. He talks weekly with Elrond and Elrond doesn't want Arwen to be with Aragorn. My father doesn't want me to be with you. I..."
"What? But maybe we can hide this! No one will know that we're dating!"
"That's not all, Emma! I'm leaving. Arwen and me are going to Rivendell High! We're being forced to spend time together! We start on Tuesday and I leave tomorrow."
I wanted to throw up. Legolas was being hooked up with one of my best friends? Even if he never fell in love with her, I'd rarely ever see him again. I guess royalty doesn't go with the rich. The royalty goes with royalty.
I hardly ever cry, but something broke inside and I started bawling. He held me in his arms tightly and kissed my forehead. He patted my back a little awkwardly and kept saying, "It's okay, It's okay," over and over. I just cried harder. "Legolas, I love you! I don't want you to go!"
I looked up. "Neither do I," he said. I felt one of his tears fall on my face. "I love you too."
That night I woke up with Legolas snuggled up to me. "Legolas," I said, nudging his ribs with my elbow. He didn't even move. "Legolas!"
"Wut?" he muttered.
"You have to pack now."
"Why?"
"Because you're going to Rivendell," I answered. He groaned and got up. "Do I have to?"
"Yea, I guess you do," I answered.
"But I'm in love with Emma," he turned to face me, but his eyes were still closed, and he got back into bed.
I stopped. Was he sleep talking? "Legolas, who am I?" I asked, wondering how he'd answer that. "My mum," he answers.
I couldn't help but laugh. "So, Legolas, who's this girl your in love with?"
He smiled in his sleep. "She's beautiful," he said. "More beautiful than Arwen, herself. Even prettier than Galadriel."
"You really think so?" I asked.
"Yea, and I don't want to leave her."
"But you have to," I answered sadly.
"No, I think I'll just stay here," Legolas said.
"LEGOLAS WAKE UP!" I finally say, pushing him. He rolls off the bed and looks at me sharply. "Now WHAT was THAT for?"
I just laugh. "Were you sleep talking?" I ask.
"What?"
"Weren't you just talking?"
"I was talking to my mom...wait...I had a dream."
I laugh. "You have to pack."
He frowns. "But, maybe if we run away..."
"Legolas, there's just no way," I say sadly.
"I'll call you every day. This won't be the end of our relationship, Emma. I won't let it be. I'll disgrace my family's name if I have to. Arwen and me will write emails daily. If she has a web cam, we'll hook you up with tons of photos!"
I laughed.
"Why do you laugh?" he asked sadly.
"Because despite of all this, we'll be okay. Christmas break I'll come and visit and don't worry about anything," I tried to say that cheerfully, but despite it all, tears welled up at the corners of my eyes. Seems like that was happening to all of us lately.
Legolas and Arwen poked their heads just out of the carriage windows as it started moving. "We love you! Goodbye!" Arwen said.
"Come visit us as soon as you can!" Legolas said.
"WE WILL!" I yelled and we all waved till the carriage disappeared around a corner of the road. I glanced over at Aragorn as he slung an arm around me. Though is face was stern and hard, I saw that he was blinking away the tears. All of the sudden Aragorn's cell phone rang.
"Hello..."
"I LOVE YOU!!!" we could heard Arwen scream through the little speaker.
Aragorn laughed and a tear started rolling, though he quickly wiped it away. "I love you too," he said softly.
And Aragorn handed the phone to each of us so that Arwen could say something special to us.
Arwen to me: "Emma, I love you sooo much and if you don't visit for Christmas break, I'll bawl my eyes out! Though we didn't get along at first, we made it and you've been one of the greatest friends I could ever hope for over this school year."
I started to cry.
"Arwen, I can't believe your going! I'll miss you so much and all of us will be emailing!"
"Allright, well goodbyeeeeeeee!!!!"
Don't be sad! I can't be THAT cruel. Things will turn out soon...maybe...just make sure you keep on reading! -Lauren
