Thanx guys for the wonderful comments! Thanx Elven Warrior!! I'm glad people are liking my stories THAT much! I try. :)

Elise's Fall Break

I keep on hearing about the schools rezoning or something crazy, but I haven't had much time to look into it. I've been seeing a lot more students lately and none of my friends are gone...Earfalas is gone! HORAY!

Legolas and Arwen have been gone two days now and I haven't yet heard from them. They probably arrived late last night. I've been going insane and things certainly have been a lot lonelier without Legolas.

Talim elbows me. "Are you feeling okay?" she says, hugging me at the lunch- table.

"Yea," I mutter, "I'm fine."



Rome's pov

With the schools rezoning, Gondor high is looking a lot more like a playground or an elementary school. This place is a freak'n madhouse! Little people running psycho everywhere around their busy little tables! They're obviously petrified of me, more than most people. I guess they have a reason to be, right?

All of the sudden I spot Kali, one of the rezoned girls. People keep saying that she's been kicked out of two public schools [hey, I've been kicked out of three]! Her black [with blue streaks] shoulder-length hair is mad sexy. Her fishnet tights and combat boots are just what looks best on her. I see Talim looking at me and then at Kali.

"She probably could use a friend like you," she says. I would go talk to her, but..." Emma starts crying over Talim's shoulder. "...I'm a little occupied."

Emma pulls away, her face really red and her eyes blood shot like she's been on drugs. I would think it was funny if she wasn't so nice to me.

I look back at Kali, sitting all by herself, looking a lot like...me. At my old school. I decide to walk over and sit across from her. She glances up and then sneers. I try not to be offended.

"I saw..."

"Could you just go away?" she snaps.

I'm startled. Doesn't she see I'm just like her? A lonely outcast? Whether I have some people that hang with me, no one is my best friend! I'm alone. Like her...in a freak'n prep school!

"Why do you have to get rid of me? I thought we'd have something in common."

"What the hell? YOU? You're just a punk-wannabe. Everyone sees you with your popular friends. Your probably one of those Avril Skater boy people that WANT to be punk."

My mouth hangs open. Someone tell me I'm not punk?! Me, skater baby-face wannabe? This is screwed, not to mention the weirdest thing anyone's ever said to me. "If they weren't nice to me I'd beat the hell out of them, but they're not bad. I'm no freak'n ugly wannabe."

"Yea, well even if you are the real thing, you should be smart enough to know that they'd be using you so no one would mess with them."

I can't believe I'm hearing this. Somehow I thought she'd be easy, but she's not. I shrug and pretend it's not bothering me. She rolls her eyes and puts some headphones on. The music is so loud I can hear it well from where I'm sitting. I start moving my lips to the words.

"I wanna run away, I'm sick of your fits, Don't care what you say, Cause I hate your s***..."

She pulls her headphones down. "You know this?"

"Of course, it's Grey Tattoo," I answer. How would I not know them? They're my favorite band.

I don't see why she looks at me so surprised. I see her smile a little bit. Maybe I'm getting through to her? I smile back at her. God she's so freak'n hot. I sure hope I'm getting to her!



Emma POV

This little dude marches up to our table. I think I'm hallucinating. No one is really THAT small and looks like he's sixteen. "Hey I'm Frodo and I was just..."

"I think I took to many pills," I say. I've taken lots of pills to make me sleep through the nights, but during the days I'm a wreck because of them. "But you're a cute illusion! You can stay around if you want."

He looks at me totally confused. "You're a cute little hallucination...though I still miss Legolas." God what am I talking about? Someone shut me up!!!

Talim grabs my arms and steers me to our room. "I don't know what's wrong with you, but I think you should sleep."

Right when we walk in, my computer goes "You got mail"

Talim checks it just as I'm getting into bed. "It's from Legolas," she says. I jump up as quickly as I can and scream happily. "LEGGY!! MY BABY!!"

Talim gets out of my way, looking at me as if I were possessed.

'Dear Emma,

We've already been going insane! We're starting school tomorrow and we're forced to be away from all the students so that we can have a personal teacher...it's sickening. Arwen and me are alive. Don't tell her this, but with all her crying, one of us is about to die. And it's not me. *hint*

I'm also going crazy cause I miss you. I can't bear to stay here much longer. I know, it hasn't been long, but I always wake up thinking your just a few floors away...but your miles away. Have to let Arwen on. Luv you.

-Legolas'

I smile despite the fact that he IS far away. At least he really does love me and he misses me. Talim and me look through the pictures of them. They look cute, but a little sad.

"I can't wait till the next time we see them," I say. "Whenever that is. I think I'm gonna sleep though the rest of the school day. I need it. Thanks Talim."

"I'm glad you're acting a little bit more normal. I'll bring you your homework when I get back."



Boromir POV

My cell rang and I saw Elise's number on my caller-ID. Faramir rolls his eyes at me. I'm on the phone all the time, but so what?!

"Hey babe," I say.

She giggles. "You won't believe where I am!" she says.

"Um...Rohan with your family...?"

"No!!" she says, laughing. I love her cute laugh when she's really happy. I can just imagine her holding the phone under her crazy blond hair. "I'm in Gondor! I'm on my way to the school. So where can I find you?"

I can't say anything.

*flashback* She nods. "I love you." "I love you too," I answer, tracing her jaw line with my finger. That's when we tilted our heads to kiss each other. That moment seemed so magical! And she did just what I hoped she would: kissed me back. *end*

"Boromir?"

"Yea, I'm here."

"Well, I'll be able to see you in just a few minutes if you just tell me where you are!" she says.

"I'm...I'm in the cafeteria. When you get to the school, there are signs everywhere showing you where to go. I can't wait to see you! This is..." I felt my heart rate going faster. "...This is...too good to be true! I love you!"

"I love you too, hun. We'll get to spend a whole week together because I have a fall break and we'll have so much fun. Just you and me and no crazy work for me around the world!"

I laugh. "Remember when we met? I didn't understand what you saw in me. And I still don't."

"I do." I pause. I don't just here her voice in my phone, but very close. I whip around, almost falling out of my chair. "ELISE!"

I run up to hug her and we just hold each other, on the edge of tears, for a long time. Then I finally pull away. Tears flow at the corners of her eyes, but I wipe them quickly. "Oh my god, you're here...with me."

"I've held this off for far too long, Boromir, son of Gondor." With that, she kisses me, right in front of the whole school. I feel like everyone's watching. I can almost feel jealousy rise in the room. There are a FEW girls who like me, and I'm sure all the guys would want a chance with Elise. She looks like some perfect sun-goddess, because she's so tan from so many outdoor concerts. Her hair is straight with little dyed blue braids here and there. I swear, her hair is never the same. She's wearing this black tank-top and hoodie, and black baggy pants. She mostly wears different stuff...as in black and green, because she works with a punk band, but she still looks gorgeous no matter what.

"So this is the girl of your dreams that you talk about?" Faramir asks. I'm s little embarrassed, but I try to hide it. "Yep, and she's all mine," I say, wrapping my arms around her shoulders from behind her. I kiss her cheek and I can almost feel her smiling.

She's better than any girl I've ever imagined. Haha, and she's all mine!
