The Valentines Day Freak
Valentines Day rolls around, finally. I go to my locker first thing and as I open it, about five Valentines Day cards roll out. "You're hot. I'd like to get to know you better. From George?" I mumble to myself. "What the f*ck?"
"HEY!" I jump as that creepy dude with glasses shows up.
"Um, hi," I say. "And you are?"
"George," he says with this goofy smile that makes me feel like gagging. "I was wondering, if we might be able to do something today..."
I feel like there's a bowling ball in my throat. "Well, I'm sorry, but that won't work. I'm going out with my BOYFRIEND today. But don't get all bumbed or anything. There are PLENTY of cute girls here."
He nods, not looking disappointed at all. Talim appears and she opens up her locker. To my surprise, she has quite a few cards rolling out also. She reads one. "Emma, who is George?" she looks up to see Freak. "Oh...um...hi," he says, trying to hold back a sneer.
"I'm George," he says.
I turn to leave and as I do, I overhear. "I was wondering, if we might be able to do something today...just you and me."
"Sorry, no-can-do!" she says. "I have a date with my boyfriend, Eomer. You know, um, the king of Rohan's nephew." She sounds nervous and disgusted as if George might give her rabies.
I laugh to myself. Gosh, what a loser this guy is!
Every minute in school that day goes on forever and ever. As soon as school ends I see all of my friends taking off to go out to eat. I don't have to search around for Legolas and make him show me what the surprise is, because he finds me right away and we hurry outside.
"I'm so excited! Where are we going?" I say as I step in the carriage.
"Apsa an Herenya!" Legolas announces with this proud look on his face. "No Wizard's Cup this afternoon!"
I gasp. Apsa an Herenya is like the most expensive Elvish Restaurant in Gondor, supposedly. Just it's name means 'Food for the wealthy'! "But Legolas, I'm not dressed for it! And how could you get reservations there on Valentines Day?"
"One, you can dress however you like! We'll look like we eat there all the time! And two, I've had reservations for almost three weeks. I have connections, anyways. Just enjoy yourself!"
I smile and hug him and he just holds me under his arm. "Thank you, Legolas. This is exciting." I glance down at my clothes. I'm wearing my favorite jeans, red sandals, white T-shirt, and my old red hoodie. "Is going to this restaurant the surprise?" I ask.
"Nope, not even. You're gonna be way surprised," He says. I look at him with a tortured expression, but he just laughs and kisses me. "You're gonna like it, I think."
I look at the menu and I can only tell what half of it is! Everything else seems like it's in a foreign language! Who knows what Camtasi basted in Wastavey is? Legolas orders for me. "You'll like Monrustróvis! It's delicious," he says.
"What is it?" I ask, taking one more look at the menu.
"It's just a piece of Lamíntruva dipped in a Grienné sauce," the waitress answers for him. I nod, though I am as confused as you probably are. "Ooh, that sounds...good," I say, handing the waitress the menu. She goes off and I turn to Legolas. "What the hell did she just say?"
"It's chicken with this really good tasting sauce," he answers. "With their REALLY good Rimus bread on the side."
"Ooh, yum!" I say. "Thanks Legolas, for taking me here. The people here are so nice."
He smiles at me. "Well this is OUR day! I wanted it to be special. I didn't want to go to the Taco House or something like that."
"Well, it's great," I say, smiling.
He sighs. "I'm glad you like it. I honestly wasn't sure. After this, is my surprise."
"Well I think I'll show you my surprise," I say, pulling out my purse. His eyebrows rise up, meaning he's interested. I've learned that expression long before. I pull out a red box with a note on the top and hand it to him.
He reads it to himself. It says 'And I'm feeling nervous. Trying to be so perfect. Because I know you're worth it. -Things I'll Never Say. I remember how things were when I first met you, Legolas. I loved you so much then and I'll love you so much always. Emma.'
He smiles, looking at the letter, then opens it. "Oh, yummy!!" he exclaims. "Chocolate!"
I nod. "Only chocolate."
He looks at me this way that makes my heart jump into my throat. He just looks so in love. It scares me sometimes just to know someone actually loves me like this. "You don't have to make it sound so lame. Chocolate IS the best food."
I smile. "I'm glad you like it."
He sniffs it. "Ahh, of course I like it!"
"Legolas, I can't take it anymore," I say as we walk out. The food was absolutely delicious, by the way! "What's the surprise?"
"Oh, okay. Come with me. It's just down the street," he says. He takes my hand and we walk really quickly for a block down the crowded streets of town. We walk into...a pet store! Not those dinky ones with lots of birds and every kind of animal you could imagine. Just dogs and cats."
"Oh, they're so cute, Legolas. Did you pick one out for me?" I ask as I stick my fingers in a cage where little lab puppies are.
"I've got you just the dog you want," he says. "Legolas Greenleaf," he says to the lady working there. She looks at a sheet of paper on the front desk. "Yes, Mr. Greenleaf, your puppy is riiight...here," She says, walking over to a cage more in the back. She pulls out an adorable boxer puppy.
"Oh my freaking god!" I gasp, gently taking the puppy. "Legolas, this is just the kinda puppy I'd want! My uncle used to breed them and I had one when I was little...but my brother took him when he left. Oh my god, it's so cute."
Legolas gets that cute smile of his. You know what I mean. "I overheard you talking with Talim. I know you like boxers."
"But how will I be able to keep him? We're not allowed to have dogs in our dorms."
"My dad talked the principal into it. If he makes a mess in the hall or on any of the school property...not good. But I'm sure you'll manage it. The school has plenty of room outside where you can play with him. By the way, what are you going to name him?"
I looked at the cute little puppy in my arms. "Cash," I say.
"Why 'Cash'?"
"Because! Greenwings have a dog named Cash, don't they? I think it's perfect. My little Cashdogg."
"Well lets take Cashdogg home. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a movie."
"What movie?" I ask.
"'The Frighteners'," Legolas says, smiling.
"Isn't that movie REALLY scary?" I ask. "It SOUNDS scary."
"Yes, but it has romance. And the best kind of movie would be one where we could grab onto each other when it gets scary," he says. I know he's bribing me into this...ha, but it's worked.
"Okay, we'll watch that," I say. "Won't we, Cash?" I say, kissing his cute little head. "Thank you, Legolas. Thank you so much. This is the best Valentines Day ever!"
That night, Legolas and I watch the Frighteners, the scariest movie I think I've watched in a long time. I have a hard time sleeping! Then we cuddle up together after we push Talim's and my bed together as one bed. [And Cash sleeps at my feet]
"Good night, Legolas," I say.
"Good night, babe," he answers, squeezing my hand. But it doesn't stop there. We end up talking for two hours or something.
The next morning I wake up with my furry little creature licking my feet. "Mmm...yea, yea, I'm awake," I groan, sitting up. Just as I get up, a teddy bear and a heart box roll off my chest. "What is this...?" I take the Teddy Bear and smile at it. It's white and it's holding a red heart. 'I love you,' it says. And then he also got me a red box of chocolates!!
I look around and there's no Legolas to be seen. I look back at my puppy who sits down on top of my feet. I smile, and almost cry. "I've got the best boyfriend."
I walk out of the door, hearing a guy in the hall. Who could that be? As I walk out, I almost scream. A big sign is across from my dorm, on an empty wall saying, 'George Loves Talim."
"Ew," I mumble looking at the pink and red sign. "Poor Talim."
Talim comes running through the hall my way, already dressed for the day. "What's that look for...OH MY GOD!" She looks at the sign and grabs her hair like she's about to yank it out. "George Roves is out to get me, I swear!" she says. She drops her duffel bag and grabs my arm. "Oh my god, you have to hear this. George, that weird guy, FOLLOWED Eomer and me to the Deli! He was taking pictures of me! On MY day with Eomer! Eomer ended up chasing the freak away, but oh my god, he's a weirdo...HEY!" she stops, looking into the room.
"You got a puppy! AWWW!!" She runs in and picks up Cash. "Adorable! Legolas was so excited. He kept on talking about how he was going to get you a puppy."
I smile. "Yea, isn't he cute?"
"Yes he...oops, I almost forgot something," she says, running back into the hall and tearing the sign into shreds and leaving it. "I'm going to throw it all around his door during lunch time."
I nod. "Yea, that sucks. He was probably stalking a few girls yesterday. He left me a few cards saying I was sexy and crap."
"We've got to get rid of him," Talim says. "Sabotage him, or something! Or hook him up with someone else!"
"That reminds me," I say. "How was Boromir's date with that girl?"
"Oh, not very good. He kept on telling her about Elise and her band and she finally just took off. Poor guy! He thought the date was going well till she started yelling at him about how she didn't want to spend Valentines Day with some guy who was obsessed over someone else," Talim answered. "Too bad Elise likes someone else. Oh, and by the way, Elise called for you and she wanted to tell you something."
"Oh, okay, I'll call her back then," I say, picking up the phone.
"Maybe she'll tell you about who she likes!! It could be her agent...or maybe Medoran. He's hot."
Elise: "Hello?"
Me: "Elise! Hey, it's me."
Elise: *squeal* "oh my god, girl. How was your Valentines Day with Legolas?"
Me: "It was great. We..."
Elise: "Yay, that's good. I have something to tell you. Don't freak out and don't get mad. I hope you don't mind..."
Me: "Um...okay. Tell me!"
Elise: "Uh...I had a good Valentines Day too. The band went out...except your brother. We ended up hanging out and Emma, don't hate me. I think I like your brother."
*Silence*
**More silence**
Elise: "Emma, are you there?"
Me: "Y-yea."
Elise: Oh, say something! I hope you don't mind or anything. I don't want to ruin our friendship if your brother and I ever break up. I want to make sure your okay with it."
Me: "Break-up? You mean your going out?"
Elise: "Um...yes."
Me: "...well I'm okay with it! I'm just so surprised! You dumped Boromir."
Elise: "Oh, that. I know, I know, but I need someone who I can SEE, though I still do like Boromir. I just don't like him as much as Edoran. Edoran has an awesome talent with music and I see him all the time. We write songs together and stuff. It just works out great."
Me: "Well, that's great! But if you ever fight, promise to leave me out of it. And stay friends no matter what. That's the only reason I wouldn't want you guys going out. You're my friend, Elise."
Elise: "Thank you, Emma. You're great. Things will be fine. We've already gotten a whole song done. It's my song to my mom, but we're starting on Rome's song called 'Emma'."
Me: *gasp* "REALLY?"
Elise: "Yep, that's what we're naming the CD! Emma."
ME: "I really don't know what to say. That's...oh my god, that's great!"
"They're naming their CD after me!" I exclaim.
Talim's eyes widened. "They are? Oh my god, that's great!"
"And they even have a line about my best friend...Talim," I say, smiling.
She laughs. "Are you serious? No way!"
"YES WAY!" I say.
All of the sudden someone knocks on the door, and we hear someone run away. "What the hell was that?" I wonder aloud.
Talim walks to the door and cracks it open. "Meet me at the Wizard Cup in fifteen minutes. I love you. -G." Talim reads aloud off a piece of paper on our Welcome mat. Then she comes back in. "It's George! If only your dog was bigger! And meaner!" Talim says. "I'd like someone to bite that guy's head off!!!"
I laugh. "We'll teach Cash to be a lean, mean, fighting machine, won't we?" I say jokingly as I hug the puppy.
"I'm SERIOUS!" Talim says, locking the door. "He could try kidnapping me next!" I laugh at how serious Talim sounds. Kidnap her? Yea right. Come on!
"Yea, whatever," I say, shaking my head.
