Haha, today my mom said, "This is pandemonium!" It made me laugh cause I'd
never heard her say that before.
Kali's big slip
Legolas and I go back to see the concert. Everyone seems to be having a lot of fun and the music is great. I would like to me a singer, if only I had the talent. Watching them rock out up there like they've been waiting all their life to do it, made me want to do it too. But I guess someone's got to watch and support them.
"GO EDORAN!" Talim and me shout together when Edoran jumps really high and the loud music makes the whole room shake.
I look up at the chandelier above us, which is swaying a little.
"Thi kine of a strane lace ooh av ock conert!" Legolas yells. I look at him totally confused. "WHAT?" I scream. He sighs. "THIS IS A STRANGE PLACE TO HAVE A ROCK CONCERT!"
I nod. It really is! Imagine the band, looking all wild with colored hair, having their concert in the ball room!
Kali POV
I watch the concert very closely. I watch closely all the time, even when they practice, to make sure nothing goes wrong, and if something does, I tell them. I just want them to be the best they can be I guess.
Then comes my favorite song!
Elise [talking]: "Where is that book report, Rome?"
Rome [talking]: "oops. I'm sorry Ms. Goldleaf! I was working so hard on my homework last night, it totally slipped my mind."
Elise [talking]: "HA! Make it a TEN page book report!"
Rome: [talking] "But we have a test tomorrow that I need to study for!"
Elise [talking]: "Oh, I hope you die of too much stress! So get to work!"
Elise: [singing] "I am miss Goldleaf, worse teacher you ever had. I'll give you a D, cause I love to see you sad."
Bridge: "I am lean, I am mean, your pop quiz making machine! Don't do your work, I go bezerk, and then I might just scream!"
All of us start laughing and pointing at Ms. Goldleaf, my old teacher.
"That moment was priceless!" says one kid to another.
"I am her daughter, as rude as they get. If I don't get what I want, I'll scream and have a fit!" Leanna, who seemed to be having a fun time making fun of her mom, suddenly goes pale when she hears the second verse.
"WHOOP!" I shout.
Rome runs off the stage when they're done. Everyone touches him as he goes by as if he was famous already. The DJ starts playing some mellow music. Rome comes to me and puts his hands on my waist. Everyone else gets in groups to dance. "Let's dance," Rome says.
"Sure," I say with a crooked smile. As I look at that adorable face of his, I think of so many memories. Life was hell when I first came here, but when him and I got to know each other, my life changed and I never felt completely alone again.
Suddenly the song goes a lot faster and I see Faramir and Eowyn doing the tango like crazy, bopping all over the place like dancing-pros.
"Whoa! I'd like to learn how to do THAT," I say.
"Not me," Rome says. "Looks hard."
"It looks fun," I say.
Eowyn stops, fans her face with her hand, and goes to sit down, leaving Faramir in this empty space by himself. "Faramir!" I yell. "Could you teach me how to do that?"
He pauses and looks at me for a minute. He probably doesn't know who I am, but right now I'm not feeling all shy. He smiles. "Sure!"
Before I know it, I'm swinging around as Eowyn was doing. Faramir isn't only a good teacher, but he leads so well, so I feel like I don't have to do anything. "I'm gonna swing you out, so spin!" he says.
He wraps me around into his chest, then spins me out really fast! I don't know what happened, but I guess my feet got caught up and I think I slipped over spilt punch, and the next thing I knew I was sliding across the floor into one of the stages. "OWWW!!" I howl as my side hits the wood stage.
Everyone crowds around me. I blink away tears and try to figure out who the blurry people are above me. I see Rome, bending over me, Emma looking very worried, and Faramir.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, what happened?" Faramir says frantically.
"Are you all right? Can you move?" Emma says.
"Talk, do anything! Kali, are you okay?" Rome says.
I just mumble a reply, "my foot..."
I see Ms. Goldleaf above me. "Let's get her to a hospital."
Rome POV
I watch as Kali gets put into the ambulance. I was shaking like crazy, from being so shaken up by this whole thing.
"She'll be okay," Emma lays a hand on my shoulder. I grab her hand and pull it right beside me. "It's only a broken ankle."
"Yes, but I feel like it happened to me," I say. "She's the first girl I've ever been so in love with. Her being hurt...kills me."
She nods and stares out in space as if thinking of something. She lets go of my hand and heads towards the dorm rooms. "I guess I'll go to my room now," she says, glancing back.
"Oh, okay. I'll go to the hospital."
She turns all the way around. "Would you feel better if I waited with you?"
"And could I come?" Faramir walks up.
Rome smiles, a real genuine smile. "I'd love you guys to come."
Legolas POV
I knock on Emma's door. After Kali's big slip, Emma just disappeared. "Who is it?" I hear Talim.
"Me, Legolas," I say. "Is Emma there?"
"Nope, she went to the hospital with Rome and Faramir," Talim says, poking her head out the door. "She'll be back in an hour, I think. You could come back then..."
"Naw, I think I'll just go to bed," I say. I turn and leave. I really hoped on spending more time with Emma tonight, but I guess I don't mind too much. I never knew she even liked Kali, but I guess that's just Emma for you. She really tries to be nice to everyone.
"Truth or dare?" Rome says.
I grin. "DARE!"
"Bad choice, Emma. Very bad choice cause I have the dare for you!" Rome chuckles. "I dare you to ask the nurse if she's straight. If she says yes, then be like "damnit, too bad, cause I'm gay...and you're hot."
"Ew," I say.
"Do it, Emma! It's gonna be sooo funny!" Faramir says.
I sigh and walk over to the nurse at the desk. I give a growl...ya know...a sexy growl! She glances up at me, giving me this strange look. "Hey hun, are you straight?" I ask.
She looks absolutely disgusted. "I am as straight as they come," she says.
"Damnit! Too bad," I say. Then as I'm leaving I whisper to her. "My friends dared me to say that."
Faramir and Rome cackle for what seems forever, rolling on the floor, pointing at me. I glance at this old man in the corner and he looks at me briefly, looks disgusted also, and holds his newspaper in front of his face.
A nurse comes in. "Rome, Emthiel, Faramir, you are now free to see your friend, Kali..."
