Forgive me for the stupidity of the last chapter. I don't know what was wrong with me when I wrote that. Haha, I wasn't high, I swear.

Thank you Coffee!!! Hehe, that really made me happy. Anyone can be just as good of writer as me if they write a lot. I don't think I write all that good. I just have a desire to write!! By 13 I wrote at least two personal books w/ 130 pages. Fan fiction is my kinda site. Haha. To the CHICK FIC!!!

Teenage Politics

"EMMA GOLDRING!"

I look up from the table I'm scrubbing to see Leanna and her friends. Leanna holds up a camera. I frown and she takes a picture of me, scrubbing the lunch tables. "This is going in the High school Newspaper!" Nikita giggles.

I roll my eyes and get back to work. This sucks. I can't talk to anyone for two weeks during lunch or after-school work period. At least by the end of detention today, I'll get to hang with my friends at the Wizard's cup.



"Emma!!" Talim shouts and runs to hug me. "You can finally talk."

"Ohmygodthatsthehardestthingtodo!!!" I say really quickly.

"Getting Emma to shut up all day...I thought that was impossible," Boromir jokes. Lurin punches Boromir in the arm.

"I think you have me confused with Talim," I say. Talim slaps my shoulder. "OW!"

"Here we are!" Legolas exclaims. "The Wizard's Cup!"

"OUR place," Eowyn says.

"Our hangout only for the COOL people," Faramir jokes.

Aragorn, Arwen, Eowyn, Faramir, Lurin, Boromir, Legolas, Talim, Eomer, and I all sit down at a big booth, still all squished together.

"Oh really, then why is Rimonna here?" Arwen asks.

"Oh no," Legolas mutters, trying to hide his face behind Aragorn's head.

"Hey guys!" Tyson says, walking in. "What's up?"

"Yo, Ty!" Legolas and Tyson slap hands.

"I have to go, guys. But...here you go." Tyson hands each of us a green flyer.

"Cutting Edge Goodness Concert. This Friday!" Talim says. "I'll come. I had so much fun last time!"

"Me too!" I say. "Cutting Edge Goodness is pretty cool."

"I heard that your taking singing and bass lessons to start playing in Cutting Edge-G. Is it true?" Arwen asks.

"Well, yea, they need good vocals and I think I can sing good...but I'm having a little trouble with bass," Tyson says. "Anyways, I have to finish passing these out."

"Okay, talk to you later, bro," Legolas.

"SEE YOU AT THE SHOW!!" Talim and I yell as he runs out. We start laughing at our own embarrassment as everyone in the whole café turns to look at us.

"You can look away now. Nothing exciting going on," Talim says. Everyone in our own little group starts laughing at Talim.



Leanna's POV

"Mr. Enduin, this is for our school!" I explained. "All of these kids have all agreed to make this school a worse place. They want to cause trouble. I hear them making fun of you constantly."

"This is unacceptable. I never thought Arwen Undomiel, Legolas Greenleaf OR the sons of Denathor would be pulled into this sort of crowd. Your wish will be granted, if the student body agrees with you. If I get 500 votes or more against them, then they go. You have ONE week."

I smile. My plan had to work. I'd been hoping for something like this forever! Getting RID of Emma and her friends...

[Emma POV Thursday]

I buy the High School Newspaper as I usually do on Thursday and flip through it. Then I pause at my picture! Leanna wasn't joking when she said that picture was for the newspaper.

"Seems that a group of kids in our school have been making it their hobby of getting into trouble. What has happened to our respectful, quiet school? Now we have wild kids running around, pulling pranks, drinking, skipping school, and doing other disrespectful things! Our school is a PRIVATE school for kids with honorable parents. Have these honorable parents stopped disciplining their kids correctly? A perfect example is Emma Goldring. She was caught drunk with two well thought-of boys just a few days ago. Her and her friends seem to be in all the mischief and action.

What can we do to stop this? I'll tell you what. We can have the school ridded of the kids! If the school receives five hundred votes for getting rid of these kids [Emma Goldring, Legolas Greenleaf, Talim Throid, Aragorn son of Arathorn, Arwen daughter of Elrond, Eowyn and Eomer Sereg, Faramir and Boromir, sons of Denathor, and Lurin Nimorn] then they will be kicked out. Keep in mind that this is to keep our school better and safer.'

I growl at the stupid paper and throw it into the nearest trash bin. This couldn't happen! They couldn't kick me out! I wasn't a BAD girl!! I had gotten drunk, once! Leanna gets drunk in clubs every weekend!



Friday

"So far we have two hundred votes," said the principal. The whole student body was sitting down in the chairs around the platform the principal, my friends, and I were on. I felt like I was on trial or something. "And it's only been two days. Anyone that HAS voted against these kids, please tell us why YOU voted to get rid of them."

We had one kid raise their hand. "I voted to get rid of them because of what I read in the paper. I don't KNOW them," said one guy. It seemed like most of the people said stuff like that.

One kid raised his hand and stood...I noticed it was Tony! He had been my lab partner and I thought we got along really good! Why did he vote? "Emma Goldring stood up for me when kids were picking on me once. She's really nice to everyone, unless they're REALY mean to her, I guess. I find nothing wrong with her. She hasn't done anything especially bad...we've all done what she's done, I think. Who agrees?"

Ryson stood up next to Tony. "I agree. I know all of those kids up there and I have only good things to say about all of them."

Charlene stands up. "I support those people if my friends do."

Before I know it about 4/5 of the kids are standing, lots of them commenting on how they disagreed with the newspaper article.

"Well..." Principal Enduin said slowly. "I hope you guys are happy. These kids aren't leaving."

Almost everyone cheers, especially my friends and me. I never knew I had such good friends out of my own group. I never knew how much I was loved.

I glanced at Leanna, who was cursing about me to her friends. I smiled. I wouldn't want this day to go any other way. I jump off the stage and hug Tony. "You saved me!" I squeal.

He laughs. "Let's go to set up for the concert!" Tony says. "Anyone wanna come?"

"PAR-TAY!" Talim screams.

"Sure, let's go!" I agree.


I'm thinking of ending this story soon. I just need to start on something new. I'm kinda proud of this story how it all went all together. I have some new ideas for a new story tho, with a cool twist with more of a LOTR base to it. Comment and give ideas about how this could end, I guess, though I already do have an idea. Tell next time ;).

IM me at Wildechilde777 if you want. Xoxo.
