Okay, I think I'll let this extend to 3 more chapters [including this one.
I don't want to drop this story so quickly]. I have so many other things to
write about. Tyson's crush on Emma, the end of the school year, and our
buddy Rome has to be in here!
But I'm not doing the graduation. I don't find graduations very exciting to write about. It's lots of sitting and listening to people talk. Ok, on we go!
Sorry I haven't written any for a while! I was grounded :(
"A toast!" I say, holding up my [spiked with beer] coke. We paid some dude in the club to buy us a few drinks and we all poured it into our cokes.
"A toast to us!" Talim says, standing and hitting her glass with her fork. Everyone takes a big swig.
"And a toast to the end of the school year," Tony says. "Which is coming up in three weeks!"
"WHOOP!!" Eowyn says. "And I'd like to add...well, I never had a better year in my life with so many great people. I'm gonna look back on all of our memories for the rest of my life and think of how great you guys are!"
"Awwww," everyone goes.
"I honestly can't wait for next year. Our last year all in one place before some of us go off to collage. I'll miss you guys to death when I'm at home in Rivendell!" I say.
Talim starts looking like she's gonna cry. "I'll be in Mirkwood all summer!!"
"Don't worry, Talim. We'll get Emma in Mirkwood as often as we can," Legolas says.
"Don't leave me in Rivendell too often, now, Emma," Arwen winks. "We're gonna have tons of fun pulling pranks in my father's house or something."
"Everyone will keep in touch," Ryson says.
"You're stuck with us for the summer, Ryson!" Faramir says.
"Uh oh," Ryson pretends to be scared. "Save me, Emma!" he says, grabbing onto my arm. I laugh and shake him off.
"Ryson, look, Charlene and the band is over there. Should we go say hi to them?" Tony asks.
"Sure," Ryson says and they run off.
"Remember when we first went to our Greenwings concert?" I ask.
"Yea, I remember it well," Talim says dreamily, grabbing Eomer's hand. He smiles shyly at her.
"Yea, that whole trip to Rivendell was amazing.
Boromir looks into space and frowns. Now I remember, that's when he met Elise. Lurin cuddles up to him and he just looks at her and smiles. He must be happy now.
"I remember, Greenwings and Arwen couldn't stop rambling on together while we just sat there," Aragorn makes a face.
"HEY!" Arwen says, punching Aragorn in the shoulder. "Ow," he says.
"Let's not just sit here," Eomer says finally. "Let's dance."
"Yea," Legolas says, grabbing my hand.
Legolas and me dance together. "I'm gonna miss the hell out of you," he says. "I can't remember how I got along with life before you," he says, kissing me gently.
"Legolas, do I have to leave you?" I ask.
"Unfortunately, you do, but I'll try to get you over to Mirkwood at least three times. Don't worry, it won't be forever," he says.
"Can I cut in?" Tyson asks. I turn to him and nod. "I'll see you at the table, Em," Legolas says walking off.
So Tyson and me start dancing. "You love him a lot, don't you?" he asks.
"Like you have no idea," I say, smiling to myself. I notice him frown. "What's wrong, Ry?" I ask.
He shrugs. "Well...I've liked you forever."
I laugh, trying not to sound uneasy. "Forever? You've only known me for a couple of weeks!"
"Yea," Ryson nods. He looks straight into my eyes and I look straight into his. They're so light blue it's almost scary.
"Is that your natural eye color?" I say suddenly.
He rolls his eyes. "Yes, but could you not change the subject?" he says. "Just either tell me you could never like me that way or..."
"I could never like you THAT WAY, Ryson," I say. "But I do think your great and I know we can become extremely close. But for sure not right now, and later...well, I don't know."
He manages to smile. "Thank you for being honest. I'm cool enough to be close to?"
I laugh. "I don't like people because they're 'cool', but you ARE cool. Of course we can be close. Friends?"
"Definitely," he agrees.
I'll come up with an ending soon. I'm kinda looking forward to something new already. Sorry, that was too short!!! BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET!
