Author's Note : Sorry it's been a while since I've updated this! School,
homework, random hobbits appearing out of the closet.....ok, not the last
one. But we have A LOT of homework, not to mention I'm on the student
council and a basketball team. And to remind you, my name is not Emily. I
didn't really change everybody else's names, but I used to really want my
name to be Emily so I decided to use it for the fic. Anyway.....enjoy!
Frodo Friday
Chapter 6
Where in the World is Frodo Baggins........From?
"Everybody, get out your maps from yesterday and start working immediately," Mrs. Wozama told the class. I pulled out my binder, opened the rings, and pulled out the map.
"Asia," Frodo read from the top of the map, looking over my shoulder. "What's Asia?"
"It's a continent," I told him.
"Feel free to put your desks together and work with someone," Mrs. Wozama said from the front of the room. Tory, Sarina, and my other friend Katherine turned their desks toward mine. Frodo pulled up a chair.
"Ok..." Sarina mumbled. "Where's Thailand?"
"Here," I said, pointing to my map. Everyone scratched away at their maps with their pens.
"Japan..." Katherine said, reading off the next country on the list.
"Here," said Tory, pointing.
"Where's Hobbiton?" asked Frodo. The four of us snickered silently.
"Um..." I said, making up a quick excuse. "It's on another map."
"Oh...I see," replied Frodo.
This carried on for the next twenty minutes: one of us calling out a country, another one of us finding it on the map, writing the name in, etc. and so forth. After a while, I felt something tugging on my sleeve...or someone. Yup, it was Frodo.
"Yes?" I asked. "We were just about to do Malaysia."
"I still have to go to the bathroom," he whined. He was definitely squirming now.
"Fine," I grumbled. "I'll be right back," I told the group. Grabbing Frodo's hand, I trudged up to the front of the classroom and approached Mrs. Wozama.
"Mrs. Wozama?" I asked. "This is my cousin Fred. He has to go to the bathroom. May I take him?"
"Ah, Fred," she said with a know-it-all look on her face as she leaned back in her chair, very un-Wozama like. Watch it, I though. Don't lean back too far and hit your head on the chalkboard. Wait...that would mean no more Social Studies... Before I could continue my thought, she interrupted.
"Yes, I've heard about Fred," she told me. "Where are you from, Fred?"
"Hob...bi...ton," he tried to squeeze out despite the bladder pressure.
"Excuse me?" Mrs. Wozama asked. "I didn't hear you."
"Um...he's a little bit shy," I told her. "He's from Germany."
"No," said Frodo, a little bit louder, "Hobbiton."
"Hobbiton?" asked Mrs. Wozama. "In all my years of teaching geography, I've never heard of that one."
Yup, I though, ALL those years. All hundreds and hundreds... But I had to think of a response, so I could get Frodo to the bathroom before the period ended. "Um...Hobbiton is a town...in Germany."
"Ok." she replied. "Is it nice there?"
"Yes, very nice," I replied quickly before Frodo could.
I suddenly became aware of the sound of shuffling books and papers from behind me. That meant that the period was almost over. I checked the clock - yep, 10:25.
"Oh!" Mrs. Wozama cried. "It's time to go. See you all tomorrow."
Frodo would have to wait yet another period to empty his bladder.
Author's note - So? Did ya'll like it? I hope you did. Here's a bit of a teaser for the next chapter: Pop Tart returns! English! Taking notes! Bathroom problems! Keep reading to find out what happens in...dum dum dum dum!...the next chapter of FRODO FRIDAY!
