The next day, Elizabeth trudged wearily towards her school. That was the
last place she wanted to be. She wanted to be outside, in her world.
While some of the girls at her school knew the mall, she knew the woods.
There was the woods behind her house, it was the one place in this new town
that she truly loved. But then there was Jeremiah, that stuck up eighth
grader, (Elizabeth was in the eighth grade, too) always strutting around
the school with his band of goonies. And he huffed around the forest like
he owned the place. It was enough to drive one insane. If Jeremiah ever
caught her in the forest, he went insane, and all because he was born in
this town, all because he had been there longer. Well, it WAS on
Elizabeth's property, yet- yet she felt like no-one truly owned those
woods. No-one human.
Sometimes, sometimes Elizabeth thought she saw things in the woods. Things that weren't- no, she wouldn't say that they weren't natural. Sometimes, she could swear that she saw a iwhite/i deer, and it seemed as if the trees TALKED and- and maybe, just maybe, they moved.
As she approached the door of the small school house, she could feel the boys' eyes following her as she went in.
"Hey, 'Liz." She turned to see Julia beckoning her over. Elizabeth's dark- haired friend looked annoyed.
"Yeah?"
"Where were you last night?"
"What?"
"You missed the party. Remember? In celebration of our mid-terms."
"Oh! I'm so, so, sorry. I was."
"Out daydreaming by the park bench, right?"
"Yeah."
Julia smiled, "Hey, it's all right. Actually, I was going to ask why you didn't invite me to come with you."
"Really? But.... why? It was your party."
"Yeah, and quite frankly, my party stunk."
Elizabeth laughed. Julia was always able to make her smile. Naturally optimistic, her dark skinned, dark-haired slim friend could make anyone laugh.
"She's right, you know. Her little brother had put the wrong date for his birthday party on the invitations, and all his annoying preschool friends showed up," said Amy, a slightly plump, slightly weight conscious blonde, "You must have had more fun than us."
"Oh, I don't know. Many people wouldn't find what I do out there enjoyable."
"What do you do, anyway?"
"I just sit and stare at the stars."
"You know, Liz, sometimes I question your sanity," Came a sneering voice behind her. Jeremiah Steener stood, Braden and Will right behind him.
"Well, Jeremiah, you aren't exactly one to be criticizing my mental health. Let's go." Elizabeth whirled, and stalked up the staircase.

Okay, I know that this whole story is definitely not all that probable, and there are a lot of parts in this that I'm still working out- for example, I know that at this point in time. in our time, I mean, Legolas would probably be on Valinor. All that stuff will be explained later on in the fic. I will also have you know that the Legolas in this story is a sort of cross between movie Legolas, and book Legolas. I myself like the book one better, I read it first (in third grade) and I myself don't much like the way that the movie portrays Legolas, I like the less-depressed Elf from the book, so that is probably what you will be seeing more of, but I though that the sort of moderate way that he acts in the movie will fit the character at this point in time. Okay, I'll stop my pointless ramblings now, and let you people continue with your lives, because I know that y'all have much better things to do then to listen to me rave about my fic for pages and pages. I want you to come back to read more of my writing, not want to strangle me for taking too long, so without further ado, Bye!
