Arwen had decided she didn't like her name, her stupid mother had named her after that stupid girly fairy-tale character. Arwen especially since that new guy came to her school whose stupid mother also liked the same fairy-tale and therefore named him Aragorn. Why. Why, why, why, why. Oh they laughed, the mocked, they shunned. This was why when Arwen's alarm clock trilled away she hid under the cover and when her mother climbed the stairs to her room she hid under the pillow. "Arwen, get out of bed this instant you can't be late on Monday it's such a bad start to the week."
"The week will be terrible anyway!" Arwen's voice was muffled by the pillow. "Now why would that be?" her mother had put on her I-care-about-you-you-can-talk-to-me voice. "I'm not going back to school, ever." Arwen said bluntly. "Why not?"
"Why did you have to name me after that stupid fairy princess?"
"Elfin queen actually and she's one of the most beautiful characters in the mythology of middle earth said to have been Gondor's most beautiful queen."
"Yes well Gondor sucks I'm moving to Rohan."
"It'll be a five hour drive to school every day."
"That will not matter as I am not going to school."
"Arwen you're being silly, get up. Now!"
Arwen arrived at school ten minutes late after putting up a very good fight but in the end her mother won. Her mother always won. Aragorn was by the gate. As soon as she walked to the steps of her classroom the stupid comments came, Arwen made a rude gesture at all the taunters and made her way over to her group of friends. Namely Charlotte, Eliza and Eowith (Eowith's mother also liked stupid classical names, but at least she wasn't named after stupid fairy princesses it was a relitivley ordinary name.) "These people are so immature remind me again why we have to spend time with them?" she said trying to act like the comments were only a slight annoyance to her. "Because, they're in our class." Eliza told her, always the logical one Arwen looked at her with an expression that could freeze molten metal in a moment "You do realise that I didn't actually want an answer, it was a rhetorical question!"
"Arwen, chill girl! Relaaaaax." Charlotte could always tell when a situation was about to boil over and knew how to avert danger "Come on you can complain to us we'll make sympathetic noises in all the right places!" that made Arwen break her stony expression, she could always rely on Charlotte. Then the bell went and they all filed into their first class of the day (Arwen having missed form period and roll call altogether.) history, a good chance for a nap. They sat down and the teacher began to drone on "Now today class we'll be starting an exciting new subject." Many of the class made sarcastic noises. "We will begin to uncover the truths behind some of Gondor's greatest legends and to start with I thought we would research the legends of the namesakes of two of are class-members" Arwen though she could throttle her teacher "I am sure that you all know which legend I am speaking of," the class smirked and laughed behind their hands "for any who haven't realised we will be studying the legend of Aragorn and Arwen and their great love." This was too much, the entire class burst into laughter. Arwen attempted to crawl under her desk.
