Chapter 8: Principal Glorfindel
Haldir saw Legolas in the lunch line so ran to catch up with him, and the two both bought salads and cup cakes. They sat next to each other in between Frodo and Pippin.
"Could I have the icing off your cupcake?" Pippin asked Legolas, who shook his head.
"No."
"Haldir, can I have some of the icing off your muffin?"
"No."
Pippin sighed.
"The popcorn just was not enough!" Pippin grumbled sadly and Legolas took out of his lunch box a juice box of Fruit Punch. Even Haldir got a Kool Aid.
"Legolas, how many juice boxes do you have in there?"
"I have two kool aid juices left and five grape juice boxes."
"Can I please have a Kool Aid?" Pippin asked.
"Yes." Legolas handed a Kool Aid to Pippin.
"Can I have a grape juice box?" Sam asked politely.
"Yes."
Legolas gave Sam a juice. Frodo, who just got back from Saint Tolkien's Hospital with stitches, came up to Legolas.
"Can I have a kool aid?"
"Yes."
Then, Merry came up to Legolas.
"Can I have a grape juice?"
"Yes."
Then Melkor came up to Legolas.
"You better give me all you food and lunch money, elfling, or else you may just end up at Saint Tolkien's Hospital next." Melkor said sharply, Legolas pulling out of his pocket a one hundred dollar bill and all of his juice boxes.
"Here you g-
Thranduil put a hand on Melkor's shoulder and frowned.
"Do you have any money for lunch young sir?"
"Yes, and this little elfling has my lunch money!" Melkor snapped, not ever looking at Thranduil, so poor Melkor had no idea that it was the elfling's father that was speaking with him.
"Perhaps you'd like to look at me and answer me again?" Thranduil said, frowning, as Melkor did not turn. Thranduil turned Melkor and Melkor gasped when he saw the elven king glaring at him.
"I'm sorry sir-
"It better, and I mean this, not happen again."
"It won't happen again sir, I promise!"
Melkor ran back to his table and ate his lunch in silence.
"Legolas, never give your lunch money to other people. Perhaps next time I wont give you so much money."
"Okay ada, here's the left over money." Legolas handed Thranduil the one hundred dollar bill.
"Thank you Legolas. I'm going home now." Thranduil kissed Legolas on his cheek and turned to leave when he noticed little Pippin clutching his grumbling stomach.
"Little hobbit, are you hungry?"
"Yes. Very."
"Here, go buy something to eat." Thranduil gave Pippin the one hundred dollar bill.
"Thanks sir!" Pippin grabbed the bill without hesitating and ran to the line.
"I'd like an apple, three pieces of pie, two slices of pizza, three cheeseburgers, half of a cake, a cup of coffee, two salads, some kool-aid, lemonade, a cup cake, some oreos, an ice cream sandwich, a salami sandwich, a ham sandwich, a cheese sandwich, a pizza wrap, a meatball submarine sandwich from subway, two crackers, chicken soup (extra large), thirty chocolate chip cookies and another bag of pop corn please, your best popcorn. And yes, I CAN pay for it all! Here's one hundred dollars."
Thranduil smiled and left, and just after he left Pippin learnt the sad truth that the school does not accept one hundred dollar bills.
The bell rang meaning lunch was over. Pippin kept the money since he planned to use it at McDonald's (not knowing that they do not accept one hundred dollar bills). All the children ran back to Gandalf's class.
"Welcome back children. Now, I believe you all want to know what we will be doing now?"
"Yes!" Everyone except Boromir (who was back from his detention) said.
"I hate this class," Boromir muttered. "We never do anything fun."
"Well, because this is the first day, every class is having an activity after noon. The activity we will be doing until school ends at 2 pm is Eagle flying! The eagles we will be riding are waiting for us on the school roof. And at the very end of the day all students will be coming up to the roof and I will be setting off fireworks in honor of the first school day! And since you are all in my class, you get front row seats!" Gandalf smiled, and Boromir's eyes widened in joy.
The intercom went on.
"Could all teachers please pass out the letter for parents that I have just had written and then go to their activities please? Thank you. Janitor Gollum please come to the front office, Janitor Gollum." Elendil's voice said from the intercom.
"Here are the papers..." Gandalf said. Faramir, who was very good at reading read the letter in his head.
Dear Parents,
I have decided to fire my son, principal Isildur. I find it will make the school a better place. We have chosen Glorfindel to replace Isildur, and Lindir will be replacing Glorfindel in music, since Lindir IS a minstrel of music and his name is 'singer'.
We, the school staff, hope this will make the school a better place. I will still be the secretary.
--ISILDUR
Secretary of Middle of Middle Earth School"So Glorfindel's our new principal?" Faramir asked.
"Yes Faramir. Now children, line up, we must go see the eagles now or else we will be late!" Gandalf smiled as all the children ran in line happily and followed their teacher up the many steps to the top of the building.
To be continued...
School was great, and I hope having Glorfindel as the principal will make their school great. Now, it's time for the response to reviews.
Jamie Leigh: Well... I think my school may be different than yours, because it's been two days since school started and I have been on the computer for two days.
That Undomiel Chick: Well, my school may have ending before yours, or I have more days off during the year than yours, or maybe it's just different for people in other parts of the world (I expect you live in the United Kingdom or in the United States, since I believe all/most of my readers live in those lands). Yep, setting chickens on fire is a Cield thing.
Laer4572: Thanks.
Spaztic Arwen: Same thing as a said to Undomiel (above) about school.
Kathysidle: That would have been good to have written...
InterstellarHobbit: Well, I go on the computer too much, and I have A LOT to do when I am on the computer.
SouthernGirl4615: Yay.
Haldir's Heart and Soul: Abandon this one too? What do you mean by that 'too'?
I am looking for suggestions!!!
