Chapter 7- New Students
The next day, the students were all coming to school from their various parts of the Earth, and were all milling around with friends, waiting for school to start. But there weresix new students present, who knew no one at all.
Arwen and Éowyn walked up to the blonde girl. "Hi, what's your name?" Arwen asked her.
"Goldberry," she replied. "What's yours?" the girl said.
"I'm Arwen of Rivendell," Arwen replied.
"And I'm Éowyn of Rohan," Éowyn replied. "You're new right?" Goldberry nodded. "You are so lucky! You missed the cafeteria war, and how Faramir's science project exploded."
"When did all this happen?" Goldberry asked.
"Just yesterday. Typical day, in our school." Arwen said as Goldberry raised her eyebrows at the notion of so much commotion in one day.
"See, the food fight was initiated by those two," Éowyn explained, pointing to Merry and Pippin. "They are true troublemakers."
"Halflings, correct?" Goldberry asked.
"Yes, as are those two, Frodo and Sam," Éowyn said. "That, um, thing over there was one, but he obviously isn't anymore, so now we just call him Gollum," she said pointing at Gollum. "He's kind of a loser, always talking about some precious or whatever, and referring to himself in 1st person plural. Watch. Hey Gollum!" she called to the creature. "Éomer has the Precious!"
"PRECIOUS! Where is it?! IT'S OURS!" Gollum screamed. He started bounded over to Éomer, about to attempt a tackle.
"Éomer, look out!" Elladan and Elrohir yelled just as Éomer jumped aside, sending Gollum straight into the wall. Éomer ran from the creature, and once Gollum had regained his senses, he began chasing Éomer all around the schoolyard, as the students laughed their heads off. Éomer being on the football team, it was quite a chase.
"I don't have the Precious!" Éomer shouted as he ran. Gollum finally tackled him, and wrestled him to the ground.
"Get off me, you creep!" Éomer yelled. They fought for a minute, until Gollum limped away, and Éomer got up with torn clothes and sore fists from punching. "I'll get you for that, Éowyn," he said. "I will, my sister…"
"So, that's why you stay away from Gollum," Arwen needlessly explained.
"Yeah," Éowyn agreed. "Now over there, that's my brother, Éomer, who just got chased around the schoolyard…"

Legolas, Aragorn, and Éomer went over to the shortest student, obviously a dwarf. "What business does a dwarf have in Middle Earth High?" Éomer asked him.
"Give me your name and I shall give you mine," he replied.
"I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it-"
"Alright, alright, Éomer, that is enough!" Aragorn said, cutting him off. "My apologies for his, err, behavior. He is Éomer of Rohan, and this is Legolas of Mirkwood, and I am Aragorn from, well, wherever."
"I am Gimli," the dwarf said, "but I don't associate with Elves." Gimli looked up at Legolas and gave him a disdainful look.
"Hmph. Dwarf!" Legolas yelled.
"Elf!" Gimli yelled back.
"Dwarf!"
"Elf!"
"Fine!" Legolas said as he turned his back.
"Same to you!" Gimli said. "Never trust an Elf…"
&
After his ordeal with the dwarf, Legolas went to another new student, who was an Elf like himself. "Hi!" he said pleasantly.
"Um, hi…" the other Elf replied, a bit taken aback.
"I am Legolas of Mirkwood, what's your name?" Legolas asked him.
"Haldir. I am of the Lorien realm," he answered.
They soon started talking, and finally Legolas warned him, "Don't go near the dwarf. He has attitude issues…"
&
All five hobbits went to the other student, who looked to be half man, and half hobbit. "Are you a hobbit? Or a man?" Pippin asked him.
"Hello to you too…" the student said.
"Pippin! That's rude!" Sam said.
"Sorry, Mr. Manners," Pippin said sarcastically to Sam. "Good morning. May I make your acquaintance?" Pippin politely said to the student.
"Oh, I'm Tom, and to answer your question, I don't know," he answered. "I suppose I'm just different then everyone else, because I'm neither," the student, Tom, said.
"Oh, so you're half and half, or- what?" Pippin said, cocking his head to one side, confused.
"He doesn't know what he is," Merry explained. "You're thinking too much, Pip."
"Oh, ok," Pippin said. "That's cool."
"Yeah," Tom said. "So, what's that screaming thing over there?" he asked the hobbits…
&
Éomer and Éowyn left to go talk to the human student, who was also their cousin, Théodred. After a quick chat, they left, and Éowyn got busy talking to the other new girl. Meanwhile though, Éomer was busy staring at the her.
"Who's that guy over there staring at me?" the girl, named Lothíriel, asked as she pointed to Éomer.
Éowyn looked followed Lothíriel's finger to see Éomer staring at her. "Him? That's my brother, the one who got chased around the schoolyard. But, uh, I'll be right back," she said as she hurried over to Éomer. "Éomer! What are you doing?" she asked him.
"Look, Éowyn, she's pretty…" Éomer said, still staring at Lothíriel.
"And you're delusional," Éowyn said as she slapped her brother on the cheek.
"Oww! What was that for?" he cried out as Éowyn broke his trance.
"For being stupid," Éowyn replied.
Éomer sighed. "Well, could you at least tell her I said 'hi,' or something?" he asked.
Éowyn was doubtful. "Hmm, well-" she started. But then in her brain concurred a new idea, and she replied to her brother: "Sure Éomer, I'll tell her you said hi." And then she strode back to Lothíriel with a smile on her lips.
"Hey," she said to Lothíriel. "That's Éomer, my brother. And he wants me to tell you he says hi-"
Yes, Éomer thought, my plan is working!
"and that he thinks you're absolutely gorgeous and he'd like to ask you to the Spring Dance," Éowyn finished. Yes, she thought, my plan has worked!
Éomer heard these words leave his sister's mouth, and at first thought he wasn't hearing clearly. First he stared at Éowyn, then at Lothíriel, then back at Éowyn. This is the second time, he thought sadly, that my sister has tricked me in ten minutes.
Éomer walked up to Gollum. "Alright Gollum," he said, "you can kill me now."
But then, as if just on perfect timing, the bell rang, signaling the students to go inside and start another crazy day in Middle Earth High.
A/N: Hey all! I wanted to get this chapter up quick tonight, because I have the first of three shows of my school play, "Yearbook," in approximately 1.5 hours. And instead of going and reviewing my lines like I should, I have treated you all to another chapter! I didn't really like it because of all the introduction stuff, but oh well! Next chapter will be up soon and better!
By the way, my friend, who is also in the play and whose pen name is Trish Shakespeare, saw me at play practice the other day and said I should credit her to the phrase "vertically challenged," used to describe Pippin WAY back in Chapter 1! So, LOVE THE PHRASE, GIRL! GO YEARBOOK!
Ahem, anyways, here are the new students! Everyone welcome Goldberry, Tom, Théodred (amazingly here from the dead!), Haldir, Lothíriel, and Gimli! If you haven't read the book, you don't know who Tom and Goldberry are. The hobbits encountered Tom Bombadil in the Old Forest, I believe, and he took them back to his home on the River, where they met Goldberry, who lived with Tom. I wanted more girls in the story (as cheerleading tryouts are up soon!), so I added Goldberry and Lothíriel in. Hope everyone likes it! More reviews! I love you all!
mz-turner- Perhaps he would look hot with red hair… Ha ha ha, no pun intended. You think the story is great, I think the reviews are great! So I'll keep writing and you keep reviewing and then everything will be great! PS: You know that little story you put in your review for last chapter? Would you mind if I used it and put something like it into the story? That would be funny!
Amalita: I was laughing as I wrote it! That idea with Gimli is hilarious! I will have a football game coming up soon, with the orc team, and I'll use the idea. Maybe an orc can throw him through the goalposts, too!
