I am in a final exam so I need to place more time on studying. Anyway, here is Day 3 for this elves!

The sunlight shone into the flat. I walked out from the bedroom as usual. I wore the white school uniform dress, my long, black hair was tied into a ponytail as usual. I smiled, as I trusted today would be a great day also. Gabriel was putting the bowls of noodles onto the table, his black hair was brushed tidily as usual. Feanor and Fingolfin were sitting on the chairs. There was (which I felt strange) silence.
"Good morning everyone," I said, trying to break the silence.
"Good morning Echo," Gabriel replied, putting a blue bowl onto the table, in front of Fingolfin. "Thank you," Fingolfin said, taking a pair of chopsticks from the table. Feanor, who sat next to him, picked up the chopsticks and used it to pick up some noodles. I closed my eyes and started to pray. "Dear Lord, thank you for helping farmers to grow wheat and let factories make noodles. Therefore, we can eat noodles. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Amen." Then I opened my eyes and ate the noodles.
After finishing our meal, Gabriel spoke, "I am going to work and Echo's going to school. I don't want to leave you two at home."
"Where are you working at?" Feanor asked.
"I work at a restaurant," Gabriel said, but he considered that they didn't know what is a restaurant, so he added, "A place where I serve food to other people."
"I learn different knowledge at school," I said, then I realised that plushies were forbidden at school. I stopped a bit, then spoke again, "You need to hide, don't let other people see you." The elves considered, next Feanor spoke, "I am going with Gabriel."
"Don't worry, Echo," Fingolfin whispered. Suddenly, he shrank into fifteen centimetres tall, not in his elven height (two metres, I estimate) anymore. "Then you can bring me to school, nobody will find me." He suddenly asked, "Why I need to hide?"
"It's because..." I couldn't say the following. He would feel sad when he knew himself as a plushie and was forbidden to school. Fortunately, Fingolfin knew I had something didn't want to say, he didn't ask me anymore. I asked, "Are you going with me?"
"I am," Fingolfin replied. Gabriel interrupted, "We are moving. Feanaro let's go!"
Hence, we left the flat. I suddenly thought about a message which my classmate sent me before the Easter holiday:
Class 1A Chatroom
Karis: Manwe sent me a gift!
Alan: Do that matters?
Karis: You don't know who Manwe is? Fine. Someone important.
Echo (me): What did he tell you?
Karis: I came to him two years ago. He also sends me three plushies. They are Turgon, Glorfindel and Ecthelion! My favourite characters are at my home! I'm so happy! Since then, I can hug the elves and sleep together.

I wrote Chinese characters onto the worksheet swiftly, answering the questions which were printed on the paper, about a visit to the Museum of Terracotta Warriors in Xi An. "Why does the writer mention what did Jacques Chirac and the Swede say?" I repeated the question. I thought of nothing. Suddenly, a paper was passed to me, with some English words on it. You look troubled. May I help you? I quietly read the words, then glanced at Fingolfin, who looked at me with a pencil (as tall as him at that time, he's in plush form) on his hands, with a worried look. I glanced around, confirming nobody was watching, then wrote on the paper, I will figure it out myself.
However, I wasn't exactly figuring out the solution by just myself, I'm going to ask Karis. When I turned to her and tried to ask her, she was speaking softly to the drawer.
"Do you think of anything, Turukano?" She asked.
"Nothing at this moment," A calm voice replied.
Karis did bring Turgon to school! I thought. Maybe Fingolfin realised that?
My guess was correct. The paper was passed to me, it wrote, I find my son. I'm going to meet him.
I quickly wrote, Please, not yet! Meet him at the recess!
However, Fingolfin was faster. He leapt down from the drawer, landing on the floor. After standing up, he ran swiftly towards Karis' seat. Karis heard the sound of running, she looked downwards and saw Fingolfin standing below her, next to her chair.
Please don't tell the teacher, I begged Karis silently, I don't want Fingolfin to be found by Ms Lee!
Karis gently picked Fingolfin up, she whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." She placed Fingolfin inside her drawer. Fingolfin walked towards his son, I couldn't see his expression. Turgon was pretty surprised to see his father in the classroom with him, just right in front of him. "Atar..." He whispered, "Is that you?"
"Turukano," Fingolfin said, "I'm here."
Turgon smiled warmly. He told his father about his days with Karis' family, Glorfindel and Ecthelion. He spoke about how they spent the holidays together, how they encountered fun, and grace. When he finished talking, Fingolfin spoke about how he spent the days with us since he arrived with Feanor. They chatted happily when I was having my Chinese class, but my attention was always on the elves.
Finally, the bell rang, which symbolised the start of the recess. "This is the recess," I said, "We can rest from classes, doing things we like."
"What do you usually do?" Fingolfin asked.
"I usually read at the recess," I replied, "Or draw elves. I have drawn both of you on my paper." After talking, I took out a paper, which had several elves' drawing. Karis pointed at the paper and said, "This is beautiful, Echo. You have talent on drawing."
"Thank you," I said, then I asked the elves, "What do you think about my drawing of you?"
"This is quite great." They said in unison. I smiled at them.
The next classes were silent. I had my classes as usual, sometimes draws elves on my notebook. The plushie elves were sitting togethert in Karis' drawer, talking happily. Nothing happened.
Until lunch.
