The Beginning - part 1

"Please pay attention children. Quiet please" Lord Elrond pleaded at the front of the room, but he wasn't heard. Nothing was over the yelling and screaming going on in the hall.

"Be quiet" he tried again. A few kids at the front of the room turned around in their seats to face him, but the rest of the pack continued throwing paper around.

"OI! SHUT UP!" Elrond screamed at the top of his lungs.

The hall was silent, save for the echoing sneeze of a contagious elf.

"That's better" Elrond sighed. "My name is Lord Elrond and I am the principal of this school. Think of me as your judge, jury and executioner. Here, troublemakers will be delt with swiftly and severely. I suggest that all you children try to keep out of trouble." The worldless "or else" was felt throughout the hall.

He emphasised the word 'children' in the last sentence, making himself feel a bit more powerful. He needed it.

"What happened to the whole 'nurturing envirnment' deal on the brochure?" a girl whispered to her friend

"Yeah, I know Arisha, it's sounding a bit more like a millitary school right about now, and there was a good enough one of them back in Gondor" Her "friend" Dimnovion replied.

"Now you are going to be split up into your dorm rooms. There are three hallways. Each hallway has four rooms. There are two boys rooms and two girls rooms. Each room has five students. If you calculate correctly," (here he paused his tirade to look with accusation at the faces before him) "you'll know that means we have 60 students. These six third year students will take you to your rooms. Please listen for your names to be called" Elrond explained "This is Aragorn, Legolas, Europa, Ariadne, Simon and Simone. They are going to look after you"

The teenagers sat on the floor, anxiously, waiting to find out who they woul be stuck sharing a room with for the rest of the year.

"I hope i'm in your room Pippin, we'll have so much fun together" A small girl called Hanna said
"Um, I think they separate the boys and the girls." Arisha laughed at the stupidity of this hobbit
"Oh, um, yeah, I knew that," Hanna tried to excuse herself "I just forgot."
"Yeah right" Arisha mocked again, her friends joining in this time.
"You don't have to make fun of her for it. It's not very nice" a new female voice joined in the fray
"I'm sorry who are you?" Arisha asked, the sneer in her voice almost palpible.
"I'm Aralithiel" the voice replied
"That's nice, I don't care" Arisha smiled a mocking smile and walked off
"Wonder what's up her butt." Aralithiel laughed
"I don't really know," Hanna replied "I'm Hanna."
"Call me Ara."
"Nice to meet you."

An hour later the kids had all been successfully settled into their dorm rooms. It turned out, to the girls' dismay, that Ara and Hanna had been put in the same room as Arisha. They were also with another hobbit, Primrose Willow. She was from the Shire too, but not from Hobbiton with Hanna so they'd never met before.

"There are only four of us" Hanna stated, plomping down on her huge four poster bed
"So you can count Hobbit," Arisha said. Her red curls bouncing in front of her mocking face. "Nice to know."
"Four girls, five beds" Hanna continued, unphased by the rude interruption .
"Maybe someone's late or something" Ara suggested, running her finger down the window sill to check for dust
"Or maybe someone decided not to come" Primrose offered "They could've changed their mind"
"Clean?" Hanna asked Ara
"Clean" Ara replied, sliding her unpacked suitcase under her bed
"So what are we supposed to do for the rest of the day?" Hanna asked as she folded her dresses and slid them into her drawer
"Ariadne told as just before she left, our first class starts at 11 and, then lunch, then two more classes, then we get to relax" Arisha sighed "don't you listen"
"I like to tell people I have a memory defect" Hanna said, in all honesty
"Um guys, I hate to interrupt this bonding session but what's the time?" Ara asked, standing at the door
Arisha looked at her tiffany's watch "It's 3 to 11" she supplied

Two seconds passed before the girls fully realised, they were going to be late for their first class, and they didn't even know where it was. It would take ages to find in this new huge school and they couldn't ask anyone because everyone would already be there.

Primrose looked at the timetable attached to the wall "We've got combat training on the West oval"
"Okay" Ara thought out loud, chewing on the ends of her long brown hair "The west oval should be..."
"In the west?" Arisha sarcastically suggested
"Thank you Captain Obvious" Ara retorted, sticking out her tongue "lets just go"

The quartet of girls quickly shoved their books in their bags and raced out the door. Down the hall, turn left. Down another hall, turn left again. Out a massive wooden door. Down a path, cut quickly across the grass. Run into a dead end, turn around. Pick up Hanna after she trips over a loose cobblestone. Run through the trees, into the woods etc etc.

15 minutes later the girls found themselves finally out of the woods, literally and metaphorically. They'd finally run up a hill onto the west oval.
"Thank god" Primrose puffed "I don't think i can walk another step"
The gaggle of girls, half laughing-half trying to breathe collapsed

W/N: I didn't finish, i'll finish tomorrow

EDIT: I changed phrasing, added a few little comments - change anything u don't agree with ~Tyrium

crumble decided to bag out her friends at 6:26 pm

Characters in the Story

Arathiliel - a travelling elf. Not from anywhere in particular. Medium height, long brown hair, blue eyes. Socially unaccepted because her parents are unknown and she is poor but retains endless amounts of knowledge.

Arisha - a woman from Gondor. Medium height, green eyes, long red curly hair. Excellent swordswoman, makes them herself but gets lost very, very easily. Strong willed, fierce, has a really short fuse, has strong convictions, believes in doing the right thing, wants to do her country proud, is fiercly loyal, sticks up for her friends, can be a little overbearing at times.

Dagnir - an elf from Mirkwood. Tall, brown eyes, long blonde hair. Can't shoot a bow to save his life but makes the best healing potions around. In the army, decorated by Thranduil for helping fellow soldiers, friend of Legolas, ambitious, wants to become very powerful, nice, but hates rhetorical and stupid questions, doesn't tolerate stupid or senseless people.

Hanna Boffin - a hobbit from the Shire. Short (even for a hobbit), blue eyes, short brown curly hair and unusually un-hairy feet. Is always happy, loves eating the 'magic mushrooms', has a nack for getting into trouble. Merry and pippin are her kindred spirits, not the smartest arrow in the quiver but she persists and tries to figure things out, not dumb in the blonde kind of way, short and sweet and friendly and happy.

Dimnovion - a man from Gondor. Stephy's love interest. Mwahahahaha. Long (for a man) brown hair. Tall, brown eyes. Enjoys playing with the animals, can sometimes talk to them, but often forgets to wash his hair. Quiet but forceful, prefers to spend his time helping the animals and caring for them than hanging out with humans, a little insecure around a large group of people, the girls think he's sweet, rather than he's hot.

Cinalen - an elf from Rivendell. Long Blonde hair, tall, brown eyes. Is renowned for his archery skills, the best in the land, rival of Legolas in archery class but can't speak or write a word of elvish. Got a fierce competitive streak, loves to be the best, rivalry with legolas, not a bastard, not stupid, girls think he's a great athlete, girls love him, quite popular, hides the fact that he doesn't know elvish.

Primrose Willow - a hobbit from Buckleberry. Has very light brown curly hair. Is an excellent cook, can make pavlova out of rats tails, but always seems to have trouble controlling the fire the cooks on. If she knows the answer she'll put her hand up, she's polite, a shoulder for people to cry on, a confidante. Everyone knows who she is and knows that she can be counted on, responsible, but has a wild side waiting to come out.

Eanier - an man from Rohan. Medium height, longish dirty blonde hair. Is an excellent horse rider and swordsman. Does not actually go to MEA, owns a small cottage just outside school property. Is not part of the story yet, but will appear in the future. Poor, works for the school, feeding the horses and looking after the gardens. Nice, adventurous, is a sucker for beautiful girls.
