"Kel! Wait!" I shouted as she dashed down the hall. "Ow!" I yelled as I fell to the ground, scattering my books everywhere. Kel spun around as I fell. I grabbed my ankle wincing in pain. "Neal! Are you okay?" She kneeled on the ground next to me. I probed my ankle with my gift healing it as I did. "It's not broken. Just sprained a little." "Good." She leaned forward, and kissed me. I jumped (well, not really jumped more like scooted back six inches). "What the %&$@ did you do that for, Kel?!" "I-I thought…you…" She broke off and ran down the hall back the way we came. "Kel! Come back!" No use.
I crawled around the floor trying to gather up all my books. When I did I stood up and put a little weight on my foot. I hobbled down the hall to my class thinking about Kel. I WAS in love with Kel but she had surprised me! Not fair!
Later that same night I lay in bed images of Kel floating through my head. I rolled over and tried to sleep. After what seemed like years I stood up. This wasn't working. I stood up and opened the window; I easily slipped out into the gardens.
~I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind,~
~I left my body laying somewhere in the sands of time,~
~I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,~
~I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah~
I lay down on a spot of soft grass and stared at the moonless sky. It was as if someone had put a black, velvet drape over the world. My eyelids began to feel heavy as I lay there in the perfumed garden. I soon fell asleep under that giant drape.
~I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,~
~After all I knew it had to be something to do with you,~
I dreamed. I saw Kel, run down the hall, I saw her kiss me. I saw her as she ran down the hall, holding back tears. Then I was out of my body and beside Kel. She ran into her room and flung herself onto her bed. She let the tears run freely down her cheeks as she hit a pillow. Each time she hit the pillow I saw her tear-streaked face. "But Cleon told me he loved me!" she sobbed. My dream slowly faded, until it was just a dark violet void around me. "Tell her." Said a vaguely familiar woman's voice. I saw a glimpse of red hair then I was pulled out of my dream.
I heard the snap of a twig behind me and sat up. Someone was standing there, and it looked like Kel. "Kel?" I said. "Neal? Oh Neal, I should never have-" I interrupted her saying, "No Kel, I'm sorry. I should have told you… I love you Kel."
~I really don't mind what happens now and then,~
~As long as you'll be my friend at the end~
We lay there, in each other's arms, watching the start of a new day. She leaned her head on my chest as I leaned up against a decorative statue.
~If I go crazy then will you still~
~Call me Superman~
~If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand~
~I'll keep you by my side with my superman might~
~Kryptonite~
We eventually went back to our rooms, but not before kissing each other a passionate goodbye.
Later, during training Lord Wyldon, decided to have us all run the wall five times in the heat. A few people (especially Cleon) complained loudly so it was changed to seven laps. Wonderful.
~You called me strong; you called me weak,~
~But still your secrets I will keep,~
~You took for granted all the times I never let you down~
~You stumbled in and bumped your head,~
~Not for me then you would be dead,~
~I picked you up and put you back on solid ground,~
We were on our fourth lap when Kel tripped over her sword. She tried to roll be she got tangled in her sword, and went side ways. "Kel!!" I yelled. Her legs went over first and so did most of her upper body. She stopped falling only because one of her hands had managed to grab onto part of the wall. I ran over to the edge and grabbed onto her arm. "Neal! Help!" She yelled.
~If I go crazy then will you still~
~Call me Superman~
~If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand~
~I'll keep you by my side with my superman might~
~Kryptonite... Yeah!!~
Somehow I managed to pull her back onto the wall. I helped her stand up and wrapped my arms around her waist. We kissed. Right there, in front of everyone. People were just coming out of the shock of seeing Kel fall. A few of them rushed over to us.
~If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman~
~If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand~
~I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might,~
~Kryptonite~
I wonder what Lord Wyldon will say.
