Kel sat staring at the note lying on her desk in dibelief. Lalasa had found it under the door thiss morning. The handwriting was familiar, but Kel couldn't quite place it. Knocking at the door snapped Kel out of her daze. She went to open it. In front of her stood Neal.
" 'lo Kel. Are you gonna study with us tonight?"
" I've got a lot to do Neal, so I hadn't planned on it." That was half the truth. Kel DID have a lot of studying to do, but she also didn't want to face all the boys when she felt this way.
" Oh. Pity. Well, we'll be in the Library if you change you're mind." There was a pleading tone in his voice that Kel had never heard before. It scared her. More and more often her friends seemed to be giving her looks that seemed to hold that pleading. It was as though she were froma different planet or something. Still wondering about that, Kel shut the door, and went back to her desk to ponder some more.

Neal sat down at the table already occupied by Faleron, Cleon, Own, and Merric; worrying about Kel. Over the past few weeks, she seemd distant, like she was hiding something from them all. She almost never came to study with the group either. It didn't help that the knights were choosing their squires soon.
I HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT! Neal promised himself. AND I WILL TOO.

Kel passed his room, and wondered if she could work up the courage to tell Neal that she liked him. I TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD TO TELL HIS CRUSHES, I SHOULD PROBABLY LISTEN TO MYSELF. She entered her room, still puzzled over what to do. She changed into her nightdress, and climbed into bed. She fell asleep, thinking about what she shoould do.
