The boy rubbed his hands together, thinking of how much power this had the potential to give him. He knew that if Keladry had any sort of "relations" with any of the boys, both she and him would be expelled from the program. He would get all he could out of this, and make both Keladry and Nealan pay.
Neal ran out of the classroom, with Kel right behind him. He heard a door close down the hall. It must have been a squire. The search would be hopeless, so he pushed Kel into the classroom and shut the door.
"You know that someone saw us, right? We are in such big trouble! We have to find out who.."
Kel silenced him by putting her hand over his mouth. "It will do no good to panic about it. The worst thing that could happen is that they would tell the Stump. At best, he will just forget about it and not mention it to anyone. All we can do now is wait. OK?"
Neal nodded, Kel's hand still over his mouth. Kel took her hand away left the room.
