Everything Neal wanted to say was spilling out in his mind, playing perfectly ovr and over again.* It's not like she would pick me over Roald or Cleon though. Roald is the crown prince, and Cleon is, well, CLEON.*
He started to say something when Kel jumped up and ran from the room. * what did I say? His heart told him to go after her. His pride told him to let her come to him. And his intelligence, his intelligence told him to get Roald and Cleon, and have a nice chat.
Neal walked slowly to the library, nearly turning back 4 or 5 times. He stood in front of the library doors for what seemd a millenia, but was really only about a minute. When he felt bold enough he walked up to Cleon and whispered " Get Roald- meet in my room in 5 min. Don't ask questions yet."
Then he turned and went back to his room. 5 minutes later Cleon and Roald were in his room staring at Neal.
" What's going on Neal?" Roald asked timidly.
" Cleon, Roald, we all like Kel. One of us, has had the opportunity to kiss her, (*both Cleon and Neal glance at Roald who turns pink*) whereas the other two are merely friends. We need answers guys, and we need them before we turn Kel into a ping-pong ball."
" I agree." Cleon said.
"As do I" Roald told Neal.
At that, the three boys got into a long discussion about why they liked kel, and how they were going to decide who got to go out with her.
" I think we should let Kel decide." Roald spoke up, interupting Cleon .All of a sudden he looked fully interested in what Neal and Cleon had been arguing about for the past quarter hour. How to choose.
" Yes, but how?" Neal agreed. Both looked at Cleon.
" We should each tell her how we feel about her- but at different times. Roald- you go do that toniht. then tomorrow, I'll kiss her and tell her how i feel, and then It'd be Neal's turn. then, after dinner before study group, we all confront her and ask her to choose. What d'you think?"
" Sounds alright to us" Roald jumped in before Neal could protest. Roald left the room, and headed for Kel's.
" I hope you know what you're doing Cleon."
" Oh Neal, don't be such a ninny. It'll work out fine."

Kel opened her door to find Roald standing there.
" Can we talk?" He asked.
