Kel jogged up the huge hill panting. Where was he? He was supposed to have met her right here at this very moment.

When she was about to turn around and head back to her room to finish unpacking she saw a figure come up the hill.

"Nealan of Queenscove you are so dead!" she yelled at the figure.

"Keladry of Mindelan please excuse me for trying to round up a few of our friends," he called back and stepped aside to reveal Owen, Merric, Faleron, Prince Roald, and Cleon (AN sorry if I forgot nebody).

"You're not forgiven, but oh- it's all of you! And you've grown!" Kel ran over to her friends hugging them each in turn. When she got to Neal, though, she hesitated. In the past years, she'd come to like him-maybe more than a friend. He hugged her first and she started to feel all warm.

Finally they broke loose.

Wow, Kel, you've grown," Faleron commented with a look of awe.

"Yeah, you have, " Cleon observed.

"In more ways than one," Prince Roald added.

"You shut up. All of you!" Neal defended, " You shouldn't look at her like that!"

"Neal, shut up. We know you look at her that way," Cleon retorted.

"True, I know. I had a jolly good time reading your diary," Owen taunted.

Kel left, feeling very uncomfortable. As she left one of the members of her group followed........

87^ 87^ 87^ 87^87^
Kel walked through the gardens looking at all of the beautiful flowers that surrounded her. Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm. She was about to punch them in the groin, when her attacker whispered in her ear " It's ok, Kel."

The voice sounded familiar, but who was it? The voice put a piece of paper in her hand. "Now don't follow me." He walked away, and Kel had to fight a huge urge to turn and run after the person. There was something about his voice that made her want to kiss him. But that was absurd, she'd never been kissed before, so how would she know whether or not she wanted to kiss somebody.

Puzzling over this issue, she walked to see if the guys were still fighting.

"You ass! How could you say that in front of her? You just hurt his pride even more!" she heard Merric yell. Nope they weren't done.

"Yeah Owen, did you see his face as he walked to his room?" Cleon criticized.

So Neal did like her. She decided to walk to his room and pay him a visit.
