Kel walked down the hall laughing the whole way to the practice courts.
People stared at the young lady laughing to herself. All day as Kel
practiced she thought of what she was going to say to Cleon at the ball. *I
know I shouldn't have acted so cold to him but I had to. He'll forgive me,
won't he?*Kel asked herself . As the day went by Kel got more and more
excited. *I can't wait till Cleon sees me. * Kel put down her lance and
walked Peachblossom back to the stables where she brushed him down, it was
about time she got ready.
Cleon sat beside his desk. *She acted so.....* Cleon sat there for the next hour trying to come up with a word for Kel's attidude. A knock broke through his thoughts. "Cleon, could you help me pick out what to wear for the ball tonight" Neal asked. Cleon got up and followed Neal back to his room. He had already picked out what he was going to wear so all he had to do was wash up before joining up with Neal to go to the ballroom. *well maybe she'll act differently at the ball.* Cleon thought to himself hopefully. *Just forget her she didn't seem happy to see you today what makes you think she'll be thrilled to see you tonight?* Cleon banished the negative thoughts from head as he walked down the hall with Neal. While Neal was busy talking about the new court ladies that would be attending Cleon thought about them aswell. Since Kel wasn't too happy seeing him why doesn't he try to find someone else at the ball. Cleon tried fighting these negative thoughts but they kept coming back again. Neal turned to face Cleon. "Are you listening to a word I said?" He glared at Cleon. "Frankly?" Cleon asked."No! All you think about are girls. Aren't your parents ever going to bethroth(sry cant spell) you?" Neal's glare turned into a surprised yet thoughtful look. "I don't know. Hmm..." Cleon knew that, that would shut him up, well for awhile anyway.
After another hour of hearing Neal babble on and on about looking sharp it was time for Cleon to get ready for the ball himself. He bid Neal goodbye and promised to meet up with him at the front doors that lead to the ballroom. Cleon strolled down towards his room contemplating what'd he'd do about Kel. *I'll figure it out later.* Cleon sighed and opened the door to the washroom. *A nice hot bath should help me relax.*
