Author: Hello again. I would like to first thank everyone that reviewed. I'm glad that you like it. I am trying to think of the different scenarios that I could go from. I'm not sure how it will end, if you have any suggestions, you can email me at jnw11@yahoo.com or put it in a review. Here's the next chapper. Hope you like.

Kel rose just before dawn. She didn't get that much sleep the night before for she was too excited for her first day as a page. She decided that she would start her day off doing a few exercises with her glaive. She did that until she heard the bell for the pages to get up.

There was a knock on her door. She opened it to reveal a palace servant that was assigned to her. They started right away by heating her bath.

After getting dressed, she heard another knock on her door. She opened it to see Neal standing there about to knock again on her head.

He caught himself just in time. "So, ready for your first day? Let's go get something to eat first."

"Sure, lead the way sponsor," Kel said then closed her room door and locked it.

They walked to the mess hall and got in line to get food. Cleon, Merric, and Merric's cousin, Faleron came and sat with Neal and Kel. Lord Wyldon led the prayer, and then let the pages eat.

"We get to be beat on again this year. What fun. I can hardly wait," Faleron said sarcastically.

"Then off to classes so your bruises can show up," Cleon added.

"And homework that is impossible to finish for the next day," Neal finished.

"Wow, when you put it that way." Kel said.

"So, already deciding to leave before you can get a taste of work?" a voice sneered behind Kel. She turned around to see Joren of Stone Mountain.

"She wasn't thinking about leaving and making you happy, Stone Mountain. She was just commenting on everything that we were talking about. Now butt out of our business and stink up some other part of the palace," Neal snapped.

"Ouch, that hurt, Queenscove. Have you been practicing? At least I'm not a 15-year-old first year page, trying to court the new girl that wants to be one of the guys. She looks like one as well, but maybe that's the kind of girl you like. See you around," Joren sneered once again then left the mess hall.

"Is it just me or is that guy a real asshole?" Faleron asked.

"It's my first real day here and I already have enemies, great," Kel thought aloud.

"He doesn't like anyone here, trust me," Cleon assured Kel.

"Come on or we'll be late to our first class," Prince Roald said coming up behind Cleon who sat opposite Kel.

They appeared in their first class, which was using a staff. Unfortunately for Kel, they told her that she was holding it wrong and had her spend all her time on her holds. In her next class, she had to pick a mount and show that she could ride a horse. She chose a mean strawberry roan gelding named Peachblossom. He was the only one left that looked as if he could last her page years.

After her disasterous morning, she was harassed slightly by Joren saying that she would never be able to keep up with the boys. Then she had to show her teachers that she could read, write and do arithmetic. She received tons of homework to be completed the next day and she could barely stay awake for her dinner. She was sore from her new horse, and running up the hill to get to her rooms for a bath before lunch. She was asked over to Neal's room for help with homework. Kel was able to finish her math and help Neal with his but she couldn't finish her reading and report. She went to bed soon before midnight and had a dreamless sleep.

Author: I know this chapper was a little shorter than the first, but never fear. I will try to update very soon. Maybe later this week or even tomorrow. Who knows. I hope you like it. I know it was kinda boring, but it will get interesting later when I turn away from the book more. Again if you want to see anything in the story, just tell me and I'll see what I can do. That's all. Please Review and thank you.
