Author: I am extremely sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I have makeup work and family problems. And we got a boat. I don't understand it, but oh well. I also get to see old friends this Friday. Yay. Anyways, here's more of the story. I also apologize for saying that Neal had red hair. My mistake and I thank everyone that reviewed. I'm glad that you like it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kel woke up the next day covered in bruises. She groaned as she rolled out of bed and attempted to do some exercises before she had to get ready. She was very clumsy and tired from her first day still.
Her servant came in after the bell rang and heated water for her bath. Kel was thankful for the warm water that soothed her tired and sore muscles.
She quickly got dressed and walked out into the hall straight into the beautiful blonde, Joren.
"Watch where you're going," Joren spat. He pushed Kel away from him and glared at her.
"I wouldn't have to if you wouldn't walk so close to the doors," Kel retorted standing up and dusting herself off.
"You think you're better than others because you're the first girl to become a page officially. I have news for you, they let you in because you look so much like a boy that no one would really be able to tell the difference." Joren turned and walked toward the mess hall.
"Asshole," Kel said under her breath as Neal walked up to her.
"Have a nice chat with Joren?" Neal asked sarcastically.
"Let's just go eat," Kel said walking down the hallway.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, ready for your second day in hell?" Cleon asked the first year pages smiling.
"Cleon, are you trying to scary the poor children?" Neal teased while tousling Kel's hair.
"Get off me, Neal," Kel said as she pushed him away.
"Well, well. Can't find girls your own age so you go after the young ones?" a cold voice asked. "Or are you trying to get more? I bet she already slept with everyone at this table."
"You fucking asshole. Why don't you get some friends of your own and stay with them? Or why don't you just die? You can solve everyone's problems that way," Neal said face turning red.
"Standing up for your little girlfriend that just came here to find a husband?" Joren sneered.
"You take that back bastard or I'll." Cleon stood up and stared Joren in the face.
"You'll do what?" Joren laughed.
"Just watch your back because Lord Wyldon can't be everywhere you know," Faleron said quickly knowing Cleon lost his temper and was about to do something stupid.
Joren just turned and walked away and out of the mess hall.
"Well, we better not worry about him right now. We have to hurry and get to the practice courts for class," Merric, a first year, said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Come on you guys," Kel said getting up from the table.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
They were paired into lines to practice with staffs again. Kel was able to practice this time as she showed the teacher that she could hold a staff correctly.
"Okay, Mindelan. You will be paired with Stone Mountain today. You will do basic strikes and blocks. Now get in line," the teacher said. (I don't remember who it is so if someone knows can you say so in a review thanx)
"Get ready to work Mindelan," Joren said coldly as he swung the staff to strike.
"Why must you insist on being an asshole?" Kel asked blocking his strike easily.
"I'm just being myself," Joren sneered putting more force with his next strike.
"Why must you insist on getting rid of me?" Kel asked barely able to block his strike.
"You don't belong here. You belong with the rest of the noble girls at the convent getting trained on how to obey your husband if you ever get one," Joren said pushing Kel out of line formation.
"Get back in line Mindelan!" Lord Wyldon, who was watching the pages practice, yelled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
After they were done with staffs, horseback riding and learning to fall some more, they were sent to the baths and then go to lunch.
Kel ran to her rooms to take a bath in her room. She was again sore and received more bruises than the previous day. After her bath, she walked to the mess hall and found Neal and the rest of the group.
"I hate him," Neal said looking in Joren's direction.
"Hate is such a strong word. I'd say dislike very much," Kel said.
"I think hate works in this case," Cleon added.
"Let's not dwell on this whilst we eat, we may loose our lunch," Roald said ending the conversation.
"Great, I just remembered that I forgot to finish my homework." Kel looked at her homework that was unfinished.
"Be ready for more work since you didn't finish that. I never finish my homework," Faleron smiled.
"Speaking of classes, we should get going soon," Cleon said.
They all got up and started heading toward their first class.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kel received more homework for not completing her homework in the first place. The monk was droning on about something really boring when a servant came in the classroom.
"I have been sent to fetch Keladry of Mindelan," the servant stated.
Kel got out of her seat. Everyone was staring at her as she started for the door.
"Guess they finally realized that you don't belong here Mindelan. I wish I could be there to see your face when they tell you," Joren smirked.
Kel ignored his comment and walked out following the servant.
"Where are we going?" Kel asked after they walked a little way.
"To the King's study milady. The King requested to see you right away," the servant said in a low voice.
*'Why would the king want to see me?'* Kel thought. She wondered if what Joren said was true. *'What if the king wanted to tell me that I have to go home?'*
They stopped in front of big wooden doors. The servant bowed and left Kel standing in front of the doors. She knocked and soon heard "Come in, please." It was a male voice, which she assumed was the King.
She opened the door and slipped in the room to see the King sitting at his desk.
