Man I am SO tired! ::yawns:: School got out at 11:00 today, but I didn't
get out until 6:00 cause I had to sell yearbooks to parents. (Parent
teacher conferences. blek!) Stupid journalism class. Ok, here we go.

Chapter 5:
It seemed to Kel that Sir Grant was everywhere. She saw him in the library, the gardens, at court functions, the practice courts, and constantly passed him in the hall. She always tried to avoid him, but it was as if she couldn't stop their regular, yet short meetings.
Another thing that she couldn't seem to help was the jumpy feeling that she felt every time she saw him, although she denied the fact even to herself. He would give her a charming smile, he would always nod his head to her out of respect, and he would almost always tell her hello.
Then one-day Kel's defenses collapsed. It seemed that it would be a normal, quick hello as normal, but then Grant did something Kel hadn't expected. As they passed one another in the hall, instead of simply saying hello and continuing on his way, Grant changed his directions to walk with Kel. So surprised was she at this forward advancement that Kel didn't stop him.
Next thing Kel knew they were out in the stables saddling their horses. Grant was witty as well as out-going, and Kel forgot all about her promise to herself to stay away from him.
