Wow. I can't believe a whole bunch of people liked it. I thought it would be a dud. This chapter will be better. At least I think it will be. And just so you know, thanks to a reviewer, the health class is for fourth year and third year pages. And Kel and Neal are in their fourth year. So that makes Kel…14? And Neal how old? I will try to make this a Kel/Neal fic, but I have never tried it before.


Kel, and the others were working on their math homework when Kel suddenly spoke up.

"Um…Guys?" She asked. All of them made grunting noises in reply. "Well, shouldn't we at least start to work on our health class diagram since we have that calss tomorrow?" Still, none of them said anything; they just made more grunting noises except these were more forceful. Kel sighed. Men. You can never reason with them. She thought.

"Guys, Kel is right." Merric said after five minutes of silence. "I mean if we don't do this, think of what he'll make us do as punishment…" This woke the boys up. They hurriedly put away their math, and pulled out fresh sheets of parchment. Kel sighed and followed, just a beat behind. They started working on their diagrams. Kel was having serious trouble. She was struggling with herself because she was sitting in a room full of males, while trying to draw parts that she had never seen before. Unless you count her nephews that weren't potty trained. She was trying to rely on that memory which, she had last seen over three years ago, when she looked over at all the other's papers. Theirs were much better than hers, and some were almost done. Compared to hers, they wore works of art. The reason theirs are so much better than mine is because they've seen it every day and know what it looks like!" Kel thought.

"Well, I'm getting tired, so I'm going to turn in," Kel said with a fake yawn. She gathered up her things and left with a hasty goodbye. She thought maybe Lalasa could help her with her project. But she was wrong.

"Milady!" Lalasa cried. "I haven't seen it anymore than you have!"

"But surely you have taken a health class before?" Kel replied with hope in her voice.

"No, milady, I am but a poor common girl, the only health class I had was a talk with my mother when I got my monthlies." Kel groaned.

"Now I'll never get it done!" Kel cried in exasperation.

"Well, you could always go ask master Nealan for help," Lalasa said with a wicked gleam in her eye. Kel wondered how much she knew or guessed about her feelings towards Neal.

"I suppose you are right." Kel mumbled and headed out the door, unaware that there was only five minutes left until lights out.

Kel arrived at Neal's room, hesitated, and then knocked. She heard a thump and some unintelligible grumbling coming from inside Neal's room. Then the door opened to reveal a tousled Neal wearing only a loincloth. Kel blushed pink at the sight of him like this and hurriedly put it behind her Yammani mask. But she couldn't help to think how good his body looked…NO! BAD Kel!

"And what business might you have waking me up in the middle of the night, milady?" Neal asked, his speech slurred from sleep.

"Well…Um…Ineedhelp," Kel mumbled in a rush.

"Huh?" Neal asked, one eyebrow cocked, fully awake now.

Kel took a deep breath.

"I need help with this," Kel repeated, thrusting the piece of paper that held a half of something drawn on it. Neal took the paper and looked at it. Then a smile appeared on his face. "And besides, it isn't even past lights out anyways."

"Why of course gently lady," Neal replied with one of his wicked smiles. He drew her into his room and closed the door. When Kel protested, Neal shushed her. "We won't get this done before lights out, and we don't want to get caught do we?" Kel sighed. Again. "So… you need help on our health assignment it looks like?" Neal asked after he had put a pair of breeches on. Kel just nodded, barely concealing her blush. Neal drew another chair over to his desk and motioned for her to sit. She sat. "So what? You have never seen a man naked before? Is that why you're having trouble?" Neal asked as soon as she was settled. Kel nodded miserably. "I mean, I know a way I could help you, but I don't think you'd like it." Neal remarked. Kel's eyes went wide. "But don't worry, I have another idea!" He added hastily. "I will help you verbally."

For about an hour, Kel and Neal worked on Kel's health assignment. Kel doing most of the work and Neal occasionally correcting.

"Neal, what does that part look like again?" Kel asked, pointing to an area on the paper.

"Hold on, I'll go check," He replied getting up. A sudden thought struck Kel. But to her intense relief, Neal had gone and gotten his paper. Between him and his paper, Kel's was done in no time. Kel stood up and gathered her paper. Neal walked her to the door. Kel turned around to face him.

"Thanks," she replied with a smile.

"You are welcome," he replied also with a smile. But this time it wasn't his normal wicked smile; it was a smile of friendship and caring. Neal respected her and cared about her. And it touched her. Their eyes caught and held. Neither of them moved. It was Kel who finally broke out of her revere.

"Well, I guess I better go," Kel said awkwardly. Neal nodded and checked to see if the coast was clear before letting her out. She waved goodbye and strolled down the hall towards her room. She didn't hear the whispered "Goodnight Kel."


Whew! This chappie for sure has more of Kel's reactions in it then the last one. Love it? Hate it? Please tell me. Sorry about the shortness. I think that this is as long as most of the chapters are going to be. Some may be longer. I dunno.
