Chapter 2

Just down the hall, from Keith and Kate's room, Kellyn laid on his bed, awake. He didn't sleep at all. He looked over at the bed, on the other side of the room. Crystal was sleeping soundly, undisturbed. 'She looks so cute.' thought Kellyn. He realized what he said, to himself, and face palmed himself. He decided that, since he was awake, he would get ready for the day. He got up and walked to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and dressed into his uniform. Crystal's uniform was neatly folded on a shelf. She obviously planned to take a shower this morning, too. He then saw a small note stuck to the mirror. 'You better change into normal clothes. We have the day off and you're not getting rid of me. I've planned the whole day. So once you're out of the bathroom, we're heading out for our special day, birthday boy. -Crystal' that was what was written on the note. Kellyn smiled and threw the note in the garbage. He changed. He placed his hair and walked out of the bathroom. When he opened the door, he saw Crystal awake, dressed and ready to go. "How long have you been awake?" asked Kellyn, rolling his eyes, smiling.

"A little bit before you got up." replied Crystal, knowing her plan had worked.

"I would have seen you prepare that." said Kellyn, walking closer to her.

She just smiled at him and responded, "I know."

He face palmed himself and added, "Unless, you prepared it last night, before we went to bed."

Crystal laughed, as her incredible plan had worked. 'I finally was able to surprise him. The guy is really hard to surprise.' laughed mentally Crystal. "You got me. So what are we doing?" said Kellyn, getting really close to her.

Crystal blushed, at how close he was to her. She took a step back, tried to hide her blush and responded, "Well, I got a picnic ready for breakfast. Then, we could go to the little festival that is happening in Altru Park."

Crystal was pointing towards a basket. Kellyn smiled and grabbed the basket. "What are we waiting for? We have a beautiful day ahead of us, don't we?" exclaimed Kellyn, grabbing Crystal's hand.

He pulled her out the room and down the hall. Crystal was blushing madly. He pulled her down the corridors of the Union, until the first floor. He slowed his steps, once they stepped outside. A fresh breeze blew on their faces. A smile slowly creeped on Crystal's lips. Crystal looked down at their locked hands. She tried to slip her hand out of his, but he closed his grip around it. He looked over to Crystal and smiled. She turned her head away, blushing even more. She sighed and pulled slowly Kellyn. She knew when Kellyn decided something, she couldn't make him change his mind, even if it was holding her hand. 'It's his birthday.' thought Crystal, looking at Kellyn.

He smiled at her and squeezed her hand more. 'And I don't mind it either. As long as no one sees us.' giggled mentally Crystal, taking the basket out of Kellyn's hands. They continued walking towards the river flowing not far from the Union.

Carl yawned and stretched his body. He slipped his legs over the side of the bed and stretched out his arms. "Nothing's better than a good night sleep." yawned Carl, getting up to his feet.

He heard shuffling to his left. He looked over and saw Mya, still asleep, in a weird position. Her left arm and leg were hanging over the side of the bed. Her head was covered with a blanket and her right arm was under her body. Carl shook his head and headed for the bathroom. "She's going to fall." whispered Carl, smiling as he closed the bathroom door.

He had barely closed the door, that he heard a thud coming from the room. He opened a crack in the door and looked. Mya was laying on the floor, still sleeping and in a more normal position. Legs and arms stretched out and her face in the open air. Carl laughed and closed the door once more. He took his time, in the shower. Once he opened the door of the bathroom again, Mya was still sleeping on the floor, in the same position. He went over to Mya's head. He passed his fingers through his, still wet, hair and letted the water drip off of his fingers, onto Mya's face. Once the first droplet hit her face, she sat up in a sitting position, so fast that it gave her a headache. "What the f**k?!" exclaimed Mya, wiping the water off her face.

"You were sleeping on the floor again." replied Carl, drying up his hair, "Can't you sleep like normal people and stay on your bed?"

She stuck her tongue out at him. She grabbed her stuff and went to the bathroom. She quickly came back out, completely dressed. "So, what's with the early wake up call?" asked Mya, sitting on her bed, yawning.

"Nothing, really. I didn't want you to freak out when you would wake up. You being on the floor and me gone." explained Carl, taking a peak in her direction, "I wouldn't want you to do like last time."

Mya's face turned red. She remembered that she was freaking out and scared. She had made a nightmare and woke up on the floor. She had made a fuse over the leaving and leaving her alone. She never passed over it. Mya shook the memory away and said, "So, what are we doing?"

"Until it's at least eight, we do nothing." replied Carl, sitting beside her.

He leaned over and deposit a soft kiss on her lips. "Or we could just cuddle here until ten." added Carl, with a deep, attractive voice.

Mya giggled and leaned on the wall. She smiled softly. Carl letted himself fall on the bed. Once he landed on the bed, the shock made Mya fall on him. She smiled at him. She kissed him and he pulled her into a tight embrace. "Let's stay here and let time pass." whispered Mya, her lips pressed against his.

"Naughty Mya." chuckled Carl, kissing her again.
