Well this is set in present day obviously since Kel plays football in high school, and it's going to be a k/j so have reading it!
Kel looked through the busy looking city of Corus through the small back window of their family caravan. The city looked so busy and gigantic compared to the sleepy place Mindelan that Kel had used to live at.
The Mindelan family decided to move when Kel's father, Piers, had gotten a job from President Jonathan Conte to be construct a marriage for his oldest son Roald. Kel's mother, Ilane, had taught karate like fighting style from the Yamani Islands, which was just off the shore of Japan.
Kel watched as fancy cars passed by their car, and looked into the valley. All you could see of the incoming capital of Corus was buildings. As their car made a sharp turn off of the freeway, Kel's head bumped into the window. The car steadily kept going till it came to an abrupt stop in front of a serene country cottage looking house. It had four windows that were bordered with brown and a brown oak door that compensated for a lack of elegance.
Kel unbuckled her seatbelt and hopped out of the car to open the trunk where her dog Jump was in his carrier. He emitted happy barks, and his twice broken tail hit against the sides of the carrier. She opened the door to allow Jump to hop out of the car to stretch and mark his territory of his new home.
The cage next to Jump's was tweeting excitedly as a small menagerie of birds was forced to stay in a small cage. She opened the small opening and all the ten birds streamed out of the cage. She smiled happily as they also looked around their new home, but stayed in range so Kel could see them. Crown, the lead bird, stayed sitting on her shoulder watching as all the birds scurried in the air.
She ran over to the moving van that was parked in the driveway of the house and started looking for all her things. She easily hoisted boxes out of the truck, her biceps flexing with the ease of a person who worked out everyday. She grabbed a box that had written on it, Kel's Sports Equipment. She eagerly took the box down on the ground; she sat in the wet grass of the front yard and opened that box in hurry.
She found her old football uniform from her junior high and found her football cleats and pads. She found at the bottom her football helmet that had a large M on it for Mindelan Junior High. Kel scurried to find her other sports equipment, and eventually found her soccer and track and field gear.
She carefully lugged her sports things into the room she assumed was her's and found that it was rather large, but to great dislike it was pink.' I'll have to repaint it when I have time, if I have time.' She found a closet for clothes and another for storage; she stashed her gear into the storeroom so she could find it later.
She whistled with ease as she got Jump and the sparrows their food bowls. As she hopped down from the moving van, even though there was a slope she could go on. She the box on the floor and went to grab another. She picked up a particularly heavy box and conceded to go down the slope, as she almost was at the bottom she hit into something. The thing and her fell into a heap, and Kel thanked that she had only been carrying clothes that weren't breakable.
She looked behind the box to see a boy about two years older than her with shocking emerald green eyes and light brown hair that swept back from a widow's peak. He was a couple inches taller than her five foot seven and wore a wide smile.
"Hello I'm Neal Queenscove, I live right across the street and couldn't help but see a damsel in distress carrying large boxes."
"I'm Keladry Mindelan, but please call me Kel. We just moved here from Mindelan."
"Why is you last name the same as the city you are from?" Neal asked imploringly.
"My ancestors had owned Mindelan, and were like mayors of it. I guess they were so full of themselves that the wished to name the city after themselves."
"Would you like some help moving in?" Kel nodded her head in reply.
"Alright, I'll be right back. I'll go get my cousin, since he lives a street away. I'm sure he would more than happy to help a lady." Neal ran to the other side of the street and hoped into his black jaguar. He speeded away till he turned and Kel could not see him anymore.
She picked up the box of clothes and hauled it up into her room where she put the box into the closet. She walked down the hallway of the house and walked outside, she heard a screech of brakes. Kel looked towards the sound to see Neal's head pop out of the car. A handsome looking man, with sparkling sapphire eyes and raven black hair, accompanied Neal.
"Kel this is my cousin Domitan Masbolle. Dom this is Kel." Kel shook hands with the man that was over a head taller than she was.
"So are you going to Corus High School with Neal?" Dom asked curiously.
"Yes I am."
"What are you a junior? Sophomore?"
Kel blushed," Freshman." Dom's eyes widened in surprise.
"You're really tall for a freshman."
"Yes I guess so. Are you a senior?"
"I am ashamed you would think me of a lowly high schooler. I am a grown up college boy can't you tell. I go to King's Own College. It's prestigious for its football team."
"You play football?" Kel asked excitedly.
"Why are you a cheerleader and need a perfect quarterback boyfriend?" Neal asked snidely.
Kel blushed, but said angrily." No I play quarterback thank you very much. I wouldn't be caught dead being a mindless cheerleader."
"Sorry, but there is no girl's football team at Corus High."
"There wasn't one at Mindelan either, that's why I join the boy's football team."
"You do know how hard it is to make the football team right?" Neal asked. 'How dare he judge me before he even gives me a chance to prove myself. Girls are just as capable as boy are to play any sport at all.'
"I'll be right back," Kel said hotly. She grabbed a box of more clothes and dropped them off in her room. She grabbed her worn football that she had practiced for as long as she could remember. The football was extra heavy just for training, so when she threw with a regular football she was able to throw the lighter one farther.
She jogged with the football in her hands and ran outside. "Go long," she ordered Neal. He ran as far as he thought she would ever be able to throw it, which was only about ten yards.
"If that's long, your team must really be pathetic," Kel said. Neal kept running and he turned around to see a ball coming at him with a perfect spiral. He ran with outstretched hands and caught it, with almost losing his balance. He was surprised with the weight of the football, but recovered as Dom started talking animatedly to Kel.
Neal jogged back over and Kel grabbed the football from him." That was amazing Kel! I never would have thought a girl could throw that far. Where did you learn to throw like that?"
"My brothers all played football, one was about to go professional even. But he got injured and it ruined his entire throwing arm, so he can't play anymore. So are you going to help me move things or just gape like a fish out of water?"
The two seemed to come out of their stupefied state and together they heaved Kel's dresser out of the van. The three worked together and carried the dresser to Kel's room. They carefully dropped it where Kel told them to put it.
"Well if I hadn't known you better, I would have thought that you were a cheerleader. Just judging by the room color."
"Do you by chance have a dark green colored paint or blue?"
"I think I might have green." Neal replied
"I know I have blue." Dom said.
"Well that works rather well. Neal how long has school been going?"
"It has been going for a week, but you can still try out for the football team. We started training during the summer, but I bet we could make an exception for you."
"Neal do you think you could give me a ride to the school? I need to get my schedule for classes."
"Of course, but we'll have to drop off Dom."
"That's all right Meathead, I'll just jog home. I could use the exercise anyways."
"What ever you say Cousin Domitan," Neal turned around to face Kel," would my lady like to leave in her carriage right now?" he asked bowing to Kel.
"That would be much appreciated, good sir." Kel replied making a wobbly curtsy. "See you later Dom, and thanks for all your help."
"No problem if there is ever a damsel in distress I'll be there. If there is ever a cat stuck in a tree, I'll be there. If there is ever a lady who needs a kiss, I will most certainly be there." Dom said smiling, while raising his hand like he was saying a pledge.
"Lets go Kel before the administrative building closes." Kel and Neal jogged out to Neal's black jaguar. Neal pulled his keys out and started the engine. The engine sprang to life and the car roared away from Kel's home.
"How can you afford a car like this?" Kel asked over the music on the radio.
"My father is the country's surgeon general. He gets paid fairly well."
"You're Baird Queenscove's son?" Kel asked flabbergasted.
"Yup that's me, but don't let it affect the ay you act around me please."
"Why are you living at the country part of Corus, when you could probably just live with the President?"
"My father likes to be away from the busy bustling of the main headquarters of politics, he also wanted me to lead an ordinary child hood. He didn't want me to grow up spoiled." The car came to a halt in front of a large stone castle like building.
"This is a school?" Kel said in awe.
"Yup, come on we're going to have to run to the administrative building to get there." They both ran to the building, Kel following behind Neal, since she had no idea where she was going.
They reached a building that said administrative on the outside and walked through the door. "Hello Mrs. Isran. My friend just moved here and she needs to meet with her counselor to get a schedule." Neal stated politely.
"You're in luck Neal, the girl's counselor is the only one that is still here. Go behind the swinging doors and he's in the first door to the right."
"Thank you." Neal opened the swinging doors and held them open for Kel. They faced a door that read Timon Greendale.
Kel knocked nervously on the door and it was opened to a man that looked experienced with nervous students. "Hello my name is Mr. Greendale. Come sit down." He said gesturing to the chair in front of his desk.
"Thank you Mr. Greendale." Kel said suddenly becoming very shy in front of the adult that she didn't know.
"Nealan you can wait outside for your friend." As Neal begrudgingly left Kel alone with the man he said," So Keladry your family just moved here from Mindelan?"
"Yes sir."
"And you came to get you schedule?"
"Yes sir."
"Lets see," he muttered as he typed away on his keyboard. "You will need a history, common, science, elective, math, and physical education. Judging from your math test scores, you can be put into Algebra Two. It very high for a freshman, but nonetheless it appears that you could take it.
"So Algebra Two will be your first class with Mr. Ivor, then you will take Honors World History for your second class with Mr. Olau. After History will be your Common class with Mr. Yayin. You will have lunch for a half an hour and start will take an elective. What elective would you like? We have band, ceramics--"
"I'll take ceramics, sir."
"Very well. Next after ceramics is your science, and all the chemistry classes are taken so you will be in Biology. Finally your physical education will be last. You can have the assortment one where you do every sport, or you can have a specific sport. Like soccer, or basketball."
"Do you have a football as a sport for physical education?"
"Yes we do have cheerleading-"
"No I mean football. I wan to play football."
"Well-uh- you would be the only girl..."
"That doesn't matter, I'll have football physical education."
"Alright..." the schedule was printed out and Mr. Greendale handed it to her.
"Thank you sir." She grabbed the schedule and left. As she opened the door Neal fell down as the door opened.
"Neal I would think you would have laid against a different door, not one that could have opened any minute." Neal gave her a goofy smile and they walked back to the car together. The streetlights had just come in as they hopped onto the leather seats on the car and the engine roared to life again.
"So what classes did you get?"
"I have algebra Two, world history, Common, ceramics, biology, and football."
"Algebra Two? That's great we're in the same class. I have never been good at math," he skimmed down Kel's schedule." We have ceramics, biology, and football together."
"Really? I'm so glad I will know someone." The car came to a stop and they both stepped out of the car. Neal walked Kel to the wood door of her new home.
"Would you like to have rides to school?" Neal asked.
"That would be great if you could, my mother and father will be busy for the next couple of weeks. They'll still be moving everything in and getting situated. Can you pick me up at seven?"
Neal took his hand and lifted Kel's chin and looked into her dazzling hazel eyes. The light reflected off her eyes from the street lamps. He looked into the dreamer eyes that made you want to drown in them. Time seemed to stop in front of the doorway of the new Mindelan house. And Neal said, "It's a date." Neal smiled and walked across the street to his house. (haha you thought he was going to kiss her didn't you??? Sorry but this not a k/n it's a k/j!)
((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))((()))
Okay I know Neal would not be in high school at the same time as Kel, but who would be there to support her? So therefore Neal is a sophomore and Joren is a sophomore too.
