Field Day by Katy Did

The Puzzle

- Sang -

Kayli and I went to the restrooms in the small brick building behind the bleachers. Dr. Roberts had told us, the first time he brought the two of us here a month ago, that this property was owned by the Academy. They used it on a regular basis for activities and training.

I was washing my hands when Kayli came out of a stall and started washing hers. We were alone. I concentrated on rinsing.

"Kayli... I need to tell someone something, and it can't be any of the boys yet."

She grabbed a paper towel and turned to me while drying her hands. "Well that's an attention getting intro. What is it?"

I turned off the faucet, and Kayli handed me some towels.

"Silas and I kissed. Well, I kissed him first and he kind of took over..."

Her eyes went wide, and she smiled. "When? Where? I can't you believe you just had your first kiss right under all our noses!"

"After he won his competition. Behind a tree."

She became serious. "How was it?"

I broke into a smile. "Wonderful. Better than I ever imagined."

A distant look came over her face. "I remember my first kiss. It sucked."

I burst out into laughter and covered my mouth. "I'm sorry, that's awful."

"It's okay." She wiggled her eyebrows. "I've had many toe curling ones since then."

She put her hands on my shoulders facing me. "And now you feel confused and don't know what to do because Silas isn't the only one you have feelings for. Right?"

"Right."

"I'm not going to tell you what to do Sang. But like I said before, you have to follow where your heart leads."

"Sorry, Kayli, but that doesn't help me at all."

"Remember, your heart isn't the only one involved. Maybe you should share this burden with them. You can't keep it bottled in. It wouldn't be fair to anyone including you."

I nodded. "I know... I kind of decided earlier I would tell them soon." I sighed, "I just get so nervous thinking about it I feel sick."

"Well for goodness sake, don't think about it right now then!"

I couldn't help it, I laughed. I felt better having told someone.

"I just have one important question."

"Okay."

"Are you ready to kick butt later?"

I grinned. "You bet."

I was leaning up against the brick wall with my arms crossed waiting for Princess and Kayli to come out. Kota and I were up next. It was a partner challenge. I wasn't nervous about it. All I had to do was follow Kota's instructions and we would win. Kota was smart, he would have it figured out quickly.

I could hear them laughing as they opened the door. It made me smile. I was glad Sang had found a friend in Kayli. Someone she could talk to about girl stuff besides Gabe.

"Hey, Piano Man," Kayli greeted when they saw me.

I just grinned. She and Axel's team came to one of my concerts a while back. Shocked the s*** out of me, but I appreciated it. I enjoyed playing for people I liked.

I'd been working on a piece just for Sang. It was soft and sweet and beautiful just like her. I couldn't wait to have it finished and play it for her in private. I loved her so much and since I couldn't tell her with words, I'd do with music.
