New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 62

Kyle found the test quite interesting.
[Are you really going to be doing the test properly, brother?]
Kyle sat there in class, staring at the paper and smiled.
[Of course. Dobbins is out, and we need a good foundation for the future. You should, too, since you're still not sure what you're going to do after this. Perhaps Godric will help you in that regards.]
They had all agreed after the assembly that to do their best for the test but Kay was wondering whether Kyle was really serious or planning something else.
[Okay] Kay agreed and proceeded to answer quickly.
The paper was divided into five parts. The first part had basic questions on the subjects that they took. The second part had questions based on general knowledge. The third part had questions on how they studied and what were the problems they faced in studying. It also asked them what were their hobbies and favourite things to do in their pastime.
It was the last two parts that Kyle found most interesting. One appeared to be simple scenario based questions and what would you do in those situations. You know, like if your mother and significant other was drowning, who would you save first? That sort of thing. It was obviously a psychological type question to determine your state of mind and depth of thought.
The last part had 30 questions that were rather tricky and seemingly not make sense.
For example:
1. What letter should appear next in this sequence: L K J H?
2. Which four letter word can be attached to the beginning of the following words to form five longer words? "Age - Width - It - Stand - Wagon"
3. Replace the blanks in this sentence with two three letter words. The same three letters must be used for both words. What are they? "The woman decided to _______ a well-known firm of solicitors to _____ for compensation"
There were even diagram type questions.
Kyle's lips went up in a slight smirk. He suspected that these questions were to test their IQ. 'Let's just see what are his plans,' Kyle mused to himself as he answered them easily.
After the tests that the students took, the teachers had to take theirs as well. Kyle had no idea what were the contents of the paper, but from the look of concentration on the teacher's faces as they did it made Kyle laugh a bit inside. The students didn't have any classes and were supposed to take a break before the club activities, but Kyle couldn't help but sneak in and take a peek at the teachers doing their tests.

Kyle and Ali were both crouching and giggling as they peered through the small opening of the door. Xing Han was at the dorms after walking Kay back while Sam was at the library. She also told Kyle that she would not be going for her club activities as she wanted to do some more digging on Godric. After Dobbins, she said that she wanted to make sure that there were no stones unturned.
In reality, however, Kay was going to meet up with Jason. Jason had texted her after the test and asked her if she was free later. After a slight hesitation, she agreed but warned him that she needed to sneak out first. They arranged to meet up at the Blues Corner. It was out of the way, but not that secluded. Kay didn't want a crowd in case word got back to Kyle, but she didn't want a place that was devoid of people either.
Sarah was sitting at the field, 'drawing' when in actual fact she was keeping an eye out at the entrance of Cherry Wing. She knew Kyle was there and she needed to make sure when he came out so that she could warn Kay. Her phone was right by her side, with Kay's number on speed dial.
Meanwhile, Kay disguised herself in her room before heading out. She took a brunette wig that was in a short bob cut and put it on. She then wore a face mask and hazel eyes contacts. Taking out her bag under the bed, she took out some clothes that she had never worn before and put it on top of her current clothes.
Kay was dressed in a simple white blouse and blue jeans but had taken out an oversized black jersey with laces and a flowered flared skirt that reached up to her ankles. She folded the tip of her jeans up so that it was hidden under the skirt. Though she was sure that none of the Elite Five remembered what sort of clothes she actually has, she was sure that they had an inkling of what she does like to wear.
Gaudy big floral patterns are one of them that she avoided at all cost. Kay was worried that Xing Han might either be loitering at the lobby or worse, walking about. Thus, the disguise would help avoid any suspicion or unwanted eyes. She quickly made sure she was fine then walked out hurriedly toward Blues Corner.
As she reached the place, she saw that Jason was already there. There were also some other people around so Kay quickly ducked into a nearby bathroom and took off the outer layers. She didn't' take out the wig but she did put on sunglasses. The folded the clothes and placed them in a waterproof bag. She then opened the toilet seat tank and taped the clothes under the cover before replacing it.

Kay found herself feeling all excited over what she was doing. All this time, she was always doing the missions with Kyle but this time, it was all by herself. It was quite exciting, sneaking out and being on edge like this. The adrenalin was pumping and she figured this must be something like how Kyle feels each time he goes out on a mission as "Ice". Doing all these undercover stuff was more fun than being "K" that was always in the shadows. She gave one last look in the mirror before heading out.
"Hi, waiting for someone?" Kay asked as she reached Jason, deliberately lowering her voice.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am," he replied with a smile and looked up to see if Kay would arrive.
She came closer and whispered in her real voice, "Maybe she has already arrived?"
Jason's eyes widened, then he looked down at her and asked softly in disbelief, "Kay?"
Kay giggled and nodded, "It's better to be safe than sorry. If my brother found out, I might get grounded."
Jason didn't say anything to that as yet, for he knew how close the Smith Twins were. However, he made an internal vow that he would drive a wedge between them so that he could get even closer to his Fairy. Still, he put on a smile as if it didn't bother him and he said, as if worried, "Are you sure about this, then?"
Kay tilted her head and smiled, even though he couldn't see it due to her face mask, "Of course. I'm not doing anything wrong, am I? You're just going to teach me how to make friends!"
Jason almost jerked back at that as he mentally hit himself in the head. Of course, she would be thinking that. She didn't know that he was interested in her in another way ... and he didn't want to get her to know other people as yet. Still, he pretended to ponder as he tapped his finger onto his chin. "Well, so long as you're sure ..."
Kay nodded vigorously.
"But we should ease into it slowly," Jason said, "You practice with me first and then we'll take it a notch higher after you're more comfortable."
Jason gave a brief smile even though inwardly, he was making a merry dance. If he played his cards right, he would be able to see Kay more often in secret. No other guy would be able to see her sweet smile, or listen to her angelic voice, or be privy to her cute little gestures. His Fairy was unique and was for private viewing only.
The fact that she was willing to go behind her brother's back also made it easier for him. In fact, he started feeling pretty good about it for it showed to him how she was putting him above her own brother. So what if the Smith Twins were close. This move of hers was obvious proof that she was actually placing him above her brother. His chest swelled at that thought, and all sorts of plans and dreams started in his mind.
"Let's go somewhere less crowded," Jason suggested but Kay shook her head.
"No, I think it's fine if it's around here," Kay said as she turned and gestured around her. Jason's eyes flashed a bit in annoyance but she didn't catch it as she was twirling around. By the time she turned back to face him, the expression was gone. "I need to get used to being around people, too, isn't it?"
Kay tilted her head (as a habit of hers whenever she's thinking) as she observed Jason, her eyes full of innocence. Though she didn't think Jason was dangerous, she wasn't foolish enough to go somewhere with him all alone. Less crowded? It wasn't that crowded here, so Kay wasn't comfortable with his suggestion. She had to make it sound innocent, though, for she didn't want him to think she didn't trust him. Which she didn't, of course - but he couldn't know that.
Jason gave a bright smile and said, "Sure, of course. Let's go to there though."
Kay turned to see that he gestured to a spot at the lawn, underneath the shade of a huge tree. "Sure, that looks perfect!"
They walked side-by-side to the location, with Jason trying very, very hard not to reach out and hold her hand.
