Hey everyone! Here goes my next chapter! It's not awfully long but it's what you get when a writer can't sleep! Hope you like it!

Courtney's POV

There we were. January 4, and school again. I hopped off the train just before Noah did.

"I had started to miss the school," he commented as we went to the school in the carriages.

"Yeah, so had I," I agreed, a little shy.

We didn't really talk that much during the trip to the castle. Trent and Lucy went in our carriage too, so whenever I tried to talk to Noah, either of them would ask something to me, to which I answered glaring. We'd been like this for the whole day, since they'd been with us in the train too.

We finally arrived to the castle and jumped off. To my delight, I could see Cody and Gwen there, waiting for us.

"Guys!" I said, hugging them both.

"Hey," Gwen said.

"I read your letter," Noah told Cody "I looked everywhere, but found nothing. It only said it was banned information or something."

"Is there any chance in the library?" I asked.

Cody and Gwen shook their heads.

"Not a scrap of paper," Cody said sadly.

I glanced at Noah, who shrugged his shoulders.

"We should just stay reading the papers to see what they publish," he suggested "until we find something."

We all agreed that was the right thing to do.

Gwen's POV

In that very moment, Trent came into the school. He had been outside talking to DJ, but now both of them headed into the hall. When he saw Bridgette, I could sense him gasping. The next thing I saw was both of them together.

Kissing.

I felt how a dagger went through my chest and felt a tear trickling down my pale cheek. Soon, my face was wet, and I ran as fast as I could to my room, where I could lock myself and start sobbing alone.

"GWEN!" I could hear my friends yelling.

But I didn't care. I felt how tears strained down my eyes, and my brain burning with pain. I gritted my teeth.

When I finally made it to our room, I slammed the door shut and sat in my bed. I didn't need to restrain my tears any more. They started pouring down my face like waterfalls. I covered my head with my knees, crying quietly.

Cody's POV

"I'd better go after her," Courtney announced, running after Gwen.

I gritted my teeth and my fists. That was it. I was going to kill Trent in that same spot.

But not then. When we were in the common room, after dinner, which was just a while later. Oh, and he would regret it. I tell you he would regret it.

We were all in the common room. Trent was chatting casually with other students, while Gwen sat by Courtney. She felt better now, but I could see she was still clearly sad about everything that had happened that day. I stood up, knowing it was the right time.

I walked to Trent. He glanced at me, "Hey, man. What's up? Had a good Christmas?"

"Yeah," I answered coldly "but you are going to regret being born."

Trent looked at me, stranged. In that very moment, I gave him a big punch on his nose.

Everyone in the room gasped. I saw Trent's nose started bleeding. Whoa, I'd never realized I was so strong.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Trent yelled.

"You. Never. Mess. With. Gwen," I breathed.

Trent stood up and gave me a punch in my stomach. I felt a throbbing pain, but gave him a hook under his chin so hard he had to stomp back.

"GUYS, STOP IT!" Gwen cried, standing up.

I felt my stomach aching. I would ultimately barf. But I had to resist, for Gwen.

"You will regret...not choosing her," I whispered slowly, grabbing my wand.

"NO, CODY, WAIT!" Gwen hollered.

"Desmaius!" I cried.

A blue shimmer came out of my wand's point, and Trent flew up through the common room until he landed on a corner, inconscious.

"Cody!" Gwen shrieked, freaking out "Are you insane? They could expell you for this!"

"He will regret everything he's done today," I said coldly. Then, with all the dignity I could have, I walked to the bathroom, where I could peacefully throw up.

Love it? Hate it? I had originally thought about finally pairing up Gwen and Cody but then thought "Nah, let's make my readers wait a little more" XD But don't worry it'll come soon! Reviews make me work FASTER!
