I can't help myself X3
Okay, it's only two chapters until I say goodbye. And now I'm serious. I just wanted to upload these so I could leave you in a cliffhanger.
Noah's POV
I was sitting in my bed. It was around one hour before lights off, so I had enough time to read a few chapters. Neither Owen or Trent were in the room, which left me alone with Cody.
"So how's everything with Gwen?" I asked.
"It's been the best month of my life," Cody said, grinning.
I couldn't believe it had already been a month since then. Late April was springing out in the gardens, and I hadn't still thought about how to tell Courtney about me liking her.
"You're lucky," I sighed "You got Gwen. I know from a conversation with Courtney she's crushing on a boy."
"If you knew," Cody smirked.
I eyed him suspiciously.
"If I knew...what?" I asked.
"No-nothing," Cody quickly stuttered. He was such a bad liar.
I thought for a split of second.
"You know who Courtney's crushing on?" I asked then.
"No...no," Cody muttered anxiously "I don't know anything at all."
"I will not get upset or anything," I quickly assured "Please!"
Cody sighed, "It's not about you getting upset. It's about me making a promise with Gwen..."
I rose an eyebrow.
"You had a secret scheme with Gwen?" I asked "So everyone here knows about Courtney except for me? How come that?"
"It was just casual," Cody shrugged his shoulders "I'm not meant to tell you. Fate will do its job."
"Well, you will not have any fate whatsoever if you don't tell me who Courtney is crushing on?"
Cody gulped. What was so wrong about it? Was it that bad? Was it Owen, Ezekiel or Harold? Duncan or Geoff? I didn't care, I just wanted to know.
"Tell me now," I begged.
"Uh...okay," Cody sighed, "I'll tell you."
Cody's POV
I was forced to tell him. What could I do? I felt like I was tied. I couldn't do anything at all. I thought about running away, since I was quick enough to hide in the Forbidden Forest within a minute. But no, Noah would find me. And I would pretty much die.
Sorry, fate, I thought, but I'm telling him right now.
"It's- it's-" I stammered "It's you."
"You? Who's you?" Noah asked furiously "I'm gonna get that you and..."
He slowly stopped, then looked at me.
"You mean...me?" he asked slowly. I nodded, "You mean she's crushing on me?"
I nodded again.
"Crap!" he cried then "Why didn't you tell me before."
"Gwen and I thought it wasn't correct," I shrugged my shoulders.
"Since when do you know this?"
"Um..." he'd get so mad at me, but I had to tell him, "Halloween..."
Noah glared at me, then grabbed my shirt angrily.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" he yelled "Why didn't you? I could have been so much happier for all these months and you've been selfish enough to keep all this to you!"
"I'm sorry Noah," I muttered "Now I realize we should've told you immediatly."
"No. Now you will not tell Courtney."
I looked at him. He was back sitting in his bed, thinking.
"I'll tell her," he announced "and you two will keep your mouthes shut."
"We will," I assured.
"Now I only need to find a way to tell her...Crap this is so hard."
"I know," I nodded.
"I'll find the right moment," Noah decided "and I'll tell her. It will come up eventually."
