Charlene's eyes widened as Hazel stumbled into their dorm room, he hair disheveled and dark circles under her eyes. "You look scary!! Did you get any sleep?" She asked shocked.

"Good morning to you too." Hazel chuckled awkwardly. "Now we can talk properly, I slept well, but had to wake up at midnight due to personal reasons."

Charlene nodded slowly "I guess you couldn't sleep afterwards."

Hazel smiled shortly "yeah..I guess you slept well"

"Sure thing" Charlene winked "I'm sorry you couldn't sleep though."

Hazel waved it off. "Oh well, I'm used to it."

Charlene threw off the quilt "I need to get ready for class, to avoid unnecessary drama." Charlene said and got off the bed, walking to the bathroom.

Blake yawned lazily getting out of bed.

"You're up late" Louis said walking out of the kitchen "it's so unlike you"

Blake stared shortly at him and sighed "you're not mad at me...about last night"

Louis chuckled "I'm not, or maybe a little bit" observing Blake's glare he decided to clear the air. "But you were just being Typical Blake so..."

Blake smiled shortly "I should get set for class then" he shrugged and got off the bed.

"I'll be in the Kitchen making breakfast" Louis said and walked back to the kitchen with a pink napkin over his shoulder.

As Blake got out of bed, he muttered under his breath, "still figuring out who you are, Mrs. Killarney...stay far away from my dreams."

Midas glanced anxiously at his wristwatch for the umpteenth "hurry up Aiden, we're running behind schedule."

Aiden brushed his hair, unfazed. "You can leave if you want, but if you do consider our friendship over."

Midas chuckled "dramatic much"

Aiden's eyes met Midas's in the mirror, a hint of seriousness beneath his playful tone. "Just give me a minute."

Midas chuckled a hint off mockery, "you're not trying to outdo Blake's charm are you?"

Aiden rolled his eyes, clenching his jaws nervously "Blake Armstrong Killarney is totally different from Aiden Finn."

"But thinking about it, Blake's just that perfect dude, I mean he's.."

"You really think Blake's that captivating huh?" Aiden cut him off, a glint of jealousy in his eyes. "Even without his real face, he's this gorgeous I wonder what he'd be like if he reveal his true self."

"Finally done, let's go" Aiden said adjusting his collar before walking away from the mirror with Midas behind.

Delaney's eyes narrowed, studying Diamond's radiant smile. "Why that smile, just yesterday you were all moody and now?"

Diamond's grin faltered for a moment before she recovered, her tone growing icy. "None of your business."

Delaney's eyebrows shot up, surprised by Diamond's sudden hostility. "You're snapping at me huh? Fine, I'll leave you to your secrets."

Delaney stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Diamond's smile returned her eyes glinting with malice. "She's annoying. Can't wait to find out who Aiden was expecting. If it's a girl..." Her voice trailed off, her laughter breaking out and echoing through the room.

Charlene was humming slowly the tunes of a song as she walked to class alone.

Melanie sighted her from a distant and thought of walking to her bit in a second thought, she decided to trail behind.

Charlene bumped into Ava and Layla and instantly apologized, trying to leave hastily, but Ava grasped her arm.

"Not so fast princess." Ava sneered and exchanged a knowing glance with Layla.

Charlene's eyes sparkled with amusement and she giggled as she recalled Ava's embarrassment at the freshman party.

Layla's expression darkened. "What's so funny?"

Ava peeked through Charlene's thoughts and a deep frown found it's way to her face. "Who do you think you are?" She glanced at Layla who was staring at her, expecting explanation "she's laughing because of what transpired during the freshman party"

Layla's face reddened. "How dare you mock me, bitch?" She raised her hand to strike Charlene.

But her hands froze, encased in ice. "Arg" she yelled, her pain was ignored by the passing students.

Ava glared angrily at Charlene and also attempted to hit her, but her hands Also ended in frozen suspension. "Unfreeze our hands, you bitch!" Ava snapped.

Charlene remained silent bewildered by the unfolding events. "How did she freeze two people at the same time?" Was the question that rang in her mind.

Just as tensions escalated, Master Kang appeared, his presence commanding attention. With a swift gesture, he unfroze Ava and Layla's hands. Then snapped his blazing eyes at Charlene who was trembling. "To the Master's Chamber now."

Melanie observed from a distant, a satisfied smirk on her lips. "Serves them right. I doubt they'd mess with the wrong person next time.

As Charlene made her way to the Masters Chamber, she couldn't help but grow worried and rather anxious. 'How did their hands get frozen' were the thoughts that lingered in her mind.

As she stood by the door, about to plant a knock on it, her mind drifted to Vintage College and her expulsion.

Was she going to get expelled from Dreame college too? And if she got expelled what'd she possibly do.

"Come in" Master Ryan's soft voice rang from the inside and taking a deep breath, she twisted the doorknob, opening the door.

"Charlene Craig, you broke our only rule." Master Kang said coldly, the moment she walked in, his voice laced with disappointment. "What happened to letting love lead?"

Charlene's face fell, with various running through her mind. She never intended to hurt anyone.

Master Ryan's gaze lingered on her as he spoke "Hurting your kind...is a taboo"

Charlene raised her head up, her head tilting to the direction of Master Ryan.

"I'm sorry Masters" she whispered her voice trembling.

"The deed has been done already, you should be punished" Master Kang added and slowly, a tear slid down her face.

Master Ryan cleared his throat and stared at Master Kang "the punishment for hurting another is ostracism for a week depending on the damage done"

Charlene gasped, her eyes darting from one master to the other, it rested on Master Arnold who hasn't spoken a word since she got in.

Master Arnold locked his gaze with hers and noticing her vulnerability he cleared his throat and started "it's not entirely her fault. I've noticed that she doesn't know the powers she possess, thus she can't even control them."

Master Kang stared slowly at Charlene then at Master Arnold "so what do you suggest we do? The newbies have been here for a while now"

"I suggest you let the punishment slide, it's not her fault." Master Arnold insisted and Charlene looked up at him, and he smiled softly at her. For the first time in a while, someone gave her a smile that reassured her that everything would be fine.

"In that case, she needs a tutor before joining the general class" Master Ryan suggested "one stronger that any other student."

"It's been a while since we had this same issue" Master Kang said and sighed "who'd tutor her then?"

Charlene's heart skipped beats as she stared at the Masters deciding her fate in her presence.

"Aiden Finn" Master Ryan suggested "I think Aiden is sound enough"

Master Arnold shook his head "I don't think so...Aiden is rather playful, she need's someone who's stronger, stern and more matured."

"I still insist Aiden is better, he's down to earth" Master Ryan said "Blake seem to have a lot going on with him, that might affect the training."

Master Arnold smiled softly "she has a protector doesn't she?" He raised a brow.

"Blake Armstrong it is" Master Kang concluded and they three Masters took their gaze to Charlene who kept wondering who exactly was Blake Armstrong.

"Your private lessons begin tomorrow" Master Kang said sternly "as for your punishment, you're to remain confined to your room for the rest of today, no interactions with anyone else aside your roommate...."
