Next morning, 1st January, 2022
7.00am
Winchester : Good morning!
7.23am
Winchester : wakey wakey
Castiel saw the message from the notification tray and decided not to reply.....
Castiel arrived at school, looking around every time, eyes wandering to search Dean.
He didn't find him until maths class.......since there were no benches unoccupied in the front, for the first time, Cas sat at the last bench unknown to the fact that the next seat was none other than Dean's.
Cas' eyes were on the door waiting for the teacher to come in, but some else came in, followed by the teacher.
Dean Winchester.
Cas watched as Dean walked straight next to him and sat without saying another word.
Castiel tried hard to concentrate on the class but was distracted everytime Dean moved or breathed even. Castiel looked at his watch and damn there was still half an hour for the class to end. He sighed and slumped back in the chair and closed his eyes.
Cas opened his eyes when he was interrupted by a pencil hitting on the bench in a rhythm. He looked to his side to see Dean was staring at him, his eyes calm and bright.
Castiel raised an eyebrow at him. He watched as Dean scribbled something on a peice of paper. Castiel came forward and looked what he had written.
"u listening to what she's saying ?"
Castiel shook his head and wrote, "Nope"
Dean sighed and started scribbling, Castiel waited until Dean pushed the paper towards him.
"Why tho? U like math ri8?"
Castiel wanted to face palm himself but he did it mentally.
"Nah." Was all he wrote back.
It seemed like Dean was excited to talk like this.
"What's ur name?"
"Castiel."
"I'm Dean." Dean wrote back.
"I know." Castiel replied.
He saw as Dean's eyes widened as he scribbled something again.
There were some scratches lines before to what Dean had written now.
"How?"
"You dumb or something?" Castiel wrote back. Dean looked pissed.
"Why?"
"Nevermind."
Dean didn't reply back and the two sat staring at the black board.
After fifteen minutes.....
"The class is over. Don't forget to submit your assignments tomorrow." The teacher announced and the class slowly started leaving.
Castiel stood up and noticed Dean didn't get up. He looked to his side and saw Dean was asleep. He looked peaceful and better than the Dean who was annoyed and pissed off all the time.
As it was lunch break, the teacher had already left.
Castiel decided to wake Dean up.
"Dean. Wake up....." He said in normal voice.
The boy didn't budge.
"Dean....wake up." Cas shook him lightly making Dean open his eyes slowly.
"The class is over. Everyone left."
Dean looked at Cas with furrowed eyebrows.
Cas turned to go away but Dean stopped him by grabbing his wrist.
Cas turned and Dean held his head. Getting up so fast just after waking up made him feel dizzy.
"You okay?" Cas asked.
"Yeah.....I....what did you say?" Dean asked Cas.
"I told you the class was over and everyone left."
"Ohhh. Why did you wake me? You should've left me." Cas titled his head. He didn't understand what the other boy was talking about.
"I don't know." Dean realised he was still holding the other boy's hand and let go, his face going all red. Cas didn't notice.
"I-I am sorry....I should go." Dean left leaving Cas alone in the empty classroom. Castiel sighed and left searching for his friends.
Cas saw Meg waving her hand and walked towards the table. She had already got a plate of food for him. He thanked her and sat down.
Castiel opened his phone and decided to text Dean.
The same evening, 1.24pm
Castiel : hey Dean.
Castiel was surprised when the message was seen and Dean was already typing.
Winchester is typing....
Winchester : What took you so long?
Castiel : huh?
Winchester : to reply dumbass.
Castiel : oh....I was late this morning so didn't see my phone until now.
Cas lied, as if Dean will get to know.
Winchester : how are you?
Castiel blinked at his phone.....how was he? No one ever asked him that except for his close friends. Seeing Dean ask him that confused him.
Castiel : I'm fine. You?
Winchester : not so much.
Castiel furrowed his eyes, what was he talking about. Dean was perfectly fine the previous class.
Castiel : is something wrong?
Winchester : you know Lisa?
Castiel : yeah...?
Winchester : she's already moved on....I thought she really loved me.
Oh....how could that bitch do this to Dean. Dean only dated Lisa from the beginning and were known as the power couple.
Dean was of course the heartthrob of the whole school, everyone were jealous of Lisa, including Cas himself.
Castiel : oh...
Winchester : yeah.....I don't know what to do....I'm so lost ...
Castiel : you know that I am a complete stranger right? And you're telling me all this....I may hurt you with this information.
Winchester : I don't care anymore......it's like I've been betrayed and just being used.....
Before Castiel could reply the bell rang.....and everyone dispersed to their classes.
