Chapter Text
First day of High School. We all know how it feels, some find it nerve wracking or exciting, but, mostly nerve wracking.
Alarm went off at 7AM. I've got an hour to get ready and then I got to drive me and my brother, Sammy, to school with my beautiful 1967 Chevy Impala. I call her 'Baby'.
I hopped out of bed and didn't need to strip down out of my pyjamas because, well, i don't wear pyjamas. I put on my blue jeans, with a tight, plain, black t-shirt and my
leather coat. I did what every other man did, shaved and brushed my teeth. There was no need for brushing my hair because it was too short and I liked the messy hair look.
I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs to open the fridge from the kitchen and grab a bottle of beer. Of course I had to wait for Sam. He takes forever to get ready
and spends most of his time doing his hair since it's much longer than mine. As time passed, he finally showed.
"About time, Princess" I said.
"Ha Ha. Well we better get on going, don't want to be late for our first day of High School. God, this is going to be awful." Sam replied with a shaky voice.
I know Sammy was scared but I needed to make him feel a bit better..."Yes, it's going to be hell but we'll get through it, like what we always do right?". Thankfully, he smiled and nodded.
We grabbed our backpacks and went in the Impala. The school we were going to (Lake View High School) wasn't too far from me and Sam's house, but I wish it was.
School, home-work, learning, isn't really my thing. I'm not what you call an "intelligent student". I always wanted to be a Car Mechanic. I've never really thought about High School but
now that i'm literally going there now, I am. I've got no clue where my classes are, i'm no good with "making friends", and I have no classes with Sammy. I'm sure Sammy will do fine,
he is a bright-minded and smart kid.
I rolled in and parked in the Students Parking Lot and hopped out of the car. This is going to be hell.
"Ready Sammy?" I said but tried not to sound nervous.
"Not at all Dean." Sam replied.
We took our backpacks out of the car and went in the school.
"Look we'll meet at lunch in the Cafeteria, but as of right now, you're on your own. Good luck with your classes and don't get into any trouble!" Is all I said before I left him. I
hope that was brotherly enough for him. I was worried about him even though I know he'll be fine. It's myself who I should be worrying about.
I scanned through my Class Schedule and of course, I have Science first. The bell rang and I felt sick. I didn't want to be late but I knew that'd be impossible if I wasn't.
I looked everywhere for that damn class and the second bell rang which meant that I should be in class but I wasn't, I was in some random, empty hall way. I panicked.
I had no other choice but to go to the Main Office and ask someone to direct me to the class. God this was embarrassing but the lady found me my class so screw it.
And I was the only one that was late. This is awkward.
I slowly walked to the empty desk. Everyone was staring at me.
"You must be Dean Winchester!" The teacher said. From what I can already tell, she seems to be abnormally peppy. Great.
"I'm Mrs. Linscott! I will be teaching you Science as you already know, for the semester. So please, sit down so we can assign Lab Partners!" she added.
I sat down and I still felt the hot, awkwardness in this room.
"Okay kids! I have all of your names written on a piece of paper and in this bowl. You are to pick one of the papers up and read out the name, and that name will be your Lab Partner!" Mrs. Linscott said in a pitchy voice.
I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore the fact that she sounded like a mouse.
She first went to me. I stuck my hand out and grabbed a random piece of paper. I opened it and read it.
"Castiel?" What kind of name is that?
Mrs. Linscott clapped her hands and said "Great!!! Castiel you can go meet your new lab partner!!!"
She took the bowl and passed it to another kid.
A guy with blue eyes, and dark brown hair approached to me. He was wearing a trench coat. Wow.
He gave me an awkward smile and said "Hi."
"Hi."
"I guess we are Lab Partners."
"Clearly."
I didn't know what else to say. I mean am I supposed to ask him what his hobbies were or what?
He tilted his head it bit, like a dog, and stared at me. I swear I couldn't have felt more awkward.
After everyone got their Lab Partners, Mrs. Linscott talked to us about class rules and all of that other shit. By the time she was finished talking, the bell rang. Finally.
My second class was Art. I was no good at it but it was either that or Music. I didn't have much trouble finding this class since it was on the same floor as my science class.
I went in the class room. There were a bunch of paintings on the wall. You can tell that the students painted the cabinets and desks. It was so artsy... There was a painting of Bon Jovi on the wall, okay that was cool.
I sat down in a random desk, tried to avoid my classmates. And I noticed that that Castiel kid was also in this class as well. He actually approached to me again, and sat beside me.
I tried not to roll my eyes. There was so many more empty desks and he decided to choose the one right beside me.
"Hello again." He said.
"Hi." I replied. Ugh another awkward conversation.
"Are you an Artistic student?" He asked.
I chuckled, "Hell no. It was either this or Music."
"Oh I see. That is also the reason why I chose this class." He replied.
I nodded my head because there was really not much else to say. I just needed to get through one more hour so it'll be lunch time and I can see Sam.
The teacher introduced himself, his name was Mr.Carr and it seemed like he took Art way to seriously but I guess that's just the type of guy he is.
We started with an assignment. We had to draw something that is really important to us. I obviously drew my Baby.
I looked over to see what Castiel was drawing, and he drew a burger.
I lifted up one of my eyebrows and said, "I take it you have a passion for Burgers?"
"Yes I do. They make me happy." He replied and smiled. What a weird kid.
I felt him looking over to see what I was drawing and he said, "What type of car is that?"
I sort of smiled because no one has ever asked me about my Baby.
"She's a 1967 Chevy Impala. My Dad gave it to me." I replied.
He seemed very interested in it and nodded, "Very nice."
After quite some time, the bell rang. I almost jumped out of my seat because of how happy I was.
I went straight to the Cafeteria and waited for Sammy to show up.
After a few minutes I seen him walking towards me with a smile on his face.
"Hey!" He said.
I was going to question why he was so happy but I just let him be. "Hey Sammy, how was your first two classes?"
"Pretty good. My teachers were nice and so were my classmates! I actually met a cool guy named Ben!" He replied.
Man he's doing better than me. I cleared my throat and smiled.
"Nice! I'm glad you're doing okay!"
"Yeah. How about you? How are your classes?"
"Well you know me, I'll never like my classes but they weren't terrible." I replied.
"Did you meet anyone or flirt with any of the girls?" Sam winked.
Surprisingly I didn't. I actually didn't even notice any of the girls.
"No I didn't flirt with any girl but I only met one kid. His name is Castiel."
Sam laughed and said, "That's a weird name."
"Yeah I know."
We opened our lunches that were brought from home.
Sam had salad and I had a burger. While I was eating my burger all I thought about was Castiel and how Burgers "make him happy". I sort of laughed to myself.
As time passed, the bell rang.
"I'll see you after school!" Sam said and disappeared in the hallways.
I looked at my schedule again to see what my 3rd Period class was and it was Gym. I'm no athlete but this is the best thing I can do.
I went to the changing room. I was actually the first person there.
I first removed my shirt and put it in my gym bag. It kind of felt weird changing somewhere else other than home.
Just as I was about to put on my Gym shirt on. Someone walked in the door. And it was Castiel. You've got to be kidding me.
So now it was just me and him.
"Oh hello Dean!" He said.
"I see we also have this class together..." I replied.
He smiled and nodded. He took off his top and revealed his soft-looking skin. He was actually pretty muscular. I tried to avoid looking at him since he was like naked.
But I can feel him staring at me.
The other guys came in the change room. This made things feel less awkward. A boy with blonde, curly hair with hazel eyes said loud enough for everyone in the changing room to hear, "Oh look, it's the gay boy with the trench coat!".
Everyone laughed. I looked over at Castiel and he looked very embarrassed and scared. So he was gay. I didn't want to do it but I felt bad for the guy so I said, "Leave him alone alright?".
The blonde boy came towards me and chuckled, "Oh I see your his boyfriend." and of course everyone laughed. Well I didn't want that son of a bitch to be making fun of Castiel or me so I took a step closer to him and tightened my jaws.
"Why don't you shut your mouth and leave us alone?"
"I'm afraid not." He clenched his fists and took a straight punch to me right in the face. Fuck. My nose was bleeding and I was fired up.
My dad is a hunter so i've learned a bunch of tricks from him. I went close to him and gave him an elbow strike in the face. He fell on the ground and that should have been enough for him. His nose was now also bleeding.
I turned to Castiel to see his reaction and he was doing that damn dog look again. One of the guys from my gym class called the teacher and me and blondy both got sent to the principals office. Oh i'm screwed.
Thankfully the Principal left me with a warning so I got no suspension or detention and I headed back to Gym class even though it was almost over.
Everyone was changing back to their regular clothes. While I was putting my gym clothes in my bag, Castiel came to me. He looked really worried.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes i'm fine. No detention or suspension, so i'm good. How about you?" I replied.
"Great, thanks to you." He smiled and his blue eyes twinkled.
"It was no problem."
"Yes it was. You could have gotten in a lot of trouble."
"Yeah well..."
"But really, thank you. Is there anyway I can repay you?"
"Cas, i'm fine"
I just realized I called him 'Cas'. I hope he didn't find that weird.
He took out a kleenex out of his gym bag and gave it to me.
"Here" he said.
I reached for it and said "Thanks". I wiped off the blood from my nose and put the dirty, bloody kleenex in my bag because I couldn't find a trashcan.
The bell rang for last period.
Before I went looking for my last period class which was Math, Castiel asked me what my last class was. And it turned out he had the same class as well.
So we have all of our classes together. How cute. He asked if he can go to class with me and I said yes. We both walked into our math class and of course, he sat next to me.
It feels like having a puppy, following you around and doing that head tilt thing. I kind of liked it. I mean, he was the only one who attempted to talk to me. Everyone else were assholes to be honest.
My teacher did the whole speech on class rules and blah blah blah. I did not pay attention to anything she said except when she said to "treat everyone the same. It doesn't matter if someone has a different race, skin color, or
sexual orientation" this kind of made me feel awkward now knowing that Castiel was gay and was sitting right beside me. I almost looked over to him too. I wonder if he likes me. But I doubt it.
The last bell finally rang and it was time to go home. I met Sam infront of the Impala.
"Hey!" Sam said.
"Hey. You ready?" I replied.
He nodded and we both went in the car.
As I was driving back home, Sam asked if there was a beer in my backpack and well, there was. I let him grab it from my backpack.
"Um Dean..." Sam said.
"What?"
"Why do you have a kleenex full of blood in your backpack?"
Shit. Sam pulled it out of my backpack and held it out.
"Uh it's nothing." is all I said.
"Dean. Tell me. What happened?" Sam said sounding very concerned.
"Seriously, it's nothing, I just got a random nose bleed".
Sam slowly nodded but I knew that he knew that I was lying.
We got home and I headed up to my room. I grabbed my laptop and a beer and went on my bed. I went on Facebook and seen that I had one new friend request.
I clicked to see who it was and it was Castiel.
I sighed and shut my laptop screen. What does this guy want with me?
