It was a windy but warm day in Kansas as Cassie Novak hugged her books close to her chest and made her first steps towards her new school.
Starting at a new school a month in was hardly on any dream list, but it was a brand new start for her junior year.
Ever since her parents split up, she has been relying on her brother Gabriel to take care of her. He had dropped out of college to take care of her and the only thing she could do was stand idly by and watch.
The one good thing about this school was it didn't require a uniform. She had previously only gone to catholic schools, but Gabriel had insisted she spend time with some 'normal people'. Whatever that meant.
Still, she had been able to get some new skirts. Today she felt particularly cute in a maroon ¾ skirt and white blouse. Her chin length curly black hair was bouncing around as she moved.
"Have a good first day Cassie! Don't break too many hearts." Gabriel teased, waving then driving off.
Now she was truly on her own. The first stop for new students was always the meeting with the principal. Ms. Angel was one of those progressive principals who wanted to be called by her first name.
"Castiel, I can't begin to tell you how pleased we are to have you here in Lawrence. I'm sure you will be an excellent addition to our community." Cassie played with the ends of her hair and smiling distractedly.
"Thank you Ms. Angel."
"Naomi," Ms. Angel interjected.
She was young for an administrator, with red hair pulled into a slick bun. She wore a modest pantsuit and light makeup. She was very pretty naturally, but the makeup accentuated her features.
"Here we have your final class register. Your first period is AP Literature with Ms. Milton. Here's a map for you and if you have any questions as the day goes on, don't be afraid to stop by."
After an awkward moment of silence, Cassie smiled and went on her way. The school consisted of 3 floors, her Lit class was on the second.
The map was glued to her face as she tried to navigate through the hallways that all looked the same. The walls were all the same uniform color, and she began to feel trapped.
"Are you new?" She heard a low voice call.
She turned to see a tall boy in a varsity jacket leaning against a wall. Cassie bit her lip and nodded, feeling a blush creep onto her already pale features.
"Don't feel too bad okay? I still get lost and I've been going here for 4 years." He held out his hand to her.
"My name is Dean Winchester, and you are? Besides cute I mean." Cassie felt her blush darken as she hid her face behind her bangs.
"Cassie. Cassie Novak." She responded shakily.
"May I?" he asked, gesturing towards her schedule. She nodded and handed it to him. He smiled and then took to examining it.
"Geez 3 APs? You must be really smart. It says your first class is with Ms. Milton. I had her last year. She's a bit coocoo for coco puffs, but if you like to read she'll love you. My little sister Sam is in that class, so I'll walk you. I haven't annoyed her yet today anyway."
"You're in my physics class. I guess that shows how bad I am at it. I failed it last year but who knows maybe you could help me. We could study together sometime."
Cassie stopped and opened her mouth to speak, but Dean just kept walking. She didn't want to miss anymore class so she chose to follow along. Dean knocked then stuck his head in.
"Hey Ms. M, I brought you some fresh meat." He opened the door wider, and Cassie stepped in. Looking around the room briefly, she saw only one open seat next to some girl with long dirty blonde hair.
"Ah yes, Ms. Novak, we've been waiting for you. Megan if you could please remove your shoes from that chair so Castiel can sit down."
"Cassie please." Cas snapped.
"I prefer Cassie." She added, much quieter.
There were a few snickers from the back of the class. She shuffled to her seat, burying her face in her bangs.
"You can leave now Mr. Winchester, unless you have some opinion on Macbeth." Ms. Milton folded her arms across her chest. Dean held his hands up in surrender and shot Cassie a wink before heading to his class.
"Hey Cassie, I'm Meg Masters." The blonde girl next to her introduced herself.
She seemed friendly enough, but there was something mysterious about her smirk. She began a conversation, and Cassie tried her best to participate, but she was naturally a shy person. She preferred living vicariously through fictional characters than interacting with real people.
"Who's your favorite author?" She asked, hoping to find some common ground to really get into the talking.
"Probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually. I love the Sherlock Holmes novels, plus BBC Sherlock is such a good re imagination of his works." Meg looked at Cassie for an answer as well.
"I really enjoy John Green. But anyway, you watch Sherlock too?" She stared in shock at the girl. In her old schools, no one had even heard of it.
"Oh yeah. Benedict Cumberbatch is such an amazing actor. But don't spoil anything I still have to watch series 2." Cassie smiled, and giggled quietly.
"Oh wait until episode 6. You'll be crying." Meg feigned a look of horror and the two laughed.
"Ms. Masters, I suppose you can tell us how the witches are manipulating Macbeth?"
Meg smiled coyly. "Why of course Ms. Milton, the three witches first gained Macbeth's trust by predicting the Thane of Cawdor's death, and now they have shown him a future that makes him believe he is invincible."
Ms. Milton scowled but nodded. "Please at least pretend to pay attention. Just because you have read this play already does not mean you don't have to listen in class. Try to be a good influence on Cassie."
She turned and went back to her lesson. "She hates me. In her eyes I'm some sort of demon child and she's an angel from above. Its completely stupid, but she can't fail me as long as I keep being a brilliant writer."
The two talked for the rest of the period, discovering they had several things in common. They both loved Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Merlin, and were taking AP U.S. History with Mr. Singer.
"You'll love him. He's the best history teacher we have here. Can I see your schedule? I'll give you the run down on who you have." Meg glanced over her schedule and took out a pen, drawing a guide on her map.
"They're all pretty okay except for your Ms. Ruby. She's your physics teacher. She'll eat you alive. She's totally in cahoots with Dr. Deville to try and get principal Naomi fired. Other than that they're all decent. Watch out for Ms. Knight, she's a really hard gym teacher. Like who makes students actually try. Lucky for you, we have PE together so I'll make sure if you die of exhaustion you don't land on your face."
Cassie must have looked horrified, because Meg was laughing. "Okay so maybe I'm exaggerating, but just think how lucky you are to have made a friend on your first day. I guess you could say I'm your unicorn."
Then Meg asked for Cas's phone and put in her number as 'Meg the almighty'. The bell rang and it was back into the halls to try and find her next class, AP Calculus.
Walking through the halls, she clutched her copy of Macbeth and looked forward to fourth period so she could see Meg again.
I just got this idea of Cas being a nerdy new girl and Dean being a varsity football player and I wanted to see where this went so here it is.
