"Another new school, Dean," Sam said when I stopped the Impala in front of our latest school, "And you're last one if Dad keeps his promise."
"Yup," I said getting out of the car, "And I can't wait to get this over with."
"I don't see why you hate school so much," he said shaking his head, "You always become the most popular dude on the first day and have girls throwing themselves at you."
"The only good part of any school," I said smirking, "Come on kid. Let's get this over with."
I threw my arm around Sam's shoulders and walked into the school with him. As we walked past I ignored the looks that were being thrown at Sam and I. It wasn't that I didn't like hot girls looking at me, but it got a little annoying having bimbo's throwing my selves at me.
Sam pulled away once we were in the building and pointed to where we were supposed to go. Rolling my eyes I followed him as he went to the counselor's office to get our schedule and locker assignments.
"Excuse me," Sam said knocking on the open door, "Are you Miss Gordon?"
"Yes," a woman sitting in front of a laptop said smiling, "You must be Sam and Dean Seeley."
"That's us," I said grinning charmingly.
"Here are your papers," she said handing us a few papers, "Would you like someone to show you where everything is before school starts?"
"Sure," Sam said before I could stop him.
"Okay," she said getting up and walking past us out of her office, "Melinda, can you come here for a moment?"
A girl turned looked up from the laptop she was typing furiously on. Curly chocolate brown hair framed her naturally tan face. She grinning widely before shutting her laptop and slipping it into her bag.
When she stood up I noticed that she was wearing a long flowing dark green skirt and a cream peasant blouse. Her bag was a simple weaved bag that looked handmade. Black flip flops finished off her outfit.
She was barely wearing any makeup which was just making me think of how beautiful she really was. Her lips were a soft shiny pink and her eyes had a thin line of black eyeliner. It was amazing how naturally beautiful she was.
"Yes Miss Gordon?" Melinda said smiling brightly.
"Melinda, this is Dean and Sam Seeley," Miss Gordon said motioning to us, "Would you mind showing them around the school?"
"I wouldn't mind," she said happily, "I'm Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt."
"Nice to meet you," Sam said smiling back at her.
"Yeah," I said nodding.
"Well, if you guys would give me your schedules I'll show you where to go." she said offering her hand to us.
Handing her our schedules she looked over them quickly before handing them back and turning to a hallway. She motioned for us to follow us and explained to us that that school was pretty easy to go through once you knew where you were going.
"And it will be extra easy for you Dean," Melinda said grinning.
"Why's that?" I asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Because your schedule is the same as mine," she said happily, "Just follow me until you get it down.
"Okay," I said nodding.
"Do you guys have any hobbies?" she asked curiously, "This school has a club for everything and all of them are doing really cool things right now. Like the science club is going to study the human body by watching an autopsy next week, the journalism club is going to be working at one of the newspapers here, and the auto club is rebuilding a 1955 Thunderbird."
"You guys are doing a lot here," Sam said surprised, "How do you know what the different clubs are doing?"
"Oh," she said giggling, "I only know those three. My oldest brother is the head of the auto club, my youngest older brother is the head of science, and I'm the head of the journalism club."
"You guys have this place wired," I said calmly.
"Not really," she said shrugging, "It's just something we do so we know who we are as individuals."
"You guys are together a lot?" Sam asked looking at me.
"Yup," she said nodding, "It runs in the family. I mean, my mom and aunts didn't move out of the Manor until both my brothers were born. Well, they did live apart for awhile, but they weren't talking then and that was when my aunt was alive. And my other aunt moved out for awhile during her first marriage, but turns out she married of the Source of all evil."
Sam and I exchanged looks when Melinda finished talking. It sounded like her family was as close knit as ours had become. It was nice to see that they were so close together and seemed to be getting along.
"How are you guys together so much but not at each others throats all the time?" Sam asked softly.
"Our hobbies," Melinda said calmly, "When my family is really getting to me or I just need to think I get my laptop and listen to music while writing. Same for my brothers. They listen to music and do whatever calms them down. Unless we're really made at each other, then we fight."
"Fight?" I said trying to imagine Melinda fist fighting or even saying something mean."
"Yup," she said nodding, "We end up fist fighting in the basement. I'm actually able to take my brothers down if I'm mad enough."
"And your brother is what?" I asked seriously doubting she could take anyone down, "The biggest, skinniest nerd ever?"
"Nope," she said smirking, "My oldest brother is the Quarterback and my younger older brother is the captain of the swim team."
"And you take them down?" Sam asked surprised.
"Yeah," she said grinning, "Think you know your classes Sam?"
"Yes," he said nodding, "Thanks Melinda."
"You guys can call me Mel if you want," she said looking at her phone for the time, "Well, the bell is about to ring. Ready to see your classes Dean?"
"Sure," I said watching Sam walk to his class, "Let's go."
Melinda walked into the class room to the right of us and took her spot in the middle of the room. Looking at the teacher I saw that he was too focused on his laptop to notice me.
"Stop right there, Mr. Seeley," the teacher said not looking up, "Papers at the edge of my desk. Go to a desk, only one free one, fill them out and bring them back. I'll give you your assignment then."
"Okay," I said taking the papers.
When I turned around again all the desks were full expect for the one by Melinda. Shrugging I sat next to her and started to fill out the papers. I stood up when I was done and handed the papers to the teacher.
He took them and handed me another paper before having me go back to my desk. Looking down at the paper I saw that it was the outline for an English paper that was going to be due in two weeks.
"Get in groups," the teacher yelled calmly, "Halliwell, work with the new guy."
Everyone started to move around until they were all in groups of two. Melinda stood up and waited for me to stand up. I followed her as she walked out of the classroom and through the hallways.
"Where are we going?" I asked after awhile.
"Library," Melinda said calmly, "You have to get the book."
"What book?" I said walking through the library doors.
"I was going to do 'A Midsummer Nights Tale," she said shrugging, "But we can pick a different book if you want. It just has to be by Shakespeare."
"That sounds fine," I said nodding, "As long as it's not 'Romeo and Juliet'. It's overdone."
"Agreed," she said smiling.
Walking through the library I found my eyes raking over Melinda's body. Melinda froze and turned to me. She cocked her body to the side and motioned for me to come closer.
When I was close enough Melinda's hand shot out and hit the back of my head. I stared at her in confusion but she pushed me ahead of her without saying anything to me at all.
"I know it's a good thing to be checked out," Melinda said softly, "But please don't stare at my ass."
"Sorry," I said clearing my throat, "Didn't know you could tell."
"I can," she said smiling slightly, "Let's get you that book."
"Right," I said rubbing my head, "That really hurt."
"Sorry," she said blushing, "I didn't mean to do it that hard. It's a difficult situations."
"What is?" I asked confused.
"I just got out of a really bad relationship," she said sighing.
"How bad? I said making her stop, "I don't mean to pry, but if you don't even like guys checking you out it would have had to be a really bad situation for you to do all of this. So what happened?"
"He tried to kill me," she said calmly.
