Dean Winchester was just about your stereotypical high school student when it came to popularity and sport, but not so grate in the academic side of things. All through Dean's school life he had always been in with the popular crowd and when senior year finally hit, things were still the same. Although he had the perfect school and social life, the cheerleader girlfriend, smarter younger brother and star of his school's baseball team and friends with near enough everyone in his year , Dean sometimes couldn't help but feel something was missing in his life but he couldn't understand for the life of his what it was that was missing.
Castiel Novak was the complete opposite to Dean, he didn't stand out, had no friends, his older brother was more likable then him and he had no girlfriend. But he having no girlfriend did not bother him as much as it did with his brother Gabriel. Castiel had always known he was gay ever since he started high school however the only people that knew he was gay was his best friend Kevin and of course his brother Gabriel. His brother knowing he was gay was one of the reasons he thought Castiel needed a girl for cover to make sure people at school and his father did not find out. But his shyness always got the better of him and he never really plucked up the courage to speak to anyone apart from the people he knew.
But things were about to change in both of their lives thanks to a certain English Project.
Dean had never really noticed Castiel in class because he always sat at the back surrounded by either team members , cheerleaders or fans and Castiel had always sat at the front of the class in a corner away from sight. Mr Singer was their English teacher and that day he had decided to shake things up a bit when it came to partnering for the upcoming project which coincidently went towards their final grade.
" Alright for this next project as you all know is the most important yet so to make sure the pairs are fair on both parties you will have to pick your partners name out of this hat "
"Seriously", said Dean very vocally.
"Yes Mr. Winchester Seriously "
And with that the whole class started to pick names of their partners. After what seemed like an eternity for Dean it was his choice and after scrimmaging around the different options he finally decided to pick one. " Alright Winchester tell me who our lucky partner is".
"Castiel Novak", he announced not sure if he knew who that person was but after saying his name out loud Castiel turned round to face Dean. Dean did not expect to see the sight that he did. He was meet with the pair of bluest eyes anyone could have and jet black hair that was rough around the edges. All he could think when he saw what Castiel looked like was 'WOW' but then he mentally kicked himself for thinking about another male that way.
Once all the partners were chosen Castiel had to sit next to Dean and start to plan the project. As soon as he sat down he could feel the tension between him and Dean even though they had not properly met each other through all the years at the same high school.
