First year of college. First day, registration. No need to look into the dorms, or off campus housing. Not for Lex, at any rate. She had a house. As always on the first day, flyers were handed out. Advertising the clubs, the parties, the fraternities and sororities. She wasn't really interested, but it was easier to just take the flyers in silence.

And as always there was more than one flyer against homosexuals. Rallies, clubs and of course a call that if you saw or suspected any homosexual activity, to report it to the Dean of the school immediately, or even to the police. She shook her head a little as she leafed through them, but held onto all the fliers. Throwing out any of them would be suspicious, and in a lot of people's eyes, harboring homosexuals was just as bad, if not worse than being one.

As she was walking to pick up her schedule, she bumped into someone. He was taller than her, with dark hair and amazing blue eyes. "Oh, sorry..!" she said, picking up the fliers she had dropped and shuffling them back together. She frowned at how the "ANTI-GAY CLUB" flier was on top, and shuffled the stack so one advertising the "party at alpha-kappa" was on top instead. "I guess I wasn't watching…"

He smiled and shook his head. "No, my fault.. .I've gotten turned around, I think…" he paused to look at the map that he was holding it, turning it a couple of times, but the look of confusion on his face remained steady. "I need the East-wing table, thats where I'm registering…"

"Oh, well.. lucky we bumped then," Lex said, her light gray eyes meeting he boy's blue. "That's where I'm heading, too," she smiled. "Why don't we head over together?"

"Sounds like a plan," the boy said with a nod, before holding out his hand. "I'm Castiel, by the way," he said, his blue eyes dancing. "Castiel Novak,"

Lex took his hand with a smile and shook. "Alexandretta Crane, but everyone just calls me Lex," she added.

"Nice to meet you, Lex," Castiel said with a nod. "Lead the way to East-wing table," he added, throwing out his arm in an almost sarcastic manner.

She laughed, already liking this boy. What was more was since registration was at the same table, there was a very good chance that they would have a lot of similar classes. "So, what track are you in?" she asked as they walked, making sure to remain close to him. She was very short, after all.

Castiel looked at her as they walked for a moment. "Biology, minoring in Psychology" he said. "Ever since I was younger I've just loved living things, and always wanted to learn more about that, and people…. the way some people think puzzles me…" he added, trailing off slightly. "…what about you?" he asked, shaking the thoughts that started to bloom in his head.

"I'm here on a gymnastics scholarship, actually," she said with a small smile. "But I'm taking some gen ed courses, too until I figure out what my minor will be. Similar to you, biology, psychology. Also archeology, too." she added. "I like older things,"

"Sounds impressive," he said as he stuck his hands in his pockets. As they walked, Castiel's eyes met another boys. He was taller than him, with light hair and green eyes, wearing an old leather jacket. Castiel and this boy shared a smile before his eyes went back ahead of him.

No one had seen, right?

Castiel was broken form his stupor when Lex's voice reached his ears. "Annnd here we are. I didn't even lead you astray or anything," she added with a small smirk as she looked up him.

Castiel just chuckled and shook his head a little as they stood in line together. There weren't too many people in front of them. When they did reach the front, Castiel received the usual pamphlet, including details on his dorm and where it was, as well as they usual added insert about *stamping out the homosexual problem*. Well that was going in the trash as soon as he got home… He looked to Lex as they stepped away, an noticed her packet didn't have information on a dorm. "You not living on campus?" he asked.

Lex shook her head. "My house isn't far at all from campus, so I'd rather just stay there," she said. "Let's see if we have any classes together," she added, and the two of them went to the nearest bench to compare. They had quite a few classes together. The main electives were different, seeing as Lex's were all for her gymnastics scholarship, though they did have a 'free art' class together. "We could probably be study buddies," Lex joked and it made Castiel laugh.

"I wouldn't mind that," he said before suddenly flinching. "hey.." he said, looking behind him. "..the hell.."

Behind him was the boy he had seen before, and he was smiling broadly, flashing a little of his teeth. "Excuse me miss, I hope Cas is not bothering you at all," he said, his green eyes dancing.

She shook her head with a smirk. "Not at all, we were looking over our schedules… I guess you two know each other," she added.

Castiel sighed and pinched his brow. What was he doing… someone might see…. "Lex, this is Dean Winchester, we're friends from high school," he said with a sigh. "Dean, this is Lex Crane, new friend." he added.

That made Lex smile a little more as she and Dean shook hands. "Nice to meet you, Dean," she said with a nod.

"Likewise, Lex," Dean said as he withdrew his hand, flashing a charming smile.

"You get your schedule, Dean?" Castiel asked, looking at the green-eyed boy that was still behind him.

Dean pulled the sheet out of the packet and showed him. "..No classes together this semester," he said as he looked from his own schedule to Castiel. "Though we do both have weekends and wednesdays off, so that's something at least," he muttered.

Castiel nodded in agreement. It was easier in high school. Free period always the same, they could always duck out. College was going to make things tricky, but they had gone to the same school to make sure it could work out…. "Yeah. Never liked the idea of losing touch with high school friends just because of college," he said, tucking his schedule back in the packet.

Dean's voice broke Castiel from his stupor. "Alright i gotta go. Sammy's gonna be done class soon. So, see you later," he said. He was able to resist what he wanted, and instead clapped Cas on the shoulder. "Nice meeting you, little darlin'," he added with a slight wink to Lex before walking off to his car. The engine of the old impala roared to life as he drove off.

Lex watched him leave before standing from the bench. "I need to stop by the school bookstore to get my books, sort of put it off last minute," she added with a small laugh. "I'll see you in class on monday, Castiel," she said before waving.

Castiel waved back, nodding with a small smile as he said, "Yeah, see you,". After a few moments he stood, his packet tucked under his arm as he decided to make his way to his dorm room to see what it was like.

His shoulder still tingled from where Dean had clapped him.
