New Beginnings
Chapter One
On the outskirts of Brookfield, Fairfield County, Connecticut, a boarding school that had been devoid of students from June to September was now beginning to show signs of life once again.
Groups of friends were greeting with hugs and some couples were greeting with a lot more than hugs. The group who'd named themselves Team Free Will for the fact they did things their way, not everyone else's, were all greeting with embraces and as they broke into their couples, they shared kisses and hugs. Dean Winchester was his usual self, alone and looking out for the first notch-on-the-bedpost of the year. He scanned over the scores of girls and grinned. Someone would be lucky enough to be his first this year. Maybe he'd be their first in their lives. It was very rare for that to happen though. He wasn't a fan of virgins really.
Jo Harvelle and Ash Wilson didn't greet one another for very long since they barely lived a ten minute drive apart and therefore had seen each other all summer. Crowley Talbot and Ruby Masters made out like horny animals, never letting go even when their kisses had ended. Castiel Novak and Anna Milton shared a soft kiss and blushed a little. The group was determined that those two would choose this year to do it. After being together since middle school, it seemed appropriate to mark the final year of boarding school with their first time. Gabriel Novak, Castiel's cousin on his father's side, was currently giving his girlfriend Kali Simon flirty looks and dirty kisses, while Balthazar Adler and Samantha Monroe (or Sammie, as everyone affectionately named her) couldn't leave each other alone. They'd barely seen each other what with Balthazar's parents taking him travelling all summer.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, check this one out..." Dean grinned, everyone looking around to where his gaze was focused, "You see her with the ginger hair?"
"That's auburn, you dumbass." Jo snapped, looking at the girl who looked completely lost.
Her blue eyes looked a little tearful, her beige jacket was fastened tightly around her body while she dragged her cases with her, looking to be struggling. Her curls blew in the breeze, wrapping around her pale face as she turned her head to look around her. She looked scared, nervous, lost and confused at the same time. The group immediately felt bad for her.
"New girl?" Ruby asked, giggling as Crowley kissed her temple and held her around the waist, "She looks kinda scared."
"Wouldn't you be, coming to this place and not knowing anyone?" Samantha asked, "Poor girl, I bet she's terrified."
"Should we go over?" Castiel asked, earning a shake of the head from everyone, "Don't let Dean go over there."
"Let's just wait until she gets settled in." Crowley suggested, "I hope she doesn't run into Michael and that lot."
The girl, Melody Holmes, stood looking at all the people around her and feeling nervous at the thought of who could be her roommate or in her classes. She was mad at her parents for just changing schools when she'd only just settled in to her previous school. It had taken her almost three years to settle there and now she had to do it all over again. Feeling anxious, intimidated, and quite frankly frightened, she sat herself on the school steps, waiting to be let in.
After receiving a lesson schedule and her room key, Melody headed towards the elevator finding the second floor. The ground and first floor were all classrooms and bathrooms, whereas the second, third and fourth floors were the dorms. More like mini apartments. But as Melody unlocked her door she gasped as she found a girl with wavy dark brown hair, so dark it was almost black, and bright green eyes, her blue t-shirt with white lining and a white star on it slid half way up her stomach as she rested in the lap of a blonde guy who was kissing her neck.
"Oh..." Melody breathed, "Sorry..."
The pair broke apart, looking at Melody who was flushing with embarrassment, standing there awkwardly. The girl stood, brushing herself down and approaching Melody with her hand outstretched.
"I'm Samantha Monroe...Or Sammie as everyone calls me..." She chuckled softly, "This is my boyfriend, Balthazar Adler."
Melody shook the girl's hand and then the guy's, pulling her cases into the room.
"I'm Melody." She said shyly, "Melody Holmes."
"Nice to meet you." Samantha said softly, "Um, your rooms the right one..."
"Thanks." Melody smiled, blushing and pulling her case across the living space to the bedroom, which she saw was a light shade of pink.
She closed the door, opening her cases and beginning to unpack her things. Outside in the main room, Samantha covered her eyes with her hand as Balthazar took her other in his own, both of them feeling slightly embarrassed by what they'd just been caught doing.
"No more sofa make-outs for a while, Balthy." She said softly, earning a smile from her boyfriend.
"Never mind, sweetie." He said, London accent present as ever as he kissed her head tenderly, "You'd better go and make her feel welcome. She looks like a shy little thing, doesn't she."
"Yeah, she does. Poor girl." Samantha replied, "Remember when we first started and what it was like? How scary it was?"
"Yeah." Balthazar sighed, "We've been apart too long, my darling."
"I know, I know..." Samantha agreed, "We'll have some time a little later, huh? We never have lessons for the first week back so...Plenty of time..."
"Yep. Plenty of time." He said softly, both of them breathing heavily as they stared at each other.
He couldn't stop himself pulling her back into one more passionate kiss which she just melted into. She'd missed him so much since they'd finished the previous year of school. They'd had one week at the beginning of summer and because they knew Balthazar was going travelling all summer, and they'd spent the week together at his house, and made love every night. They wouldn't do it again for the rest of summer so his parents had made allowances. Young love and all that.
When they broke apart, Balthazar stroked her cheek for a moment, going towards the door.
"Love you, Sammie." He told her, earning a smile from his girl.
"Love you too, honey." She replied, watching him walk out of the room and close the door behind him.
The positive of the situation was she could help the new girl settle in, and now she had most of the year with Balthazar and her friends. She headed over to Melody's room, knocking on the door gently and waiting for a response.
"C-Come in..."
She opened the door and smiled at the girl who was packing her clothes away.
"Hi. Would you like some help?"
Melody looked quite frankly grateful for the offer and she smiled tiredly and for a moment, Samantha could've sworn there were tears in her eyes.
"That would be great." She said softly, "Thank you, Sammie."
Samantha approached the bed where her cases were open and began to help her new roommate pack her belongings away.
