It was the last week in August when Kara, John, and Dean moved into the apartment. All the stuff they'd left at Bobby's had been packed up and brought to Philadelphia. Most of it had been moved in like the beds and dressers, leaving the boxes of small stuff.
While Dean and John were in the apartment fixing some things up, Kara went down to the Impala to grab a box out of the car. She grabbed it out of the back seat and made her way back inside. She stood in the elevator and pushed the button with a small three on it and leaned her head back against the wall as the elevator closed and took her up to the third floor. The doors opened too soon and Kara made her way out of the elevator. As she moved out, she bumped into someone and dropped the box, some of the items spilling out.
"Son of a bitch." Kara said, picking up some of the objects and throwing them into the box.
"Sorry, I didn't look where I was going." One of the two figures above her said, helping her.
"Neither was I." Kara said, picking up the box and looked at a boy with dark blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
"I'm Jack. Jack Hunter." The boy said.
"And I'm Shawn." The other figure said. Kara turned to him and gasped. He had short dark brown hair and sky blue eyes. Kara couldn't help but stare and noticed that he was staring back.
"What's your name?" The first, Jack asked.
"Kara." Dean yelled from the apartment that was about two doors down.
"That would be me." Kara said, rolling her eyes. "I've gotta go but I'll see you around." With that, Kara spared Shawn one last glance before walking into the apartment.
"Ka.." Dean started to call again as she walked in.
"I'm right here De." Kara said, carrying a box up the small stairs to the next landing and walked toward her room.
"What took so long?" Dean asked, following her.
"I dropped the box." Kara answered as she put it on her dresser.
"That was clumsy of you." Dean teased.
"Bite me, I'm allowed to be clumsy once in a while when my life isn't in danger." Kara said, putting some of the stuff in the box away around her new room. Dean watched protectively from the door with his arms crossed and leaned against the door frame. Kara could feel him watching her and rolled her eyes.
"Dean, I'm fine. Go away." Kara said as nice as she could. Dean just stayed there and gave her the same look. "Dean, I swear I will castrate you if you don't leave."
"Bye." Dean said, turning and leaving her room. Kara smirked, that threat always worked with him.
An hour later after Kara had all her stuff put away, she went out to the kitchen where John and Dean were talking in hushed voices.
"Don't tell me you guys got a hunt." Kara said, grabbing a Pepsi out of the fridge.
"We'll be back tonight." John promised.
"I don't gotta go, right?" Kara asked.
"No you don't have to this time." John said, making Kara smile. "Not since you start school tomorrow." That made Kara's smile drop slightly. It was true that she had wanted to go to school like a normal person but she didn't feel like waking up at five thirty in the morning.
"Alright, just remember." Kara took a sip of her soda before speaking up again. "Don't die." That had become the family motto over the past few years, at least to her.
"We won't. You be careful here. Lock the doors and salt the doors and windows." John said, walking over to his daughter.
"Will do." Kara nodded as John kissed the top of her head.
"Don't do something stupid." Dean said as they moved toward the door.
"Who do I look like, you?" Kara asked, smirking. Dean just shot her a glare before walking out the door with John. Kara sighed and looked around the apartment, trying to figure out what she should eat. She couldn't find anything she had the patience to make so she grabbed the bag of peanut m&ms that Dean had been eating before he left. Kara took it into her room and munched on them for a few minutes before she decided she should get some sleep. She changed into her pajamas and laid down on her bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
The next morning, Kara took a shower and grabbed a Monster from the fridge. She found John fast asleep in his room and Dean crashed on the couch. She smirked and saw his car keys sitting a few inches away. She knew she'd be dead when she got home but couldn't help it. She picked up the keys with her monster in her other hand and quietly walked out of the apartment. She walked over to the elevator and bumped into someone, but didn't spill any of her energy drink. She looked up and saw Shawn standing there.
"You know, there's an easier way to talk to someone without bumping into them." Kara told him, smirking.
"If I remember, you're the one who never paid attention to where she was going." Shawn shot back.
"Touché." Kara said, making the both of them laugh. "You goin to school?"
"Yeah. You starting at John Adams?" Shawn asked.
"Yep. Senior." Kara smirked.
"I'm a senior there." Shawn said, smiling.
"So you driving there?" Kara asked.
"No, bus." Shawn said, sighing.
"Well, if you want, I kinda stole my brother's keys." Kara smirked, holding them up as the elevator door opened and they walked out, heading for the street. "Want a ride?"
"Sure." Shawn said as they walked out of the apartment complex. "Which is his?"
"His baby's right there." Kara said, walking to the drivers side of the Impala.
"Awesome ass car." Shawn said, sliding into the passenger seat.
"Yeah. Don't mess it up or you'll be dead. Literally." Kara said, starting the car and pulling away, taking a sip of her monster as she sped in the direction of the school.
"Who the hell taught you to drive?" Shawn asked.
"Dean." Kara smirked, parking the car in the lot and walking to the front door with her schedule in her hand. "I gotta head to class, I'll see you later." Kara walked away from Shawn but she could feel his eyes watching her walk away. She looked down at her schedule and made her way to her first class, English. She slept through most of it, the whole class just boring. Her next class was art which Kara didn't sleep through. She still loved sketching though her father didn't know and Dean thought she quit years ago. Her physics class put her to sleep too, she wasn't really a science person. She didn't really need to hear about the laws of physics when she'd been aware of them for years since she started hunting. After Physics, Kara made her way to history. When she first walked in, she saw Shawn sitting in the back of the middle row with a curly haired boy in front of him who was talking to a blonde that was in front of him. Smirking to herself, she leaned down and put her lips close to Shawn's ear.
"Boo." She smirked as he shivered and jumped. She just smiled innocently as she took a seat to his left.
"Kara, you scared the hell out of me." Shawn said, taking a breath.
"Me? What did I do?" Kara asked innocently as the bell rang.
"Good morning. I'm Mr. Feeny for those of you who don't know." A short gray haired guy said, standing behind the desk.
"Of course we know you Mr. Feeny. You've been teaching us since we were kids." Shawn said, making most of the kids in the class laugh.
"Hysterical Mr. Hunter." Mr. Feeny said sarcastically.
"I thought so." Shawn said, leaning back in his chair. Kara smirked and rolled her eyes. Mr. Feeny started taking attendance. She found out the guy who kept turning around to talk to Shawn was Cory Matthews and the girl Cory talked to in the beginning of class was Topanga Lawrence. Kara had to stiffle a laugh at her name. Luckily no one heard her.
"Kara Winchester." Mr. Feeny called.
"Yeah." Kara looked up from her phone that she had hidden in her backpack. She had been texting Sam who had just woken up an hour earlier with the time difference it seemed weird. She told Sam she took the impala and Sam told her she was going to get her ass beat but she just laughed as she read it.
"What's so funny?" Shawn asked while Mr. Feeny was talking.
"Nothing." Kara said, shaking her head.
"Come on, tell me." Shawn said, looking at her with wide puppy dog eyes that could give her and Sam a run for their money.
"My brother Sam just told me that Dean was gonna kill me for stealing his car." Kara answered. The bell rang signaling the end of class and Kara looked down at her schedule that told her she had lunch this period.
"Going to lunch?" Shawn asked.
"Yea." Kara nodded.
"Then follow me, I'll make sure you get there okay." Shawn smirked and Kara walked beside him as they made their way to the cafeteria. Kara wasn't really hungry so she didn't grab anything to eat, neither did Shawn. He just led her to a table with Topanga and Cory already sitting there, giving each other small kisses.
"Okay, knock it off, I'm here." Shawn said, sitting across from Cory. They broke apart and looked at Shawn and Kara who just sat down beside him. "By the way, this is Kara."
"Hey." Kara smiled weakly.
"Hey, I'm Topanga and that's Cory." Topanga spoke up, smiling.
"Hey." Cory spoke up.
"Where are you from?" Topanga asked.
"A lot of places." Kara answered, looking down at her phone. She hated when people asked her questions like that. She got a text from Sam that held a picture with him and a blonde girl who Sam had told her was Jess. Apparently Sam really liked her. She smiled and sent him a message saying she was pretty and that she should just ask her out.
"Talkin to your boyfriend?" Topanga asked.
"Brother." Kara answered, putting her phone away.
"Still talking to Sam?" Shawn asked.
"Well knowing Dean's lazy ass, he's prolly still asleep." Kara answered as her phone vibrated again. She flipped open her phone and found a text from Dean, reading 'Where the fuck is my car.' "Nevermind, Dean's awake." Kara said, closing her phone, choosing not to answer him back.
"What did he say?" Shawn asked.
"Where the fuck's my car." Kara answered, smirking.
"You stole your brother's car?" Topanga asked.
"I didn't steal it. I'm borrowing without asking. There is a difference." Kara answered.
"No, they're the same thing." Cory told her.
"Not in my family." Kara smirked and looked back down at her phone. Sam had answered her back, telling her to shut up. Kara answered by telling him she was his little sister, she was supposed to annoy him. The bell rang and Kara stood up.
"Dude, I don't want to go to Calculus. Stupid fuckin math." Kara said mostly to herself. Cory and Topanga seemed surprised at her language, but Shawn just laughed.
"Who do you have?" Shawn asked. Kara looked down at her schedule and sighed.
"I don't fuckin know how to say that, it starts with a p though." Kara shrugged.
"I have him too. I'll show you where the class is." Shawn said before saying goodbye to Cory and Topanga and walking with Kara to class.
"So I'm gonna take a guess and say that Cory and Topanga are going out." Kara said as they walked through the halls toward their class.
"They've been going out since they were fuckin one." Shawn answered, making Kara laugh.
"That's a long ass time." Kara said, walking into the class and taking a seat in the back.
"Yeah, they're in love." Shawn said, sounding a little skeptic at the thought of love.
"They're too young." Kara said, leaning back in the seat as the bell rang.
"Fuck math." Kara said, walking out of the class with all the books she'd been given from all her classes. She walked toward the direction of her locker with Shawn beside her. "And fuck all these books." She opened the small locker and tossed the books in there without a care.
"Hey, you hungry?" Shawn asked as Kara slammed her locker closed.
"Why?" Kara asked.
"Because they're a place called Chubby's where a lot of people hang out. They've also got great burgers." Shawn told her.
"Alright, I guess I might as well have a little more fun since I'm gonna be dead once I get home." Kara said, walking out of the school with Shawn behind her.
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Cory asked.
"Chubby's." Shawn answered.
"Mind if we go?" Topanga asked.
"Whatever." Kara answered, walking over to the Impala. "Just hop in and don't fuck with anything cause I don't want Dean to kill me, bring me back, and kill me again." Kara slid into the driver seat and started the car as Shawn got into the passenger seat and Cory and Topanga slid into the back. Kara quickly backed out of the parking spot and sped off in the direction Shawn directed her in.
"Who taught you to drive?" Both Topanga and Cory asked after they got to Chubby's and Kara parked the car.
"Dean." Kara answered, getting out of the car and walking into the small hangout. She walked down the steps and was led by Shawn to a booth in the corner. Cory and Topanga sat on one side while Shawn and Kara sat on the other.
"So what do you want?" Shawn asked.
"I don't care. Whatever you suggest." Kara answered. Shawn nodded and got up with Cory and went to order while Kara and Topanga stayed at the table. Kara looked down at her phone to see if Sam answered her back yet but found her inbox full of messages from Dean, wanting his car back.
"So do you like Shawn?" Topanga asked.
"Wh-What?" Kara asked, looking up.
"Do you like Shawn. I mean, you talked to him all during history and you did drive him to school and now you're hanging out with him." Topanga said.
"He lives in the same building as me, on the same floor. I bumped into him yesterday and today we were both standing by the elevator so I decided it would be nice to offer a ride, that's it." Kara answered. Topanga nodded, but gave her a skeptical look. Shawn and Cory came back a few minutes later, each carrying burgers, fries, and sodas.
"Thanks." Kara said, taking a bite out of the burger before her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller id and saw it was Dean. "Oh fuck." She muttered, silencing the phone so it stopped ringing loudly.
"What's the matter?" Shawn asked.
"Dean. I know he's about to bitch about the car." Kara said, eating a few fries before the phone stopped lighting up, telling her that Dean hung up. A few minutes later after she finished her burger, her phone started ringing again. Kara sighed and answered it.
"Hello." Kara said, waiting for the yelling to start.
"Kara Nicole, where the fuck is my car!" Dean yelled so loudly, she was sure everyone in Chubbys could hear.
"Your car is with me, don't worry." Kara said calmly.
"Don't worry. You stole my fuckin car!" Dean yelled.
"Yeah, and unless you calm your ass I'm gonna key it." Kara said, raising her voice slightly.
"Don't even think about it." Dean said in a low growl.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." With that, Kara hung up and sighed. "I gotta go."
"We heard..ow." Cory said as Topanga elbowed him in the side.
"I'll see you guys later if I don't die." Kara said, getting out of the booth and walking up the steps to the street and got into the Impala. She made a u-turn and hurried back to the apartment.
"Kara, you're so dead." Dean yelled.
"What, you're baby's fine. Besides, you were supposed to drive me to school but it looked like you guys got in late so I let you sleep. Sorry for being considerate." Kara said, tossing the keys at Dean and walking to her room.
"Kara, don't even play innocent." Dean said, following her.
"Dean, I am tired and all I want to do is sleep so unless you want me to beat you, leave me alone." When she finished, she slammed the door and locked it before walking over to her bed and laying down. She remembered the question Topanga asked her, if she liked Shawn. Truth was, he was cute and he was nice and Kara did have a small crush on him. But she didn't know if she'd be able to have a boyfriend. Not with the way her life was, she'd just put him in constant danger. Kara pushed those thoughts out of her mind and fell asleep, thinking about the boy who she couldn't get out of her head.
Sorry it took so long to get up. I mean, school started and I met a guy who I really like so yeah, i've been kind of preoccupied. But I'll try to update more often. Leave reviews and tell me what you think.
