Chapter One - In the Beginning

May 17, 1995

"Alright kids I'd like you to welcome a new student to our class today, he has just moved to the neighbourhood so I want everybody to be nice and make him feel welcome here at Truman High. Sam? Would you like to come to the front and introduce yourself?"

"With all due respect Miss Rogers I don't think I'll be here very long so I don't think there's much of a point."

He was tall for his age; Sam that is. Not extremely tall but taller than the other boys. Good looking too; well Kate thought so anyway. She was curious about him, this new boy who thought he wouldn't last very long here. Maybe he has a terminal illness, or perhaps he travels a lot with his family or maybe is even one of those 'nice on the outside but evil on the inside' kids who would do something to get expelled by the end of the week. No. He seems like too much of a nice kid to get expelled. He doesn't look sick either so maybe it's the family thing. He turned around all of a sudden and caught Kate looking at him but she couldn't bring herself to look away.

"Katherine Daniels! Do I need to ask you again? It's not that hard of a question."

"Sorry Miss, I was a little distracted. What was the question?"

"I can see that, pay attention child. What is the reciprocal of 8?"

"1/8."

"Good, which means that..."

Kate phased out again. She hated maths, it never was her strong point. She preferred ancient history, myths and legends and apparently gazing at Sam now, until he turned around again and started looking at her.

Riiiiiiinggggg

Finally the bell rang, she couldn't handle that intense stare off anymore. She had to get out of there.

"Hold on, excuse me?" Sam shouted down the hall way.

Reluctant to turn around just in case he wasn't even speaking to her, she kept on going a few paces until he called her name. Finally she turned her stiff body to face him, "ermm hi, it's Kate actually, Katherine sounds way to grown up for me."

"Oh sorry, I'm Sam, Sam Winchester"

"I know silly you were in my class" she laughed nervously "it's nice to meet you Sam".

"Right yeah duh" he returned the nervous laugher "It's nice to meet you too. You definitely don't sound American though."

"Good spotting haha, I'm not I'm actually British. I was born in London and grew up there but we moved two years ago for my dad's new job."

"Oh cool what does he do?"

"Well he died alongside my mother 8 months ago in a car accident, so he doesn't really work anymore."

"Oh I'm so sorry".

"It's fine, I'm living with some aunt that didn't even know I existed until I was sprung upon her. I think it's safe to say that she can't wait until I'm 18 and get the hell out of there."

"Wow that's gotta be tough. My mother's dead too, she died when I was just a baby. It's just me, my brother and my father now hitting the road, town to town doing various jobs."

"That's gotta be tough too. Never being able to truly settle down and make proper friends."

"Well I am now aren't I?"

"Aren't you what?"

"Making a proper friend?"

She cracked a smile and looked down at her feet in fear she may start blushing but it was too late for that.

"Kate are you blushing? I'm not that special." Sam said jokingly.

"Nah you're pretty cool so far. I've gotta get to know you better first and then I'll be the judge of that".

"Alright deal. What about a movie tomorrow night then as a start?"

"Haha okay why the heck not? And I promise I won't get as deep and emotional next time."
