Welcome to my new series! Benny/Samandriel are the main pairing with Dean and Cas in the background. I love my readers but asking me to add more Destiel isn't gonna work for this series, just letting you know!
I have no problems in other people's faiths, as long as you believe in something that's all that matters to me. But when it turns into preaching or trying to shove another into that faith...then I have a problem. This is just a warning for Samandriel's very...relaxed version of practicing his faith lol.
"Samandriel...you behave yourself while at school tomorrow. I will not tolerate any foolishness," the nasally voice called out from behind him. 17 year old Samandriel just rolled his eyes before giving a beaming smile to his uncle over his shoulder.
"Of course Uncle," he said politely. The tall beefy man stared at him with cold blue eyes before he gave him a curt nod, turning on his heel to disappear down the hall. Samandriel sighed heavily and slumped back into his computer chair. Tomorrow was the start of his senior year...and it was a brand new school. His loving but pretty naive parents thought a change would do him some good. Get him away from the usual bullies and open up a bit before going away to college.
Because living with a domineering pastor would totally help with that. He'd been living under Zachariah's and Naomi's roof for a few weeks now. It didn't take long at all for him to realize just how strict these people were. They firmly believed in reading the bible for 2 hours each day for "enlightenment"and bed time was promptly at 9:30. Samandriel was going to go nuts living here but it was only for a year and then, he'd be free. He was already planning on sending his applications to NYU and other schools along the east coast. The farther he got away from the Miltons...the happier he'd be.
"You ready for your first day at school tomorrow?" Anna, his younger cousin asked from his doorway. He turned to smile at her and beckoned her closer. Out of all of them, he bonded with his two female cousins the most. There were three children in total, Hannah the oldest, then Malachi and lastly Anna. Hannah always laughed and claimed her parents just lost the effort for names when they named her youngest sister. The girls were fun, light hearted and Samandriel never felt like his skin itched when he was around them. Malachi was completely different...there was a coldness to him. He had already started with teasing, making sure to keep it light around his parents. The second they left the room it would turn darker and more cruel. Samandriel tried to avoid him at all costs.
"Yes...are you? It's your first year in high school," He asked as she plopped down on the bed. She shrugged her small shoulders, a hand raising to flip some of her red hair over her shoulder.
"It's all the same to me...school. Just another prison," she said softly. Dark brown eyes raised towards the door before they dropped nervously, her hands wringing together in her lap. Samandriel frowned and turned in his seat to see Malachi sneering at them. He swallowed hard and waited for his cousin to leave. Malachi gave him a threatening look and pushed away from the door to head down the hall for his own room. Samandriel quickly got up and closed it with a loud click; he hurried over and sat next to Anna, wrapping his arm around her shoulder's.
"I agree," he whispered.
Samandriel stared up at the walls of Kripke High School with a frown...it really was just another prison. Two stories of dark brick towered over him and he swallowed hard. He had been pushed down the stairs quite a few times in his old high school back in Oklahoma...he hoped he didn't have many classes on the top floor. The school was pretty small, from what he could see. A circular drive for drop offs and the main building in the middle with maybe a couple separate buildings surrounding it. There was the usual football field, that looked far better in condition then the rest of the school. Figures. There was a rather huge building to the right of the school and Samandriel prayed that it was the arts building.
He was about to take a step towards the doors when a rumbling noise caught his attention. It got louder and when he turned around he noticed several other kids pointing towards a beautiful sleek black car pulling up. The doors opened and a tall older boy with dark blonde hair got out, his hand reaching in to help another boy out. He had dark hair and a huge smile on his face. Samandriel gasped as the two shared a very soft tender kiss while another boy crawled out of the passenger side, playfully gagging and teasing the other two.
"You're just jealous Sammy!" The oldest said with a loud laugh. Samandriel couldn't stop staring at the couple...they touched and hugged with such a comfortable ease...and not one person called out any insults towards them.
"Whatever Jerk!" Sammy laughed throwing a wave at the two.
"Have a good day Bitch!" the oldest grinned. He tried to tear his eyes away but he continued to watch the couple share another kiss before the dark haired boy slipped away from him, black rimmed glasses appearing on his face as he walked up the steps. A bell rang out and Sammy, who was only a few feet away from him now turned and waited for the other.
"Cas come on! We're gonna be late now!" he whined. Cas, the dark haired boy only smiled at him turning when his boyfriend whistled to gain his attention.
"Benny might be picking you guys up later!" he called out and the two boys waved at him. The loud rumble nearly echoing off the walls as it peeled out of the parking lot. Samandriel licked his dry lips and glanced over at the two boys who were laughing and teasing each other. A brunette girl bounced over to them and Sammy pecked her cheek before taking her hand. He opened his mouth to say something when he caught Samandriel looking over at them.
Samandriel blushed and jerked his eyes away, his hands fumbling with his schedule...he had meant to try and find his first class but that plan had failed miserably. Hannah even offered to help him find but he refused that. Wanting to find his own way. So stupid. There was a warmth at his side and he glanced up, only to jump and yelp when he saw a pair of piercing blue eyes close to his face.
"Sorry...Castiel has...personal space issues," Sammy chuckled, yanking his friend back a few steps, "I'm Sam Winchester, this is my best friend Castiel Novak and my girlfriend Sarah. You new here?" he asked with a friendly smile. Castiel grinned and bumped Sam with his shoulder.
"Yes...I-I'm Samandriel..." he stammered. Castiel's smile widened, his fingers pushing up his glasses.
"Named after an angel too?" he asked and his voice made Samandriel's eyes bulge. It was rough and gravelly...and deep. If he had been his type...Samandriel may have had an embarrassing moment. The guy was amazingly gorgeous with hair that looked like that older boy had run his fingers through it all morning and the most...intense blue eyes Samandriel had ever seen. His own were pretty...but they were a grayish blue. And his hair could never look that good...or sexy. It was brown and just sat on his head with a flop. He wanted to be jealous of Castiel but, that smile made him just crave for this boy to be his friend.
"Yeah...I hate it...no one can even guess how to spell it...or pronounce it," Samandriel smiled. Castiel barked out a laugh that made Sam and Sarah chuckle.
"My first day here I was called Castella quite a few times...which is why I mostly go by Cas now," he said shaking his head.
"Are you kidding me? You only went by that because Dean thought your name was a mouthful," Sarah giggled. Cas blushed and shrugged his shoulders with a little grin on his face.
Sam rolled his eyes and must have seen the confusion on his face, "Dean's my older brother and Castiel's boyfriend. The dude you saw dropping us off. He graduated last year...which was a freaking miracle! All because he wanted to impress the new hottie at the school," Sam teased. Cas only shrugged again, the grin growing softer at the mention of the older boy. Samandriel wanted to learn more about this little group and went to ask but another bell set off. A mutual groan sounded off and he found himself being ushered inside with them.
"What's your first class?" Cas asked snatching up his schedule, he frowned and gave him a sorry look.
"Not with me, but Sam and Sarah can show you where it is...I'm clear on the other side of the building. I'll see you later!" Cas said and waved before trotting off. Sam took up his schedule and nodded before handing it back.
"You're right next to us...I'm sorry you got Mr. Roman though...he's a bit..."
"Dickish," Sarah quipped with a snort. Samandriel knew he was missing the joke but followed them anyway. He said a quiet good bye to them and entered his homeroom, which was government. It really didn't take long to finally get the joke...or the double meaning once class started. He just shrank down and tried to not bring much attention to himself.
Samandriel went through his classes, keeping to himself mostly. He had hoped that his cousins or...maybe someone from that little group he had met would be in at least one of them. It wasn't until his lunch hour came around...that he caught sight of Malachi. He felt his stomach drop and he froze; his cousin was tormenting a boy who looked to be maybe a freshman. Malachi and his friends were sitting around him at a table, his cousin's arm slung around his shoulders. Samandriel swallowed hard and found his oldest cousin Hannah glaring at her brother...but not doing anything to stop him. For all Samandriel knew...she had tried and only made it worse.
There was a loud noise and he jumped when he saw Sam stomping right up to his cousin, getting right in his face while Cas grabbed the poor kid's hand, yanking him away from the group. Something he couldn't understand was said and Malachi just sneered.
"All you Winchester's are the same...scum...you'll end up just like your daddy," Malachi laughed. Sam's face scrunched up in anger and went to fly at him but Cas was there again, pulling him back. He whispered something in his ear and Sam visibly calmed down, allowing for his friend to lead him towards their own table. The scene only lasted a few minutes but Samandriel still felt a little shaken.
He had been tormented like that at his last school and though he really didn't get along with Malachi it made him feel disgusted to know that was his own family. He gripped onto his tray and hurried past his cousin, only stopping when someone called out to him. He turned to see Castiel waving him over and he almost went to them when he felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end.
Malachi was glaring at him with so much heat, his skin burned and he quickly ran out the doors to hide possibly in a corner. If he sat with the wrong people he'd have to deal with this at home...and it was already bad enough there.
Once he found a quiet spot he sunk down and let his tray drop to his side, his appetite completely gone. He pulled his knees up to his chest and rested his forehead on his arms, taking in slow breaths to calm his already frantic beating heart. The people he so badly wanted to be friends with...were already enemies of his cousin, who he had to live with.
Oh yeah, this school year was really going to be different. Only, the bully this time lived in the same house.
