high school classroom
somewhere in East Tennessee
Cassie laughed with her group of friends as the class clown, Brad Chance, made an elaborate scene of asking the honors chem teacher to marry him. Mrs. Collins simply pointed to Brad's empty seat next to Cassie and tried to look disapproving, but she failed to keep the corners of her mouth from turning up.
Cassie noted that Mrs. Collins cheeks were flushed and her eyes seemed a little brighter. It had to be terribly ego boosting to have a handsome eighteen year old making mooneyes at you when you're in your forties (even if it is just for pretend).
Cassie shared a grin with Brad as he took his seat. Mrs. Collins waited for the class to calm before returning to the lesson. As she turned back to the white board and continued to write notes Brad leaned over to Cassie. "Check that out, Cassie. Iron Will didn't so much as crack a smile," he whispered in her ear.
Cassie looked out of the corner of her eye at 'Iron Will' Willa. The tall, dark-eyed brunette hadn't even paused in her note taking. Brad heaved a sigh as he slumped back in his seat. Cassie couldn't help but feel sorry for Brad and his hopeless crush on the school's loner.
Cassie had at one time been friends with Willa. Seven years ago when Cassie first moved to this little podunk town Willa had been the only one to befriend the new girl. Then when the next school year started Cassie suddenly found herself apart of the popular click... but not Willa. She didn't fit into the mold like Cassie did.
Willa was always quite and constantly had a book with her. Whereas Cassie kept up with the latest celeb news and had designer clothes from shopping trips to New York and L.A with her mother. So when Cassie gained new friends the pair drifted apart. Cassie still felt that phantom twinge of guilt for abandoning Willa.
Brad had moved to Tennessee a little over three years ago from Wyoming. His humor and rugged good looks had instantly found him a place amongst Cassie's crowd of friends. His warm heart and honesty had wormed it's way into Cassie's heart and before either knew it they had become best friends.
Cassie had first noticed Brad's secret crush during a school football game nearly a year ago. Both of Cassie's and Brad's parents had volunteered to run the concession stand. So the pair of teenagers were left to walk around the field and interact with the band in the parking lot as they prepped for half time.
Up until the moment Cassie had spotted Willa speaking with a younger boy as he fiddled with his trombone she had completely forgotten Willa had younger siblings. Clearly from the flushed freshman's face Willa was teasing her younger brother, but they both grinned and laughed as he made some comeback. Willa's whole face had lit up when she laughed and her dark brown eyes held a twinkle that Cassie noticed she didn't have during school.
Brad's sharp intake of breath had Cassie looking at him concerned. He appeared completely starstruck. At that moment Cassie knew with a certainty of a woman's intuition that Brad had fallen head over heels for Willa. All it had taken was a single laugh from a quite girl he barely noticed and he was gone.
Cassie smiled at the memory and promised herself that she'd find a way to fix Brad and 'Iron Will' Willa Winchester up before graduation. Nothing short of hell on earth was going to stop her...
A/N: It's my first fanfiction. So all constructive criticism is warmly welcomed. All flames with be used to roast marshmallows for smores. ;)
Before anyone asks- Yes, future chapters will be longer. Yes, this will eventually be a sis fic and Willa is it. No, it will not be entirely situated around Cassie. Dean and Sam will be making an appearance possibly next chapter.
