Good morning Lawrence, Kansas! Get up it's the first day of school, don't be a slob, don't get a job. Just get to class you can pass! And to start off the day off nice and fine, we're gonna play a new old favorite of mine.
"Heat of the Moment" was blaring through Dean's speakers as he got up for yet another day of school. After reluctantly rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he gave a small sigh for the start of the new year.
"Last year," Dean breathed. Finally getting dressed in a plain white t-shirt, jeans, boots, and his infamous Hunters jacket, he looked back on the clock and found that he only had 10 minutes left. "Sammy! Come on! We're gonna be late," Dean yelled in the house. His younger brother, Sam, replied with a loud groan as he made his sleepy way down the stairs. Like his brother he too was also wearing a Hunters jacket, but was wearing a red plaid shirt and jeans. Much to his dismay, Dean kept talking, and not very quietly in his opinion.
"Oh, I'm sorry Sleeping Beauty, did someone keep you up last night?" Dean cooed, watching Sam head towards the door. Dean knew full well Sam's predicament was caused by a late night session with his boyfriend, but it was fun to tease the younger one. Sam grumbled a quick curse before walking out the door. Dean rolled his eyes before following after him.
Walking up to the front entrance of the school was a nightmare. People bumping into each other, greeting each other, freshmen looking all confused the same old stuff. With a few minutes left for class, Sam and Dean waited by the corner of the school just watching people pass by. It was only until three people, wearing much similar jackets walked over to them catching them out of their gaze.
"Winchesters!"
"Benny!" Dean grinned seeing their other Hunter friends. Or as they say, Hunters: Dean and Sam Winchester, Benny Lafitte, and Kevin Tran, with one Huntress: Jo Harvelle.
"How ya doing brother," Benny said happily being reunited with all his fellow Hunters.
"Yea, whatcha two do all summer?" Kevin asked.
"Well, Sammy here pulled an all nighter with a certain angel," Dean said giving a teasing wink, earning a small punch from his younger brother. As the rest of the group shared their adventures from summer, all eyes went to Dean to figure out what he did over summer break.
"Come on Dean, tell us what happened, you said you went to the beach didn't you?" Kevin questioned.
"Yea Dean, how was the action there?" Benny asked suddenly very interested. Jo rolled her eyes at the whole quarrel, whispering 'freaking horndogs,' under her breath. "Then again, shouldn't be hard for girls to hang off of you, huh Dean?" Benny winked nudging his elbows into Dean's chest.
Dean gave a slight blush remembering his time at the beach, especially his memories with a certain blue-eyed man. "I mean, the beach was great, but I...I did meet this one guy, he was pretty cool I guess." Dean said rubbing the back of his head, trying to play it off cool. Sam, despite his tired mind smirked at his blushing brother knowing full well who he was talking about. It was no secret that Dean favored guys and girls alike, but his reputation never called for him being in anything long-term. However, this guy Castiel seemed to bring up a spark in him.
"Oh really, you spent that long with one person Dean? I'm impressed," Jo snorted.
"Hey, just because you couldn't hold down my sexy ass, doesn't mean someone else can't," Dean said smirking at Jo's reddening face. The other Hunters roared with laughter as they spent the rest of the time catching up, and waiting for the new year to finally start.
Meanwhile, a new blue-eyed student was making his first steps onto Lawrence High.
"Do I look okay Anna?" Castiel asked, his hands wrinkling and unwrinkling the bottom of his shirt for the 50th time that morning. From the minute Castiel moved to Kansas, he was to put it lightly, nervous. America was certainly different from Australia and he hoped he would make a good impression for his last year of high school. He even went out of his way to put on his favorite blue cardigan and black slacks hoping he might look 'normal'.
"Sure, you look great Castiel," Anna said with a warm smile, though it didn't ease Castiel's nerves. "You'll love it here in Lawrence."
"I liked the old school I was at," Castiel said with a sad sigh. "I wish I was there right now, giving me heartbreaks just thinking about it." Anna gave comforting look, before making their way into the school.
In the parking lot, another group of students were making their way into the new school year.
"Well guys, this is it," Gabriel taking a hefty sigh at the school.
"Yea, but now we're actually seniors," Balthazar said stepping out of the car, followed by Samandriel, also known as Alfie. Alfie gave a huge grin before chopping down on an Oreo. Balthazar turned to him looking in disgust. "Oh my lord Alfie, that's so adolescent."
"We are adolescents," Alfie giggled taking another huge bite into his snack.
"Yep, and we are going to rule this school," Gabriel smirked. "Come on guys, let's go getta 'em." Gabriel gave a quick smile before swaggering his way into the school. Putting on their Rebel Angels jackets, they were ready for a new year.
-Destiel is the Word-
After saying goodbye to Anna, Castiel became even more tense now that he was alone. Thankfully he made it to class without too much of a hassle. However, it didn't help that all eyes were on him for the majority of the class period. Thankfully the principal, Mrs. Harvelle, pulled their gazes away momentarily over the announcements.
"Good morning boys and girls, into what will hopefully become our greatest year at Lawrence High." Castiel only hoped his last year of high school would be okay. Coming to a new school was never easy, especially one that is outside of your home country. But nonetheless, at least he managed to make one new friend here.
"Saturday night will be our first pep rally, I want to see plenty of support for Coach Singer and the Lions. If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter. Now for one of the most exciting things to happen at Lawrence High." Some students paused their conversations in curiousity of such news. "The National Bandstand television show has selected Lawrence High as a representative of American high school. They will be broadcasting our school dance in the gym live." Many students hollered at this exciting event. It's not everyday you get to be broadcasted live on national television. "Now is our chance to show the nation what...bright, clean-cut...and wholesome students we have...at Lawrence High... " Principal Harvelle's eye twitching in concern, not even believing her own words. "Make it a great year at Lawrence High!" Harvelle ended with an agitated sigh.
-Destiel is the Word-
During lunch, Gabriel and Balthazar were humming a tune making their way to their table by Samandriel. As they boisterously hummed their tune, they may or may not have bumped some people along their way, but it was easily ignored.
"Hey did you get a look at Dean this morning?" Alfie said in between bites. "Looking pretty good, ey Gabriel?" he teased nudging at Gabriel's side. Gabriel nearly choked remembering his relations with Dean, but quickly brushed it off.
"Please, I'm with a better Winchester now," Gabriel scoffed, remembering events from last night. "Me and Dean is ancient history."
"Yea, but history tends to repeat itself," Balthazar said waving his fork in Gabriel's direction. Gabriel turned back to his food ignoring his friends.
"Hey you guys!" Anna cheerfully called out, followed by a very scared blue-eyed kid behind her.
"Hi Anna," all three said simultaneously.
"This is Castiel," Anna said, patting Castiel's shoulders. "That's Samandriel, Gabriel, and Balthazar." Castiel gave a weak wave at Anna's friends, nervousness still remaining on him. "He just moved here from Australia."
"Really? How are things down under?" Gabriel asked with a smirk. However, Castiel didn't get the hidden innuendo of the question and simply shrugged saying it was fine.
Sitting down at the table, Castiel felt slightly uncomfortable among this group of people, but Anna was so welcoming. However, he was somewhat hoping her friends would be just like her.
"Hey Balthazar are those new glasses?" Anna asked hoping to break the unwavering silence.
"Why yes, darling, don't they make me look smarter?" he asked straightening up his posture.
"Nah, you can still see your face," Gabriel smirked. Balthazar gave a small huff before going back to his food. Anna and Alfie giggled at Gabriel's comment while Castiel was looking very confused for not understanding the joke once again.
"So how do you like Lawrence so far Castiel?" Alfie asked taking a large bite into his apple. Trying to not be appalled by Alfie's enthusiasm for food, Castiel simply gave a small shrug.
"It's different I suppose," Castiel replied quietly.
Alfie was about to question further when a very loud, but cheery voice rang through the cafeteria. Gabriel gave a not so subtle groan of dismay as the source of the voice grew closer to their table.
"Becky Rosen, the bad seed of Lawrence- Hi!" Gabriel quickly said forcing a smile on his face.
"Hi guys! You'll never guess what happened to me today!" Becky cheered with that same smile not leaving her face.
"Probably not," Gabriel said rolling his eyes. "But you'll tell us anyway," Gabriel muttered under his breath. Luckily, or not so lucky, Becky went on telling them about student council and running for vice president, and winning the nomination.
"Oh my!" Becky exclaimed, her eyes now set on Castiel. "You must think I'm so rude for not introducing myself, my name is Becky Rosen," she said squeezing her way into the table to sit next to Castiel. Castiel was very confused and became even more uncomfortable with this Becky girl. But still, he remained polite in introducing himself. "I hope you can join student council or even become a cheerleader! We need a bunch of male cheerleaders! Oh we're going to be life-long friends I just know it!" Becky screeched enthusiastically. However, Castiel was hoping forever meant by the time lunch ended.
"Hey guys," Anna whispered to the others as Becky was talking to Castiel. "What you think of Castiel? Do you think Castiel can join the Rebel Angels?" Gabriel gave Castiel a quick up-down before deciding.
Giving an unfazed look, Gabriel simply replied, "he looks too pure to be a rebel."
-Destiel is the Word-
Meanwhile on the bleachers, the Hunters were enjoying their lunchtime.
"Hey, any of you guys want some salami?" Kevin held out his sandwich to which the entire group visibly cringed at.
"If any of us ate that, we would all smell like you," Jo retorted turning back to her lunch. Kevin just shrugged and took another bite.
"Hey guys," Dean said, pointing at the track. The jocks were all doing their practices, but the one the Hunters were most interested in was Dick Roman. Born to a family of millionaires, the jock was very spoiled and snobbish making him the crown douche at the school, at least to the Hunters. However, when it came to sports, the guy was a total klutz, making open entertainment during lunch.
Of course right when Dean pointed Dick out, Dick dropped his football helmet, causing him to trip foot-first onto it. The Hunters all laughed at this display.
"You really put your foot into it this time Dick," Benny roared with laughter.
"Alright guys enough of that, we have yet to hear of Dean's time at the beach," Jo shushed them. Now everyone's attention was on Dean. Even Sam was curious to know about the hidden details of Dean's summer.
"Yea Dean, tell us about that guy!" Kevin exclaimed.
-Destiel is the Word-
"So what did you do this summer Castiel," Anna asked curiously, resting her head under her hand.
"Oh, umm...I met a boy at the beach," Castiel said softly his face turning slightly red. Memories of Dean were suddenly flashing back into his head. Oh what a summer it had been.
"Really? All summer for one guy," Gabriel looking in disbelief.
"He was kind of special, you know?" Castiel replied back.
"There's no such thing," Gabriel said with a snort. Though the others were now intrigued ignoring Gabriel's rude demeanor.
"He was really romantic," Castiel said with a sigh remembering those summer nights. The rest of the Rebel Angels squealed in glee.
-Destiel is the Word-
"Tell us Dean!" Sam said giving a slight push.
"But Sammy, I don't want to scar you from any horny details," Dean smirked. Sam gave a repulsed look, but the other Hunters however were begging for more. Eventually Dean caved and told them his whole summer with a blue-eyed boy he met. However, he left out many of the romantic details between them and went straight to the kisses and 'dirty' details.
All the Hunters gave him a high-fives all around, but still in the back of his head, he wished summer never had to end.
In contrast, Castiel told every romantic gesture he and his lover did at the beach. He was much too embarrassed to go into detail of the many other activities they did together. But even so, the Rebel Angels were satisfied with his description. Oh how Castiel wished summer never had to end so soon.
"He sounds very nice Castiel," Anna said excitedly. Castiel nodded with the brightest smile he's shown all day that day.
"If you ask me, the guy sounds like a total creep," Gabriel said looking unamused by Castiel's summer.
"Oh, he was a gentleman," Castiel said too lost in his memories to give notice to Gabriel's comment.
"So what's his name, if you don't mind me asking," Anna asked curiously.
"Dean. Dean Winchester," Castiel smiled. The last thing he expected, however, was for the rest of the Rebel Angels to just laugh. Looking thoroughly confused, Castiel looked down as if he didn't understand yet another reference to an inside joke.
Shutting up the others, Gabriel moved forward to Castiel, lifting his chin up between his fingers. "Well I take back what I said earlier. This guy sounds peachy keen. And maybe if you believe in miracles, your Prince Charming might turn up again," Gabriel said trying to hold in his laughter. "Somewhere very unexpected, see ya Castiel. Let's go guys."
At the possibility that Castiel might be able to see Dean again, he lit up like a light. "Do you really think it's true Anna?" Castiel turned to the last Rebel Angel, who was looking slightly queasy.
"Yea...sure," Anna said softly. "Uhh...Castiel, I think we should get to class."
