During dinner Sam was completely zoned out and wound up playing with his food instead of eating it.

"Sam!" Bobby called, interrupting the boy from his thoughts.

"What?" Sam asked.

"Your sister has been trying to ask you a question for the last ten minutes," Ellen said seeming concerned.

"Sorry, what Jo?" Sam asked.

"I asked if you can drive me to my new friend's house after supper," Jo said.

"Why can't Mom or Dad?" Sam asked.

"We're going out," Said Ellen. "We already told you that."

"Then I guess I'll drive you," Sam agreed.

"Sam are you alright?" Ellen asked. "You've been really out of it today and yesterday. Is there something going on at school?"

"I'm fine," Sam said, then scooped a pile of food in his mouth so that he would have an excuse not to talk.

"What if I don't want to hang out with your new friend?" Dean asked his little brother.

"You have to at least come meet her," Adam begged.

"Fine, I'll wait outside with you if you agree to leave me alone while she's here," Dean agreed. "I have to unpack."

"You're fucking kidding me," Sam said as he turned into the driveway of Jo's friend's house.

"What?" Jo asked.

Sam didn't respond since Dean had come to stand outside of Sam's window that had already been rolled down.

"So you're Adam's friends big brother," Dean said grinning.

Sam just gave him a bitch-face.

Jo got out of the car and walked over to Adam and they both seemed to whisper about their brothers.

"Look Sammy-," Dean said before he was cut off.

"Don't call me Sammy," Sam said angrily.

"Okay, Sam," Dean said. "Look I'm sorry, if I'd known that it was you I would never have said it."

"Oh, so if it was just some random other person who tried to talk to you it's okay to be a total douche-bag?" Sam asked critically.

"No, that's not what I meant," Dean said sighing. "It's just that I was having a bad day already and everyone kept bothering me trying to get information to pass out and I just finally snapped. And it turns out that the one person I wound up freaking out at was you."

"Bullshit," Sam said.

"Excuse me?" Dean asked in shock.

"I said bullshit," Sam replied as if English was Dean's second language. "You said yourself that if I met you I wouldn't like you, that you're a dick. I guess you were right."

"Sorry, I-" Dean began, but was interrupted once again.

"You can take your apology and shove it up your ass," Sam said before pulling out of the driveway.

Dean watched the car leave and felt like a complete jack-ass.

"Hey Dean," Adam called eager to introduce his big brother to Jo.

"Not now," Dean said storming into the house and trying to figure out how to fix what he'd done.

Sam went home and laid down on his bed wondering if he'd been too hard on Dean. After all Dean had told him that he felt like he needed to hide who he was behind an act. Although that was a long time ago and either way if Dean wanted to act like this then he didn't want anything to do with him.

He laid around deep in thought for a couple of hours before he got a text from Ellen telling him to go pick Jo up.

He texted Jo telling her to be ready when he showed up, then left for the house hoping Dean wouldn't try to bother him.

When he pulled into the driveway Dean was sitting on his front steps, he seemed to be forced to be there by his brother.

He didn't make any effort to get up or talk to Sam. He just sat there looking like he'd just watched his cat get hit by a train. Sam was debating talking to him, but decided against it when Jo got in the car.

"You know he's not that bad," Jo said.

"Who?" Sam asked.

"The guy you're ogling at," She said.

Sam ripped his eyes off of Dean and said, "I wasn't ogling at him."

"Sure you weren't," Jo said sounding unconvinced. "Then why are you staring at him instead of leaving?"

Sam muttered something incoherent, then pulled out of the driveway.

"But seriously he's not," Jo said. "I don't know what you said to him before, but whatever it was really bothered him."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked.

"You could tell he was upset," Jo said.

"He should be," Sam said.

"He's not that bad," Jo said again.

"You don't know anything about it," Sam said.

"You met him yesterday," Jo said. "Whatever he did can't be that bad."

"Just don't," Sam said.

They were silent for the rest of the drive home.

"I believe you owe me a story," Jess said when Sam picked her up the next morning.

"It's too long of a story for a five minute drive," Sam said. "I'll tell you in gym."

"You'd better," Jess said.

When they parked Sam noticed that Dean was standing next to his car, like the morning before. Sam's eyes met his and Dean quickly walked away.

"What are you looking at?" Jess asked as she got out of the car.

"Nothing," Sam said, turning to face her.

"You mean you weren't staring at the hot guy that's new here?" Jess asked.

"Nope," Sam said as they started to walk to the front entrance.

After his first class Sam waited in the hallway where his locker and Jess's were for her.

Jess turned the corner, walking with Dean of course. Dean seemed to be putting on his full charm and Jess was smiling and laughing as they approached her locker.

"So you're willing to talk to her like an actual human being?" Sam asked glaring at Dean.

"Sam-" Dean tried.

"Or is this part of your tough guy act? You have to hit on every girl you see?" Sam asked.

Dean frowned for a few seconds, then walked away.

"You definitely were lying when you said that you didn't know him," Jess commented. "I mean you two had the whole longing stare in the parking lot and then there's that."

"That's part of the story," Sam said.

"Then spill," Jess said as she opened her locker.

"You know how I said that the guy I talk to online told me his first name?" Sam asked and Jess nodded her head. "Well it's Dean. And the day that you told me about the new guy was the day I already knew the guy was starting a new school, plus I already knew he was our age. That's why I acted weird when you told me his name was Dean." The two began to head towards the gym.

"Oh my god, is that him?" Jess asked excitedly, seeming to have forgotten the fact that Sam was mad at real life Dean.

"At that point I still doubted it a lot," Sam said ignoring her question. "But then he was in my math class and when he sat next to me I noticed that he had a pendant."

"So?" Jess asked.

"So online Dean told me that he always wears a pendant that his mom gave him before she died," Sam said. "I still wasn't very convinced though, so that night I asked the online one what colour hair and eyes he has and it matched up."

The two walked into the gym and had to stop mid-story to go change. Although only Sam had to change, since it was his turn to do the stations.

When he came back out they weren't starting the stations yet so Jess asked, "Did you tell him?"

"I still wasn't sure, so I decided that I'd try to talk to him next math class and see if I could find out anything that would prove whether he was or wasn't the same guy. I didn't tell you what was going on yesterday because I still wasn't sure."

"But now you are?" Jess asked, still wanting to know if they were the same guy.

"Everyone find a station," The gym teacher said.

Sam and Jess got stuck with laps first again, so Jess counted Sam's laps while dying to know what happened yesterday.

During the two minute break Sam said, "So when he sat down next to me again all I did was try to talk to him and he was a total ass-hole."

"Do you remember the exact words?" Jess asked.

Sam had replayed it in his head the entire rest of the class the day before so he still remembered and replied, "Yeah, I said 'Hey, you're new here. It's Dean right?' then he said 'No shit I'm new here and you can take your welcoming committee act and shove it up your ass'."

"Charming," Jess said sarcastically.

The buzzer went off so Sam began to skip, while Jess counted his jumps.

Sam continued to tell the story as he jumped, "So I said 'Sorry for trying to be nice' and he said 'You should be' and moved spots. And I mean the online guy did say that he was a dick in real life and that I wouldn't like him if I met him. When I went on my computer later he instantly asked how my day was, so I told him."

Jess was too busy counting to respond, but the second the buzzer went off she asked, "Told him what?"

"I told him that my day was shitty because there was a new guy at my school the day before named Dean and I told him all the similarities and that the guy was a total dick. And the response he came back was asking 'This happened in math class?' So I said that it did and he asked if we went to the same school and I said that depends if he's Dean Winchester. He said that he was and I logged off."

The buzzer went again and Sam started doing bicep curls as he said, "And I wish that was how the story ended, but I had to drive Jo to her new friend's house. Her new friend turned out to be Dean's little brother."

Sam told her the rest of the story and was only madder at the end of class.

"So what are you going to do?" Jess asked.

"I guess I'll just ignore him," Sam said as they walked into the cafeteria.

"Good luck with that," Jess said gesturing to where Dean was flirting with Ruby, the school's head cheerleader. "I thought you said he likes guys."

"That's what he said online," Sam replied. "But he's been flirting with girls since he showed up at the school. I think it's to try and hide who he is."

When Dean and Ruby went to leave the cafeteria together past them Sam asked, "Going to go make-out with your whore?"

"What did you just call me?" Ruby asked.

"Oh I didn't call you anything," Sam said. "He's the whore."

He shot Dean a glare, then walked to go sit down at his usual table. He noticed that Castiel was actually there today.

When Dean entered math class he sat down next to Sam and said, "You know I may have made a dick move, but you made a lot more than I did. Sure I said the one thing, but you've been a bitch to me since."

"Aww why don't you go find a cheerleader to cry on?" Sam asked sarcastically.

"You know I wasn't making out with her," Dean said. "I needed her to spread some information for me. So I could show you that I don't care about my reputation."

"Wow making friends with head cheerleader, shows that you don't care about your tough guy act," Sam said sarcastically, then walked over to a red-head a few rows over and asked, "Hey Anna can we switch spots?"

She agreed and Sam ignored Dean for the rest of the class.

Halfway through class Sam got a text.

From Jess:

Have you heard yet?

From Sam:

Heard what?

From Jess:

There's a mass text going around and everyone's talking about it. Dean told Ruby at lunch that he's gay.

From Sam:

Seriously?

From Jess:

Yup, so much for the tough guy act.

Sam put his phone in his pocket and turned to stare at Dean in shock. This was what he had needed Ruby to spread around?

Sam wasn't sure how he felt about Dean anymore. He didn't think that he was anywhere near as mad, but he thought that he was still mad at least a little.

Sam was still confused by it after school, he went on the computer, but Dean didn't come on all night.
