Chapter 2

November 1997

They were in high school, she's 15 going on 16 years old and he was 16, senior year, the best of friends. The two were inseparable. They were practically like a couple and didn't even know it.

Angelica was putting school books in her locker when Dean snuck up behind her intending to hug her. Before he could make contact she somehow slammed him to the floor punching him in the nose.

"Geez Angel, Ow." He said, holding his nose calling her by her nickname.

She quickly turned around covering her mouth, eyes wide.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry Dean. Here let me help you." She said as she held her hand out for him to hold onto as she pulled him up. She then started blushing realizing how close their faces were.

He chuckled at her adorableness as she touched his nose gently, "It's okay." He reached up and held her wrist of the hand on his nose and she settled it against his chest. The hand he wasn't holding gripped the front of his shirt.

"Where's Sammy?" She was used to seeing both meeting her at her locker afterschool and walking home together to either her or his house.

"He stayed after for math tutoring."

"Math tutoring? He's so smart though."

"I know. There's this girl that stays afterschool for tutoring he has a crush on and I think that's why he's staying after."

"SAMMY HAS A CRUSH!"

Dean quickly covers her mouth before looking up and down the hallway making sure it was clear, "Careful, he doesn't know that I know okay?"

Angelica nods and giggles when he takes his hand away from her mouth. His hand then moves to the side of her neck and he kisses her for the first time. He stopped, pulling away slightly and waited for her reaction. He smiled when she didn't push him away but cupped his face kissing him back.

Someone cleared their throat and the two literally jumped apart and Angelica couldn't help but touch her lips as they looked over to see who it was.

"Oh, hey Sammy." They said at the same time then looked at each other and started laughing softly.

"Angel and Dean sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-…" Sam sang before being shoved back a few steps by Dean laughing.

"Shut up." He said turning red looking at Angel who was just as red blushing and he scratched the back of his neck.

"Do you have some hunting trip with your dad?" Angelica said, looking toward Dean while touching her lips lightly although she was talking to Sam but not looking at him. She didn't exactly know their family secret but that was all going to change. As they were walking, Castiel was coming out of a classroom heading toward them. Angelica couldn't help but stare at him like is he even real as he walked up to them. Dean elbows her to get her attention.

"Yeah, you okay with that?"

"Sure, as long as your careful. I'll go over Castiels'. You'll call if you run into any trouble, won't you?" He nods slowly unsure of whether that would be his first lie to her since she didn't really know what their family secret was.

She'll admit that he had grown even cuter and handsome as the years went on, but she'd never tell him that because she like Dean and didn't want to jeopardize both of their friendships over that. Yes, Dean and Castiel also became good friends over the years and yes Angelica may have also developed a crush on her friend Castiel. Unknown to her, Castiel also developed a crush on her but they would never tell one another. Castiel because he knew she really liked Dean and Angelica because she didn't want to jeopardize anything.

"Hey big guy," Angelica said as her friend came up and hugged her," How was class today?"

"Hy Angel. Class wasn't too bad today actually" he said while still hugging her with his nose in her hair almost. "Are you smelling me?" She feels him nod as she starts to laugh. "Well stop," she pushed him back a bit and he let her go while laughing. ''Hy Sam, Dean," he said as he fists bumped them.

"They kissed," Sam says as he scratches the back of his neck as they all started walking out of the school building.

"They what?"

"Kissed, you know...like" Sam said as he made the motion of acting like he was kissing someone. "Ohhh" Castiel said with a hint of hurt in his voice that he covered up with a laugh clearing his throat as he walked between Angelica and Dean.

Angelica jabbed him with her elbow unknowingly erasing that sad feeling eliciting an "Ow" from Castiel who immediately put his arm around her as she started talking.

"Can I come over your house? My mom's at work and Dean's got to go on another hunting trip..." Before she could finish Castiel already answered "Yes and you don't need an excuse to want to come over my place. Want to ride over there with me now?"

Angelica nods and Castiel immediately fist bumps Dean and Sam again and she hugs them. "Be careful and remember to call me if you need help." she says as she walks away waving bye to them before catching up with Castiel who was heading to his car. Dean just nods to her wishing he could just tell her the truth about their family secret. Hopefully she wouldn't find out the hard way.
