"Huh? CASTIEL! Why aren't you in class?!" I exclaim when I spot the school rebel. Castiel just raises an eyebrow at me and ignores my question.
"Why do you look like such a hot mess so early in the morning?"
"I was in a rush!" I reply indignantly as I try to tame down my hair and wipe off my sweat.
"Bet you I can guess why." He smirks at me.
"Y-yeah right!"
"Hm….You…" He steps closer and leans in…
"Woke up late, didn't you little girl?" He whispers in my ear. I can almost feel his body heat radiating off him since he was standing so close. My face instantly flushes and I stumble back, trying to stutter out a complete sentence. He blinks at my flustered state, then he bursts into laughter. The students still left in the hallway all turn and stare at us. *sigh* I want to just jump in a hole and stay there forever, just so I could be out of reach of the aggravating red-head that finds amusement in my misery. Thankfully, everyone's attention was drawn away when the second bell rang and they all left for class. Oh thank god, I was saved by the bell.
"Hahaha! Well then, I'll see ya around, little girl." Castiel gives me a genuine smile and leaves me there, gawking. Wow…his smile is really cute…*slap* What am I thinking! I snap out of my daze and quickly rush to first period, Music.
"Argh, I've got theory homework…I can never understand this crud." I grumble to myself as I search my locker for money. My fingers find my wallet under a pile of textbooks and I happily open it to find…nothing. *face-wall* (when face-palm isn't enough) How could I forget to bring money to school! Can this day get ANY worse?! *sigh* Well, since I have all of lunch period free now, might as well find a quiet place to finish my homework.
I gather up my books, lock my locker and wonder down the halls. My brain goes on autopilot and before I knew it, my feet had brought me up the stairwell and I found myself standing in front of the door to the rooftop. I reach to open the door, then paused when my ears picked up the sound of music. I cautiously open the door and peak outside to find…Castiel?! I stared as his fingers move swiftly over the strings, forming a melody that was almost hypnotizing. His eyes are closed and his face looks content. I lean against the doorframe, close my eyes and just…listened.
"Hey, I never took you for a stalker." I jump when a voice broke my peaceful daze.
"I was only…um…" I trail off. What WAS I doing here?
"You plan on coming out from behind that door?" I nod sheepishly, step through the door and close it behind me.
"So, what brings you here? Not to stalk me, I hope. Though I can completely understand why you would be interested in me." Castiel shoots me his signature smirk.
"Why would I-Argh! Think what you like, but I'm only here to finish up some homework!" I huff and plop down across from him.
"Well then, don't let your infatuation with me distract you." I just reply with a very un-lady like snort.
After 10 minutes of staring at my paper, I growl in frustration. Why are there so many rules for harmonizing chords?! Why can't I just put random notes together and just make it work! God why is this so confusing! GYAHHH!
"Are you having some difficulties, little girl?" I glance up from my homework and glare at the smirking red-head. But before I could snap at him with a sarcastic comment, he swips the theory worksheet and holds it out of my reach as he looked it over.
"Ah, hey!"
"THIS is what you were having so much trouble with?" He raises an eyebrow at me mockingly.
"W-well it's hard!" I huff.
"If you put this and this together, it would harmonize because they have the same tonal centre." He points at my chords and plays an example on his guitar. I gawk, my sequence actually works! Wait, but I still gotta check the rest of the chords.
"Can I borrow your guitar for a sec?"
"Can you play it?"
"…l'll make it work somehow." I reach for the instrument when suddenly he grabs my wrist and pulled. I stumble forward and land on my knees with his legs on either side of me. I blush when I felt myself press up against his chest.
"Turn around. You're not going to be able to play the guitar like that." My blush got even darker as I awkwardly turned my body around so my back was leaning against him and the guitar was placed on my lap.
"Ok so…." As Castiel explains the basics, his hands guides my fingers over the strings and frets. I was still blushing madly as he instructed me to press down on certain strings. I did as I was told and gradually, I started to get the hang of it and I tried playing the chords that I wrote down. Miraculously, it actually harmonized quite well. I smile as the notes that I wrote became music through the guitar.
"This is so awesome! I can never thank you enough, Castiel!" I grin up at him and gave him a hug to express my gratitude.
"N-no problem…" He mumbles. I hear him cough a bit then he turns his head away so I couldn't see his face. I tilt my head to the side. Did I just see him blush, or was I hallucinating?
*growl* *grumble* Now it was my turn to blush as my stomach growled for food.
"I agree with your stomach, let's go find some lunch, shall we?" Castiel chuckles as he stands up and offers a hand to me.
"What about your guitar?" I ask as I let him pull me up.
"What do you think? I'm leaving it here for someone to steal?" He says as he crouches down to pack away the instrument. He lifts up the case and walks toward the exit, then he glances back at me.
"Hold on!" I hurriedly gather up my stuff and follow him.
Castiel took his motorbike and we drove to the nearest fast food place. We ate unhealthy food, talked in sarcasm, and he continuously teased me in his own aggravating way. It was both irritable and amusing, but at least I never got bored. We ended up spending too much time at the restaurant, so we got back to school late and the principal found us. And of course, we were sentenced to detention after school. Just my luck. But perhaps with Castiel, detention won't be too bad…I hope?
