"Oh, hello Anna." Castiels voice went through the phone, almost like he wasn't expecting me. He hasn't been around me that much lately, and I'm getting worried as to why, is he going to dump me? During school he would always be doing homework or have a meeting to attend, like Charlie, Gilda and I mean nothing to him any more. And when I would try do something with him after school he would always avoid it, except that one time we did and he just kept checking his watch for the time, at 4 he left to finish his project. I know he's doing extra curricular and advanced subjects but still, shouldn't he be spending time with his girlfriend?

"Wow, you answered." Usually I only get voice mail when I try to reach him now, really pisses me off.

"Yes, I'm able to speak at the moment."

"For how long?"

"Awhile."

"And how long is awhile?"

"Not sure."

"Right, so how are you?"

"Fine, you?"

"Fine." If he wants to play the fine game I'll play along just fine.

"Okay, so why did you call?"

"I'm your girlfriend, am I not allowed to call you?"

"I never said that."

"You were thinking it."

"Lately we only talk at school so I wa-" I cut him off then and there.

"Because you never answer!"

"Sorry.."

"You should be." I was expecting him to ask me out on a date, like he used to.

"Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Talking to you. Yourself?" This conversation was seriously awkward.

"Taking a break from calculus."

"Oh, good idea."

"I know."

"So.."

"So?"

"Does taking a break mean there's time for your friends?"

"Maybe."

"I want a definite answer."

"Then yes, you guys get time."

"Good." Finally...

"Yeah, I guess. I'll see you at school tomorrow?"

"Mm yep alright, bye Castiel." I sighed, of course no date.

"Goodbye, Anna." The phone hung up and I rolled my eyes, why did I expect anything more from him?

What the hell? I had woken up an gotten ready just like any other day when I left to walk to school, Castiel was outside, leaning on his car. Did he have the wrong house? Do I suddenly exist? I slowly walked down the steps and stood in front of him.

"What are you doing here, I got used to walking again."

"I told you I have time now."

"Oh that's right, you did." I shrug and he hugs me, I hug back of course. I thought I would reject it, but honestly I missed his warmth, the comfort. He strokes his arms along my back as I bury my head into his chest, happy to be back in the comfort of where I belong. He pulls his head away and kisses me gently then opens the car door for me.

"Off we go?" He smiled and I got reminded of the old Castiel, the one who wasn't obsessed.

"I'd rather not go to school but how could I resist the ride?" I laugh and get in the car, soon Castiel is around the other side and we begin driving to the school.

"So will this become a regular thing again?" I ask him and watch the road, not wanting to distract him too much.

"Depends how much work happens."

"So once you get work you will just ditch me again?"
"It's not like that, Anna."

"It sounds like it."

"I need to get into Harvard, which involves good grades." He sighs and shakes his head.

"Well then, don't let me distract you any more." I get out of the car right away, before Castiel can even park it and I walk off. I'm not in the mood to be his sloppy seconds right now.

I had hidden from Castiel in the girls bathroom, the stall I'm always in. It's like Charlie and I's spot, the stall that has held many of our tears but each others reassurance. As I had thought soon somebody came in and did a certain kick from the bottom of the door so I unlocked the door.

"Come in." Luckily this is the disabled stall so there is room for the both of us.

"Castiel surprisingly came up to me and said you stormed off on him, what happened?" She hugged me before sitting down on the bench for the disabled people to put their things on.

"Well I'm like his spare time thing, when he has work I'm thrown to the side but when he doesn't I'm suddenly his priority again." I sigh and hold back the tears.

"He's just confused, he will come around, he always does." Charlie tried helping me out with the situation but it doesn't always fully help.

"Thanks Charlie, can we go now?" She nodded and got up, so we both left and went off to our classes. Great, English with Castiel, just what I feel like..

I sat down in my usual seat up the back corner of the room, getting comfortable until I realised Castiel would surely come sit with me. I quickly scanned around the room and grabbed my stuff and walked over to the middle row and sat next to Alfie. Nobody usually sits here so there would be no harm done in the seating arrangements that everybody knows and doesn't mess with. When Castiel walked in the room he looked at me as if he was sorry and then slowly made his way to our desk and sat alone.

"Hey Alfie." I smiled and looked at him.
"Hi, Anna. Is everything alright with you and Castiel?"He seemed concerned.

"Not sure yet, you don't mind me sitting here, right?"

"No no, not at all. Company is fine." He smiles and looks at the teacher as he walks in.

"Good, you seem pretty cool, I might sit here more often." I felt like I was using Alfie and that he probably didn't care that I sit with him more.

"Okay, cool!" He seemed excited over the fact and I turned around, Castiel was obviously jealous that Alfie was making me smile when he couldn't. My mission is to avoid Castiel as much as possible for the day, don't want to spring awkwardness onto myself.
