Cleo's POV

With Nathaniel holding me close, I continued to cry. I didn't hear Castiel leave the room but when I looked up it was just Nathaniel and I in the room. Nathaniel sat me down in a chair and sat down across from me. "I-I can't b-believe Sam s-said that..." I said, still crying.

Leaning forward, Nathaniel dried off my face with his sleeve. "Shhh, it's okay Cleo, but maybe you should stay away from Sam for a little while."

I looked up at him confused "B-but why...?" I asked.

He looked away. "Well Sam almost hit you, and I don't know her that well, but I don't think her anger was completely at it's peak, and if I'm right I'm worried what she might do to you if her anger does reach it's peak and she tries to take it out on you."

I saw a light blush colouring his face. I smiled a little, a few tears still running down my face. "I'm sure Sam wouldn't try to hurt me."

Nathaniel looked at me, a bit of anger showing in his eyes "But Cleo she TRIED to hit you just then."

My smile flattered a little. "Yeah but...She had a good reason...no once since me and Sam was on our own did I ever go against her..."

"Cleo that is still no reason to try and hit you..." He trailed off, confusion showing on his face "Wait what do you mean by on your own?"

I bit my lip and looked away "Well uh..."

"Cleo please tell me...Your student files say that your uncle sent you and Sam here to live with your aunt...is that not true?"

I looked at him and nodded "Sam made that up...she edited our student files..."

He looked at me, really confused. "But how?"

"Our past isn't that great, so when something happened in New York that made us come here, she deleted our school files and added in new, fake ones." I felt a little bad telling Nathaniel this but I had to. "She covered up our horrible past with lies of a good life that we never had..."

"Can you tell me your past, I promise I won't tell anyone, and if it is a horrible past I'll keep your student files as they are, if it means protecting you" He said blushing.

I blushed and nodded. "Our parents abandoned Sam and I in the streets of New York when we were really young, and that's where we grew up. Before Sam was really nice and loved to smile and play games, but a year after we were abandoned Sam changed...she took up a path of crime, she stole from stores without people even knowing until Sam and what she took was long gone from the store..." I stopped and looked away "Then before we came here Sam got in really big trouble with the cops...so we ran away and came here...but before we left Sam and one of her friends hacked into the school files and edited our student files..."

Nathaniel nodded a little "Can you tell me what Sam did to get in really big trouble with the police?"

I shook my head "It's bad enough I told you about our past, Sam would kill me then you for telling you what she did..."

Nathaniel nodded sadly "Okay, I understand...but if you ever want to talk to someone about it, you can always come to me okay."

I smiled and nodded just as the bell rang. "Okay I will, I see you at lunch right?" I said, standing up.

He stood up as well. "Yeah, I'll be here waiting."

I smiled and gave him a kiss on he cheek before leaving and heading to class.

Nathaniel's POV

I watched Cleo leave, then started reading through the paper work the principle gave me on a new student that is coming here. "Lexie Thorn hmm the name sounds familiar..." I said to myself.

Sighing, I continued to read through it, when it hit me. I stood up so fast my chair tipped over. "No! That's the girl that's coming here at lunch to get her registration finished!" I shouted.

I felt like hitting myself, how could I have forgotten. I am the student council president, how could I forget something as important as that. I felt like hitting myself when I heard a small knock on the door. Picking up my chair and sitting down, I told the person to come in. It was Lexie. "Hi, I um saw everyone who was in here with you leave, so I thought it would be okay for me to come in."

I smiled and nodded "Yes, thank you for waiting, I'm sorry for having you wait so long, something happened that I needed to deal with."

"Oh it's okay, you must have a lot of work to do being the student body president" She said.

I nodded and pulled out her file. "Well here is your schedule. Now to finish your registration here, you need to pay a 15 dollar fee and you need a photo id."

She smiled and pulled 15 dollars and a picture from her book bag and handed it to me and took her schedule. "Thank you, no please get to your class" I said.

"Okay and thank you." She said leaving the room.

Lexie's POV

I left the student council room and went to my class. I looked at my schedule and saw I had math. I made my way toward the math class and walked in. All eyes turned on me. Grinning I walked to an empty desk and sat down. Looking around the class I recognized a few people. In the very back corner of the room was the guy with red hair that was with Nathaniel today. Two seats over was that curly blond haired girl. Two seats from the front was Grace and to her left was Sid. To my right was the other blond haired girl. As I looked around I saw a girl sitting in front with teal hair. Also in the front was a girl with orange hair and another girl with purple hair. In the back there was a girl with short black hair. As I looked around I didn't see the girl with black hair who was fighting with the girl net to me. I guess she is skipping off since there was an empty desk in the back next to the guy with red hair.

Looking at the board I noticed the teacher had a problem we had to solve. I read it over a few times, but didn't understand it. Looking at the blond girl next to me I whispered "Hey."

She looked at me and smiled a little "Hi."

"I was wondering if you could tell me how we are supposed to do this problem?"

She nodded and helped me. When it was done, I felt a little stupid because it was pretty easy. "Thank you."

"Your welcome."

"My name is Lexie. You?"

"Cleo."

"Well it's nice to meet you Cleo."

"You too Lexie."

Sam's POV

I was up on the roof sitting down on the ledge, smoking, not really caring who saw me up there. I was supposed to be in class, but I didn't care, the worst thing that can happen is getting expelled, and I didn't really care if I did get expelled. I was planning on going home during this class and pack a bit of clothes and stuff and leave, but I decided that I'll just stay up in my room and skip off school for a while. I heard the bell and decided to head down since Castiel will probably be coming up here now, and as Nathaniel said, I'm not allowed to hang out with Castiel on school grounds, I didn't want to listen to Nathaniel, but I am so I can try and get Cleo to stop being mad at me.

Stepping on my cigarette, I dropped it over the ledge and went down the steps and almost ran into Serena. "Oh hey Serena."

"Hey Sam, how are you..." She wrinkled up her nose "Is that smoke I smell?"

I shrugged "I'm just fine, I bit pissed at a certain red head, and two blonds, but other than that, just fine, and yeah I took up smoking so?"

Serena started at me "You have got to be kidding me Sam, smoking? Why?"

"Because" I said.

"Sam, do you want to die?"

I shrugged "If the other life is better than this one, sure."

A loud slapping sound was heard and my face went to the side. A few students in the halls stopped and looked our way. Serena had just slapped me right across the face. Slowly I touched me cheek, it stung a little to touch it, but I did't care. Serena just had the nerve to slap me. I glared at her, really wanting to hit her back twice as hard, but instead I stormed off. I left the school and got on my bike and road home. I didn't plan on going back to school for my detention. I didn't care about getting on that stupid presidents good side just to get Cleo to stop being mad at me anymore. I didn't care about starting over with a new life. I didn't care about making friends or any of that anymore. All I cared about now was getting the hell away from here, I didn't belong here anyways. I belonged in New York behind bars for killing that cop.

Serena's POV

I happened pretty fast. First I was walking around the school looking for Castiel when I almost ran into Sam. Then we were talking about her taking up smoking and that she didn't care if she died if the other world was better than this one. Then I slapped her and she stormed off. I ran after her only to lose her in the mob of students. That was when I ran into Castiel and I started to tell him everything that had just happened, hoping he had seen her as she left.
