Sam was sitting in the library before classes. He was going to try and see Gabriel, but when he went to his office, it was empty and so was their classroom, so he was in the library studying. Then, suddenly there was a big bang of books. Sam jumped and looked up. Ruby sat down and smiled.
"Wow, you actually showed up to our study date." Ruby pulled a chair out and sat down.
"I didn't know we had a study date."
"Do you really not remember Friday? You agreed to help me with calc."
"Oh, yeah. Um…okay, did you try the homework?"
"Of course I did, but I barely understood any of it." Ruby opened her book. "Come over here and help me." Sam decided that he should just get it over with. Sam stood up and sat down next to Ruby. He began helping her through some problems when she looked up, smiled, and waved at somebody. Somebody else sat where Sam had occupied.
"Slumming it with us today, Winchester?" Sam looked up and saw Lucifer.
"Not slumming, helping Ruby with her calculus." Lucifer chuckled and glanced at Ruby.
"Really? The 'dumb girl that doesn't get the math homework' shtick?" Lucifer looked back at Sam. "You know she got straight A's at her other school, right? She's one of the smartest people here; she just knows how to play people. Ain't that right, sweetheart?" Lucifer winked at Ruby. Ruby smiled shyly at Lucifer, then at Sam.
"Sorry, I just thought this was the only way to get you to talk to me." Sam almost felt bad, but then again, she was probably right. Sam hadn't really wanted to talk to her, but he was a nice guy and figured he'd help.
"Well," Lucifer began. "I'm having a party Friday night and Ruby wants you to come." Lucifer ran his blue eyes up and down Sam, then smiled (and Sam thought it looked a little off, more like a sneer). "Wanna come?"
"I um…I don't know. I'll think about it. Now, I really need to stop by my locker before class. I'll see you guys later." Sam stood up and grabbed his books.
"Bye, Sam" Ruby and Lucifer replied in a unison of sing-songy voices as Sam left the table. Sam actually had all of his things for English because he was avoiding his locker. Sam left before Kevin Saturday and Sunday had been Kevin's day off, so Sam didn't see him the rest of the weekend. He had also ignored Kevin's text asking him to answer him. Kevin had to have known, which is why Sam couldn't lie to him anymore.
Sam walked into his classroom and saw Gabriel sitting at his desk. He quickly shut the door.
"Professor Novak?" Gabriel looked up and smiled widely at Sam.
"Well, if it isn't my favorite student. How are you, kiddo?"
"Better now." Sam set his books down.
Gabriel tried to remain calm when Sam walked over and gently ran a hand through Gabriel's hair. He grabbed a handful of Gabriel's hair at the base of his head and gently pulled his head back so that he would meet Sam's eyes. Sam then leaned forward so that his nose was practically touching Gabriel's. Gabriel gulped.
"Sir, I was wondering something. Would it be wrong for me to kiss you before class starts?" Sam said in hushed tones. Gabriel didn't trust his voice so he shook his head. Sam smiled and gave Gabriel a quick kiss and then pulled away.
"I missed you the rest of the weekend." Sam couldn't stop the words coming out of mouth. It was stupid and sappy. Something that probably shouldn't have been said this early in their relationship.
"Well yeah, I'm a great catch." Gabriel smirked before pulling Sam into another kiss. The doorknob twisted and Sam jumped away from Gabriel like he had been burned. His classmates walked in and Gabriel improvised.
"Really well done, Mr. Winchester."
"Thank you, sir." Sam smiled and walked over to his seat. It was kind of fun almost getting caught by his classmates. It was a little bit of a rush. Maybe him and Gabriel could make out in their classroom more. Sam looked back at Gabriel and Gabriel gave him a knowing smile. Sam turned back around and started talking to Jessica.
Gabriel was feeling the same rush that Sam was. Almost getting caught with Sam had been an unexpected feeling for the day. Maybe he should talk to Sam about a meeting after school. Start in his office and then go back to his place...the bell rang dragging Gabriel back to reality. He stood up and walked to the front of the classroom.
"Good morning, everybody. Some of these stories were very good. You did some very nice changes for the final draft." He walked around handing out papers and then stopped at Sam's desk. He locked eyes with him and beamed.
"Mr. Winchester, can I see you after class?" Sam smiled back.
"Of course, Professor Novak." The rest of the class was Gabriel going over their next assignment. He tried to avoid eye contact with Sam because every time he did, he felt himself grin like an idiot. Wow, now he sort of understood bad romantic comedies, only sort of. The bell rang and Gabriel walked over to his desk. He waited and saw two figures in front of his desk. Lucifer sighed.
"Mr. Novak?" Gabriel knew he would be annoyed, but he needed to tell him.
"Lucifer, that wasn't an original story. You copied it from Hemingway." Lucifer looked legitimately surprised.
"Is he that…?"
"Ernest Hemingway. You copied Ernest Hemingway. You're getting an 'F' for this assignment, and I want you to start turning in your rough drafts." Lucifer sighed again and nodded.
"Yes, sir." He turned to Sam. "Thought more about Friday?"
"Oh, um...not really. I'll let you know."
"Great. See you guys later." Lucifer walked out and Sam turned back to Gabriel's desk.
"You wanted to see me, sir?" Sam smiled and his dimples popped out. Gabriel smiled back.
"Yeah um…you don't work tonight, and I'm leaving here around four. Do you want to maybe meet in my office so I could maybe help you with that paper for your science class? I know that teacher is a stickler for formatting."
"Yeah, I could use the help."
"Great, see you later." Gabriel's eyes twinkled. Sam wanted to give Gabriel another kiss, but then he heard some people walk in. He decided leaving was probably the best idea at that point. He knew that he was going to have to face Kevin at his locker this time. As if on cue, as soon as Sam got to their locker, Kevin arrived too.
"Oh, hey Kev," Sam began.
"So, I'm your friend again? You blow me off all weekend, lie to me, and now we're good?" Kevin leaned against the locker next to theirs. Sam sighed.
"Kevin, nothing is going on between me and…?"
"Nothing's going on with you and who?" Ruby appeared as if out of nowhere. "Because I'd love for us to have something going on, Sam." She grinned wickedly.
"Uh…thanks? I'm uh…I'm good though. Sam looked back at Kevin. "Kev, listen, I'm not stupid and neither is he, we just…"
"Wait! He?! Shit, Lucifer told me I was barking up the wrong tree." Sam closed his eyes and rubbed the bride of his nose.
"Ruby, look, I'm trying to have a conversation with my friend, can you please keep your comments to yourself?" Ruby stuck out her bottom lip in a pout.
"Fine, but we'll see who he is on Friday, and if I can't make you forget about him." Ruby slammed her locker shut and blew a kiss to Sam.
"What's happening Friday?" Kevin asked bitterly as Ruby walked away. "Something else you're going to lie to me about?"
"Lucifer is having a party on Friday and I got invited for some reason."
"The reason is that Ruby wants in your pants." Kevin replied nonchalantly as he grabbed his things out of the locker.
"Gross, thanks for that image."
"Would you rather I said Mr. Novak?" Sam felt the blush on the back of his neck and was hoping that Kevin couldn't tell it was there.
"Will you let that go? Even if something was going on," Sam looked into his best friend's eyes, hoping he could convey the message. It wouldn't be his fault if Kevin figure it out on his own, right? Kevin was smart; he could easily figure things out. "I would NOT be able to tell you. Do we understand each other?" Kevin lifted one corner of his mouth.
"Yeah man, I mean, that's all you had to say."
