A/N: OK, I said I was going to update today one more time, so here it is. I know it's not much, but I've got a lot on my plate right now, and I'm not even sure if I should keep writing this fic- Idk, I just don't think it's that good. Maybe it's because I didn't write the entire storyline out ahead of time? Idk, like I said, this was a really spontaneous thing that happened during a boring lunch hour. So you'll have to bear with me while I try to get my shit together. Thanks, guys. I really do appriciate it.

"Of course I'm not mad," Charlie says to me as we walk up to her room, out backpacks, two spoons, and a pint of ben & jerrys ice cream with us, "Well, not as long as you swear to tell me all the juicy details." She grins at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not…. I don't have a thing for Cas." I think, and then add, "Lisa sure thinks I do, though. She said I'm failing chem just to hang out with her."

"Well," Charlie says, popping open the container and sticking a spoon in, "Lisa is a jealous bitch."

"I concur." I say, and Charlie grins up at me. That was a thing we started to do a few years ago- the 'I concur', I mean- after we watched some movie with Leonardo DiCaprio in it (Jo had a thing for him at the time), where, basically, he had to pretend to be a doctor or something, and the whole time, whenever anyone said anything to him, he just said 'I concur', so now me and Charlie do it as kind of a joke, and usually around Jo. It annoys the hell out of her. It's hilarious when it isn't downright terrifying.

"So. Tell me all the details." Charlie says.

I do.

-666-

"Well," She says, tossing out the empty container of ice cream, "I think she's awesome; if she wasn't straight, I'd be all up in there."

"God, Charlie." I say, "Really?"

She grins, "Not gonna lie."

I roll my eyes, "Whatever."

She looks at me, "But really." She meets my gaze, "If it came to it, who would you choose?" She narrows her eyes, "Lisa or Cas?"

"Lisa." I say, after pausing far longer than I should have to. And I think we both know why I said Lisa, too.

Not because it's the truth, that's for sure.

-666-

"I just don't get it." Lisa's saying, "What does that little freak have that I don't?"

I sigh. It's been like this almost since the start. Lisa has an issue with Cas, and I don't really know why. Oh, wait, yeah, I actually do. It's because I, a heterosexual male, has been spending a freaking hour with her, a heterosexual female -who is NOT Lisa- outside of school. And doing what? STUDYING CHEMISTRY. It's driving me up the wall.

"Look, sweetheart. I need to be academically eligible to play on the football team, which means if I fail chem- like I almost did- Then that could mean no more sports. At all this semester, you understand? And I have to work with her- it's not my choice- I don't even like her," I say, frustrated, words I don't mean slipping out of my mouth, "Look, she means nothing to me, okay? Zip. Zilch. ZERO. The minute I scrape by chem, I'll never talk to her again."

Suddenly, Lisa is grinning at something over my shoulder like she just won a million dollars. But not really- I mean, it's not a happy grin, more… I duno, malevolent, I guess. (God, Cas really is rubbing off on me). Naturally I turn around, you know, to see what Lisa was looking at, and what do I see?

Castiel FUCKING Novak. She's just standing there, her eyes wide and stunned, like a deer in headlights. I open my mouth, shaking my head, trying to convey my message- I didn't mean it! Any of it!- without actually speaking. Before I can walk up to her and explain everything and how goddamn sorry I am- I didn't mean any of it, Cas. Not one word!- She's gone. Turned on her heel and walked away. And somehow, I know she'll never believe anything I say. I rub my hand over my eyes, not wanting to wake up tomorrow and realize it wasn't a bad dream, not wanting to see Lisa's smug grin, not wanting to face what a fuckup I am, and most certainally not wanting to have to face Cas tomorrow.

A/N: Okay. That's all I have for you. I only had about 15 minutes to write this, so sue me. I did what I could. AnYwAyYy… THE PLOT THICKENS, right? My first cliffhanger. Whatever. I have no fucking clue when I'll be on again, but I'll do what I can :) Ily guys, and I'm doing my best.
