Hello! Sorry it's taken so long to update this but I had NO idea what to do for March. Now, I do so here ya go! Enjoy!

March-St. Patty's Day

On St. Patrick's day, even though she wasn't a bit Irish, Kate's mother dressed her all in green; green long sleeved shirt, green converse, even a pair of green denim jeans! And she painted a four-leaf clover on her cheek, making Kate giggle when she looked at herself in the mirror.

"I look funny," she laughed, looking up at her mother. Johanna smiled.

"You look adorable," she said, pinching Kate's un-clovered cheek. "Ready for school? Go grab your backpack." Kate nodded and ran to her room to gather her things.

When she arrived at school she was not the least bit surprised to find Castle standing there, talking to Javier and Kevin, and wearing a kilt. She shook her head as she walked up.

"Did Miss Rodgers really let you wear that to school?" she asked as she came to stand next to him. Castle grinned and nodded.

"She says that it takes a real man to wear a kilt. Besides, it's St. Patrick's day and I'm one-quarter Irish," he said, proudly.

"And Kevin's 100% Irish, but he's not wearing a skirt."

Castle glared at her. "It's not a skirt! It's a kilt!"

Kate shrugged. "Poe-tay-toe, Pah-tah-toe. Same thing, Castle." Castle huffed and the boys giggled.

Both Kevin and Javier were dressed all in green. Since Javi, like Kate, wasn't at all Irish, all he had was a green shirt tucked into his jeans, but Kevin had on a full Irish get-up. He was wearing a pale green dress shirt under a dark green sweatervest, a white tie with a clover pattern, green corduroy pants, and green dress shoes. "Kevin, you look like a Leprechaun," Kate said, laughing. "So cute!"

Kevin pouted. "My mom made me wear this. She gave me a hat, too." He pointed to the green felt hat on his desk and Kate laughed; it really did look like a Leprechaun's hat. "She goes a little overboard sometimes," Kevin explained to Castle, whose eyes had widened at the sight of the hat.

Just then, Lanie came up, wearing absolutely no green at all. Javi took that chance to pinch her arm.

"Ow!" she shouted. "Javi, what was that for?"

Javier shrugged. "You're not wearing any green," he said, by way of explanation. "It's St. Patty's day."

"So? I ain't Irish! And neither are you!" Lanie scolded, punching him in the arm. Javi yelped and jumped away from her. Kevin and Castle laughed and he glared at them. Kate just rolled her eyes and made her way to the couch to read for the last couple of minutes before school started. Lanie followed her, sending another glare at Javi as she rubbed her arm. She sat against the couch as Kate read. Javi looked at her with a frown.

"She really doesn't like me, does she?" he said, pouting.

"Why would she when you pinch her like that?" Kevin said. "Girls don't like to be pinched."

"How do you know?" Javi asks, incredulously.

"I have two sisters," Kevin reminds him.

"Oh, yeah…well I have a sister!"

"Nita can't hold her head up on her own yet; I highly doubt she's been pinched by a boy. Unless you-"

"Never; Mama would kill me!"

"Well, now that that's settled," Castle interjected, "I think Mr. M is trying to get our attention." He pointed towards the front where it looked like Mr. Montgomery had just given up. Suddenly, he looked up, put two fingers between his lips and blew, nearly knocking out more than two dozen sets of eardrums with an ear-shattering whistle. Everybody looked up, wide-eyed.

"Now that I have your attention," he said, "Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone. Now, come take your seats so we can start our day."

Everybody began walking to their seats, chattering amongst themselves. Javi stood by Lanie's desk, toeing the ground, shyly. When she walked up, looking at him questioningly, with her hands on her hips, he took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for pinching you," he apologized.

Lanie's face softened. "It's okay," she said, "I'm sorry for punching you. That must have hurt a lot more."

Javi absently rubbed his arm. "Yeah, you've got quite an arm…for a girl, anyway." Lanie raised a fist in warning and Javi put his hands up in surrender. "Kidding! Kidding!" He said, scurrying back to his seat, next to Ryan. Lanie giggled and took her seat, glancing back at him.

He was something else.

Meanwhile, Castle had sat down at his desk, surprising Kate by pulling on a cap that said, "Kiss me, I'm Irish!" Kate rolled her eyes as Castle wiggled his eyebrows at her, fighting back a smile. She shakes her head at him and he pouts, making her giggle. Kate decided to humor him and blew him a kiss from her palm. Castle pretended to catch it and smashed it to his lips.

"Mr. Castle, are you okay?" Montgomery asked him.

Castle's eyes widened and he blushed. "Um, yes sir, I'm okay."

Kate had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing.

REVIEW!

P.S. So, I've decided that I'm not going to do every year. I'm just going to do the first year of each school. (AKA First grade in elementary school, 6th grade in Middle School) And then I will do important moments in High School, then College. I might do a sequel to explore their adult lives with this start, but I have to know that that's what y'all wanna see. So leave me a REVIEW!

P.P.S: Should I put Ryan in Catholic school? Or should I keep him with everybody else?
