Castiel wakes up in bed staring at his blank ceiling. "What do you want, Gabriel?" He turns to face the scrawny, black haired boy standing at his door.

"You and your friends were at school later than usual yesterday. Why?" He stares as Castiel rises out of bed. "We had a mystery to solve," Castiel stated neutrally.

"Is it solved?" Gabriel watched every move. "No. Why are you interested all of a sudden anyways?" Castiel looked at Gabriel giving him full eye-contact.

"Just be careful Castiel. Father won't like it if you get in trouble." Gabriel let go of Castiel's door and walked away in the red-carpeted hallway.

Castiel got dressed and walked to his large kitchen where everyone sat. He passed his older brother Michael as he angrily stormed off to his room. Typical day this is becoming.

Castiel sat down quietly at his chair. He was one of the youngest in his family. He lived with all his brothers, in his father's mansion.

Castiel stared long as hard at Gabriel who also sat there quiet.

"So what are we supposed to do, Michael? Tell me!" Lucifer stood at the table staring at Michael who had just come back down the stairs. "You don't want to be here, Lucifer. I am the oldest; I get the say. You understand me"

Michael came off strong. Castiel always admired his older brother, especially how he took control when he was mad. Growing up with him wasn't easy for Castiel.

The two continued bickering as the boys left the table one at a time. Castiel grabbed his stuff and headed for school. Gabriel followed.

Castiel turned to find Gabriel trailing his path. He continued walking. "Those kids you hang out with, how are they?" Castiel found it odd Gabriel was at concern.

Castiel's household wasn't the most popular in the neighbourhood. The four eldest brothers were widely known as freaks while the rest of them were just oddly strange kids that went to school, that included Castiel.

"What were the kids looking for Castiel? Tell me." Gabriel insisted Castiel to open his mouth. Castiel shut both his mind and mouth and kept walking.

"Castiel this is important. Tell me now, or I will have to investigate myself." Castiel turned to Gabriel signalling him that he should do as he pleases.

"Hey Cas!" A voice called out from behind and Castiel was in relief, it was Dean. Dean ran up to Castiel and his brother. Dean caught Gabriel's eyes and Gabriel left immediately after his arrival.

"That's your brother?" Dean spoke to Castiel as if he knew something, Castiel could sense it. Castiel nodded yes.

"Well anyways, I was wondering if you"—Castiel's face began to light up and Dean turned away—"Whoa, haven't seen her before." Just like that he took off. Castiel turned to watch him walk away.

Sam walked up close to Castiel. "Yeah, he does that, a lot." He looked at him as Ruby clanged from his right arm-side.

"Hey, Cas!" Jo ran up from behind and hugged him. What is wrong with her, he thought.

Dean returned from hitting on the girl, "Whoa, so the gangs all here, huh!" He smiled his usual and the kids left for class.

Zachariah watched Castiel walk in class on time with the other kids. He eyed him as he went to sit. Castiel knew he was watching but continued to look down.

Jo sat down next to him with a thump, and Dean leaned back on his chair with his hands behind his head. His head was so close Castiel had to lean back as well.

"Winchester, this is school, not home. Sit up." Zachariah seemed stricter today.

"Well, Mr. Z I like to consider this my second home sometimes. You see"—"Cut the crap and sit up. I don't have time for this."

Dean turned to look at Jo. "Is he always like this?" Jo shrugged.

Zachariah looked down at Dean startling him. "Maybe if you came to class every day you would know," he whispered almost demonically.

Castiel glanced at Zachariah's face. It's Yelloweyes. I know it.

Sam put his hand up looking at Zachariah. Castiel watched Ruby give him a nudge. "I have a guidance appointment, sir"

Confused as everyone else, he pointed towards the door as Sam bolted out. Ruby watched him walk away. She looked at Zachariah, "No." She sat quietly for the next ten minutes.

666

Jo watched Zachariah leave the room. "Guys, this is our chance." Castiel stared blankly at her face; he knows there was a mission.

"I heard he has a stash of things he collects from students in his second drawer." Castiel stared at Jo. She was serious. "Should we not be looking for Sam?"

"Castiel's right. Sammy might be in trouble." Castiel's heart lit up. He loved it when Dean acknowledged him. He just didn't want to show it.

Ruby barges into the conversation, "But he said he's going to guidance."

Dean sighed. "Ruby, our school doesn't have guidance." Ruby and Dean stared at each other long and hard. It was as if they wanted to burn a hole in each other's face. "You would know this why?"

"We can't all leave." Ruby turned away and folded her arms. Dean held his head high, grinning, pertaining he won that argument.

"I'll go." Jo said volunteering. Dean and Ruby looked at Jo. She was chewing gum sitting back on her chair like a man. I can't believe she is actually leaving. Can this be the happiest moment of my life?

"Let's go, Castiel." She turned to him sharply. My life is over; Castiel looked at her and thought.

"You go alone; I'll follow when Z gets back." Castiel, for the first time felt like a leader. "Sounds good." She left with her curls bouncing up and down.

She was at the foot of the door when Zachariah made a sudden appearance. Jo popped her pink bubble. "Joanne where do you think you're going, miss?" She stared at him half startled and wide eyed.

"Uhm, girl problems!" She slid passed him running. Zachariah stood there motionless.

"I hate when they do that," he said under his breath.

"Castiel, this is your chance." Dean turned from his desk and whispered. Shit. I didn't think we were actually going to do this.

"Right," Castiel spoke with fake confidence. She walked towards Zachariah. The room was quiet and the kids were deep into their essay writing. Castiel gulped. He watched as Zachariah marked papers with fierce red markings.

He watched him draw lines in anger. What did I get myself into?

"I need to be excused." Zachariah looked up emotionless. "Why is that Castiel, what's wrong?"

Sweat dripped down Castiel's face. He had nothing to say. "Uhm, boy problems!" He bolted out the door hoping Zachariah would not bother to stop him. Why the hell not, he thought. The class watched the awkward run and giggled.

"Back to work; you will get no extensions." He turned to Dean who had his head down. "Winchester, wake up." Dean lifted his head, stretched his arms and yawned. "Lunch time already?"

The class giggled. He was indeed the class clown. He smiled back at Zachariah who didn't think he was that funny. "Yeah, yeah, I'm getting back to it." He rolled his eyes and went back to work.

Castiel crept down the hallways. Now where would Jo be?

An idea hatched in his brain and he was off. He turned down two hallways and of course, he found her. "Jo?" He spoke almost regretting it. She was standing next to the vending machine.

"Hey Castiel, I need help, come over here." She turned towards the machine.

"We are supposed to be looking for Sam. What are you doing here?" Jo looked at Castiel. "You worry too much; now help me get this box of watermelon candy out."

He stared at the foolish girl as she stuck her hand inside the vending machine. "You are going to get hurt." He removed her hand and placed his hand on the centre eye of the machine. He closed his eyes.

A few packs of red and green watermelon candy fell out loosely. "How did you do that?" She stared at him almost freaked out.

"Don't worry, grab the candy. We have much work to do." Castiel helped her shove the small bags into their pockets. She didn't seem so astonished anymore. How easily amused she is.

"What else can you do that with?" Jo stared at Castiel. "It only works with candy and specifically this one." She continued to stare at him. "I will teach you one day." The words flowed out like water. She smiled and lost all suspicion.

I just robbed a vending machine and lied to a hot girl. I am on a roll.

666

Castiel and Jo ran down the hallways and inspected every hallway before turning. Jo popped candy in her mouth. Castiel couldn't help but to do the same. For the first time, he felt like a normal kid, all thanks to this girl.

"I think we should check YellowEyes' classroom, the detention hall." Jo stared at Castiel. "You get the feeling he's behind this?" Castiel looked ahead, "yes."

The two ran through the hallways hoping to find Sam, at least safe and sound.

Meanwhile…

Zachariah got up from his desk waking up Dean. Dean looked up at Zachariah and then at Ruby who seemed to be sleeping as well. He threw an eraser at her.

She shot up with a nasty look on her face. "Dick!" She was pretty serious, I wonder how Sam puts up with her, he thought.

Zachariah watched them. "I would like everyone to find a partner; we are marking each other's essays. Since Dean and Ruby are such good friends they will be partners…also because the rest of the back group left with girl problems." He returned to his desk.

Dean passed Ruby his paper and Ruby passed hers. She walked up and sat next to him. "I'll go easy, since you clearly have so much written." She turned to him with an evil grin.

"Well at least I didn't doodle all over mine." He grinned and showed flicked her paper at her. They began reading.

Dean got bored halfway and stared at the ceiling and caught Ruby doing the same. She looked at him, "You are done too?"

"Yes and a fine read that was." He spoke with confidence covering his sarcasm. Ruby gave him a half smile and carried on looking around the class. "I hope the others found Sam, I'm worried."

Dean nodded in agreement.
