A/N: BIG THANKS to those who reviewed. I will say, I loved writing the last chapter, but this chapter will keep the "Dean falling away from Sam" storyline.

Do you mind changing your disguise
If it makes me happy?"

"Hey Sammy, wake up. Time for school".
Sam's eyes shot open and he found himself staring at Dean, who was looming right over him. Sam pushed his older brother away from him and rubbed his eyes. It's been two weeks since they started their new school and both of the boys found themselves enjoying it, mostly for the new friends they had made, though Sam was still keeping an eye on Dean's so-called "friends".
After Sam changed from his pajamas to a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, he walked into the kitchen where Dean was wolfing down a bowl of cereal. Sam sat across from his brother, digging into the cereal Dean had poured for him.
"Dean?" The older boy stopped eating and focused his eyes on his little brother.
"Yeah?" came the response.
"Well," Sam paused, "I'm staying after school today, so don't wait up for me".
"Alright," Dean sighed, "What's it for? Not turning into a drama geek for the school play are you, cause I heard on the announcements the auditions were today?"
"No, that's not it," Sam said, "It's something else". Dean's eyes widened.
"Sammy, you didn't join a gang did you?"
"WHAT?! Dean, I'm not stupid. It's just this study group that a couple of my friends and I are doing. I'm just going over to my friend Chris' house. I'll be home by 5".
"Okay, okay, fine. Just don't infect me with your geekiness and you can go". Sam smiled. Dean brought his empty bowl to the sink, washed it, and went over to his backpack.
"Dean, where are you going? Are you really that anxious about school on a Monday?" Sam asked, a smirk on his face.
"You would really like that wouldn't you? No, Brian and a couple of the other guys are picking me up and taking me to school". Sam could feel the anger rise inside him, but he knew he couldn't just yell at his brother.
"But Dean, the school is only five minutes away, we walk there every morning and get to class on time."
"So, what if I want to spend a little more time with my friends?" Sam knew he could have come back with something, but he knew it wouldn't solve any problems.
"Alright, whatever. See you later" came the younger boys response. Dean smiled, opened the front door, and left the house. Sam wanted to say "See you in Gym" but he knew that Dean probably would do what he has done the past two weeks, choose his new friends over his little brother. Sam washed his empty bowl and made sure he had everything he needed for school. As he made his way outside, he felt water droplets hit him from above.
"Great start to the day," Sam whispered to himself as he walked towards school in the rain.

"Dude, you look like shit," Chris whispered to Sam before class started.
"Thanks," Sam sighed, wanting to be invisible for the millionth time since school started. He was the only student in the classroom that looked like they had taken a shower with their clothes on.
"Here," Chris said, reaching into his backpack. He brought out a towel and handed it to Sam, "I brought it just in case the roof was leaking on the bus, thank God it wasn't".
Sam thanked his friend and started drying his hair off with the towel. Today was going to be a long day. He couldn't wait for school to be over.

Gym wasn't any better. He was mentally tortured as he watched Dean hang out with his new friends. Lunch was just a clone of gym as well, Dean ditching him to be with his new friends.
At the end of the day, he watched as kids piled out of the school, free from the evil teachers until tomorrow. But not Sam. He watched as his older brother left the school, laughing and joking with his friends. Even though he wanted to punch his brother right now, he felt proud that Dean trusted him. Sam knew he had lied to Dean, but he also knew what Dean would have said if he had told the truth.
Sam quickly turned away and made his way to the school auditorium where the auditions for the fall play were about to begin.

A/N: Sorry it's so short. I just wanted to get this chapter out there. The next one should be longer. Again thank you to those who reviewed.
