A/N: Updates, again! I think this is the fastest I've ever updated a series. Jessica, if you're reading this; please don't kill me, haha!
Currently procrastinating my essay on Liberalism(s) to write this; because that topic is boring and I'm easily distracted.
Please feel free to add my MCL character. It's the same name as my pen-name on here. :D

I sighed as I tried to match my brother's pace as he strode down the footpath.
"Hey, wait up!" I called out to his retreating back. "Castiel! I said wait!"
Castiel maintained his speed as he rounded the corner. Without turning to look at me, he called back over his shoulder.
"Hurry up Janiel," he did a head-check to make sure nobody was around before slowing down for me. "I don't want anyone to think that we're related."
Re-adjusting my overflowing school bag, I scrambled quickly to his side.
"Sure," I said sarcastically, "because we don't look the same at all."
Castiel rolled his eyes.
"Look, Janiel, I've been at this school for a year already. If they knew that you were my little sister, being a little goody-two-shoes and all-"
"I am not," I retorted. "I just want to get somewhere in life."
"Whatever," Castiel shrugged. "But if anyone finds out that you're my little sister, they'd expect me to actually do homework, rather than just give it to Demon to eat. That's not going to happen. Not now, not ever. Got it?"
I shook my head, brushing my long black hair over my shoulder.
"Of course, Cas. The last name isn't a giveaway or anything."
Narrowing his eyes at me, he muttered a quick 'see you at home' before quickening his pace once more and speeding away.
"Wow," I laughed. "If I didn't know better, it'd look as though he's actually eager to get to school."
Following along in Castiel's direction, I dug through my bag to make sure I had everything with me.
"Enrollment form: Check. Photo I.D: Check…. Thank goodness Cas reminded me to get one yesterday afternoon or I never would have remembered. Let's see, what else do I need?"
Crossing off my mental list, I made my way into the school, wandering around the yard for a few minutes until I found the entrance into the hallway.

The hallway was filled with the chatter of at least fifty early-birds, all who were gossiping about last night's Sweet Amoris Talent episode as they gathered their equipment and books for their first class, stuffing their bags hastily into their lockers.
I never was one for crowds, quickly opting to sneak off into the tranquility and peace of the nearest room.
Closing the door behind me, I sighed. How can someone possibly classify Sweet Amoris Talent as entertaining? It was bias, rigged and not to mention incredibly pointless, as most (appearance centered) talent shows were.
A throat cleared from behind me and my body stiffened slightly.
I guess this room wasn't entirely empty…
Turning, my eyes fell upon a blond haired boy dressed in a neat business-like shirt and chinos.
"Can I help you?" he asked, setting his novel down onto the table, somewhat annoyed by the interruption.
"Oh," I began slowly. "Sorry… I was just trying to escape the noise."
The blond shook his head and smiled.
"So, you chose to escape into the Student Council room? That's a first."
I bit my bottom lip and smiled.
"Well, actually, I thought this was a classroom. I'm technically a new student, and the room looked pretty much the same as the rest of the rooms when you're standing out in the hallway."
"New?" he asked with mild surprise. "So you're Janiel. I've been waiting for you to arrive so that we can go over your paperwork and application form. I'm Nathanial, the Student Body President."
Nathanial? So this is the cocky, egocentric bookworm that Castiel always mad-mouthed? He doesn't seem all that bad…
"Erm, nice to meet you," I managed to say quietly, still caught up in my thoughts. Digging through my bag, I pulled out a plastic pocket which held my forms and placed them on the table in front of him.
"Pleasure," Nathanial nodded, and quickly, he sifted through the loose sheets of paper.
"Let's see," he mused. "You still need to pay your enrollment fee…"
"Oh!"
Quickly, I pulled my purse out of my bag and unzipped it, thumbing through the colourful plastic notes until I had the right amount.
"Sorry, I almost completely forgot. There you go," I said, placing the money on top of the enrollment form.
"Great," Nathanial smiled. "I'm glad that was sorted out quickly."
He returned to his note reviewing before looking up at me moments later.
"You also need a Student I.D card before you can formally begin classes here."
I grinned, sliding the plastic card out of the slip in my purse.
"Got it already."
Nathanial stared at the little piece of plastic between my fingertips.
"Most new students tend to forget that, and, as a result, end up having to run off to the store nearby to get one."
Giving the I.D card a twirl between my fingers, I slipped it back into my purse.
"Yeah, I had a bit of a reminder beforehand."
"Castiel told you?" He asked and I furrowed my brows.
"No…" I said, stringing together a response as quickly as possible. "What makes you think that?"
Nathanial's lips tugged upwards in a smug smile, his index finger trailing down my enrollment form before tapping on a word: I squinted slightly to see what it was.
"The both of you share the same surname."
I paused for a moment to think of an answer.
"Well," I began slowly. "It's a common last name?"
Nathanial shook his head.
"Not really."
"I bet there's another person in the school with the same last name as you," I defended.
"There is," Nathanial said, the smugness in his voice becoming more apparent as the conversation moved along. "And that person is my sister."
Oh, son of a….
"Right," I drawled, as I scooped up my paperwork and, without slipping them back into the plastic pocket, I headed for the door.
"Well, I'm off. See ya."
"Bye," Nathanial said triumphantly. "Oh, and Janiel? When you see your brother, tell him he needs to come see me to sign some paperwork, otherwise he will face expulsion."
I turned around to stare at him in disbelief.
"What?"
"It's quite simple, Janiel. You see: Your brother," he began, being sure to put clear emphasis on the word 'brother', "has been skipping classes lately. His attendance is incredibly poor. He either needs to sign the note or get expelled. Since you're his sister, it'd be easiest if you talk to him for me."
Right, I see where you're going with this.
"So, you expect me to do your dirty work for you? Even it if means confronting Castiel about something he obviously doesn't want to talk about?"
"Yes, pretty much."
I grumbled to myself as I pushed open the door to head back out into the hallway.
"Oh, and Janiel!" Nathanial called out after me. "Welcome to Sweet Amoris High."
Looks like Castiel was right about this guy after all...

A/N: Nathanial, you manipulative little…. You made Castiel hate me when you asked me to get that note signed. Bah!
Sorry this chapter didn't have any Lysander in it. I'm just sort of setting up the story with this chapter. ^^;
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.
