A/N: Fanfictiondotnet! Why do you screw around with my story layout? It was all nice and neat BEFORE I uploaded it. Ugh. And now the spacing is warped. I guess I'll just have to set this out like my Vampire Knight one with the little divider thing. Just a heads up…. I have absolutely no idea where this story is headed. And my ability to plan out the finer details before I write is, well, non-existent.
So please bear with me.
I decided to update again, because my brother is being very selfish and is downloading a massive file on his computer. And, WoW is lagging horribly because of it… Which meant had pretty much nothing to do tonight. Oh well.
Thank you to the anonymous reviewer: Angel Ayame! I'm very happy you've enjoyed it so far. 3
~The Only Thing I'm Missing~
"Janiel?" Castiel asked in mild surprise as I wove my way in between the students who stood in groups in the courtyard. It was recess, and I was glad to have gotten out of the classroom and out into the fresh air. All I seemed capable of all morning was trying to think of a means of persuasion in order to get Castiel to sign his absentee note.
"Janiel?" Castiel repeated quietly as I closed in on him. "What are you doing out here? Leave, before someone sees."
I rolled my eyes, stuffing the note into his hands. Yep. The more forceful option always seemed to work with him.
"Too late, genius. Someone already knows. Now sign this will you?"
Castiel un-crumpled the note and glanced over it.
"No," he growled. "I'm not signing it."
I narrowed my eyes at him. Boys were stubborn.
"Oh, yes you are."
"No," he repeated, shoving the note back into my open bag.
"You can tell that cream puff to shove off. He needs to mind his own business."
I shook my head, taking the note out of my bag again. Of course, it'd be easy enough for me to just sign the note on his behalf, seeing as we were both independent. Forging his signature was also an option. But both seemed too easy. And I was quite content on making Nathanial wait as long as possible.
And because Castiel was my brother, as all loving sisters do, I took pride in pushing him to his limits.
Castiel wasn't completely arrogant, at least. And of course he would sign the note – eventually. All it would take, however, was the right buttons to be pushed.
"Look," I said flatly as I held out the note towards him. "Nathanial already knows we're related. And, he said that he'd be more than willing to tell everyone in the school that you're my big brother if you don't sign it. You wouldn't want your delinquent reputation to be ruined, would you?"
Castiel narrowed his eyes dangerously; each of us staring the other down, before quickly, he snatched the note out of my hand. Pulling a fourpen out of his pocket, he scratched his signature onto the crumpled paper messily then shoved it back at me.
"There," he growled. "Are you happy now?"
I flashed him a triumphant grin.
"Very. I'll leave you alone to finish sulking. See ya."
I headed quickly back into the busy hallway, dodging students before making a right into the Student Council Room.
As expected, Nathanial was sitting at a table, his nose buried into a novel.
"Don't you ever leave?" I asked as I dropped the note onto the table in front of him.
He didn't look up as he turned the page in his novel and continued to read.
"Yes," he replied blankly. "I do go home after school. Is the note signed?"
"No," I said sarcastically. "I just spent fifteen minutes out there talking to him to bring you back an unsigned note."
Nathanial's lips curled up into a smile and he lifted his golden eyes to look at me.
"You even sound like your brother."
I frowned. "No, I don't."
Laughing, Nathanial pulled the note towards him and glanced over it.
"Wow, he actually signed it. What excuse did you use?"
I tapped the side of my nose.
"It's signed. That's all you need. Now, if you don't mind, I'm leaving."
I moved towards the door, jumping backwards with surprise when it opened by itself.
A tall, thin brunette smiled apologetically at me as she stepped into the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she said politely. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's okay," I smiled, stepping aside to let her pass.
"Melody," Nathanial called from the back of the room. "This is the new student, Janiel."
Melody halted, pivoting slowly on her feet to face me once more.
"Oh, so you're Castiel's little sister? It's very nice to meet you! I'm Melody, your year level delegate."
"It's nice to meet you, too," I said awkwardly.
Honestly, did everyone in this school know we were related?
Melody grinned, cottoning on.
"I see. Would you like me to show you around the school, Janiel? You can't have had very much time to explore."
I nodded. "Yes, thank you. That would be nice."

I sat next to the window during Advance Mathematics Methods, as far away from all of the unfamiliar faces as possible. They, too, seemed quite content to avoid sitting near the 'strange new girl'. I was quite relieved to have an empty desk next to me.
It was twenty minutes into the class, and I had been stuck trying to work out an equation on the worksheet for quite a while. Knowing I wasn't going to get anywhere, I gazed out of the window, enjoying every moment of the suns warm rays that reflected through the glass.
The classroom door swung open and my head snapped to attention, startled.
My eyes travelled towards the door. There, in the doorway stood a tall, lean figure, his disheveled notebooks piled in his arms, loose pieces of paper stuck out of them in all angles.
I froze, staring at him unblinkingly.
What was he doing in this class?
The teacher, too, looked up towards the door, not pleased by the late-comer interrupting her lesson.
"Lysander," she asked sternly. "Why are you so late?"
"Sorry," he said lightly. "I couldn't remember where I left my textbook."
Shaking her head, the teacher sighed.
"Alright then, take a seat and start your work."
As he passed by her, she handed him a worksheet.
He glanced quickly around the classroom, observing all of the empty chairs, before crossing towards the window and settling down at a desk two away from mine.
Silently, Lysander spread his material out over his desk and set to work answering the equations.
I guess he must enjoy Maths then, I mused. Funny. I wouldn't pin him as someone to have taken the Advance class.
After contemptuously glaring at my unsolved equation, I turned with a huff to stare out the window once more.
"You're not taking into account that a is a constant, Janiel," said a voice and I was snapped out of my daydream. "That's why you can't solve it."
"Pardon?" I asked, looking away from the window.
Lysander had moved across to the empty desk next to mine and was staring at my worksheet, attempting to decipher my messy workings-out on the side.
"It's a. Right there. See? That is the constant."
"Oh... Are you finished already?"
"Ages ago," Lysander said in his usual, somewhat distant voice. "Did you need any more help?"
I shook my head.
"Calculus isn't really my forte. So, you'd just be wasting your time. But thank you for the offer."
"It doesn't really help when you've come into a class half way through a semester," he mused. "Or, when you're a year younger than the rest of the class."
"I suppose," I said slowly. "Or, it could be something to do with the fact that I just can't get my head around Calculus. It's pointless."
"That's also true," Lysander said. "Well, let me know if you need any help."
"Okay."
He slid back across to his chair before furrowing his brows, turning to face me once more.
"Oh, and Janey? Can you tell Castiel that band practice is at my house tonight?"
Before I had time to answer, his lips curled upwards into a smile, revealing each one of his perfectly straight, brilliantly white teeth. He looked angelic.
"Thanks, Janey."

A/N: My brain started hurting when it came to the second half of this. Maths? I don't know the stuff. I dropped it at the end of year ten, so, thank goodness for Google. In all honesty, I don't have a clue what an Intergral is. All I know is it has something to do with Calculus and has squiggly lines in it. xD
