It was Friday. I was on lunch break and Castiel didn't have class at all today so he dropped by the store with some tacos. I stared at Sam's number as I ate. I hadn't called him yet, and he hadn't come by the store since he gave it to me. I had to call him today to confirm our plans. I didn't know exactly where to take him.

I couldn't exactly go five star, my financial situation was a little constricting. (I was broke) Cas's voice broke me out of my thoughts.

"Hmm?" I hummed with my mouth full. He just smiled patiently.

"Whats worrying you, Gabriel?" He looked like he already knew what I was thinking about.

"I don't know, Cassie. You know I can't take Sam anywhere really nice. If he's going to Stanford he's eaither rich or smart enough to know stone broke when he sees it." I sighed and pocketed the number.

Cas looked down, I knew he felt guilty about being such a burden. I reached over and patted his arm, which earned me a soft smile.

Looking up again he said, "I'm sure Sam will appreciate wherever you go. You have the tendancy to liven up any venue you occupy. Just go somewhere you'll be comfortable." Castiel was younger than me, but he sure had his moments. I often wondered how he got so wise without ever leaving the apartment.

"Yeah, okay, I can do that." I contemplated, "What about...Coffee, and then, a walk around campus? Cheap, romantic, and definitely an excuse to hold his hand." I wiggled my eyebrows up and down suggestively.

"Yes," he nodded crumpling up his taco wrapper. "I think that sounds like a lovely date." He stood up and gave me one of his signature quizzical stares before smiling. "Good luck, Gabriel."

After he left I pulled out Sam's number again. If you told me this time last week I'd be absolutly petrified of a 7 digit number, I'd have phoned the looney bin. But here I am, shaking in my boots. Since nobody was coming in I picked up the phone and dialed. He picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Sam? It's Gabriel, from the bookstore." Ugh. Okay, that was stupid.

"Gabe? Hey! Hi, how are you?" I smiled, what a dork.

"Awesome. I was just calling to say I'm free tomorrow if you wanted to hang out." I bit half my bottom lip and prayed.

"Really? Great, I've got class at 8 but then I'm free." He sounded pretty exited which was making me smile against my will.

"Perfect, I was thinking we could just get some coffee and get to know each other. How's 10 for you?" I asked.

"That's good. Can't wait." He answered.

"Fantastic, meet me at The Roadhouse?" I suggested.

There was a pause "I-Isn't that a bar?"

I laughed out loud, "Oh contrare, my friend. Bar by night, best pie and coffe house on the west coast by day. You'll love it, I promise." I couldn't wait to take Sam there. It was on the other side of campus but the food and the company had no contest.

"Okay. I'll see you there, 10 o'clock sharp." he said.

"Awesome, okay, alright, bye, Sam"

"Bye." After I hung up I Jumped up and fist pumped the air.

"YES!" Oh my God! I officially had a date. I was ecstatic. Dancing a 180, I saw Kali leaning on a bookshelf, grinning chestshire cat style. Still sky high, I shouted, "I've got a date!" and bounced again.

"I still can't believe you actually got the guys number."she said shaking her head, But I could tell she was happy for me. I had to tell Cas, right now. I dialed him up and bounced my foot while it rang.

"Hello?"

"Cas! I've got a date!" I said (screamed) into the headset.

"Gabe? Thats wonderful. Congratulations." "I know!" After telling him the details and hanging up I sighed happily. Today was definetly a good day.
