So I wanted to point out, the characters personalities are tweaked a bit. Nathaniel's a bit more playful. Castiel is not as much of a jerk as before. (Glad I did that.) So it may be a bit out of the the box. But you know,
SCREW THE RULES I HAVE MONEY! Also Nathaniel sometimes acts a little girly. Sorry, I'm a girl.
Gwen POV
I walked around for a while, when I spotted a familiar red-haired boy.
"Castiel!" I waved at him, and ran up to him. "Castiel I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say I hated both o-" Castiel put his hand on my mouth.
"Stop talking, I know you didn't mean it." Castiel was smoking a cigarette when I snatched it out of his hand and stomped on it. "Hey!"
"Smoking is bad for you!" I say, crossing my arms.
"Anyway, I've forgiven you, but you need to talk to Nate."
"Right! Where is he, exactly?"
"Like I'm telling you." Castiel walked off, leaving me to find Nate myself.
"Nate?! Nate?! Where are you?" I yell down the hall.
"Gwen?" I hear Nate's voice, under the staircase?! I look under the staircase and there Nate was there. I roll my eyes, what was he doing there!?
"Nate...I'm so sorry..I don't hate you." I wrapped my arms around the blonde boy and I realized that I never really hated him. Even when he was hitting Castiel. I liked how he felt in my arms. Soft and nice. I blushed a bit. Nate looked up at me, and that's when I saw it.
His eye!
"Nate, your eye!" Castiel didn't even look hurt when i approached him. Nate didn't even give Castiel a bruise.
"Huh, what, oh my eye? It's fine, Gwen." I softly touched his eyelid and he grimaced.
"Nate, we need to get you to the nurse!"
"NO!" Nate said, instantly standing up. "We can't tell the nurse or my mom or anyone!"
"Why not?" I ask, pulling Nate to sit down again.
"They would ask me a bunch of questions and... and I'm such a bad liar!" I giggled a bit at Nate's exasperation. "Hey! What are you laughing about?"
"Nothing..." I giggle again.
"Tell me!"
"It's funny, that you're such a bad liar!"
Nate looked confused. So I dropped the subject and focused on his eye.
"Well, if you don't want the nurse or your parents, Auntie will have to take care of you."
"WHAT?" I look at Nate. What was his deal today?
"Auntie will know what to do, just call your mom and tell her you're going to a friends." I figured Nate could pull this off, I mean it was the truth.
"O-okay" Nate says, and I check the time.
"Oh man! Almost time for math. C'mon, slow poke." I grab Nate's arm and race to our class.
Nathaniel POV
I was almost nodding off in math class. The teacher spoke in a dull monotone and I could barely keep my eyes open. I had read a chapter ahead and understood most of what he was saying. I touched my eye, had Castiel really done that? I didn't even give him a bruise. He was way tougher than I was. I sighed and looked at the clock. Only 5 minutes had passed. It seemed like an hour. I found myself getting sleepier and sleepier.
" ." The teachers voice rang out. Other kids in my class were chuckling and giggling. "Do you find my class so boring that you decide to take nap in the middle of it?"
"Oh n-no sir." I stammered. I wanted to answer yes, but of course that would be unacceptable.
"Good. Detention."
"What?! But that will be on my permanent record!" I say.
"Oh well. Should have thought about before you decided to sleep in the middle of class." Mister Edion gave me an evil smirk.
"Um Mister Edion, I have a few suggestions on your technique of teaching." Gwen's voice rang out. What? She was going to get detention for sure! I glared at her to tell her to stop but she glared right back at me. She then turned her gaze to Mister Edion. "First of all, I think your voice could be a little more... how do I put this..uh..lively!"
"Lively, you say?" Mister Edion started calmly, but then raised his voice. "HOW IS THIS FOR LIVELY!"
"G...oo...d.." Gwen's voice came out as a squeak.
"Both of you, detention. Go out into the hall, you are disturbing class." Mister Edion pointed to the door. Gwen and I took the walk of shame towards the door. I turned the knob and let Gwen go first. I followed soon after. I sank down the wall, next to Gwen.
"What were you doing Gwen?! You're in detention now. Like me." I sighed
"Do you really think I would let my best friend go to his first detention all by himself?"
"Well thanks Gwen, bu-" I stopped suddenly and looked at Gwen. I was her best friend? I thought we were only good friends! I felt a flutter in my chest. She liked me that much that she thought I was her best friend!
"B-best friend?" I said, hoping she really thought me as a best friend and not as a 'good' one.
"Well, yeah. Unless you don't want to be my best friend..." Her voice trailed off.
"Of course I want to be your best friend!" I hugged her.
"Well, then we'll survive detention together!"
2 HRS LATER
Gwen and I walked to the detention together. I wasn't really surprised to see Castiel there. But he was surprised to see us. His eyes widen.
"Mr. and Mrs. Goody Two Shoes, in detention." He mocked us. "Oh my! To what do I owe the honor?" He put his hands to his face.
"S-shut up Castiel." I said, I didn't like when he was sarcastic.
"You can owe this honor to Mister Edion." Gwen scowled at the thought of him.
"Haha! Me too." Castiel held up his hand for a high-five and Gwen happily obliged.
"So how'd it happen?" Castiel sat in one of the class chairs and put his feet on the desk.
"It's kinda a long story..." I turned away from him and inspected the detention rules.
RULES
-NO TALKING
-NO FEET ON DESKS
-NO FOOD
-STAY FOR THE FULL 45 MINUTES
Castiel had already broken two of those rules. I looked around, where was the detention monitor? Usually it was me, but I'm sure they would have a replacement.
"Hey, Princess. We got 45 minutes and there's no detention monitor today."
"No MONITOR?!" What? I thought they had replacements!
"Well, yeah, all replacements are out today. Teachers are busy so they basically locked us in here." I rush over to the door. Sure enough it was locked. What were they thinking? Castiel is in here. Anything could happen.
"Look, Princess, tell Cas what happened." Castiel said in a motherly tone.
So I told him the whole story, about how I fell asleep. Mister Edion scolding me, getting getting in trouble to be with me for my first detention.
"Gwen actually got in TROUBLE for you?" Castiel looked a bit thrown off.
"Of course, Cas. This is Nate's first detention. I couldn't leave my best friend stranded!" Gwen put an arm around my shoulder as if to say 'We're best friends now'. Gwen turned around to read her book again and Castiel raised his eyebrows. I smiled weakly indicating that we were, in fact, best friends. Castiel winked at me and I shot him a glare. After detention was over, Gwen had me call my mom and dragged me over to her house.
"Auntie?" Gwen's voice filled the empty house. "Hmm, she's not here now. She'll be back later." She pulled me over to the couch and I sat down.
"Now what to do about your eye"
