Gwen POV
JANURARY
Nate and I were best friends, and I was so happy. But still there was an aching in the back of my head that somehow wanted more. I walked through the halls in search of Nate and Castiel when two strong arms pulled me to a body.
"Hey beautiful." a voice whispered in my ear.
"Get off me! I have pepper spray you know!"
The voice behind me chuckled. "You really haven't changed have you Gwen?" My kidnapper spun me around and my eyes met with magnificent green ones. He reminded me of someone though I'm not sure who. It's someone I've met before I'm sure. I looked at his clothes, military stuff. Camo pants, black tank with a button on top. Fingerless black gloves. Brown hair. "Hm, uh, Cousin Terrance? No, he had red hair. Uncle- no too young. Uh..." I kept trying to guess who he was when I spotted a container of chocolate chip cookies.
"You really don't know who I am?" The boy pouted.
"No, I'm sorry but you do remind me of Kenny. He always carried chocolate chip cookies around. He was really sweet to always give me one." I thought about Ken, and how he might be doing at military school.
The boy smiled, "You're so close."
"Um, perhaps a broth- no Kenny was an only child."
"Hmm, did you ever see his eyes?"
"No, actually. He never told me either."
"His eyes were green, Gwen." When the boy said that, something clicked.
"K-Kenny?" I asked, fearful of the answer.
"The one and only." I hugged him when he answered.
"Kenny! I missed you so much, why didn't you contact me?" I sent him plenty of letters that he never sent back. I pouted. "Why didn't you send any letters? I sent you plenty!"
Kenny looked a little nervous and he scratched the back of his head, "They broke my phone when I tried to use it. I got a new one though for a gift." He held up a nice phone, I'm not sure what brand it is. "My dad restricted outside contact. He stopped my letters from coming to you.I'm sorry Gwen, though I didn't stop thinking about you."
"Well, I'm glad you're back. Let me show to my friends." I tugged on his arm and he followed me. We stopped in front of the council room and I opened the door. "Nate?"
Nathaniel looked up at me and Ken. "Oh, I didn't hear about this new student."
"This isn't a new student, Nate. This is Ken!"
Nathaniel's POV
THIS was Kentin Dougless? Last time I saw him he was 5'6 and scared of his own shadow! He'd shot up 2 inches about the same height as I was. He'd lost the glasses,hm, I didn't know he had green eyes. Changed the nerdy look and seemed as strong as Castiel. I looked at him. His aura was different, too. Kentin wasn't scared of me anymore. In fact, he was scaring ME. He was showering in confidence now. This was what military school did to people?! Note: Enroll future son in military school.
"Hello, Ken. Welcome back." I tried to looked pleased that he was back, but my smile seemed awfully fake.
"Um, Gwen. He's your friend now?" How rude! I kept my mouth shut though.
"Yeah! Nate's my been my best friend for a while now."Gwen said happily.
"Oh, he's your BEST friend?" Ken's fist was clenching beneath the desk. Geez. Talk about jealous boyfriends. "Well, that's nice. It's good to be back Nathaniel." He stuck his hand out for a handshake and I obliged.
"C'mon Kenny, let's go see Iris! You remember her right?" Gwen pulled Ken out of the room, but not before he smirked at me. That jerk. He was MOCKING me, and he was enjoying it too! Ken had changed and I'm not sure that it was for the better.
"Sup." Castiel's voice rang out in the lunch room.
"Here I have two things for you. I brought the detention slip." Castiel groaned as I said that. "Castiel, just sign it. Anyway Kentin's back."
"Aw. No way! Where's the little twerp? He didn't get his 'welcome back' beat-up!" Castiel looked around the cafeteria.
"I wouldn't do that, Castiel. He's almost as tall as you are!" Castiel burst out laughing.
"Did you hit your head or somethin'? Ken's 5'6 and no muscle."
I pointed to Gwen and Ken. "Tell him that, then." Castiel looked in the direction in which I pointed. He laughed again.
"There's no WAY that's Ken." I was about to prove him wrong when Gwen waved to us.
"Hey guys! Mind if we sit there?" Gwen took the seat without our answer. She always asked us, but never seemed to take no for an answer. Ken took the seat next to Gwen.
"So, Military Boy. Princess here says you're Ken. Is that true?" Castiel seemed genuinely interested in the subject.
"Yep. Castiel, I'm Ken alright." Ken ate while he spoke. "Gwen, Castiel's your friend?"
"Well, you're the rude one now, aren't you?" Castiel said sarcastically. "I missed the old Ken." Castiel made a pouty face.
"I think you're forgetting who was rude first." Ken's tone hardened a bit. "I see you're as sarcastic as ever Castiel."
"Yeah, and you got a problem with that?" Castiel rose up a bit. "You want to fight me?"
"I'd rather not get in a fight with you on the first day."
"Oh, I see." Castiel's lips turned up with sneer. "Even though you went to M school, Ken, you still can't fight me. You're still scared of me aren't you?! You act all tough, but really you are still the scared little boy that you always were! You may have the fighting skills but not the will power." Ken's face was twisted with rage, I could tell Castiel's words struck a chord with him. I put my hand on Castiel's shoulder to tell him to stop, but he started up again.
"YOU ARE WEAK, KEN! YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE STRONG! NO MATTER HOW MANY MILITARY SCHOOLS YOU GO TO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SCARED, WEAK, LITTLE KENNY!" Ken stood up pushing his sleeves to his elbows. We were starting to attract attention.
"Oh, if it's a fight you want you'll get it, Castiel." Ken's voice was calm, but I could see his palms were sweating. So he was nervous! I tried to stop Castiel but he wouldn't stop. I could tell someone was about to throw the first punch when Gwen interrupted.
"Stop!" Gwen's voice was trembling, she was scared alright. "This is getting us nowhere! You are still the bickering, awful duo that you've always been. All I wanted was us to be friends, is that too much to ask?" Her eyes were brimmed with tears. "Excuse me." She whispered and walked off. Ken's fists started to lower, and he started to go after her. Castiel caught his shoulder.
"Ken, she doesn't want to see either of us now." I stood up and said,
"Can't we do anything together without making Gwen hate us?" With that, I walked to find Gwen.
"Gwen?" I look under the stairway and she was there.
"Huh, Nate? How'd you find me?" She looked up at me.
I pointed to my head, "Magic."
She smiled a bit and I sat down next to her. "Oh Nate, I feel so bad! I was too rough on them wasn't I? I mean I just wanted them to get along! Maybe I was wrong for thinking they'd ever be fri-" I pressed a finger to her lips.
"Gwen, you didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault." I sighed. Why does she think everything is her fault? "Hey Gwen, what's your favorite color?"
"Why do you want to know Nate?" She giggled then and then answered seriously. "Green, I like light greens actually."
"That makes sense, you were wearing it the first day I met you." I smiled at the memory. Castiel being his usual jerky self. Me, helping with her books.
"Yeah...wait. You remember what I wore?" Uh oh. RED LIGHT. RED LIGHT. MAYDAY MAYDAY. ABORT MISSION. I REPEAT ABORT MISSION.
"Uh...well...er...uh.. yeah...I guess..I mean I only remember...the..uh..colors." I desperately try to slip out of this awkward situation.
"I remember what color tie you wore, it was blue." Gwen said, and I relaxed again. Gwen got up and walked out of the staircase.
"Wait, Gwen where are you going?"
"To apologize to Ken and Castiel."
