Just as I was saying of course to Dean, Crowley had approached and clasped his hand over my shoulder menacingly with a firm grip.
"Is this chap 'ere botherin' ya ducky?" he asked Dean, using the pet name that meant you were still on his good side. For the time being.
Dean's eyes flashed warily before his mouth turned up at the corners in a grin. "Naw, Crowley, everything here is fine. Cas was just about to help me with something, because I asked him to," Dean said, then placed his hand on my back and pushed me out of Crowley's grip. "Come on Cas."
I followed him under the guide of his hand until he took it off of my back and I stumbled into the hallway after him. He stopped walking after a few steps and turned to face me, his brow furrowed.
"You're not going to get in trouble for talking to me are you? Like is this one of those stupid situations where the cool kids claim the new guy and so he's automatically off limits to everyone else at the school?"
I blinked, my expression and mind numb from what he just asked me. Was he really concerned about me? Why would he care about what happened between Crowley and I? I mean we just met and I gave him nothing on which to base whether or not he likes me and I wasn't used to people caring and. . .
"Cas?" Dean was looking at me, a little concerned now.
"Oh, yeah, sorry Dean, I got wrapped up in my own thoughts for a bit there. No, I'm fine, Crowley won't do anything. So," I ran my fingers through my hair nervously, "what classes do you have?"
Dean ruffled his pocket and pulled out his schedule, handing it to me with an expectant look. I chuckled as I took it from him, unfolding it and looking at his first period.
"Alright, first things first, you have Physics with Mr. Harper."
The rest of the morning went just like that, Dean following my lead as I led him around campus showing him to his rooms, introducing him to the teachers who were there early. We figured out that we had a couple of classes together; English for third period, and gym for fifth, right before lunch, and, by the time classes were about to start, we found out that we had many of the same interests. We both loved sci-fi movies and shows and classic rock and he actually enjoys a lot of the books I do, which is always a rarity with anyone. It was incredible, really. We just kept talking and he actually made me laugh, something I haven't been able to genuinely do in a while.
The bell soon rang and I realized that this signaled the end of our talk. I opened my mouth to say goodbye, but Dean beat me to it.
"Well Cas I really enjoyed this talk. We should hang out sometime. I'll give you my number later, in English. See ya Cas." He grinned at me before walking away.
"Goodbye, Dean," I said quietly, watching him walk away.
I'm sorry this is later than I expected and I don't think it's the best chapter I could've come up with but this week has been super stressful and I feel bad for keeping you guys waiting. The next chapter will be ten times better and will involve more substance, more plot. Anyways, review, tear me up, I love you all you fantastic people you, thank you for reading and putting up with my crazy self. Until next time. xo
