Meanwhile, Castiel Novak was sitting in class. Castiel was a normal guy, he was not popular, but he also wasn't getting bullied. He didn't have any friends besides Charlie, an awesome girl that fell for girls. She would text him with a picture she sneaky made somewhere and ask him if he thought the girl was hot or not. They did hang out together but he was not as social as she was. Sometimes he asked himself why she was still friends with him, but she assured him every time she wasn't gonna leave him.
Most of the time, Castiel could be found in the school's library, or at home with his nose in a book. He loved reading, it would get his mind off other things. He did not really have any problems, but his mother was concerned about the fact he only had one friend. She had asked him if he liked Charlie in a more-than-friends-way, which caused him to roll his eyes and tell her Charlie didn't swing that way.
Yesterday, the teacher told them there would be a new guy coming to this school. Castiel was surprised, this town was not really known well. He drifted away in his thoughts about a book he was reading when the teacher called his name.
"Sorry Mr. Crowley, what did you say?"
The teacher sighed. "I asked if you could show the new kid around a bit since he is new here," he said.
"Sure," Castiel replied. "I'll gladly help him Mr."
And now Castiel was sitting in the school hall, waiting for the new guy to arrive. The teacher had said his name was Dean Winchester. He didn't know what to expect, and just sat there, asking himself why he had said yes. He wasn't good at socializing. But maybe, this Dean would be nice to talk to.
He waited for an hour, and started to wonder if Dean would ever show up. Maybe Dean was one of those guys that make you wait for a long time and still expect you to kiss the floor they walked on. Castiel didn't know but he knew one thing for sure: whoever Dean was, he was certainly not gonna kiss the floor he walked on.
After another hour of waiting, Castiel decide to give up and go to the library. This guy wasn't going to show up anyways. He sighed and took a book out of his bag and started reading as he waited for the next class.
During lunch, Charlie asked what was wrong since Castiel was totally lost in his thoughts. He told her he was supposed to show around a new guy, and thought maybe the guy would befriend him, but now, nobody has shown up.
Charlie cheered him up and told him he didn't have to worry. "Hey, you've got me! Or am I not good enough for you?" she asked, jokingly, bur Castiel was not in the mood.
"Charlie of course you're good enough but it would be nice to have another friend, so you're not the only one who is stuck with me," he explained, after which Charlie sushed him.
"Castiel Novak, you are a very dear friend of mine and I really like your company so don't ever say such a thing about yourself!" she used her mother-voice. "And besides, who else can check out the girls for me, huh?"
"You're lucky I do those things for you, Charles. Not everyone is willing to check out every girl's ass to see if it's the right one."
"That's right; you know I owe you for every time you check them out. But seriously, maybe Dean just didn't want to be "the new kid"? Or he got lost on his way? Or-"
She was cut off by Castiel, who just stated that "no one can get lost in a shit-town as this one". He sighed for what felt like the hundredth time today.
Why did he even think Dean would want to spend time with him? He was just supposed to show Dean around in school, and he was gonna do nothing more. He was so deep in his thoughts about Dean that he didn't hear Charlie until she poked him in his ribs.
"Ouch! What was that good for?"
"You were day dreaming my dear Cassie, and I already know about what. Or shall i say... who?" Charlie replied.
"Charles, don't say it. I was just hoping maybe I would have another person to talk to so I won't have to listen to you all the time," he said jokingly, but Charlie knew where this was going.
"Ok, listen up here. Tomorrow, this Dean guy is gonna show up, and you are gonna show him around. If he likes you and wants to be your friend, he'll show it. And if not, I'm here with chocolate to cheer you up because honestly, I'm a better friend than whoever you're gonna befriend in the future!"
Castiel smiled and nodded. "Thanks Charles, I love how it started as a cheer-up but ended with praising you."
They both laughed, and then Castiel just talked about the book he was currently reading. They talked till lunch was over and then went back to their classes.
As the day went on, he didn't think about Dean anymore, too focused on either the class or the book waiting for him at home.
Once he got home, he did some homework and then read until past midnight. As he finished his book, he sighed and laid down, almost falling asleep when one thought crossed his mind. He had to show around Dean, if the guy showed up.
"Well, about time I showed some social interaction," was the last thought before he closed his eyes.
