Author's Note: Hey Guys! Thanks for coming and checking out my story! This is my first story, so I'd appreciate any feedback you guys have. The story won't be very long, and although the first few chapters are pretty short, they get progressively longer. I have the story completely finished, and I just need to type it up, so the updates shouldn't be too far apart. Also, there are some subjects that may be triggers for some people, so I'll put a warning before any of those chapters. Anyway, enough with my babbling. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Supernatural related.
Chapter One – Three Years Later
Castiel stared at his alarm clock. 5:59. He waited. When the clock read 6:00, it began to ring, and Castiel finally allowed himself to get out of bed. He got into his shower, avoiding his reflection, and proceeded to go through his morning routine as if it was an average day. And it would have been, except for one thing; the first day of school. Castiel had never liked school. It was crowded and noisy, and full of people that thought he was weird. He was shoved into lockers and called a freak daily, and despite the fact that he had never received less than an A on anything, his teachers weren't big fans of him either. He didn't have any friends other than his siblings, and they only tolerated him because they had to.
Castiel walked downstairs freshly showered and in his usual attire; jeans and a t-shirt. He grabbed himself a bowl of cereal and waited for Gabriel and Anna to come downstairs. He heard Anna first. She was on the phone with one of her many cheerleader friends, blabbing about how "totally awesome" this year was going to be now that they were upperclassmen. Gabriel came down last, of course. He thudded down the stairs, singing some new pop song. He somehow manged to make noise with everything he did. That included walking.
"Good morning Cassy, Anna! How are you two this lovely morning? Oooh, can you pour me a bowl of that?"
As Castiel set about pouring Gabriel a bowl of cereal, Anna finally got off her phone.
"Ohmygosh, I'm so excited for the first day of school! I can't believe I'm finally an upperclassman! This year is going to rock! We'll get first pick of classes, and we get to leave for lunch! Oh, and let's not forge... Ew, Gabriel! Chew one bite at a time! Gosh, you're so gross." Believe it or not, Anna said all this in one breath. Castiel never understood how he came from such a loud family when he never had the need for noise at all. Some things just didn't make sense.
Castiel, Gabriel, and Anna eventually made it out of the house and into Castiel's car. When they arrived at school, Anna and Gabriel immediately jumped out and went to greet their friends. Castiel stayed behind and took some deep breaths, attempting to calm his nerves. He knew what awaited him when he got inside. He knew the looks he would receive, the whispers he would hear when no one thought he was looking. One more year, he told himself. One more year and this would all be over.
