Thank you guys soo much for all of the amazing feedback, it makes me truly happy! Anyway, I hope you like this chapter, because I'm still struggling with Lysander's way of speaking. But, yeah. There are a couple songs mentioned in this chapter, and if you haven't heard them, I suggest you do, they are amazing! And if you still haven't seen Gerard Way's face, he is my headcanon Castiel, they are identical. Like, really, identical.

The smell of chips and mince meat filed the air of the canteen. When Eleanor entered the room, people were still looking at her as if she was from another planet. Maybe it was her clothes. When Ava said that the school did not have a uniform, Eleanor got a little bit happier. She would have a chance to show her personality without having to talk to people, which is always great, because making friends gets easier.

Maybe she overdressed. Or maybe she underdressed. It was difficult to tell. She was wearing a white Led Zeppelin shirt, a red leather jacket, red skinny jeans and her white converses. Most of the other students were wearing more toned down clothing. But then there were three girls who looked like The Plastics - Eleanor spent a lot of time pondering how the managed to walk in those heels for so long.

The Plastics made fun of Eleanor, though she wasn't sure it was because of her clothes. Regina George said something about some guy named Nathaniel and about Castiel - it was probably the guy she met at the park; Castiel wasn't exactly a common name- and how it would be better for her to "stay away from the cool people of the school who didn't want anything to do with her". So, basically:

Eleanor's friends in the new town: -3

Great.

She still hadn't seen Castiel. Not that she was completely relying on a guy she barely talked to to magically consider her a friend. He was only kind enough to tell her where was the coffee shop. But maybe he would be kind enough to not let her be all alone in her first day.

"Hey! New girl!" Eleanor turned around quickly, almost spilling her food doing so. The voice belonged to a beautiful girl, prettiest Eleanor had seen so far. She had long platinum blonde, almost white, hair and hazel eyes. Looking at the girl's clothes- a mini white button up dress with train, a vest and thigh length black boots-, Eleanor realized that the "dress code" for thee school really varied. So everyone just thought she was weird. Again, great.

"Um, yes?" Eleanor replied.

"Well, you look like a lost puppy. Do you want to sit with me and my friends?"

"I don't even know you"

"I'm Rosalya, people call me Rosa, I like shopping and fashion, I have a beautiful boyfriend and amazing friends. What's your name?"

"I-I'm Eleanor. Some people call me Elly"

"See, we know each other now! I'm no axe murderer, I promise" Grabbing Eleanor's hand, Rosalya dragged her to the courtyard. There were a few people outside, but Rosalya didn't stop for any of them. Instead, they went to a door behind the gym that led to a staircase. Eleanor had a feeling they were not supposed to be there. The staircase led to what She imagined was the roof. There were two people in the roof. One of them was a silver haired guy Eleanor did not no. The other one still looked an awful lot like Gerard Way, Helena era.

"Guys! I've got fresh meat!" Rosalya announced raising Eleanor's hand.

"Rosa, I think you are scaring this poor girl" The guy she didn't know said, standing up and walking to her "I'm Lysander. Pleased to make your acquaintance" He said holding out his hand.

"Hi, I'm Eleanor" She was ready to shake Lysander's hand when he kissed the back of hers. So he didn't only dress like Shakespeare, he acted like him as well.

Eleanor looked at Castiel, who was playing a red electric guitar in the corner. He dressed a lot like her today- black, black everywhere. Like Wednesday Addams. She waited for him to look at her, but he never did.

"Grumpy over there is Castiel. He is not very welcoming" Rosalya explained.

"I'm impressed that Rosa brought you here. We don't normally have company"

"The poor girl looked like a horse that's been asked to buy a full outfit down there, and those people were looking at her as if they were hungry lions and she was a piece of meat. I had to save this lost meat horse. Besides, we need another girl here"

"Well you seem like a nice person. Castiel, will you please at least say hi to Rosalya's new friend" They were friends already? Great! She was up to -2 friends and an acquaintance now.

"Can't. I'm playing"

"Castiel, where are your manners"

"I don't know, somewhere in Norway probably. I haven't seen them in a while"

"I'm sorry Eleanor, Castiel is rather... difficult"

Look I don't-" Castiel looked up, ready to say something to scare the new girl, but when he saw she was the girl he met on the park he smirked "Oh, it's you, Ginger!"

"Um... Hey" The girl managed to say awkwardly.

"You guys know each other?" Rosa asked, a look of complete disbelief in her face.

"Castiel was just kind enough the other day. Gave me directions, my brothers and I were lost"

"Castiel? Kind?" Rosa looked at Castiel, waiting for an explanation.

"What can I say? Demon was behaving and it was a nice day. Felt like helping, just don't get used to it" The raven haired boy went back to playing his guitar. Eleanor identified the song, Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana. Without noticing it, the girl started humming along.

"Little girl" Castiel said in a soft tone "You might look like a little ball of happiness and sunshine, but you do have a good music taste"

"Castiel, is not polite to call people 'ball of happiness and sunshine'" Lysander rebuked "I'm terribly sorry, Eleanor"

"Take a good look at her face, Lys. She's smiling more than anyone in a two mile range. Makes me want to puke, actually"

"I just like smiling. Makes things more exciting!"

"Makes it look like you're on Ecstasy"

"It's better than the permanent scowl on your face, makes it look like your smelling shit all the time"

"It does, doesn't it? Cassy, you have to brighten up!" Rosalya added

"Call me Cassy again and you'll see the bright lights of hell" Rosalya poked her tongue at the boy and went back to looking at her phone. "By the way, Lysander, my place today?"

"If it's no bother. I imagine Rosalya shall be visiting my brother tonight-"

"I am"

"-and I don't want to... interrupt"

"You don't. Aaand, Eleanor is the lost meat horse again. Let me explain, dear" Rosalya took Eleanor's hand and started to talk "No, they're not banging. Lys and Castiel have a 'band' and they schedule practises every once in a while. Now, the reason I put 'band' in inverted commas is 'cause they are the only ones in the band, because they are too socially awkward and too stubborn to let anyone else in. "

"Now that's not true, is it? My musical talents are far too superior to those peasants! Lysander's only in because I suck at songwriting"

"You have original songs? That's awesome! Can I listen to one?" Eleanor asked excitedly.

"Not unless you have a 'superior musical talent'. They also don't play to anyone. They are weak people"

"What's the fun of having a band, then?"

"Making something that you enjoy. Castiel helps me give my songs life. Someday we will share our work, we're just not confident enough yet"

Eleanor shrugged and continued to listen to Castiel play. He made it seem so easy, even though she knew it wasn't. The boy still had that scowl on his face, and his attitude seemed to shut people away, but Eleanor saw a friend in him. He started playing Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd and, unconsciously she started singing it; very very quietly.
