You will say 'but Castiel's birthday is in August!" but I am ignoring that mainly because I forgot about it... sorry, I know, I'm a mess. But I hope you like the chapter nonetheless and if you did, please review because it's awesome when you do :)

(N/A: noticed some people from Romania are reading the story and let me just say I love your country. Okay you can start reading now)


With October came the cold. It wasn't freezing but Eleanor was already preparing for December. Everyone was already wearing their jumpers and beanies, with, of course, a few exceptions. The Plastics (Amber, Charlotte and Li) were still dressing like it was the middle of July, even though they were obviously cold; Lysander was too fashionable for jumpers and beanies, so he wore Victorian coats and scarves; and then there was Castiel, who didn't let go of his leather jacket.

Eleanor realised that she had already been in Sweet Amoris for little over two months now. She had friends and the school was nice. The twins had already blown up/damaged/broke way too many things to list, but their grades were still amazing.

Now, Eleanor was in Rosalya's house watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas" to get in the Halloween spirit even though Eleanor insisted that it was a Christmas film. They were lying on the carpet with blankets and pillows, eating a bowl of doritos, a bunch of ice cream, and a bunch of nutella. They were also playing a never ending game of 'would you'.

"I've got one for you" Rosalya exclaimed "So, you get half a million pounds-"

"Yes" Eleanor interrupted

"I'm not finished"

"The answer will probably still be yes"

"Just listen alright. You get half a million pounds but your current partner will get a text warning them every time you poop"

"So… every time I poop, my partner will get a text saying 'I'm pooping'?"

"Yes"

"I'd do it"

"Really" Rosalya asked disgusted.

"It's freaking half a million pounds Rosa!"

"It's gross!"

"I'd still do it"

"I guess Castiel wouldn't mind that much though"

"Castiel wouldn't mind… what?" Eleanor asked confused, and Rosalya stared at her for a minute, not believing her ears.

"Ellie, I love you, you are my best friend, but you are really dumb, did you know that?"

"Why?!"

"Let's just keep watching the film, you'll find out someday. But… speaking of Castiel, what will you get him?"

"Get him for what?"

"His birthday is in two days if I'm not mistaken" Rosalya took out her phone and checked the calendar "Yep, 10th of October"

"Oh my God, I didn't know! What will I get him?"

"I don't know, but you better figure out soon"

"I'll make up an excuse to go to his house tomorrow and look at he needs or wants or something. What will you get him?"

"A mirror, to replace the one in his bedroom. Not that he needs more self-confidence, he really thinks he's all that and he is not. But that mirror needs replacement. But I think I'll also ask Leigh for a black jacket because the leather one he always wears is getting ugly"

"Oh. Well then, I really need to figure something out"


Castiel was watching crap TV when the doorbell rang, but only when it rang for a second time was that he bothered to get up. He was shirtless, wearing a red tracksuit bottom and with no underwear, but his only thought when he went to open the door was I don't really give a fuck.

"Eleanor" He should've put on a shirt. Or maybe underwear "W-What are you doing here?"

"Oh, um…" Eleanor looked down at his crotch but immediately looked away, staring at the sky and blushing profusely "Sorry, hell is breaking loose back at home and your house is the closest to mine so this was the first place that came to my mind"

"What happened" Castiel asked uncomfortable, stepping aside, allowing the red haired girl to come in.

"The boys were playing paintball in front of that white house down on White Castle Road, and the old lady who lives there came to complain and mum and dad are going mental"

"Your brrrrotherrrrs werrre playing paintball in White Castle Rrrroad?"

"Stop mocking my accent! I don't talk like that!"

"Yes you do. Which is weird, because you are from the highlands, but your accent is a little bit from the lowlands"

"Yeah, dad is from Glasgow, so I got the r's from him. But I'm not Russian, so stop that!"

"Okay, um… Make yourself at home for the meantime, and I'll go put on a… shirt"

"Alright, thanks"

Castiel got changed, successfully putting on a shirt and boxer briefs this time, and went back to the living room, where he found Eleanor and Demon playing fetch. She was playing fetch with a 40 kg dog in a tiny living room. There was definitely something wrong with her.

"Eleanor, how about you stop before he breaks something?"

"Oh, sorry"

Castiel sat down next to her and started browsing channels on the TV, dodging the uncomfortable silence. Suddenly, Eleanor took the remote from him.

"Hey! Give me that back!"

"Nope, I want to choose the channel"

"No way"

"I'm a guest"

"You're an intruder, that's what you are"

"I don't want to watch 'Take me out'"

"I don't want to watch 'My little pony'!"

"I don't like 'My little pony', for your information"

"And I don't like 'Take me out' but it's crap TV, therefore we watch it"

"Oh, look at you using big words like therefore"

"Shut up" Castiel said and got the remote from her.

"Castiel" Eleanor called and the boy looked at her "What were you doing with the amp?"

He looked at his amp that was in the corner, lying on the floor, open and with a bunch of missing pieces that were scattered on the floor.

"I was fixing it. This thing is always breaking down. But I'm already saving up money for a new one, maybe just a few more months and I'll have enough"

"Soo, you need a new amp?"

"No, actually I'm saving up for a new amp, but I won't actually buy it. Yes I need a new amp!"

"Okay"

"Okay?"

"I think my parents are done scolding my brothers, bye" Eleanor smiled at him and quickly left his house.

Castiel stared at the door for a few seconds before looking back at the TV.

She is so fucking weird.
