So many reviews for last chapter! (even more for this one, I hope. Please? I like reviews) This chapter is part one or a prologue for the next one.

It was the first day of school after winter break and Castiel should have said yes.

When he arrived at school he ran into Zoe and the midget that always followed her around. Okay, he wasn't a midget anymore, but he used to be, and he was still afraid of Castiel. Zoe was nice, even if Castiel thought she was a female Nathaniel of some sort, mostly on the looks than anything, because she wasn't that smart and she wasn't a pain in the arse.

"How was your winter break Castiel?" Zoe asked with a smile.

"Meh, it was alright" Alright, yeah, I didn't spend it alone for once and I got a fucking Les Paul as a gift from my friend, it was amazing!

"Let's go Zoe" Kentin tucked at the girl's shirt to get her attention.

"Why?"

"What's wrong midget? Scared?"

"Let's go Zoe"

"Fine, fine… Bye Castiel" She waved at him and then turned to Kentin to whisper "Jesus Kentin, he's not that bad! You don't need to be afraid of him"

During lunch, Eleanor sat closer to Castiel, and she smiled at him more often as well. She talked to Rosalya something about a new TV show she started watching. Apparently it taught people how to get away with murder. He didn't get much of what she was saying, but it sounded nice.

Castiel and Lysander were just throwing peas at each other. Lys would sometimes throw one more angrily at Castiel and then he would look at Eleanor. Castiel would then throw a carrot at him.

"Real mature, you guys" Rosalya told them.

"Shut up" Castiel threw a pea at her and she poked her tongue out.

"I can't believe you" Lys whispered at him.

"What?"

"Nothing. Keep on doing what you're doing. You're an idiot"

"Hey" Rosa called "Did you guys see the new kids?"

"Who the fuck moves to a new school in the middle of the year?"

"Three guys. There are the twins, 'blue-hair' and 'blue-eyes'—"

"They have names, Rosa" Lysander interrupted "Armin and Alexy, I just don't know who is who"

"Yeah, them. And there's this Dake guy too"

"Yeah but he is just helping out Boris, isn't he? He is not staying" Eleanor said

"I don't know, I just know they are all pretty cute. And Dake is Australian"

"I've always wanted to go to Australia"

"You're filthy rich, why don't you go?"

"I don't know. It's not the right time yet"

"The stars are not in the right place?"Castiel mocked

"Yeah. Stars. Can't do it. Not today"

The day went by and Castiel was enjoying his free period by listening to some My Chemical Romance. He had started listening to it a lot lately. Not because of Eleanor. Nothing was ever because of Eleanor.

Castiel opened his contacts and looked at Deborah's name. Her phone number was glowing more than anything else. Her picture was long gone, because he couldn't stand looking at it after they broke up. It was too painful. But for once he didn't feel like calling. Instead he deleted her contact and just went back to listening to music, with zero remorse and the feeling that a 100 ton weight was being lifted from his back.

He was walking back from school with Eleanor later that day and he should have said yes.

Eleanor was talking about her day and how Mrs Pink was the nicest teacher ever and Mr O'Connell was the worst teacher ever.

"I hate him. I really do"

"You shouldn't hate people, is not nice"

"Look who's talking"

"I don't hate. I dislike with emphasis"

"Yes. You also don't cry when you hear thunder, you sweat through your eyes"

"I don't cry when I hear thunder"

"Yes you do"

"Infamy! Blasphemy! Fuck you"

"Wow Castiel, that was real eloquent of you"

"Shut up"

"Hey, I'm not doing anything after I walk your scared arse home"

"My scared arse? Are you kidding me?"

"You're a crybaby and you know it. Anyway, do you wanna grab something to eat? We can get a 'Subway', I'm starving"

"A promise of free food? I'm flattered"

"Who said anything about free?"

"Your fat wallet. It's screamin 'Castiel, use my money'"

"Sure it is. So, you're in?"

"I'd love to, but no can do. I promised my parents I would skype them as soon as I left school today"

"Since when are you the perfect son?"

"I'm not. I just never really talk to them. Sorry"

"It's okay. I'll just ask one of the new kids. That Dake guy is pretty cute. And Armin is not so bad himself"

"You only have eyes for me and you know it"

"Yeah, right. I'm already friends with them you know"

"You're friends with everyone"

"I'm not friends with Amber"

"Amber's friends are not friends with Amber"

"Good point. Are you going to call the new guys?"

"I think I might actually. No one can do anything today and I'm bored"

"Oh well. Don't get pregnant"

"Why does everyone tell me this?"

"Sounds like something you'd do"

"I'll fucking kill you"

"Hey I'm kidding. You just go. I'll call you later okay?"

"Sure. You'll get sooo jealous of the awesome date I'll have"

"Of course. Who's it gonna be, blue-hair, blue-eyes or fake-tattos?"

"One, his tattoos are not fake. Two, Alexy is gay"

"Which one is he?"

"Blue-hair"

"Alright, I'll just have to keep my eyes on two of them, then"

"Why"

"Don't want to take my chances with them taking my girl"

"I'm your girl only in your wet dreams"

"Nope. In my wet dreams there's chocolate everywhere and Natalie Dormer is there and Lionel Richie is singing 'hello'"

"You dream like a 13 year old girl"

"Why don't you take blue-hair's lead and dye your hair blue?"

"Goodbye Castiel"

"It would look good"

"Your hair is not red yet"

"You're a piece of shit"

He shouldn't have gone home. She shouldn't have walked away. He shouldn't have looked at his old photos with Deborah. And in a few days, one of them would just wish Castiel had said yes.

I'm excited for the next one. It'll be a good one
