Castiel's ears are ringing. The forgotten book left unnoticed, he goes into the English classroom, pen clutched tightly to his chest. Without even bothering to think about it he sits down on his usual chair the one right next to the quirky red-haired who watches him curiously. The boy's blue eyes are widened and his skin is even paler than normal. "Jesus" he mumbles with his hands in front of his mouth. He crinkles his nose and turns toward Charlie who tilts her head in confusion (a motion she picked up from Cas). "What happened to you?" the red-haired asks. Castiel's eyes wander from Charlie's mud-green eyes to her bright, long hair. There his eyes fixed at a gray fuzz that somehow got stuck in the girl's hair. "I just crashed into Dean, after he winked, actually winked, at me in Italian"
His eyes wander back to see Charlie's whole face.
Her hand grips into Cas' arm as she shrieks:"Dean Winchester?!"
"Shut up!" he says and presses his palm against his friends mouth. That only makes the girl giggle and fortunately Ms. Missouri walked in and silenced the classroom.
With a pout Charlie gets out her stuff and follows the lecture.
Castiel only half listens what's going on, he gets ripped out of his thoughts as a white, nearly blank, scrunched up page lands on his desk.
Either it's a message from Charlie or some idiot wants to get on his nerves and make is school life even harder.
Castiel opens the paper carefully and breaths a sigh of relieve as he sees the big letters Charlie uses to write messages during lessons.
"Tell me everything – C. " is all that's written on the page, so Castiel starts writing down what happened between him and Dean Winchester. Just as he is about to through the piece of paper back to Charlie, Ms. Missouri calls him out:" Castiel, please read the next paragraph."
"Uhm.." he stammers," I uhm... I forgot my book in the locker"
"Well, at least the book has got it warm and nice there"
Some students chuckled while the boy turns bright red and stares down at his table.
Someone else called Garth starts reading instead and Castiel quickly throws the sheet to Charlie who opens it with sheer and plain curiosity.
The boy watches her facial expressions while she read it. At the end she just mouthed "wow" and Cas blushed once again, moving his hand in a matter that means it's not a big deal.
Frankly he thinks it is a big thing, but he also guesses that he is probably just exaggerating.
The bell finally gets him out of the over thinking and together with Charlie he makes his way into the cafeteria. As soon as they got their food they sit down on a table next to Gabriel, Castiel's younger brother, and Anna, Charlies girlfriend. Without much interest in the food he's eating he observes the room, as his eyes find what they've been looking for.
From where he sits he has perfect sight to the table where Dean is sitting. The other boy is surrounded by his soccer-teammates and some Cheerleaders, one of the his best friend Lisa.
Castiel watches as Dean throws fries into his mouth and bites hearty into a burger.
Castiel smiles to himself as he sees just how happy Dean seems. The blue-eyed boy looks down on his table, than back up only to be greeted by green eyes that make his goosebumps rise. "That's not the only thing they could get to rise" he thinks and starts blushing.
Their eyes interlock and nobody seems to be able to look away from the other. Everything around the boys is tuned out, they only see each other eyes. Until Gabriel clears his voice and someone throws a french frie at Dean.
