Dean walked around the corner and saw Kelly standing at her locker. He snuck up behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Guess who?"

"God?"

"Haha very funny," Dean said, removing his hands. "Check it out."

He pulled a paper out of his bag and handed it to her.

"A C+? Dean that's awesome!"

"Looks like all your hard work has finally paid off."

"Well, we still have a long ways to go, but this is a great start."

"I'm tempted to go in there and show off to Matthews."

"I'm so proud of you," Kelly sang, wrapping her arms around Dean.

"Thanks," Dean said, hugging back.

"So I wanted to ask," Kelly said, "what are we?"

"People?" Dean smart mouthed.

"Stop!" Kelly said, hitting him in the arm. "I'm being serious."

"Alright, alright. Friends?"

"Then how would you explain last Friday?"

"Friday?"

"You do remember what happened Friday, don't you?"

"Gonna have to jog my memory," Dean said, leaning in. Kelly stopped him. Dean smiled. "Alright, alright. What do you think we are?"

"I don't know. A couple?"

"A couple?" Dean said, sounding amused. "Yeah I guess I can do that."

"Really?" Kelly asked, getting excited.

"If it means I get to kiss you all I want," Dean said, leaning in again. Kelly scoffed and let him kiss her. "Now that that's official, what do you say we go on a little date?"

"I'm listening," Brooke said.

"Sam wants to go to the movies tonight with his new girlfriend, and I have to chaperone."

"You know Dean, chaperoning your little brother isn't exactly romantic."

"No, no, no, come on. The kids can sit by themselves and watch the movie. And we can sneak away into the back corner and make out."

Kelly took a second to think about it.

"Alright you convinced me."

"Really? Damn, that was easy."

"Yeah, well, if it means I get to kiss you all I want," she said smiling. They kissed again.


Sam walked down into the cafeteria and sat at the table he usually sits at with Brooke and their friends. About 10 minutes in, he noticed something seemed off about Brooke. She sat on the end and played with her lunch. She wasn't even talking to their friends like she usually does.

"Are you okay?" he asked, leaning in across the table.

"I'm fine Sam," she snapped, not even looking up at him.

"Something going on?"

"I don't want to talk to you about it Sam!"

"Brooke-"

"Just leave me alone Sam!" Brooke said. She stood up from the table and left the cafeteria. Everyone sitting near them watched the whole thing.

"Don't mind her," said Brooke's friend, Anne. "She's… Not feeling well."

"Is she okay?"

"Oh yeah. Trust me, she's okay. Just give her some time."


Sam sat in his desk anxiously for the bell to ring for school to be out. Brooke was avoiding him all day again. This time he knew he did nothing wrong, but according to things he's heard from Dean in the past, a girl could get pissed at you just for existing.

The bell rang and Sam ran out the door. Brooke had gym for her last class. He found a bench outside the girl's locker room and waited. Girls gave him weird looks as they left, but Sam ignored them. He was focused on Brooke.

Eventually she came out. Sam thought it was weird that she was wearing her gym shorts instead of the skirt she had on earlier. Especially since she was still wearing the same shirt.

"Sam, what are you doing here?" Brooke asked. Sam was taken aback by her tone. She sounded totally normal now.

"I wanted to make sure you're okay. You were totally weird at lunch today."

"Yeah I'm, uh, kinda having an off day today."

"What happened?"

"Just… Girl things, you know?"

"Yeah, yeah, totally," Sam said, even though he wasn't exactly sure what she was talking about.

"I'm gonna go now. See you tomorrow?"

Sam nodded and watched her walk off. He turned around and headed over to the high school. As he walked up to the car, he saw Dean and Kelly making out against the driver side door.

"Are you two trying to eat each other?" Sam asked, opening the passenger door and throwing his bag in.

"Did you hear something?" Dean asked.

"So Sam, Dean told me you were going to the movies tonight." Kelly said, ignoring Dean. "Is it alright if I tag along?"

"I don't care," Sam said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Pick you up at 7?" Dean asked her.

"I have a doctor's appointment, but I will meet you there."

"Perfect."

They kissed one more time as Sam rolled his eyes.

"See you boys later," Kelly said, walking away and getting in her car.

"What happened to not liking her?" Sam asked as she drove off.

"I could ask you the same thing little brother," Dean remarked.

Sam grew quiet in the front seat. He sighed and stared out the window. Dean was quick to pick up on his signals.

"What's up dude?" he asked.

"I think Brooke's nervous about tonight."

"Yeah? She say something?"

"No but she was acting really weird at school today."

"How so?"

"Well, she was okay this morning. But then at lunch she was sitting on the end and not eating. And then when I caught after last class, she was okay again."

"Something happen to her?"

"I don't know. I asked one of her friends and they assured me she was okay. I just don't get it. What could be going on she doesn't want to talk to me about?"

"Hold up, hold up, hold up, you asked one of her girl friends what was going on?" Dean asked, putting the emphasis on girl. Sam nodded.

"And they said she was okay?"

Sam nodded again.

"Tell me this, did she change her clothes sometime today?"

"Yeah actually. She was wearing her gym shorts when I talked to her after last class."

Dean laughed to himself.

"Ah, classic time of the month."

Sam got really confused.

"Time of the month? What time of the month?"

"You know, every month a woman goes through this thing where things start…. You know?"

"Like… A werewolf?"

"No dude! Well, maybe. Hasn't Dad talked to you about this yet?"

"Noooo I don't think so."

Dean mumbled something under his breath. Sam couldn't quite hear it, but he thought he heard 'damn it John'.

"This is another conversation for another day," Dean said suddenly. "Just forget I said anything."

"But Brooke's okay?"

"Yes, Sammy," Dean sighed, "your precious girlfriend is okay."

"Thanks Dean."

"Don't mention any of this on the date tonight either."

Sam laughed.

"I'm serious. If those girls find out this conversation happened, women everywhere will gang up on us and kill us."
