Cas's alarm blared at nine, a reminder to get ready for the bake sale. It woke up Hannah as well, who was also asleep on the couch next to Cas. He searched for his glasses, and found them on the floor. Cas sloppily put them on before sitting up and stretching.

Castiel stood up and walked into his room to see Gabriel, finally awake.

"Hey, Cas," Gabriel grumbled. He sounded so tired. "Morning."

"Morning, Gabe," Castiel replied.

"When did you get up?" Gabe asked, sitting up.

"Oh, about threeish. I went to sleep early." Cas rummaged through his portion of the closet. He picked out a tan cardigan and some black pants.

"What happened yesterday? You left school."

"I got beat up by Naomi," Cas simply answered, as if it were something casual. He left the room to go to the bathroom to get dressed.

The door was closed, so he knocked.

"I'm in here!" Adina called out. Adina was Daniel's twin, and they were both 15.

"Okay, just hurry up," Cas politely said. Adina replied with an, "okay" and continued in the bathroom. Cas walked back into the living room, and could see someone else was awake.

samandriel and daniel had been packing their lunches, something everyone in the house had to do

"Morning guys," Cas greeted. They were throwing spoons at each other. "Stop it!"

The two looked at each other and began to throw the spoons at Cas. He screamed and ran away, falling over the couch in the process. His brothers laughed hysterically. Cas struggled to get back up, but he did and went back to the bathroom. Adina opened the door and smiled up and Cas.

"Hi, Cas. Morning," Adina spoke cheerfully Cas smiled back.

"Morning."

He walked past her into the bathroom and shut the door. Cas looked at himself in the mirror, and the makeup was still good. You couldn't even tell that he was beat up. Cas quickly changed and brushed his teeth.

"Cas, hurry up!" Anna cried. "I have to pee!"

He could hear her jumping up and down.

"Use your bathroom!"

"Hannah's using it!"

Cas groaned and let Anna in, making the sound of running water with his mouth as he did so. Anna shrieked and pushed Cas out of the way before slamming the door. He chuckled to himself.

"Cas, want me to take you to the bake sale?" Michael asked. Cas located him and shook his head.

"I can walk over there," Cas replied. Michael nodded.

"You better get going then, you're going to be late." Michael handed Cas his trenchcoat, which he always wore.

"Bye everyone," Cas yelled a collective goodbye to his siblings.
