The dinner doesn't go too bad. The Gray's leave rather quickly. I'm glad, yet depressed they had to leave. I won't get to see Castiel until tomorrow morning.
I am so thrilled, i slept which made time fly.
During lunch, is the only time i see Castiel and last period for health. I don't like him or anything, it's good to see him. Really good. ;)
I wait near the table, waiting for my friends for lunch. It's quarter past 1, where are they? I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around, coming face to face with Castiel. I take a huge breath in. He looks so hot today, not like i care or anything. He's wearing a muscle shirt that shows his tattoo sleeve on his left arm. So hot!
"They are at the mall, ditching school! You want to come?" He asks.
"I don't know, won't your brother get mad if you leave with me?" I blurt. Really! I can't keep my mouth shut! Now he knows I did eavesdrop.
He chuckles, answering, "let him get mad!" He grabs my hand, he pulls me out of school. I'm leaving school with my enemy. No, I'm leaving school with a stranger.
The car ride wasn't silent, the Beatles are on singing. I am not a fan of the Beatles, i never heard them. So i can't hate them. He has cds in his car. I go through them.
"Beatles, Beatles, and more Beatles. You're a fan, huge fan in fact!" I look at him, smiling.
"Yes, I am. Is that a probably?" He asks, sounding a bit rude. I don't think about it too much.
"No, it's actually hot!" Why do i keep blurting things on the top of my head? He doesn't want to know. Or maybe he did.
"Won't your brother get mad for calling me hot?" Castiel asks. I laugh.
"He's my younger brother, he can't stop me. And he actually doesn't hate you Gray's. Well, he's fond of your younger brother Eremiel." I shrug my shoulders.
"What about you? Do you hate us...me?" Castiel asks.
I wish i could've answered him sooner.

I enter my house, my dad is waiting in the living room with my mom and brother. My mom is shaking her head, my brother is just frowning, my dad is taking a sip of alcohol. Oh, shit! This isn't good.
"Dad, out the drink down!" I raise my voice.
He gets out of hand with alcohol. Last time, he almost shot the Greg Gray. My mom kicked him out of the house for a week. He didn't fulfill his duty; i guess when mom was mad at him that he was mad at himself.
"I think not!" He gulps down the rest.
"Why is he drinking?" I ask my mom.
"The Gray's gave us a fruit basket." Alex points at the basket on the coffee table. It hasn't been open.
"We don't accept charity from them!" My dad snarls.
"You're being a little child! It's just a fruit basket. Have you even read the card to figure out why they gave us it?" i ask. I walk to the fruit basket and rip the car out.

Thanks for skipping class with me, Castiel.
"The note means nothing!" i shove it down my pocket. "I have to go to the library, I'll be back around 10." I walk out of the house.
A motorcycle pulls up on the driveway, the person takes off the helmet. Castiel approaches the house, i grip his arm and make him walk the other direction. I note to self to beat the living poop out of him.
"Why are you here? My dad received the gift, he's in there drinking! Why would you send a basket of fruit if you know my dad hates your family?" I ask.
"I came here to ask you-wait... your father is drinking again. You have to stop him!" Castiel heads for the house again. I block his way.
"How do you know about his alcohol problem?" I ask.
"That's the reason why our dads hate each other. Alcohol. I don't know the whole details but my dad can't drink a drop of alcohol. Neither can yours." His eyes soften.
"My mom is taking care of him! What are you doing here out of all places?"
"I wanted to see if you would come have dinner with my family... and me?" He gives me a sheepish smile.
"Are you serious? With your family? Don't they hate me?" i ask.
"My dad and brother hate you, a lot. But i don't!" He grins. My heart just swells up with happiness.
"Dammit Jenn!" I hear my brother yell. He walks up to us. "Dad is calming down and you're here with him! You better leave before he catches you both." My baby brother is understanding.
"Thank you! I really appreciate it!" Castiel says, he takes me away from my house.
We end up at the park. Is it a picnic or somewhere near that. And why at the park? Our family is wealthy, we can go to any restaurant without a waiting list. Castiel's father is CEO for the bank and my dad is a CEO for the competing bank. It's just war for our family.
"I'm really sorry for bringing you here!" Castiel says. My heart breaks. Water splashes on me, head to toe.
I gasp, glaring at him. He laughs, he's laughing at me. At my misery. I'm freaking soaking wet and he's laughing. What an butthole! Hot butthole.
"Castiel!" I yell. I charge forward at him, but he's starts running. I have no choice but to chase him.
He runs around the park, he reaches the grass. I jump on him, he grabs my waist and stumbling back. We fall to the grass, hill, we roll down. Once we reach the bottom, i lay on top of him. Staring at his hazel eyes, even in the dark i can still see them. What is this feeling in my stomach, it's like thousands of butterflies are in my stomach.
