Chapter 43 ~ SATs and Spring Break

It was the last day of the third quarter, and Dean woke up in a frenzy. It was the day of the SAT test, and Dean had been up until 4am studying like mad. Cas had been coming over everyday to review notes, and even Michael had come over once to help Dean and Cas study. Sam woke up that morning to see Dean running around to get all of his notes together, frantically trying to get everything in place before he headed to school.

"Is the SAT today? Is that why you're so panicky?" Sam questioned, glancing at his older brother. Dean just nodded as he ran around to gather all of his notes. Sam went and got dressed, brushed his teeth and got his backpack, and by the time he was done, Dean had managed to finish his manhunt for his notes.

"You ready?" Dean asked, glancing at his younger brother. Sam nodded, and Dean grabbed his car keys, opened the door, walked outside and unlocked his car. Sam climbed into the passenger's seat, and Dean turned the keys into the ignition, and began to drive to the school.

When Dean got to the school, he rushed to the library to meet Cas and study for an hour before the test, as their school luckily allowed Juniors an hour of study before taking the SAT. Sam just walked to his first period rather calmly.

Dean ran to the library, and sure enough, Cas was amongst the tables on tables of juniors studying in the library. Cas lifted his head and smiled as soon as he saw Dean walking towards him. Cas stood up and walked to Dean, hugging him before he stood back and looked Dean in the eyes. "You're finally here, I see. C'mon, I have everything organized to study as efficiently as we can."

Dean sat down next to Dean at the table they had picked out, and they had barely started when Charlie ran to their table, huffing and begging to study with them.

"Geez Charlie, you look like you ran a marathon." Dean remarked, as Charlie sat down next to them.

"I'm just really out of shape." Charlie panted, her chest heaving. "And don't go blaming me, Dean. I've seen how much you run."

Dean rolled his eyes but kept quiet, knowing Charlie was speaking the truth. Cas just shrugged and agreed to study with Charlie as well.

Charlie was surprisingly good at studying, and she had absorbed all of the information by the time the study hour was up. Dean was still struggling, but Cas had drilled enough into his head to give him a good, solid chance at passing the SAT. Once the study hours were up, all Juniors were told to go to the testing rooms. Students were assigned to different labs, Dean in a lab with Charlie while Cas was sent to a different lab. And at 9:30 am that morning, the SATs began.

When Sam got to his Law Studies class that morning, nearly a third of the class was missing due to SATs. So, the teacher let them watch a movie that day. Sam's classmate Jess asked to sit near him so she'd have some peace away from Ruby to sketch, but Ruby soon joined them both and talked nonstop to Jess. Ruby occasionally would talk to Sam, commenting on the movie, which happened to be one of her favorites, according to her.

The class ended rather quickly, so Sam went to his math class next. Math ended rather quickly, as did Art, and Sam made his way to History with Gabriel. When he got there, Gabriel was sitting in his seat, a smile on his face, waiting patiently for Sam to arrive. When he saw Sam, his smile widened, and he turned around in his seat and waved his hand at Sam, as Sam made his way over to his seat, which was next to Gabriel's.

"How's your day been?" Sam asked as he sat down, setting his bag on the floor. Some of Sam's binders fell onto the floor, so he picked them up before Gabriel replied.

"Oh, not that bad. Of course, I didn't have Cas to tease in gym class, but I guess I'll have plenty of time to tease and prank him over Spring Break." Gabriel replied, shrugging. He leaned down and picked up one of Sam's binders, handing it to him before he continued talking. "Of course, you have to come visit me over Spring Break. Or, I come visit you."

Sam laughed, shaking his head as he grabbed his binder from Gabriel. "You'll be sleeping over every night at my house unless I sleep over at your place."

Gabriel laughed and glanced at Sam. "Well, it's as you said, either I come over or you do."

The two talked and talked and talked the entire period while the teacher played a movie. The day passed rather quickly, and soon, all classes ended and kids packed onto buses and onto the sidewalks, as everybody made their way home.

"Get in losers, we're going shopping!" Charlie screeched at Sam and Dean, as she swung open their front door, pointing to the car that was parked on the side of the street. "C'mon, get yourselves out of the house! Jo and I decided to bring you two out to celebrate, aaaaaand, we dragged two others along."

Sam walked outside only to see Gabriel, standing in front of his own, personal car. Gabriel ran to Sam and practically leapt into his arms. As soon as the hug was over, he turned and waved to his new car. "What'd ya think?"

"I think it's awesome, Gabriel! Geez, how much did it cost you?"

"Eh, quite a bit, but it's all worth it now that I get to drive my boyfriend around." Gabriel said with a shrug. Gabriel turned to face Dean, who was standing a few feet behind Sam. "Now, let's go celebrate Spring Break!"

Bit of a short chapter but it's 9 at night and I need to go to bed. I'll update next week but don't expect any updates on the 11th and 13th, I'll be taking that week to write as much as I can without worry of a deadline. Anyways, enjoy the chapter
