[Castiel POV]


I heard knocking, it got louder and I finally pulled my blanket off me.
"I'M UP!" I scratched my head, I looked around my room. Its like I never use it. Damn..neat freak.


"Do not shout! Novak's Don't shout." Someone laughed outside. Michael knocked softer "Come on pup! It's breakfast." I heard him walk away from my door. My black out curtains are half open, basically not doing a good job, the blue room was a bit brighter.
I still hate the color. Dad made it so, he said because me and mom had the same eye color, and he thought this would make my room more me.


I walk towards my closet and grabbed basics, my siblings teases me about being plain. What is wrong with liking neutrals and basics? I think they are neat and chic. "Huh! When did I grew old?"


I go down the stairs towards the dinning room. Michael was drinking coffee his luminous blue green orbs smiled at me as he gulps from his mug. Anna's fine red hair bobs up while it was reading paper and she looks to me and gave me a small but sweet smile.
"Good morning pup!" Says Michael
"Why am I not amuse at that nickname?" I ask as I grab my own mug.


Michael's mug had the print #1. I had the print #4 ... My parents had a weird yet sweet sense of humor. They actually call us by our rank in siblingry (is this even a word? I am not sure)


"Hello!!! Fellas! What are we having?" Gabriel walked in on nothing. I may act annoyed but I am thankful whenever he booms cheerfully. It kills the awkwardness between me and Michael. Maybe..just from me.


Michael has currently taken over dad's firm. He sports red today. A cream white polo with shiny red gem cuffs and a satin red tie. And his slacks that showed the thinness of his hips.


I never was, had been awkward with him before. It's just after he took Dad's place, which I think will soon be permanent. He is still the fun-loving, honest, all smiles and understanding big brother. Anyone is lucky to have him. It's just, he became less warm and started becoming parent biased. Still he always looks out for us.


"CASSIE!" I heard Gabriel
"W-what?!" I stammered
"Are you gonna eat that pancake or melt it with your sexy sad eyes?" He teased. I realized I had been indeed staring. Thank god not to Michael, it would spark more unwanted issue.
"I was just remembering my dream." I said hazily.


"Was it good?" Michael asked and he flashed me an honest grin. I smiled an nod "yeah but it changed quickly". Michael and Anna (who had the #2 mug floating from the counter) gave snickers. Gabriel giggled and patted me. I smiled and snorted.


I miss this. We always did this before, we exchanged dreams and try to give interpretations, no matter how crazy. And mom would decide the winner.
"Ok! Anna, pups, I have to catch a meeting. Some company need a good lawyer and my partner Metatron will soon be there. I can't be late. Take care ok! Stay out of danger." With that he waved and smiled and headed out to his bmw.


"Finish your food. Oh by the way Uriel and Balthazar will be here later. I am going too, I have consultations lined up after me, I may be busy at the mental institute for the whole day but don't hesitate to call ok!" Anna walks to Gabriel "You are to watch over him ok!"
Gabriel nods and gave thumbs up as he drowns a small piece of pancake with maple syrup. Great. Those snobbish cousins coming for a week. Well maybe just Uriel, Balthazar is ok I guess...


I look to Anna. "You know I am older than he is." She smiled and gave me a hug "I know but you know you're my favorite right!" She whispers and backed up with a wink.


"I think everyone knows!" Gabriel laughed hard. So much for a whisper.


"Be careful" I said regardless of Gabriel's chuckles. Anna beamed.
She looks to Gabriel "Gabby , my white coat stop hiding it!" And she was able to snatch it from the giggling Gabriel.


"Gabriel! Hurry I am taking a bath and I'll drive us both. My first unit is also early" I slowly return to my room but not without hearing his comeback
"You're too formal! Ease up Cassie , you need fun!"
I look to him as I came to the part of stairs that has a view of the wide dining room. His #5 mug gleaming. "Just get ready already" I said hazily.

"Hey Gabriel!" I called out with husky tone after I had changed to a white polo shirt that is slightly hugging , black acid washed jeans. I walked barefoot towards his room right across mine, my dark almond hair still sparkling and a little messy.


"What up?" He asked after he put on his dark green v neck muscle shirt.


"Where is Raphael? He did not sleep here last night." I asked leaning to his door frame. His room was colored tuscan yellow (what my dad called it, and yes because like Anna's his eyes are bright hazel, almost gold)


"Dud he is a med student..I don't think sleep exists for them." Gabriel chuckled as he walked to his Life size mirror to arrange his looks more.


"Why didn't he texted or called?" I scratched my head
"Cassie! Stop it! You sound like mom again." Gabriel points a finger to my reflection, I quickly straightened up and apologized. "I'll wait by the car." I nodded and even tried to smile.
"You go do that pup!" He smiled and giggled, but failed to mimic Michael.


I should be more careful. But of all siblings I am closer to mom. I can't help but have behaviors I acquired from her right?


My siblings, Michael, Anna, Raphael, and Gabriel. We are connected, not too close, it's like we respect each other because we are brothers and sister. Father came from a privilege family, Mom was a southern bell. I think I know why dad fell for her. Because sometimes it also happens to me. Being in my world, it gets boring. Peaceful but boring.


Too bad she passed two years ago. Dad then continued this round the world travel which he did with mom for their honeymoon. He said it's closure. My brother's don't say it but I know they get restless, even his friend Metatron. Why can't just they let him be? Michael is here and I guess I should thank him for standing for dad.


"Let's go!!" Gabriel jumped in the passenger seat of my Camaro. I threw my tan coat on me. Dad gave it to me before he left. He was a lawyer that turned a Judge. I am taking up business and macroeconomics. No not my choice.


"Hmm Michael really wanted that." Gabriel referred to my coat as I started my car. "I wanted him to have it but he smiled and put this on me when I handed it to him. He said dad gave it so I should use it"


We arrived at the College, I was getting out of the car when a Chevy 67 Impala pulled in right across us. The passenger door opens wide and a tall guy hops and looks inside " The THANKS!!! Ok catch you later Dean!!"
The driver got out and this man, slightly shorter, wearing a maroon shirt. Covered with a leather jacket steps out "Hey Sammy! Call me ok!!" And he closed the door and walks the opposite direction. But not without looking at me and Gabriel.


Me and Gabriel exchanged looks. I saw a misty look in his eye. "What?" I asked him. "Sammy! Haha cute name." And he came to me, patted my back and walked towards the direction that Sammy guy walked to.


I stared at my schedule. I walked towards my first class. The same direction that Dean guy walked on.
