[Gabriel POV]

"Roger that!!"
There goes the knock. Michael needs to have confidence in me! He knows I wake up early, I just play a bit video games before breakfast, and I already eat candy or chocolate here so it's fine. I need to keep candy mind you! I am diabetic, the type that has more insulin than glucose in the bod, so yeah I am not just being a baby.

Anyhow I blame the sweets for my oh so adorable personality! And that is why I love them.

I stretched and yawned a bit. Walked to my mirror and stared.. "Hey handsome! Kstsk!" I mimicked a gun and shot the mirror

I look outside my window, Nice day..maybe it will be fun! Hmm who will I make fun of in the first class? I heard my stomach grumbled.
"Oh! Right haha story stomach-y let's get you full!"
I open the door wide open and wore a wide smile because it makes you look good!

I got down and man! Was it quiet. Whenever Cassie is quiet we all just feel this energy. He said he has coped but if you ask me he should have just left with dad. He needs the closure more.
He will deny everything but Cassie is Cassie and as much as he is annoyed by it he is more like mom. And mom was a transparent person. Cassie can lie but he does not know how to pretend.

I had to do it. "HELLO!!!FELLAS! What are we having?"

Anna looks to me snickering "Pancakes!"
"Yes!! And the syrup?"
"Maple!"
"Alright!!!"
"Dud calm down!" Michael raised his mug but smiled and nod.
"Check that out Cassie! Mikey just asked me to calm down! Haha no can do sir! I am to handsome to 'calm down' ...right Cassie?!! CASSIE!!"

"W-what?" He shot up, wide very blue eyes, pink lips shaking, his hair flat on his forehead. Look at that! Very adorable...
I pointed to his plate "You gonna eat that pancake or melt it with your sexy sad eyes?"

He tilted his head and looked at Michael, then a sudden realization came to him and he bends over the plate again. Michael looks to him and bit his lips. Then looks to me with those luminous eyes. I raised my hands for surrender. Anna tugged me and gave this apologetic look, those are not for me.
"I was just remembering my dream." Cassie followed on
"Was it good?" Michael smiled but his gaze still on me.
"Yeah but it changed quickly." Cassie answered a smile slowly curling from his lips, the relief washed over me. Soon we were giggling and snorting and Cassie smiled flashing his whites.
Yes! I made him smile!

Michael was contented at that and decided it is time to go. Anna soon went as well not without a reminder though. I was still enjoying my syrup pancake when Cassie told me to get ready already.

I wish Cassie would just open up to us. Talk a bit more, like he always do when mom was around. he is actually a happy person and compassionate at that but, no matter how we try to show him that, like mom, we accept him as who and what he is. He just wouldn't.
He thinks it's not obvious, I won't push him. Because like Anna, everyone just swoons to Cassie. Lucky bastard!

Nevertheless, he is #4 and I am #5 so I finished and did as told.

"Hey Gabriel!" I heard him just as I was putting my top on. Seriously what is it with him and nicknames that they can't work together?

"What Up?" I managed to get that out as I pulled down my shirt
"Where is Raphael? He did not sleep here last night."
I put on my white rugged polo on top of Dark green v neck
"Dud he is a med student, I don't think sleep exists for them." I chuckled
"Why haven't he texted?or called?"
"Cassie!stop it! You sound like mom again!" I had to call that out. He seemed taken aback, but believe me it was necessary. He said he will wait by the car. Good.

When he finally completed his attire and grabbed his coat he goes to his car, our car. Yeah we share. I sat at the bed, scratched my head and prayed to mom. Prayed to give Cassie peace and to give him what he needs. I love my mellow brother.

So I got up, cleared my throat and found that smile again. I found Cassie leaning on the driver's door, I guess I'll take shot gun then.

"Let's go!" I got in. Cassie was starting the car and I noticed he is wearing his coat "Michael wanted that.." Cassie explained that he tried handing it over. Michael was right though. Dad knew always, who needs what. He made a great choice asking Cassie to have it. A symbol maybe.

We reached the university. I thought I saw a classic car drove up. Sweet!! Its an Impala!

As if seeing that car wasn't enough. I saw this, young man, so tall and eager looking. He had deep dimples and he looked athletic too. Damn... He is cute!!
That driver called him Sammy... Hmm I know who I will chase today!
