"Oh… sorry, I'm not too used to friendly people." Cas laughed weakly, looking away. "This isn't a very familiar environment for me."

"Oh," Nick responded. "Well, there's a first time for everything, I guess." He smiled.

"Yeah… so, did you want to talk about something in particular?" Cas asked curiously, trying not to sound rude.

“Not really,” Nick said. “Just wanted to say hi to my friend.”

"Oh, okay…" Cas flushed a bit at being referred to as Nick's friend and looked away. "Um… hello, then." He replied awkwardly.

Nick smiled. “Howdy,” he teased, blushing slightly as well.

"D-Don't make fun of me…" Cas whined, burying his red face in his books. "I'm not used to having friends."

He’s so cute when he blushes, the thought came to Nick, unbidden. He blinked, caught off guard, before formulating a reply. “You’ll get used to it,” he responded quickly with a chuckle, hoping that Cas hadn’t noticed the slip.

"I hope so… people aren't very nice where I come from. I'm more used to the way Brandon and Ian treated me."

“Well, I’m going to make sure that you get used to having decent friends!” Nick replied, his eyes alight.

Cas smiled weakly, his face still flushed. "Thanks, Nick. Maybe you can teach me how to be a good friend."

Nick smiled. “Of course! I’d like that,” he responded.

"U-Um… either way, we should probably get to class. Maybe we can meet up after school sometime?"

“Sure, that sounds good,” Nick agreed, realizing that they did need to get to class.

"What day works best for you?" Cas asked. "I should be free every day…"

Nick shrugged. “I dunno, probably Thursday or Friday,” he replied. “The end of the week is usually the least busy for me.”

Cas nodded a bit. "Alright, Friday it is. See you later!" He smiled softly and waved as he headed off to his next class.

Nick waved as well, heading off to his class. Maybe he and Cass would be better friends soon after all.

(Alrighty!)
After school on Friday, Cas stood by Nick's locker to wait for him. Considering he still didn't know how to read, he had requested to just follow Nick home instead of asking for a written address.

Nick walked to his own locker, giddy with relief that both Ian and Brandon were absent that day. He hoped this meant that he wouldn’t have to deal with either of them. He waved and grinned when he saw Cas standing at his locker.

"Hello." Cas smiled weakly and moved out of Nick's way. "What're we gonna do at your house?" He asked curiously.
