@Fraust

Cas looked up when he was addressed. "U-Um… no, ma'am. I don't know exactly what those are… and I haven't been at the school for very long yet."

@Fraust

Cas considered for a few seconds. "Um… well… Brandon and Ian were… picking on me, I guess, so Nick helped me out."

@MusicElle-is-here

“They were?” She blinked. “That’s odd. Those two are such nice boys usually.”

Nick made a cutting throat motion to get Cas to stop talking. Brandon and Ian were great at manipulating his parents, and Nick’s mom liked them anyway because of their grades and extracurriculars.

@Fraust

Cas cowered a bit when he noticed Nick and looked away. "Y-Yeah, um… they like teasing the new kids, it's really no big deal. I'm fine. Everything is fine. I was also struggling with getting adjusted, so Nick invited me over to help me… um… study…"

@MusicElle-is-here

“Oh, that sounds nice,” Nick’s mom said warmly. “Those two are just having a little fun, don’t mind them. So how are your classes going?”

@Fraust

"Um… not great, but Nick's trying to help me with that. I used to be… uh… homeschooled, so I'm not really used to public school…"

@Fraust

"Um… w-well, it's… it's a difficult transition from… my other situation…" Cas replied awkwardly, still seeming pretty nervous.

@MusicElle-is-here

She nodded. "I'm sure it is, honey," she replied. "Well, I hope Nick has been helping you adjust." Nick could see that Cas was uncomfortable, but could see no way to fix it right now, as his mom would continue to badger Cas with questions throughout the dinner.

@Fraust

"Y-Yeah… we're working on it. I think my foster parents put me in classes that are a bit too advanced for what I know…" Cas sighed.

@MusicElle-is-here

"I'm sure that Nick can tutor you! He sometimes tutors other kids," his mom suggested with a smile. "Besides, you seem like a smart boy. You'll get the hang of it."

@Fraust

"Smart… r-right…" Cas flushed lightly. "He said something about the tutoring thing, yeah. There's just… a lot that I don't know."

@Fraust

Cas flushed harder and looked away. "Uhm… y-you know… normal school things… my dad just wasn't a great teacher…"

@Fraust

"I hope you're right, ma'am… I've got a whole pile of homework at my house that I just don't have any clue how to do…"

@MusicElle-is-here

“Isn’t that what you two were doing earlier?” she asked.

“We were studying for a different class,” Nick explained, casting a glance at Cas.

“You two must have quite the workload,” she responded.

@Fraust

Cas nodded a bit, looking down at the floor. "It's… it's a lot to try and do, especially so early in the year."

@Fraust

Cas nodded a bit. "Okay… it's just… it's a really hard transition…" He sighed shakily. "It's different than I thought…"

@Fraust

"I'm not… I'm not used to being around other people. It's been years since I'd lived with anyone. It's so strange…"
