August 25th excerpt:
“Class, say hello to Dean Winchester, our new student at school.”
“Hello, Dean.”
The mumbled response to the teacher’s introduction left much to be desired, but it was more than Dean had received in other places. He stood at the front of the class, his hands shoved in his pockets and his shoulders slouched. As the last of the words tapered off, Dean gave a jerky half-wave, doing his best to avoid catching anyone’s gaze.
