Chapter 1
AN: Update-ed chapter! Huge thanks to lotrspnfangirl for looking this over and making this better. All mistakes are still mine.
Dean Winchester was a normal 16-year-old boy. He lived in a small town with his mom, Mary, in a small apartment over her cafe shop. Well, cafe slash bookstore, if he were to be specific. There were books everywhere in the shop, so many that Dean was sure his mom owned more than the school's library. Not that Dean had ever gone into the school library, but Charlie, biggest nerd on the planet and Dean’s best friend, said the school library was tiny. So it had to be true. She also worked at his mom's shop.
On the weekend, he worked at his uncle Bobby's Salvage yard. He would help him in the garage, fixing up cars that came in, and in his spare time he worked on his baby. His baby was a ‘67 Chevy Impala that he found in the back of the yard one day. It was love at first sight and she became his pride and joy.
Well, she wasn't his really. There was no way he had enough money to buy her. Knowing Bobby like he did, he knew Bobby would love to just give him the car. But Bobby's garage wasn't doing so well right now; Dean wouldn't want to take a car that Bobby could sell, for free. For now, Dean would just work on getting his baby back in to tip top condition and save enough money to buy her later.
At school, Dean did everything imaginable to stay under the radar. He got good grades and behaved well in classes. In his free time, he would find an empty corner somewhere and hang out with his friends.
For instance, right now he was sitting under a tree in the school ground with Benny, Charlie, Jo and Ash. The girls were gossiping about the new kids that were supposedly starting the school later this day. Apparently they were related to some popular kids in the school. Dean wasn't really paying attention.
“Hey, Winchester! I need to talk to you," someone called from the parking lot. Dean didn't know why he bothered to look up; everyone he talks to at school was sitting next to him. Therefore, he wasn't surprised when he saw Sam Winchester walk past him, talking intently with Alastair, a few minutes later.
Sam Winchester was Dean’s half brother. When Mary told his father she was pregnant with Dean, John had been overjoyed. A week later he told her that he was leaving for college and that he would pay for her to have an abortion. Why John suddenly decided he didn't want their kid and to leave for school was a mystery. Needless to say, Mary did not have an abortion; John still left.
Ten years ago, John showed back up with his fancy new car, a wife, and a kid. A kid who just happend to be four months younger than Dean. At first, Dean had tried to look out for Sam. He knew from all the books he’d read that big brothers should look out for their little brothers. When other kids were mean to Sam, he would tell them to stop and leave Sam alone.
Sam didn't like that. John really, really didn't like that.
Apparently, Dean was stopping Sam from making friends. Mary had always told Dean that if people were mean to him than they weren't really his friends. That was why Dean chose Benny, Jo, Charlie and Ash. Sure, they made fun of one another, but they never meant to hurt anybody's feelings.
It was quickly established that the brothers didn't get along. Sam seemed to hate that he wasn't John’s only son. Therefore, he hated Dean, and he did everything in his power to make Dean’s life difficult. Since Sam was one of the popular kids, it wasn't all that hard.
Dean tried not to let it get to him, but watching Sam live the rich and popular life was hard sometimes. Especially when money was tight at his home. John didn't make it any easier. As far as John was concerned, Dean didn't exist, and he only had one son to support.

Today was the last day to sign on to the school's extra curricular classes.
Dean hadn't been in a hurry to sign up for the extra gym class, especially since the information board had been surrounded all week. So Dean decided to wait until after school when everyone was gone. He knew he would get in whether he was on top of the list or the bottom. The school coach had been asking him for a while to join any school sports team that he wanted; apparently he was a natural in every sport the school had to offer.
Dean was just about to round his last corner to go to the signup sheets when he saw Sam. He was standing in front of the board and had his pen poised over one of the papers there, but he wasn't writing anything. He just stood there staring at it. Just as Sam was about to write something his phone started ringing and Dean watched him jump slightly before he put the pen down before he searched his jacket for the phone. When he finally found it he looked at the screen and his posture fell. He then quickly looked back between the board and the phone before Dean heard him clear his throat.
"Hey, Dad."
Dean didn't hear what John was saying on the phone, but he did notice that Sam was looking at his shoes the entire time John was talking.
"Yeah, I'm just about to sign up," said Sam as he looked longingly up at the sign-up sheet.
“Yeah, Dad. I will. Bye."
Dean watched as Sam put his phone away and picked up his pen again before signing his name. What surprised Dean was that Sam didn't write his name on the sheet he was looking at earlier, but had gone to the one next to it. The younger boy glanced over the sheets one more time before slinging his backpack over his shoulder and starting off down the hall-- thankfully in the opposite direction.
Dean made his way over to the board after making sure that Sam was really gone. He was in no mood to deal with him today. He quickly found the list, which happened to be the gym one, that had Sam. Winchester on it. No surprise there. What did surprise Dean, however, was what list Sam had been looking at earlier.
- Supernatural -
It was a week later in regularly scheduled gym class, that coach Turner would announce who got in the extra class and who didn't. Dean was in a pretty good mood when he and Benny walked into the gym. His good mood was ruined the moment he saw John talking to coach Turner.
"What the fuck is he doing here, Benny?"
"I don't know brother. The Golden boy probably asked him to come," answered Benny. But when Dean looked over at Sam, he looked just as shocked at John being there as everyone else.
Before Dean could say anything to Benny, Coach told everybody to sit down and keep their mouths shut.
"Now, I have two announcements. First, who got a spot in the extra gym class. As you all know, this list is final. There will be no dropping out or changing classes; if you got into the extra gym class, you have to show up for the extra classes and your regular gym class. The ones not on the list are still required to show up for their regular gym class. Am I clear?"
A number of "Hell yes!" from the jocks accompanied by a groan from the nerds could be heard echoing in the large gym space.
“Good, now here’s who got on the final list.”
Dean wasn’t really paying any attention to what the Coach was saying at this point since he knew he that his name would be last. Having a last name that starts with ‘W’ had its advantages and disadvantages. Instead, he found himself busy watching John who was standing slightly behind the Coach with a smug smile plastered on his face.
“--Jo Harvelle--” The name broke through Dean’s subconscious and he looked over, sharing a smile with Benny. They both knew Jo was better than most of the boys in their class and were looking forward to playing with her in the extra class since she was in a different gym class than they were. Dean, unfortunately caught the next name, too. Alastair Heyerdahl. Jo was going to hate having him there. The two of them did not get along.
Dean was so busy picturing Jo kicking Alastair’s ass that he almost missed when Coach called out, “Benny Lafitte, Lucier Novak…” Dean high-fived his best friend as he heard Sam and his friend’s congratulating Lucifer, and then Uriel, behind him. Their group got so loud that Coach actually had to stop reading off his list and tell them all to, “Sit your damn asses down and shut up before I make you!”
“It’s weird that Uriel got in the class,” Benny whispered, leaning over as silence filled the gym and Coach cleared his throat, adjusting the paper he was reading from. “There are only two spots left now. Coach has to be crazy not to give you one, brother. But as much as I hate to say it? Both Gordon and Sam are ten times better than Uriel... so why is he on he list?” Dean shrugged, not having time to answer as the Coach read out the last names. “Alright, lastly we have Gordon Walker and Dean Winchester."
There was a beat of silence and then, "Umm, Coach? I think you forgot to say my name..." Sam called out, almost nervously if Dean didn’t know any better, which stopped John who was getting ready to argue with Coach Turner.
"I think you forgot to sign your name to this class boy. I checked! Twice."
"But I..."
"You wanna take a look for yourself?" Coach Turner snapped as he handed Sam the sign-up sheet. At the bottom of the sheet, where Sam had originally written his name, was now 'Dean Winchester' with the most bizarre looking D. Dean saw the recognition come over the side of Sam’s face. Hhe could see, knew the other Winchester realized that underneath the new name had been a Sam. Sam turned and came face to face with his 'brother'.
"Oops... did I forget to tell you I took your place? Don't worry though, I put your name on the list next to it. I think it was... literature or something? Nerd." Dean gave his best, nasty sneer, before dragging Benny as far away from his so called brother as he could.
Dean could feel the gaze of both Sam and John on the back of his head as he walked away and for a moment, he wondered if Sam knew that Dean had picked the list because he’d seen that was what Sam had wanted… No matter who was closer to him, they both knew John’s idea of what made a ‘strong, successful son’ and being in a club that wasn’t focused on some type of sport? Was not it. Dean also gave Sam an out-- he could blame Dean Winchester, the bad son, for switching his name over. John couldn’t possibly get mad at Sam for that.
"I’m sorry John, but this is final," Coach Turner argued back to whatever John had said to him while Sam had been busy staring at Dean. If he had said it any louder, it would have been heard on the other side of the school... Dean stopped with Benny when they neared the bleachers and turned back around to look at the coach. "Now for my second announcement. I'm going away for two months and the school board has asked John to take over my classes. Everyone say hello to Coach Winchester!"
The only thing that went through Dean's mind was, 'Fuck, this is going to be hell.’
AN: Some of you may have figure it out that I got this story idea from One Tree Hill. I make no promises of when I will update this, put hopefully soon.
