Dear Grim Reaper,
Does Castiel talk? The cat. I asked mom and she said that it was the name of an angel in some magic show or something but does the cat talk cause after I found him I thought he said hi to me and I don't know if I was dreaming or not. You said that I knew one of your friends but who? I haven't met any magic people. Or skeleton people. Is that what grim reapers look like? Cause that's what bee told me.
Today bee asked me to help him do this date thing. He said adults do it all the time so I helpt him make dinner and we ate early together and before mom came home from work I helpt him set up the table then he sent me to bed. It was really nice there weer lights everywhere. He said he wanted me to eat with him first so I could know what a real date was but I don't know why cause I'm not an adult so I can't do them right?
Mom just came home and since I'm not allowed outside at night I told her I left my teddy outside by the pool and I wanted her to go get it because Bee told me to tell her that so she could go see the pool and see the surprise date. He said people do dates when they really like each other and Bee has a crush on my mom, it's funny cause he looks scary but he's really nice and mom looks really nice but is really scary. I cal him bee cause he called me honey combe when I hurt my knee.
I have to go to bed now. Goodnight.
Lot's of life,
Hailer

*Hailey's POV
"Is this a real date by the way?" Tyler asked from across me, taking a sip of his coke. McDonald's, great place for a "date".
I shrugged "I don't know, do you want it to be?" I smiled, leaning my head on my hand. He looked like he didn't really know how to reply "I mean...." He looked a little uncomfortable so I stayed quiet, letting him figure out what he was trying to say.
"Darren and I did set the rule that neither of us could date/sleep with you cause that would just make things awkward" He said uncomfortably "And also my sis is kinda into you a tiny bit" he pursed his lips.
I looked down at the nuggets in front of me with a frown "oh" I muttered "What? Did you want this to be a date?" he looked surprised. I quickly shook my head.
"That's not it. About your sister...I don't know if I wanna say this cause well, you're her brother after all and I don't want you to hate me" I said letting out an awkward laugh. He put his drink down "Tell me" he said as he reached for his burger.
I pursed my lips "She's not my type..." I avoided his eye for a few seconds but looked back at him when he didn't say anything. He didn't look very...affected?
"So?" he asked taking a bite of his burger. I frowned "So? I thought you'd get offended. The last time someone told me their sib was into me and I said I wasn't into them, I thought they'd strangle me" I leaned back in my chair, eating one of my nuggets slowly.
He shrugged in reply "You said it yourself, everyone has different tastes. Although I'd like to know, what's not your type about her?" he asked. I paused "we're practically opposites. I know people say opposites attract but sometimes there's too much opposite. She's into shopping, i'm into video games, She gets excited about makeup while I'm not really into it. And even though I told her I wasn't into makeup and manicures and such she still forced me to...proper myself up?
"She doesn't seem to have any sense of money, judging on everything she spent her money on. I'm not trying to judge her. Not at all...but it kinda scares me to see people throw their money away, especially on so many clothes. She's a very sweet girl and she's really pretty...but I don't think we'd last very long. I'd rather not break her heart on a maybe" I muttered the last time and he stayed quiet, kinda staring at me.
He nodded "Alright, understandable.... Although. That's the way she is, so please don't...you know, hurt her, even as friends, if you do become friends" he said. I nodded and he nodded back "Brb. Gotta go bathroom" He stood up and left.
I watched him leave and the second he was gone I took my empty glass, took his ketchup packet thing and stuck my straw in it. I put the ketchup packet+straw back in the lid and stuck it back on the glass then swapped it for his coke.
I took a sip of his coke and went back to my nuggets, checking my phone once I had put the drink down to see if any of the guys had texted me. I saw I had just been added to a group chat titled 'birthday' and clicked excitedly, reading the text exchange between Freddie and Felix that started not too long after I left the dorm.
Felix- Jared's B-Day in a month. Birthday present ideas needed pronto
Freddie- no
Felix- Dude, come on. My imagination is dry
Freddie- not the only thing that's dry
Felix- Fuck you. Hail, Come on, you always have the best ideas, hit me
Freddie- Yes. Please hit him
Felix- STFU asshat, you're adopted
Felix- Sorry that was rude. I meant to say you were an accident
Freddie- I hope you sued your hairdresser cause he fucked up your hair
Felix- TAKE THAT BACK. FIGHT ME BITCH
Freddie- no
Felix- Freddie I will end you
Felix- Fred
Felix- Freddie
Felix- Frederick
Felix- dude, answer meh
Felix- listen up, I'm not goin to fight with you when we're tryin to find a present for Jared
Freddie- my present'll be better than yours
Felix- OH IT IS ON
Hailey- you guys are insufferable. Have your competition without including me please. I know what I'm getting him already.
Felix- WHAT IS IT!!!!
Hailey- No. You'll copy me
Felix- No I won't 😇
Hailey- I'll text ya'll later, I have a prank to witness
I quickly put my phone away before they could answer and distract me. I watched Tyler pull his seat out and sit in it, taking his glass. He took a sip and frowned. He kept sucking on the straw and suddenly gagged, spitting out the straw and wiping the ketchup from his chin.
I started laughing lightly as he stared at me, both confused and horrified "what the hell did you do?" He glared, almost ripping the lid of his drink, staring at the ketchup packet connected to the straw "that's for putting Vodka in my drink" I grinned, finishing my fries.
He stared inside the empty drink "where's my coke?" he looked back at me as if he really was gonna strangle me "down the drain" I said taking a sip of "my" coke.
He grabbed the drink out of my hand and opened the lid, glaring at me once he realized I had drank some of it "thanks for lunch, bye" I got up, throwing my things away in the nearby bin. He shoved the last bite of his burger into his mouth, threw away his stuff and brought his drink with him as he followed after me.
The walk back to Campus (which was only about 6 minutes away) was an extremely silent one. Tyler was walking on my left, not too far behind me and I could feel his glare on the back of my head "I'd like it if you didn't burn a hole through my scalp" I said as I turned around to look at him, walking backwards.
The campus was barely a minute away and I knew that revenge was waiting for me once I got back to the dorm. He was probably plotting something in his mind right now.
He only stopped glaring at me when we got to the dorm and inside our place. His attention got caught by the mess awaiting in the living room. "What?" Is all I heard him mutter before he threw his shoes off and hurried to the couch where a girl was lying face down, hands over her head.
Her body was shaking gently and I rushed over as well, recognizing the girl as Hannah. I sat on the coffee table while Ty stood at end of the couch where her head was "Hannah?" I asked. She raised her head slowly and the rage in her eyes made me raise my eyebrow "what?" she snapped.
I raised my hands "woah, you good" I asked "Nobody asked you, get the fuck out" she growled. I leaned back, surprise hitting me between the eyes "the fuck crawled up her ass and died?" I asked, looking at Ty, not caring if she heard me.
She sat up "Alright listen bitch, this isn't your dorm so get the fuck out before I beat you up to" She looked like she was ready to attack me "who the fuck said this wasn't my dorm" I stood up "you being Taylor or whatever's girlfriend doesn't make this your dorm" she stood up as well, trying to size up to me. Hehe, I'm taller than her.
"What the fuck is your problem, jesus christ?" I threw my hands up the air and her glared deepened "get the fuck out" she growled lowly. I smiled sweetly and when she looked confused I stepped back, put my hand on her shoulder so that all her weight would go on her right leg then swiped my foot under it.
As she fell, my hand that had been on her shoulder went around the top of her back to stop her. In the moment of shock I quickly put my other arm under her knees, picked her up and quickly walked towards the door. I pushed the door, swung it open and placed her on her feet, pushing her out into the hall.
She hit her shoulder against the wall opposite our dorm room and jumped when her boots landed at her feet. I gave her one last glare and slammed the door, locking it behind me. Tyler was sitting on the couch where her head had been, looking slightly shocked "where the hell did you learn how to do that?" his jaw was practically falling off his face.
I shrugged "Kung-fu. Our teacher described it as the style that you could take out to the streets". He stood up "well next time give me some type of signals so I can record it" he started walking towards the kitchen.
I nodded "K. You have class in 30 minutes" I said, looking at my watch. He stopped before walking into the kitchen, shouted "FUCK" and ran at full speed back into his room. I chuckled and started walking towards my own room, ignoring the mess in the living room.
I jumped when Darren's door creaked open and he poked his head out "Is she gone?" He asked. I frowned "what the fuck did you do?" I asked. He frowned right back "Why do you think it's my fault?" he responded, opening his door fully and leaning against the door frame.
I looked at him like he was an idiot "1) cause she was YOUR date, and 2)cause you were hiding". He scoffed "so? doesn't make it my fault" he pushed past me and walked away, probably on his way to the kitchen "you better tell what you did, later" I called out.
I swung my bedroom door open, half-slammed it closed and almost threw myself onto my bed "I'm never leaving my room again" I muttered into my pillow. I felt my phone buzz and pulled it out my pocket, quickly clicking to take the call.
"HAILEYYYYYYYY" I had made sure my phone was away from my ear when I recognized the number as being Felix's "New phone, who dis?" I asked, bringing the phone to my ear "fuck you. Look for real, what do I get Jared?" he asked "he's as rich as goddamn Donald Trump, is there anything he really needs?".
I sat up "you're his bro, just get him something stupid af. He ain't gonna give a shit. Like a book titled 101 ways to pick up guys or some shit, just to mess with him. I dunno" the line went quiet and all I heard was "genius" come from him before he hung up quickly.
I rolled my eyes. What a fucking idiot. Although that does sound like a hilarious present.
I leaned against my wall and started scrolling Facebook when the bathroom door swung open to reveal Tyler standing there with his own phone in hand "my sis is coming over and I have class and she has no where else to go cause she has no friends and her roommates are asshats. Mind keeping her company?" he said quickly.
I looked down at my phone then back at him "K" I replied. He brought his phone to his ear, said "she says yes" then ran back to his room, leaving the bathroom door open, like an asshole. I hope you fail all your classes Ty.

"HAHA I WIN AGAIN!!!!" she shouted, slamming her card down on my carpeted floor. I chuckled "nice" I said, making sure the card that would have won me the game three rounds ago was well hidden in my sleeve "wanna play another one?" I asked.
She shrugged "Nah. I'm good, I feel bad about beating you at a game you taught me. Probably beginners luck though" She giggled and leaned back against my bed as I picked up the cards and slipped my hidden one into the pack, incognito.
Honestly, when it didn't come down to shopping, she was kinda really fun to hang with. She wanted to try every game I suggested even if she wasn't sure she'd like it, we made pancakes together and she drew a smiley face on my cheek with flour, and even though I don't like makeup and dressing up she acted a lot calmer when giving me tips on how I should pick out a dress for my eldest bro's wedding (he surprisingly invited me).
I guess she was better than I had intentionally thought. She also apologized for the crazy shopping and explained that she hadn't gone in a really long while and had drank too much coffee, which is bad since she already has too much energy (I can confirm) and coffee basically doubles it.
"Wanna watch a movie?" I asked "yas" she fist bumped the air and went to get up quickly. She tripped over my blanket (which was half on the ground) and went falling towards me. I quickly moved to the side, and let her fall gently on the bed in surprise.
"That almost turned into a cliche movie scene" she laughed, covering her face with her hands as I laughed as well "Ah yes. I've seen a few people get together at my old school with cliche things. Those didn't actually last very long" I chuckled, getting up and sitting next to her on my bed.
She sat up and turned to me with a grin "honestly, people should try to either be extremely original, or just good old straight up tell people they wanna kiss em" she rolled her eyes, still laughing silently "you ever wanted to kiss someone really bad but just... didn't?" I asked.
She nodded "yeah but I always wonder. What's stopping us from it?" she looked up the ceiling, as if the question actually was circling her mind. And it circled mine. Yeah, what was stopping us? Nothing except ourselves.
I looked at Kailey for a second. Her dirty blonde hair looked dark gold in the soft light of my room and now that we were sitting next to each other I noticed a few freckles along her nose and cheeks. They looked good on her.
"Kailey?" I said. I shut off the voice that was stopping me as she turned to face me.
And I kissed her
