At Lawrence Kindergarten, the young students were allowed to pick the colour of their book bag on their first day. Dean picked blue because it was his favourite colour. There were six other children in his class that also picked blue book bags. Though most of the children had their parents write their names on their bags, Dean wanted his to be kept clean and tidy.

Lots of other children wrote on their bags and drew pictures and stuck colourful stickers on them to personalise them, Dean’s remained spotless. Dean’s best friend, Castiel, also had a really clean book bag. His mother didn’t let him write over what she deemed school property, saying “Things like this must be looked after, Castiel, or you won’t be able to have new things.” He listened and kept his bag clean, too.

On one particular day, Dean and Castiel had been doing different activities. Dean chose to play with the Lego that his teacher had spread out on the floor in one corner of the classroom, and Castiel chose to do some art with the paint that his teacher had placed on a table off to the side.

Dean made a car out of the Lego. “Look Miss Harvelle! It’s my daddy’s car!” He exclaimed excitedly.

“Oh, wow, look at that!” His teacher praised.

“Can…  Can I take it home?”

“Sure, honey. Put it in your book bag. Just remember to bring it back tomorrow so that the other children can play with the Lego.”

“Thanks!” Dean scuttled off to the back of the classroom and put it in his book bag, careful not to break his precious creation.
