Mentions of possible medical problems, depressed thoughts, physical harm, and swearing.

I don't own SPN.

Dean never got nearly as much punishments as Sam did. Dean was perfect at everything therefore giving him the title of favorite son. Sam on the other hand wasn't so lucky, his dad sometimes seemed to think he was the worst person he ever layed his eyes on. That hurt Sam more than any punishment ever could.

His father was hurting him beyond words by giving Dean all the affection and pats on the back. Sam was left to watch and suffer in silence.

Sam already knew he was in deep shit when he found out he got a detention. Which really shouldn't have been his fault. He was so exhausted from training for 6 hours straight the night before that he couldn't help the slip of consciousness in math class. In his defense he has already learned what they covering in another school they had left 3 weeks prior. So he already knew what was being taught. But of coarse that was no excuse. Mr. George gave him a detention starting right after school until 4:30. So 2 hours. He knew when the school called his dad that when he got home he'd get the holy grail of punishments.

Again with the unfair treatments, John nearly gave up on getting Dean to be good in school which meant he would only get a stern talking to. Sam on the other hand was going to have the belt come out this time. Who knows, maybe even the spoons too.

He was not looking forward to it. The bell rang and Sam could already feel the sting on his ass in anticipation. Being his first ever detention, Sam didn't know what would happen, but it couldn't be too bad. His friend Derek gets one almost every day. Sam quickly stopped at his locker to get his backpack and walked nervously to Mr. George's room. At first Sam only peaked in. He saw George at his desk, glasses hanging close to the end of his nose. His brow was knitted together from being annoyed all day.

Why can't he just retire? He's like 80 or something. He should be in a nursing home with all the other old people.

" Come in Winchester," Mr. George said lowly without looking up. Sam completely opened the door and hesitantly walked in. Sam sat in his usual seat, near the front. He was expecting to see the angry face of Mr. George come up next to him and rant about how sleeping in class is not okay and he needed to write I'm sorry for sleeping in class on the board 200 times. Sam was confused when his teacher didn't get up. He was too focused on our homework he usually never graded. This would probably be the first time. It had been about 20 minutes before Mr. George even acknowledged him.

The older man sighed while putting his glasses down on the desk and rubbing his head.

He got up and went to the front of the class like he did during the middle of the day. He looked almost as depressed as Sam.

He signed and looked at the petrified boy.

" You aren't like regular students Sam. You're quiet, not annoying. This isn't regular behavior for you. I had to give you a detention or else I would get in trouble. You don't seem to ever get in trouble, so is something wrong, the reason why you're so tired?"

He asked politely, but in a tired tone.

"My dad made us do a lot of exercise last night." Sam said. He didn't want to add too much detail.

Mr. George knitted his brow together at the answer.

" Why?"

" I don't know, he just wants us to be in shape," Sam wasn't good at lying. But technically it wasn't even though this isn't the full truth. He wasn't overweight, but he did have some chub, which really was only baby fat. He is skinnier than most of the people in this school.

Mr.George didn't seem to understand.

" I know you now. I think I understand," Mr. George said nodding.

How? How could he possibly know.

" I had a dad like yours," Mr. George came a little closer, sitting in one of the desks diagonal from him.

" Let me guess, very strict, so strict you can't stand it. He brings out the belt sometimes, spanking are almost regular. He drinks, so much that he gets mad, uncontrollable at times. You don't see him for hows mane even days or he calls you, needing a ride from a bar. He is tough, mean at times. He likes things a certain way, and he won't settle for any else. You rarely get to call him dad, for he thinks he's at a higher power than a father. Maybe like a drill sargent. You move from place to place ever few weeks to months, starting at a new school. Always the new kid huh? You know how to handle guns, knives, fighting?"

Sam was shocked. He knew about his dad?

" Y-yeah, how'd you know about that?" Sam stuttered.

George nodded his head and got up, wondering around.

" Every once in a while we get a kid like you, one that has a hunter for a father. Usually the mother is dead. It's always vengents. In fact, it's more common than you think. I was a kid like you, never having a stable home life, no one who really understands."

" Wow, I never thought anyone had a life like mine. How are you a teacher then? My dad would kill me if I even mentioned college!" Sam asked, trying to find hope that he too could eventually have life as normal as anyone else.

" Not that I recommend this, but I ran away. I was 19, we were hunting vampires, nasty things. The day we killed them I left. I got accepted into college and even though my dad and I fought, it was worth it. Look where I am now. I have a two younger siblings. Darrel who is only a year younger, and my sister Jannett who is 3 years younger. I was never really close to my siblings, so it made it easier. But they still called and I still answered. Now I have 3 kids, a wife, 3 nieces, 2 nephews, and 5 grandchildren. I love each and everyone of them."

Sam was so shocked to see what life Mr. George has had. He didn't know people who live his lifestyle and ever got out. Sam wanted out at the nearest opertunity. But for now, he'd stay out. It's the only smart thing. Sam just nodded and sighed.

" Not looking into going home?" Mr. George asked knowingly.

" Nope, the belt is gonna come off tonight," Sam said closing his eyes.

" I understand kid, but I've found that if you don't show reaction, it helps. It shows maturity." Sam was glad to have someone that truly knows what he is going through.

" Thanks," Sam said smiling. Although this helped to ease him, the lingering feeling of his heart in his stomach wouldn't waver.
