Summary: Private School AU. His father being the Dean of students, Jensen has barely known life outside the walls of Lakewood Academy. He's grown distant and jaded, most of the time keeping to himself rather than interact with his fellow students and teachers. But his life is about to change completely when a new student, Jared, transfers to Lakewood and seems determined to make Jensen come out of his shell.
A/N: Written for
spn_cinema. Loosely inspired by the themes of Disney's
The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
