A sleek black Jaguar pulled up at the gates to Clear Lake High School and a boy, almost fifteen years old, stepped out gracefully. Everyone in the school's courtyard stopped to look in his direction and admire him. He, Alois Trancy, was the king of Clear Lake. He was the most popular boy there, and every single person was under his rule. He slung a small backpack over his shoulder, which was layered with a long purple coat with the collar sticking up, and turned back to the car, knee-high black boots with purple ribbons clicking against the paving stones, and leant inside to hug the little boy that sat beside his seat. "Goodbye Luka, have a good day alright? I'll see you when you get home".
"Yes Your Highness!" the little boy replied happily, hugging his older brother tightly.
Alois giggled and patted his auburn hair before shutting the door with a graceful slam and walked to the front of the car, peering through the window. "Goodbye Claude! I do hope work goes well for you today!"
"Hm..." Claude grunted before rolling up the tinted windows as Alois walked away towards the school and drove off to take Luka to his own school - Coral Coast Middle School.
Alois was soon greeted with the endless callings of his name from everyone who wanted his attention specifically this year. Being in Year 10, his second year at Clear Lake, made him just that little higher up in the school, and with the new Year 9's coming in too, his popularity would only continue to grow.
"Alois! Alois! I'm from the school paper, can you give us a quick word to describe how you feel about this year? Will it be a good one?"
Alois smirked and twirled, purple coat swishing around him before he lifted his hands up to the side of his face and clapped them together with closed eyes and a bright smile. "Olé!" Everyone knew that was Alois' famous phrase for when he was pleased about something - so the school paper girl simply translated it as "This year will be even better than last!" for her readers.
"Alois, what do you think about the new Year 9's that are coming in?" one boy asked from the crowd.
Alois simply smirked again and put his hands behind his back. "Oh I hope they have a wonderful time here at Clear Lake, we'll all make them feel very welcome, won't we?"
"Yes Your Highness!" the crowd chorused before heading off to their own destinations as Alois walked over to his locker and opened it, smiling at the small picture of Luka and him taped on the inside of the door, and grabbing whatever lousy books he needed for the first two lessons - Geography with Mr. Spears and History with Mr. Knox. Great. What a boring way to begin the year. Alois closed his locker after blowing a small kiss to his reflection in the mirror on the door underneath the picture and turned to find his usual trio of friends waiting for him.
The trio were triplets; Cantebury, Timber and Thompson. Alois could barely tell them apart from one another but that didn't really matter to him, so long as they followed him around as his faithful bodyguards all day (except when they had a different lesson to him) then he was fine. And they didn't seem to mind either since they were constantly together anyway. "Ah you three, how were your summer breaks? Mine was excellent as always, Luka's such a playful little thing! So, who's got Geography with me this morning?" Cantebruy raised his hand in reply and Alois nodded. "Awesome!"
After the foursome had made their way to the Geography classroom, Timber and Thompson left to go to their own lessons and the remaining two walked into the classroom and Alois received something even more distasteful than the lesson. "You have got to be kidding me!" he hissed under his breath, for right there, at the back next to his usual seat, sat the one and only Ciel Phantomhive.
Hope you liked it! And I just want to set a few things straight to do with the school, since it's set in England and I'm English and currently live in England so I'm basing this on how my upper school worked (yes, it would be called Clear Lake Upper School but I prefer saying High School).
Um, Ciel is actually a year younger than Ciel so he is in Year 9, the baby year of the school and Alois is, as mentioned above, in Year 10. Their school schedule is 1st and 2nd period, break, 3rd and 4th, lunch 5th and then 6th for Sixth Formers (Years 12 and 13) if they have any. This fanfic will (hopefully) be going through until when Ciel finishes Year 11 (so quite a long fic).
Claude does work at the school, but he normally drops Alois off, then takes Luka to his school, and then comes back - and he's allowed since he's filthy rich and Alois is 'king of the school' so what he says goes.
Um, also Hannah (or Miss Anafeloz - her name is spelt that way in the OVA: The Making of Kuroshitsuji II) is Alois' form tutor but we can all guess he's always going to skip out on form time in the mornings and wait for someone to tell him anything important. And of course, Ciel is in William's form class! So every time Alois has Geography in the morning, they're going to pass one another.
Umm...I hope that makes things clearer for you if you don't really know how the English school system works - no offense! And I hope you enjoyed this and are looking forward to the first chapter! It should be up sometime tomorrow, I'll work on it!
Thanks for reading, bye!
