Hey Hi Hello Everyone! So this was pretty unannounced, but I have teamed up with Asami. Clam for my first Collab Fic! Yay! Omg I'm so excited.

ANYWAYS, we wanted to keep it a surprise until we were ready to post the first chapter, so here it goes!

Ciel Vincent Phantomhive sat in his seat on the rickety bus, rocking back and forth, cursing every time he hit his head on the window. Wishing he was anywhere but his current place, he grumbled quietly to himself.
It all started when an assembly was held at his high school, with the principal suggesting an idea.

~Flash Back~

He sat in his seat, waiting for the principal to come, when the man appeared at the front.
The principal, Mr. Suoh said, "The district is having a new idea, which we are going to incorporate into our curriculum. Your class was lucky to have this first. All the Sophomores are going on a camping trip for two weeks. I know this may seem strange, but allow me to explain. Our district is using this as a physical education unit and a Natural Sciences unit as well. We are having all the Sophomores divided into groups of five, but up to seven may be allowed. The teachers are having the children divided, not on request, but with a personality test of some sort, where the most compatible, and sometimes, least compatible students will be grouped together. You may not always get the group you want in life, and now is an opportunity to learn that. The groups are going to be of mostly the same gender, but some will have to be of a different gender. I'm trusting you all with this. The basic supplies you will be receiving are going to be a journal, and a pack of pens, because documenting everything is a requirement and worth the final grade as well. Electronics are prohibited. You will also receive a compass, a first aid kit, a guidebook of do's and don'ts, a walkie talkie to contact teachers, and some basic lighters and such. This trip starts next Tuesday, so please take this permission slip with details enclosed and have your guardians sign it, ok?"
The principal smiled, and stepped off the stage, and the crowd began to mutter amongst themselves as Ciel groaned internally.

Later that night, as he tried to avoid Sebastian, his adoptive father, he was caught at the doorstep, and Sebastian smiled, saying he already knew about the trip, and Ciel was already packed. Ciel knew it, he was dead. And oh, how right was he.
Because on this trip, was his ex-best friend from middle school, Alois Trancy. He'd be on this trip with his classmates William, Grell, Soma and Agni. And the dreadful blonde. And oh, how fun it would be.

~End Flash Back~

And that brings us to present day. Ciel's group was made to exit the bus as fast as possible, and it drove off leaving them in the dust. After following the marked red path, they arrived at their clearing, with the group's number 24 marked on the ground. They all unpacked without words, which was surprising, and then they decided to sleep. It had been a long and hard bus drive, and they were all exhausted.

The boys broke into their sleeping groups, Ciel with Soma and Agni, and Alois with Grell and William, and started to set up their tents. Ciel explained that one should be facing the woods that started a dozen yards from the clearing, and the other facing the path they had came from.

"And why should we do that?" Alois asked, hands on his hips. "Just so us three can have a better chance at being mauled at night, while you three have a getaway path basically in front of you? I don't think so. The tents will be facing each other." He finished matter-of-factly, getting the front of his tent and situating the opening flap towards the other tent.

Ciel rolled his eyes. "This is a school-based trip, Trancy. I don't think they'd send us where anything can maul us."

"Whatever. If you want us to do it your way, you face the woods."

"I don't want to."

"Oh, so just because princess over here doesn't want to, we automatically have to?" Alois scoffed, crossing his arms. "I'm not doing it."

"Why are you being so difficult?"

"Maybe because I don't want to die?"

"Hey, guys!" Soma called. Both boys turned their head to see that the rest of their group had finished setting up around them, and they were already situated and dozing in their tents. They weren't sitting either way the boys had wanted them to, but both tents facing the path, side by side. "You could come join us any day now." He smiled at the two of them before slipping back in the tent besides Agni. Ciel huffed, stomping over and collecting the stuff that they had left outside. He was crawling into his tent when he felt something hard hit the side of his face. He turned to see the journal he was supposed to write in for school credit.

"You forgot something, princess!" Alois snickered as he entered his tent. Ciel grumbled as he got situated for the night.

How would he ever make it through these two weeks?

This ones kind of short, give us a break.

So for this one, Asami wrote most of it, and I just wrote the setting up the tents part. Usually it's going to be where one person writes the chapter and the other edits it.

Just an explanation if you didn't know already :P

ANYWAYS, did you like it so far? Make sure to leave a review! That'd make both of us very happy~

And make sure to Check Asami. Clam out! Yeah, you should go do that.

Until next time, Darlings!
