Cirque du démon
Chapter 1
Ciel Phantomhive sat in his social studies class with his head on his desk not bothering to pay attention to what his teacher was saying as he felt school was utterly pointless, instead he found himself drawn to stare out the window and look at the snow covered parking lot wishing time would go faster so he could go home and just be done for the day. Ciel slowly picked his head of the desk and let his eyes wander around the room looking at all the "motivational" posters that were on the walls, he could only roll his eyes 'Quite ridiculous and a waste of paper its not like a poster with a picture that has nothing to do with the quote will make me want to work harder' he thought, eventually his dark blue eyes looked at the clock noticing there was only 5 minuets left of class, he let out a sigh of relief and put his head back down letting himself gaze back out the window watching as the snow slowly fell from the sky.
The bell rang and Ciel quickly gathered his things and rushed out the door so he wouldn't get stuck in the crowded hallways, he quickly made his way to his locker to find that his best friend was already waiting for him wearing that ridiculous grin that he only wore when he had questions,
"Sooo tomorrows the big day! What do you want for your birthday?" Alois asked in the most cheerful voice possible
"Its really not that important Alois, Its just another day to me to be completely honest with you" he replied
" You did not just say that...Another day not important! Ciel you're turning 18 tomorrow is the day that you officially become an adult, it also has its luxuries you can smoke, get into clubs and you can finally watch porn without lying about you age!" The blond said with a smile.
The comment got the blond a smack to the back of the head and his smile quickly faded only to be replaced with a frown
"Stop making that face it makes you look even uglier then you already are,"
",You know Ciel your words hurt sometimes but if you answer my question I will forget about the love tap and the insult, now tell me what it is that you want for your birthday!" Alois said
" Well if you must know what I really want I'd like for my birthday is better grades so I don't have to listen to my father tonight." Ciel said with a sigh knowing he had it coming once he got home and his family sat down at dinner.
"You know I can't do that, how bad are they anyways?" the blond asked as the bluenette handed him the sheet of paper as they walked down the almost empty hallway, light blue eyes widened as he skimmed through the low grades feeling bad for his friend knowing exactly how his friends father was going to react
"Phantomhive, Vincent is going to murder you, you know that right?" Alois stated offering a small smile
The younger male let out an annoyed sigh his anxiety was already high enough and Alois wasn't making it any better, Ciel couldn't do anything about his low grades now and its not like he could hide it from his parents they knew when each report card came out down to a 'T' he quickly snatched the report card out of his friends hands as they reached their cars.
"I know that my parents are going to be upset, plus I'm still not in my fathers good graces yet he's still not to happy about me liking boys," Ciel opened the door to his car ", I'm going to head home wish me luck." he said as he go into his car and started it waving to his friend, before he could pull out his friend tapped on the window which Ciel reluctantly rolled down.
"You never did tell me what you wanted for your birthday" the blond said shoving his hands in his pockets shivering the winters in upstate New York we never pleasant and he hated the cold
"I know, that's because I don't know what I want and to be honest I don't think there is anything that I want, I'll call you later Alois it's freezing and all my heat is leaving my car because I'm stuck talking to you" Ciel said with a smile he said his goodbye and quickly closed his window so his car would heat up. He pulled out of the parking lot dreading his drive home, he didn't want to listen to his parents yell at him and quite honestly he didn't know what to expect when he got home he just knew that it wasn't going to be good.
