Ciel`s P.O.V

"Ciel wake up." My so-called stepdad said as he shook me awoke. He sighed and moved away to open the curtains. After the fire that led to my parent`s death, Sebastian adopted me to be his son. "You`re going to be late for school, now wake up!" Stirring slightly I pulled the sheets over my head. "I`m not going anyways, so leave me alone." I said. Suddenly I felt the sheets being yanked off of me. "SEBASTIAN!" he just frowned. "And may I ask why you are staying home and not going to school?" I swung my legs over the side of the bed and glared at him. "It`s a waste of time." Sebastian looked shocked. "How could you say that Ciel? School is the most important part of a child`s life and without it you would be nowhere. A decent education is the best wa-," I interrupted "Fine. I`ll go if it`ll get you to shut up." He seemed satisfied with this and walked out of my room. Reluctantly I got up and took a shower. Picking out a simple black shirt with jeans I grabbed my stuff and walked downstairs. Breakfast was already on the table and Sebastian was nowhere in sight. 'He went to work that fast? That means he took the car. Great, now I'm walking to school.' Angry and tired, I ignored the food and slammed the front door as I left. This was going to be a long day.

I surprisingly arrived five minutes early. Enough time for my friend Alois to catch up with me. "CIEL." He yelled as he ran up to me. He grabbed my arm and stopped me dead in my tracks. The first thing I noticed about him was the dark bruise on his cheek. "Alois, what happened?" I asked brushing my finger against it. He flinched and stepped back, letting go of my arm. "I-It`s nothing. Don't worry about it, I'm fine." He said smiling. Even though he acted as if it was nothing I knew how he got it. It was Alois`s adopted father Claude. "It`s not nothing Alois. You can't keep living like this. Why won`t you go and tell somebody?" His smiled faltered a little but it was unnoticeable. "I don't want to bother anyone with my own problems at home so I'll just take care of them by myself. Even if I did tell someone, the probably wouldn't believe me. I mean come on Ciel. My father is a missionary." Unfortunately he was right but that didn't make this situation any better. "I deserved it anyways Ciel." He added. I stared at him for a minute before I spoke. "And what did you do to deserve it?" I asked

"I snuck out in the middle of the night." Alois glanced at the clock and shifted uncomfortably. "We should get going. The bell is almost about to ring." I wasn't listening to him but remembering the night before last when he came over and ended up staying the night. "You mean the night when you came over to my house?" Alois nodded as the flashbacks came back to me.

Sebastian had just gone to bed and Ciel was flipping through the channels, looking for something to watch. After a full minute of doing this he got frustrated and turned it off. He stood up and headed for the stairs. 'Whatever, I'll just go to bed. It`s late anyways.' Ciel was almost passed the first step when the doorbell rang throughout the house. 'Who would come and visit this late at night.' He walked over to the door and opened it. Alois was there with a big smile on his face. Before he could react, Ciel was trapped in a tight embrace by the blond boy. "A-Alois? What are you doing here? It`s midnight." Alois broke away and let himself in. He sat in the same spot that Ciel was sitting in a few seconds ago. "I had to get away from it. Sorry for coming at a late hour, but I had to wait till father was sleep." Ciel wondered what "it" meant but he let the subject drop. "Alois I was about to go to bed. What are you goi-." Alois interrupted him. His face suddenly turned serious as he looked Ciel in the eyes. "So what do you want me to do? Got back home and risk being caught?" Ciel stopped and thought about what Alois had just said. "Of course not, you know that. You can stay as long as you want." He got up from the couch and hugged Ciel once again, smiling. "Thank you Ciel." Ciel smiled and tried to break away. "Okay, okay but you're sleeping in the guest room. Come on let me show it to you." He grabbed the boys hand and led him upstairs. They got to the last door on the right and Ciel unlocked it with the extra key Sebastian gave him. The door swung open as Alois walked in the room. "It`s amazing. Better than mine at home." Ciel had never seen Alois`s house nor bedroom, mainly because his father would get mad, so he couldn`t compare. "Yeah well, that's what friends are for." Alois looked at him with those same cute childish look on his face. "We`re not just friend. We`re best friends." Ciel couldn't help but laugh at this and walk out the room. He headed to his room and fell asleep once his head touched the pillow.

"Alois, why did you come over to my house that night if you knew what was going to happen? Don't get yourself hurt trying to visit me." I said. He shrugged and leaned against the locker. "I wanted to visit you. I always get what I want no matter what the consequences are." I was shocked by his mood change but quickly remember that I was speaking to Alois. The bell rang stopping my next words completely. Alois straightened himself and started running the other way. "Don't Worry Ciel. We Can Finish Talking About It At Lunch." He yelled over his shoulder. Sighing I walked into my first class and sat in the desk at the far corner in the classroom. Like I expected Lizzie sat right beside me. This irked me but I didn't let it show. All she did anyways was talk about anything and everything all throughout class and I hated it. "Ciel! HOW ARE YOU? IT`S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. I MISSED YOU OVER THE WEEKEND." She continued to babble about nonsense as I blocked her out and tried to concentrate on the lesson. Halfway through the lesson Lizze actually said something that caught my attention. "-Trancy needs to leave. He is nothing but trouble. So Alicia said 'If only he could die somewhere and never have to be in our lives again'. We all laughed and went to lunch. This day they were serving tuna sandwiches." She took a breath but before she could start back talking I spoke. "I'm sorry Lizzie but could you please repeat that last story about Alois Trancy?"
