Chapter 1: The Orphanage for the Talented

Sebastian Michaelis sighed as he sat next to his best friend Agni on the bus. As a college student, Sebastian was the most popular student in the whole campus. He was desired by all the girls and was greatly respected for his name. But even a guy like him had to do community service to graduate.

Sebastian was excellent at academics and athletics but never in the four years at college have he done any community service. So now he was forced by the administration to look after orphans from the Victorian Orphanage.

He gave another audible sigh as he looked out the window with a small frown on his lips.

"Sebastian, it will be fine… It's just one week then you can graduate. But I still don't understand why you never did community service before…"

Sebastian gave a small smirk before he turned towards his friend and spoke arrogantly, "Let me explain Agni, I think that community service is useless. People just help others because they pity them. They just want to feel good about themselves for helping out. But do you think just a few days will actually improve peoples' lives? I don't think so."

"But it's a start isn't it?"

"A start? Do think a start will actually lead to more? Can someone prove that a person can go on further to help another from a mere start?"

With a small grunt Agni looked away from his best friend, sighing in defeat.

"Agni, I don't understand why you even bother. I always win in arguments" Sebastian informed his friend with a smirk.

"Fine look at it this way" Agni started as he again turned towards his friend, "No community service equals cannot graduate."

"Yeah I know" Sebastian waved his friend off, "But I just don't like the aspect of taking care of brats."

"Who's your partner again?"

Sebastian took out a crumbled piece of paper from his messenger bag and said, "Ciel Phantomhive…"

"What an odd name… Sounds old, well Michaelis sounds old as well."

"But I have a reason, it's been the name of my ancestors who owned a famous jewelry enterprise since the 80's…And this 'Ciel Phantomhive' is a parentless brat."

"Don't be rude Sebastian… You tease but you are never this rude."

"I just want to get this over with" Sebastian groaned as he threw his arms in the air.

"Oh, we are almost there."

XxXx

"Wake up Ciel…" the young boy heard a voice whisper in his ear. With a startled cry, Ciel sat up and glared at the boy who woke him up.

Alois gave him a mischievous smile as he announced, "Today the students from London University is coming so hurry up and change. Oh, and you are blushing."

With a groan, Ciel got up from the bed and started to change into the orphanage's uniform. The Victorian Orphanage had identical uniforms which were provided each of the children. The uniform consisted of red and black checkered shorts with white long-sleeved shirt and a dark blue coat. For the girls instead of shorts they wore skirts.

"Come on Ciel! We are almost late to breakfast and I heard that the University students will come during breakfast for the tour. But I wonder who my partner is…"

"Alois, are you actually looking forward to this?"

"Of course! You're not excited?" Alois exclaimed as he watched Ciel fix his sleep hair.

With a small frustrated sigh Ciel answered, "Of course not! I didn't participate last year but now they are forcing me to? I would rather stay here and read!"

"But Ciel, it's quite fun! I'm sure you will find it fun too!" Alois fumed as he grabbed Ciel's hand and dragged him out of the room towards the mess hall.

"Hmph, you just trouble your partner right?" Ciel grunted as he allowed Alois to drag him.

"Yup! The high school girl from last year quit by Wednesday. I wonder if her arm healed…"

"You really are sick" Ciel stated bitterly as he released himself from Alois's grasp.

"But you have to do this Ciel, the mistress insisted that you do so. Last year you stubbornly refused that the mistress gave up. But it seems like she is determined to have you join us."

"Tch…how bothersome." They soon arrived at the mess hall and found themselves to be the last ones to arrive. The both quietly sat down next to each other across from Soma, Elizabeth, and Finny.

"Good morning Ciel, Alois!" Soma greeted with his usual bright smile.

"Good morning!' Elizabeth and Finny cried in unison.

"Good morning" they both replied as they blankly stared at the food in front of them. The food consisted of two scones and a mug of tea. Despite the disheartening food, excitement was evident in the mess hall while the children chattered excitedly.

There were only ten orphans in the Victorian Orphanage. The Orphanage was directly sponsored by the Royal Family and took in only especially talented orphans from all over the country. Therefore the royal family will pay for the expenses to further the talents of those chosen children.

And every single year, students from different schools will get to know their assigned partners from the orphanage for a week. And the students are to take the children to assigned locations to make the child's day enjoyable. However Ciel knew that he wouldn't "enjoy" it.

Before the children could start eating, the headmistress Ms. Angela announced the rules to be followed during the visit of the students. Ciel did not listen as he nibbled his scone. Then with a small gesture of the headmistress's hand, the university students ushered into the hall. Ciel uninterestingly continued to nibble on his scones as excited mummers erupted all around him. Then after some time he looked up to find a pair of crimson eyes stare back at him. The student who was examining him was sinfully handsome with dark raven hair, masculine body, and beautifully structured face. But the way the student was looking at him unnerved him.

Ciel quickly turned away in hopes that the student will stop staring at him. But when he turned back, he found him still staring at him which unnerved Ciel even more.

Ciel hoped that the student with the raven locks will not be his partner for the week.

Sebastian gave a sigh for the umpteenth time as they were just finishing the tour. Sebastian found the orphanage more like a small elite boarding school rather than an orphanage. On his way here, he had heard that the Victorian Orphanage was different from the others and only brought in students who were talented. And Sebastian must admit that the orphanage was in very good shape with its highly wealthy architecture and furnishings.

The last destination was the dining room where all the children were. Since the students did not know what their partners looked like, the nervousness was evident. Some of the students heard rumors of a child from this orphanage that does "pranks" on the students. They even heard that one high school student broke an arm because of that child's "prank"…

Quickly the students were ushered inside the dining room. The large table was filled up with ten children of all shapes and sizes as they ate their breakfast. The students started examining the children who sat before them as they murmured amongst themselves.

Sebastian too briefly examined the table but one boy took his attention. Unlike all the other children, the boy looked uninterested about the whole situation as he nibbled onto his scone. He did not even look up to see the students.

Sebastian couldn't help but keep staring at the uninterested boy because the boy was indeed beautiful. The boy had bluish-grey locks which were disarrayed around his beautiful structured face. His skin was smooth and white like a porcelain doll.

Sebastian continued to stare at the child and smirked. Then the boy looked up to reveal his beautiful midnight blue eyes which sparkled from the lights of the cheap-looking chandeliers. The boy looked flustered when he realized that Sebastian was staring at him and looked away. This made Sebastian's smirk widen. Then he knew that he must have that boy as his partner for the week to come.
