Author's Note

Hello everyone! Thanks for choosing to read my FIRST fanfiction. This was actually inspired by this one (of the many) fan art of Ciel and Sebastian in school uniforms. ^^ I hope you can give me some critical reviews and help me improve and become a better writer so that I can keep writing fanfiction for you guys! I originally typed this story on my iPod Touch and, to my horror, paragraph and spacing is extremely different. Transferring from my iPod to the computer, I had to edit the lines and spacing. I tried my best to make it perfect, but if I did make some mistakes please tell me in the reviews. This will eventually have some graphic boyxboy situations which is why it is rated M. Please know that this story DOES have a plot and it is not just some PWP. So without further ado, enjoy! Love, Mei-Chan.

Prologue

"Did you hear about the new kid transferring?"

"It's the middle of October! Why didn't he just come at the beginning of the year? He's never going to make friends now."

"I heard at his old school, he burned it down. Even with all the students and teachers in it!"

"Ehh! I heard the same thing! And that his parents were among the teachers that died!"

"What a scary kid! I'm never going to talk to him!"

There it was. Ciel Phantomhive's reputation. Even though the poor boy had yet to take a step into the high school, his rep was already down the drain. Part of the rumours were true. His high school that he only attended for a few months did burn down with students, teachers, and even his parents, but he was not the one that set it on fire. The recently orphaned boy had just been taking in by his aunt to live with her and now he had to attend a new school. The Middleford high school experience would soon begin for Ciel Phantomhive.

Middleford High School
Chapter One

"Cieeel! Wake up already or you'll be late on the first day of your new school!"

Ciel blinked twice before rising and rubbing his eyes. Today would be the first day of attending the local high school at his aunt, Madam Red's, town ever since he had to move due to his parent's death.

"New school, huh?" Ciel thought, "Great, now I have to deal with those brats that go to this overly funded school who have no real interest in learning but only attend to flaunt off their affluence and popularity."

He dressed himself in the school uniform. Olive-colored plaid capris, a white polo with the Middleford emblem on the top left side and, to top it all off, a silk olive ribbon to be tied around the collar. Ciel trudged down the stairs in his uniform and greeted Madam Red cooking breakfast, this was a suprise. As he sat down at the table, Madam Red placed a piece of toast, bacon, and an omelette down which would have an a nice breakfast, except for that fact that all the items were completely burnt and charred black.

"Since it's such a special ocassion I thought I'd make you a power meal so you can be fully energized for your first day of class!"Ciel winced before taking the dark toast (it looked the least hazardous to his health) and picking up his backpack. Since Madam Red had to leave soon to work at her clinic, she could not take him to school so he would be walking.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to school?" she asked for the hundredth time. "It really won't matter that much if I'm a little late.."

"It's alright, I like walking anyway" Ciel said before reaching out for the doorknob.

"Wait Ciel!" Madam Red rose down to Ciels eye level and fixed his crooked ribbon. "To think you'd still need help to dress yourself.." she said with tears gathering in the corners of her eyes.

"Madam Red?"

"Ciel, your parents would be so proud of you today, looking so cute in your uniform and going off to a new school. They're looking down from heaven with smiles and best wishes for you so you be sure to make them proud, ok?" She said with hands on his shoulders.

"Alright, I will." Ciel said with a smile on his face as he stepped out the door and walked down the driveway.

His smile then dissapeared. He didn't believe in heaven.
