Nobody knows anything with any certainty, and that is the only thing we can be sure of. However, this doesn't mean people won't try to find answers, or that they will stop believing what they found out is true, after all, none of us can possibly know the truth. Some people believe there is a God and that only Him knows the answers to everything. Others, prefer to believe there is Someone or Something watching over us, but they don't know if it's a God, a Spirit, some sort of Energy, or what it actually is; and there is also a group who think human beings create the need to believe in something bigger than us because that is what gives them the strenght to carry on.
Nevertheless, there are also those who could care less about this things, for the only truth worth knowing is the one told by those who are important to them...

CHAPTER 1:
OUT OF THIS WORLD.
::::+ ::::+
I sat on my favorite bench in the park. It was the first day of Autumn and the leaves were already crumped in piles of gold and ocre. People all around me were walking dressed in suits, obviously heading back to work after a quick business lunch. Old ladies fed the pidgeons while small children played.
There was a reason why said bench was my favorite. From there, nothing was hidden from your view, and yet, you could be sitting so quietly nobody would notice you. It was the perfect place to read, write, or just relax after a long day at school.
Like I said, a lot of people hummed their way through the park, some staying, some just passing by. Still, there were two who caught my attention...
I knew them both quite well since the two of them were in my class. They were the best friends this world had ever seen, in fact, I don't think anyone knew Ciel Phantomhive better than Sebastian Michaelis, or viceversa.
They had known each other since they were kids. I am not sure of how long though, for I met them three years ago when I changed schools. Still, it always fascinated me the way they were towards each other and the way they behave towards their classmates. I just guess everyone was accustumed by then though, because they had their own space, and it looked like everyone respected that. Once in a while, someone (most probably one of the girls) would ask Sebastian for help in a subject, something that the black haired teen would get done as quickly as the question was arised. Other times, it'd be a boy who'd tease them for being always together, but no one actually messed with them.
I remember that day, I mean, my first day at this new school pretty well. I went to the headmaster's office and he kindly guided me through the school's building until we reached what would be my new class. I patiently waited while he talked to my new teacher and classmates-to-be, telling them who I was where I was from and that he wanted me to feel more than welcomed. At last, the door opened to reveal me my new 'second home'.
It was a nice room, not as big as the one I shared at my other school, but big enough to accomodate all of us comfortably. The chalkboard occupied the same wall as where the door was located, and in front of where I was standing (being that at the entrance), two rows of benches stood. Well, they weren't exactly rows like you would expect but more of 'U'-form ones, one bigger at the back and a smaller in the front. On the back wall, right on the left corner, you could see a big window with thick green curtains. I didn't really count, but it seem that there were already twenty students or so.
I took my seat on the back row, at the corner right next to the chalkboard and opposite the wall next to the door, where two peculiar students sat. It wasn't like any of them wasn't peculiar. In fact, all of my new classmates were in one way or another, after all, they were all new to me and therefore peculiar; but unlike the rest, these two were... unique. The one in the corner, right next to the door had jet black hair and piercing red eyes, 'contact lenses perhaps?', and was slightly taller than his companion, a boy with bluish hair and ocean blue eyes. It was fascinating, the way they seem to be out of the place, out of the world, and still, be a part of everything.
While the blue-eyed boy talked, about God only knows what, the raven would just let his body rest nonchalantly on his desk and look up at him, smiling, with his gaze filled with emotion, and the other would just blush lightly, almost imperceptibly, as the taller of them would chuckle slightly. It was obvious to me then, that these two were more than just friends, best friends to say the least...
Needless to say, it took me less than months to realize that actually, I was more than right. Although no-one seemed to notice, Sebastian (the black haired boy) and Ciel (the blue-eyed) were more, much more, than mere friends.
They were special. Special because they shared a bond most humans can only dream of, and special because it didn't mattered to them if people noticed or not, if people cared for them or not, for the only thing their world needed to survive was each other, and each other was all they needed to have.
It was on a quiet afternoon like this one, three years ago, that I saw them walking together, down the path which led into the park. Leaves were falling off the trees and it had been thirty or fourty minutes ago that I had finally found the perfect bench. I would've greeted them eagerly if it hadn't been for one thing, a small detail I should have failed to see due to being extremely farsighted (almost as much as Meylin, another girl from the class), but that for some reason, I didn't miss. They were holding hands.
I've never been one to reject people for their preferences. Love is just that, Love. Still, somehow it shocked me to see them. At that moment, something inside my head clicked. I had found what I thought it'd be the final piece of the jigsaw.
Sebastian and Ciel were special. Special because they were different. They were different because they were in love, and they could've cared less if a bomb had exploded right behind them, blowing the city up to smitherins.
What I hadn't realized though, was that the jigsaw was far from completing, and it wasn't until that day, that the three of us would realize that dreams are just dreams, that real life is cruel, and that there's just one way to get out of this world.
