Hey guys so just for you I did some more digging and searching around in my laptop and found chapter two :DDD. I thought this chapter might help you guys understand the actual plot to this story and that there actually is no decided pairing yet when it comes to who Ciel ends up with since ch 1 was so heavily AloisxCiel oriented (mostly because it was all from Alois's perspective). Please please please review you guys. This story has already gotten so many views but only one review so idk if you guys don't like it or if you're just lazy. I really want to know if I should continue this story because I have some really good ideas and also tell me what pairing you want or if you don't care. Again, this is my writing from two years ago so I'm sorry that it's not very good. Thanks so much! 3


Ciel Phantomhive was not a patient boy, especially not for silly things like high school and crazy teachers, but he managed to control his temper and wait all weekend for the audition results. The stupid teacher, Madame Red (She made them call her Madame for whatever reason), wouldn't even tell them what play they were auditioning for so he found himself kind of anxious as he walked through his school to the fine arts hall where the list was posted. He wasn't sure why he was so nervous but he managed to look unfazed as he walked through the halls. Probably because he had promised himself he wouldn't drop out of this play. He knew that whatever role he got was picked just for him and he was the best who could play it. Whether it was soldier B or the lead he would stick with it because he never bailed like that. He made a promise and a commitment when he auditioned that he would not go back on.

He kept his earphones in even though he wasn't actually listening to music at the moment. Usually it calmed him down but he didn't want to be calmed down right now, he just wanted this to be over with.

Finally he approached the bulletin board on the wall across from the theater room. He was early so there was no one there and he was actually surprised that the list was already posted. He guessed Madame Red was pretty crazy.

He looked down and smoothed out his blue t-shirt and rolled up the white sleeves of the long sleeve shirt he was wearing under it. There was something stuck to his high tops so he rubbed it off and onto the floor and then wiped invisible lint from his black jeans. It took him a second to realize what he was doing and he mentally scolded him for being such a wuss.

"Pull yourself together Ciel. It's just a part in some stupid high school play." He told himself. But something in his gut told him that he should be very scared of what awaited him.

He shook his head and finally and hesitantly looked up at the list. He found himself subconsciously getting up on his tippy-toes to get a better view before he finally made out the words in bold at the top.

Hell no.

He quickly searched down the page to see if his name was anywhere and, to his dismay, it was. Second from the top.

Fuck.

The all mighty, great Ciel Phantomhive was playing Gabriella Montez in High School Musical.

Fuck.

He let his head sink into his hands as he thought about what he had just gotten himself into. He couldn't bail, not after he promised. But it's not like he told anyone. No, he wouldn't do that. He was a man of his word and he should have expected the worst when he made the decision to audition. But he had honestly not seen this one coming. He groaned when suddenly a thought hit him.

'Wait a second, if I'm playing the lead female role then who's playing…' he let his thoughts trail off as he raised his head to glance once more at the list and let his gaze travel up to the top of the paper.

"Oh fuck no." he said out loud.

"I was about to say the same thing."

He spun around to see Sebastian Michaelis standing behind him and staring at the list over Ciel's head. Sebastian was quarterback of the football team, A Honor Roll student, popular, any girl's dream guy, and playing Troy Bolton as the male lead in the school play.

"I'm guessing your Ciel," he said, looking down at said boy.

"Yes, and you?" He asked even though he was fully aware of who the man was. Sebastian raised a dark eyebrow at the boy, probably never being asked such a question before in his life, but compelled anyway.

"Why of course. I am Sebastian Michaelis, your leading man." He said, placing a hand over his chest and giving a slight nod of his head with a smirk.

"Yes, well not for long. I'm ordering you to quit the play." Ciel commanded. The man once again raised an eyebrow at the boy's words. No one ever talked to him like this before. Even his step-brother Claude knew that Sebastian had more authority than to be spoken to this way.

"What a bratty child you are." He said a little frustrated with the boy.

"I'm not a child!" the blue-haired boy exclaimed. It was obviously a day to day problem for him.

Sebastian ignored his banter and once again glanced at the list to find what spot his step-brother landed. He smirked when he saw it and realized that he had actually gotten the better end of the stick on this one then Claude.

"Don't worry; this isn't a big surprise considering Madame Red. She almost has a fetish for boys in drag. Most of the freshman have to go through it and worse so don't think for a second that I'm quitting. It's just acting. You're really over thinking it." Sebastian stated.

Ciel was about to respond with his own argument but realized that the dark haired man was already walking away.

"Hey!" He called to stop him but was cut off by a big mass of blonde pouncing on him.

"Oh my God! Ciel! I saw the whole thing! Oh my God you are so lucky! I can't believe you get to play Sebastian's romantic interest!" Alois beamed from where he sat on top of his friend.

"Get the hell off me, Alois." Ciel barked. He really was in no mood for the blonde's chirpy mood. The other boy obeyed and got off the younger boy, helping him up and mumbling a "sorry."

"Listen, Alois. I hate that man and I don't want anything to do with him but I'm not going to quit this play. I made a commitment to it that I am not going back on so just shut your bloody mouth and leave me the hell alone." Ciel said the whole thing completely calmly like the disciplined boy he was. Then he put in his earphones, volume full blast, and walked away.

Most people would be insulted but Alois knew Ciel better. He just needed some time to cool off and then he'd be back to his cold, anti-social self.

The blonde boy sighed and turned to the list. He scanned through the lines and his eyes went wide as he read his own name.

No fucking way.

All thoughts of Ciel had suddenly left the boy's mind as his daydreaming began. He practically skipped down the halls for the rest of the day, ecstatic about the wonderful news. He knew how sad the musical was making his friend but it was making him the happiest boy alive. He was so excited for rehearsals to start that he could barely contain himself.

He, Alois Trancy, had obtained the roll of Sharpay Evans and her brother, Ryan Evans, was being played my none other than Claude Faustus.


That day after school, everyone met up in the theater room to receive their scripts and other orders and to just over all mingle with each other. There were a lot more people involved in the play then Ciel expected but he still sat in the corner by himself, reviewing the script. He had to crank his music up really loud just to block out everyone's ridiculous chatter but he didn't mind. The parts were attached to the script and Ciel glanced over them in curiosity. Alois had gotten Sharpay with Claude as Ryan so he must be happy at least. Lizzy was an extra which didn't surprise him at all. She can't sing to save her life but he knew her dancing from cheerleading would be good enough to land her something. Soma got Chad which Ciel thought was kind of racist but ignored it and saw that an upper classmen named Mey-Rin had gotten Taylor. That would be interesting seeing as Soma was as gay as a rainbow and completely awkward around girls.

Ciel had to contain his laugh when he saw that Hannah, the beautiful, popular, head cheerleader, had landed the part of Martha. She was a senior and still couldn't manage a lead role. How pathetic. All the circus kids that Alois had told him about had gotten extras which made sense since they could probably dance very well. One girl, though, got the part of Kelsey, the pianist. Ciel wasn't sure who it was since they all used nicknames so it only said 'Doll.'

Cantebury, Thompson, and Timber, or the 'emo kids' as Alois called them, got the parts of Zeke, Jason, and an understudy. It wasn't distinguished exactly which triplet got which part but was written exactly like that. As if they themselves would have to figure out who would actually participate in the play. That pissed Ciel off plenty and he was already starting to get annoyed with this teacher who was late by the way.

Ciel was suddenly uninterested in everyone else's parts and instead leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He decided to just concentrate on his music for some relaxing moments before a silence pushed him to leave that world. He opened his eyes and pulled out his headphones in just enough time to witness the entrance of the crazy theater teacher. She was dressed in a fire engine red dress that matched her odd haircut and piercing red eyes. She strutted to the front of the room with a huge grin across her face like she owned the school before introducing herself.

"Hello, my young pupils." She greeted, her voice loud and clear. "I am Madame Red to those of you who don't know me, and welcome to the theater department."

Ciel felt someone elbow him and he turned to see that Alois and the rest of his friends had pulled up chairs to sit around him when he wasn't paying attention. Alois was waving a finger around his ear and mouthing the word "crazy." Ciel slapped his hand away before the teacher saw and directed his attention back to the front of the room.

"I am sure you are all aware that the musical we will be performing this year is High School Musical which is a famous Disney Channel movie so I expect you to not use that as a guideline to your performance. I want this to be a new and original take on it so work hard. We will be having cast rehearsal every day after school from four to six except for Wednesday if you have a main role. Extras and smaller parts will only have to come to rehearsal Thursday and Friday after school. Crew meets Thursday and Friday mornings at seven and comes for after school Friday rehearsal. The musical will be from December 17th to the 22nd. The exact times are still to be announced. Rehearsals start next week so I expect you to brush up on your lines and prepare yourself for rigorous work. Any questions?"

No one dared to raise their hands.

"Good. If you need anything please talk to me either in the morning or after rehearsal or ask our club's president, Sebastian Michaelis, or vice president, Claude Faustus. Have a nice day." And then, with a wave and a slight nod, she left.

There was a silence hanging in the room, everyone a little overwhelmed, and Ciel suddenly realized what he had gotten himself into. The happy chatter was gone and everyone just sat there, staring.

Sebastian, who had been standing in the opposite corner of the room decided to make his appearance and replace Madame Red at the front of the room.

"I hope you understand how serious we are about this musical. If you think it's silly or don't want to work hard please leave now." There was a pause and his eyes met with Ciel's who didn't let his bored expression shake under his elder's gaze. Sebastian broke the glare and cleared his throat to continue. "Good. Meeting dismissed." With that, he left, his step-brother trailing behind him.

Conversation slowly started to fill the room and Ciel looked over at Alois's startled expression. When the blonde noticed Ciel's stare, he replaced it with a smile and started to tease the younger boy again.

"What? Are you scared or something now?" he mocked, nudging Ciel with his elbow.

"No." Ciel answered firmly.

"Really, well, have you taken the time to look through the script yet?" He asked.

"Yes, but just the beginning. Why?" The younger boy questioned.

"You and Sebastian have a kiss scene at the end. Won't that be interesting?" He stated, getting up from his chair. Most of the kids had filed out by now and there were only a couple still lingering around, immersed in their own conversations.

"What?!" Ciel exclaimed, quickly flipping through the script and earning a few glances. "That didn't happen in the movie!"

"Yeah, well Madame Red changed it." The blonde stated. Ciel glared at him. "Cheer up, Ciel. Think about it, you get to kiss the hottest guy in school. That's every girl's dream."

"Yeah, every girl's dream." He said, standing up to be at eye level with his friend but then remembered he was the shorter one here. He didn't let it get to him, though, and continued. "I'm not a girl, Alois, and I'm definitely not gay."

A pained expression crossed the blonde's face at that last part but Ciel didn't care enough. Instead he reached over to grab his backpack from the floor and stomped out of the room.

This musical was going to suck.


Claude hated a lot of things. He hated things that everyone else expected him to like. He hated his brother, Sebastian, his girlfriend, Hannah, and every single other being in the world. He hated the idiotic concept of the public school system, football, and theater. He hated anyone better than him and stupid people. All in all, Claude was pissed off most of the time, but he didn't mind because the aura it produced scared most people away. So, you could imagine his shock when he found another being that wasn't completely appalling to him.

It happened during lunch. Claude was in an extra pissy mood that morning from Sebastian hogging the bathroom and, as a result, neglected to pack his lunch for that day. So, he was forced to buy the revolting cafeteria food. After placing together a well-balanced plate, he decided to grab an extra sweet to shake things up a little, and that's when it happened. As he reached for the last slice of cheesecake, his hand collided with someone else's, also reaching for the same piece. He ignored it, and grabbed onto the plate, knowing when the person realized who it was they were competing with, they would pull away. But the hand latched on and took the cake for themselves which shocked Claude.

"What the…?" Claude muttered, astonished, as he faced the other person.

It was a small boy who looked like he belonged in the elementary school. He had dull blue bangs that covered the most gorgeous bright blue eyes, framed in dark eyelashes. There were also some other stunning features on the boy that Claude noticed but he couldn't concentrate on anything other than those eyes. For the first time in his life, Claude was at a loss for words.

Oblivious to Claude's behavior, the boy added the cake to the pile of sweets he had already accumulated and moved to pay for his food. Claude watched him the whole way until the boy was sitting alone at a table before he realized it was his turn in line. He quickly paid for his food and rushed over to his table where Sebastian was sitting alone. It was still early in the lunch period so there weren't many people there yet.

"Sebastian." Was all he could manage to spit out.

"Yes?" His step-brother answered, raising an eyebrow at Claude's unnatural behavior.

"Who… is that?" He asked, pointing towards the boy's table.

"Claude, you can't just point into a crowd of people and expect me to know who you're talking about." Sebastian stated, annoyed at how vague his brother was.

"He's sitting at a table alone, listening to music, eating a bunch of sweets, and has blue hair and eyes." Claude listed as he observed the boy from across the room. Sebastian's eyes widened as he saw Ciel fitting the description but held the expression well from his step-brother.

"Ah, yes. That is Ciel Phantomhive, a freshman who got the lead role in the musical." He answered, a slight smirk bleeding through his exterior.

"But I thought you had the lead role." Claude questioned.

"Yes, I have the male lead." Sebastian stated, rubbing it in a little. "But Ciel has the female lead."

If Claude had been drinking something he would've spit it out at that moment.

"What?!"

"What?"

Both boys looked up to see Grell Sutcliffe leaning on their table, trying to get a bit of the conversation.

"Honestly Grell, can't you make your own friends." Sebastian asked, rubbing his temples.

"Aw, don't be so mean Sebby. You guys are my friends!" Grell stated, striking a pose. Sebastian was about to kick him square in the crotch but was beat to it by a stunning William T. Spears.

"How kind of you to join us, Spears." Claude greeted.

He nodded, before sitting down on the opposite end of the round table. Grell on the other hand, plopped down right next to Sebastian and latched onto his arm.

"Get off of me." He ordered.

"That is no way to speak to a lady!" The red-headed yelled but complied anyway. They all just rolled their eyes at his weird ways.

"Hey you guys!"

At that moment a young Ronald Knox decided to join the group by taking the seat between Grell and Will at the circular table. He was one of the only people in their group who could actually stand Grell seeing as he was the only man that the red-head magically showed no romantic attraction towards at all. The group as a whole was a pretty weird bunch but there were two factors that brought them together. One was the fact that they were all insanely popular in there grade. Sebastian and Claude were most popular in the whole school and seniors, Will was the most popular junior in his grade, Grell was a family friend of Will's that always followed them around, and Ronald was the most popular Sophomore and the youngest of the group. They hadn't had a chance to recruit a freshman yet and probably weren't unless Will decided to do it based on the tradition of the group. The other aspect that held them together was their hatred towards everything and monotone personalities. The only ones who didn't fit that were Grell, who doesn't count, and Ron, who their still not exactly sure how he's still around.

They didn't hang out on the weekends or after school and they didn't pick each other for group projects or go to each other for help or support. They basically just used each other for their own personal gain and to have someone to sit with at lunch. Still, they had a mutual respect for one another and were aware of where they stood in the food chain. All in all, conversation was usually boring but things worked out so they kept coming back together.

At that moment Sebastian noticed a group approaching Ciel's table. They were all much perkier than him and tackled him on site. A blonde girl took the seat to Ciel's right and started running her mouth while a blonde boy and an Indian boy fought for the seat to his left. Sebastian was surprised to see Ciel had such loyal friends but chuckled when he noticed the blue-haired boy completely ignoring them and even turning up his music.

The silence hanging at his table brought Sebastian's attention back to his own life and he decided to use this opportunity to taunt his step-brother a little.

"So, how did you two do in your auditions?" he asked Grell and Will since Ronald didn't want to audition.

"Oh, just awful!" Grell immediately began speaking. "You would think that after being such good friends with the Madame I would at least land a decent role. I practically helped her pick the musical this year! But, no, I have to play that inferior old hag of a theater teacher, Mrs. Darbus. Ugh that will not look good at all!"

"And you, Spears?" Sebastian asked, completely ignoring Grell's rant.

He opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by the red-head.

"Oh, I pulled a couple strings for William to get the role of Coach Bolton. That way we would have scenes together, and get to play off each other, and just make it wonderful." There were hearts in his eyes when he finished.

"I heard you got the lead role, Sebastian." Will stated.

"Yes, I did. And a freshman got the female lead."

"What?! Who?!" Grell probed.

Sebastian glanced at his step-brother with a smirk before pointing to Ciel across the room. "He's the introverted blue-haired boy sitting at the loud table over there." He added to be clearer.

The whole table directed their glances towards the oblivious Ciel, picking up a strawberry from his cheesecake to shove into his mouth.

"What?! You're kissing him?!" Grell boomed, grabbing onto Sebastian's collar.

"You're kissing him?" Claude asked from next to him.

Sebastian couldn't help when another smirk leaked onto his face.

"Yes, I am."


Please review and tell me what you think! It really means a lot :D
