Day 13
I am really really exhausted. Wanna know why? The most horrible event of the school year-sports day. We have been marching continuously for one hour every morning. Which idiot invented March past anyway? It's just bringing pain, torture, exhaustion all together in the sun. God, it makes me so tired. So my geography test went well I got full marks, so yay! But my math test sucks rocks, big black rocks. I got a one, out of fifteen! And people like Grey got fourteen and a half! Even Finian beat me! He got twelve anyway math hates me and I hate it. It's a mutual hate-hate relationship anyway my mom is going to find someone who can help me in math. I seem to be doing well in chemistry though. My teacher seems impressed, even in physics. Oh speaking of teachers our class teacher decided to implement student of the month. As in the best student gets a gift for being a model student. The last ten is the first batch. Sadly he discussed this with the principal who felt that this was a "Great idea but it feels as though you are bribing children." So now all we get is our picture with the reasons why that person became student of the month. What are we? Employees in a fast food joint? This is what I asked the people around me. Then one girl told Grey this and he jumps and exclaims "We think alike that is so awesome!" thankfully (or maybe regrettably?)she told Grey that I was the one who thought of this and face literally fell. He said the same thing to me but with way less enthusiasm like a deflated balloon. I just smirked and said " Yeah but don't worry even I am disgusted with the fact that I think like you." I walked away. Gross I do not want to think like Grey. I would rather think like Elisabeth. Anyway i was just getting into my new routine and then BAM I get a cold so I did not go to school for three whole days that's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! The bad part is that my dad got two free Coke cans in the fridge just waiting to be drunk by me, and here I am, sick with a sore throat, nose block and cough. Sad I know. This is why I have not written in a while.
Sebastian came over and told me that a ginger honey pepper concoction should make me feel better. I told him that I was immune to that since I get colds really often. He then asked whether I wished to keep Mr. Fluffykins until I felt better I politely declined as I fear for the life of Mr. Hopples. We spent the day playing random board games and chatting. Eventually we started talking about how it would have been if we were ever in the 1800s. I said I would have probably been someone important. Maybe I would have dabbled in witchcraft or the occult. Those kinds of things fascinate me. Sebastian said he would have been my butler then because it would be fun to see me miserably fail in things like that. I said it would be weird to have him as my butler. "Why not Ciel? Imagination lets us escape into magical worlds just close your eyes and think." and I did that. When I opened them I found Sebastian with my medicine in a tray and saying "your medicine my lord." in a weird manner and we both started laughing. Then he had to leave because his cousin was coming to stay with him. He said "I am 27 and I still have no social life except for Claude and my neighbour's kid." he then left me to my own devices. I sat there and imagined myself anywhere in the world and generally did a lot of thinking. I once read in a ghost info mania that you could have an out of body experience by visualising that you are flying.
Of course I had to catch up with school work. But whatever said and done I think my break from school was good. Sadly I did not get a single concerned call from anyone. Other than my family and Sebastian no one bothered to check up on me. I could have died and they would not have even known. Insensitive morons. I call them even though I would rather do something else when they're sick. Mum absolutely pampered me though but she does that every day. But I got extra attention since I was ill and I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy it. Yeah I guess I love my mum the most in this world probably it's because she understands me best.
The last two days in school went okay though. Even though I was absent I managed to catch up pretty well. But as always no one informs me of the test that's coming on Tuesday. Yes, there is a test on Tuesday the notes for which I still have not got. I found out only when school ended and the teacher with my annotations left. No " Hey Ciel these are the annotations for the test we have." they just expect me to suffer and how did I get to know of this? My mum. She was talking to some of the other mothers when Grey's mum was all like the test on Tuesday is so hard to study for. So mum was like what test? Ciel does not know of this. Grey's mum said quote" what for you? He's good at the subject anyway" unquote. She practically sneered it. Mum was all irritated at her. She didn't really like Grey's mum and was creped out when once mum wore this shirt and Grey's mum literarily pulled it up to see the label. Mum was shocked. So now I get my annotations on Monday and I study. That's okay.
Now for some shocking news. Elisabeth is going to come and probably stay over next week. ELISABETH! Now you must be wondering who she is. Well she is my family friend. My dad went to college with her dad and they are best buds. Yeah as a kid I used to hang out with her before we changed cities. We could have passed off for best friends. She was obsessed with cute things. But now I heard she's into fencing and stuff like that. Her brother (I did not get along with him.) Edward is now apparently in a punk-rock state. They'll probably arrive on the Friday before sports day and they shall have the joy to witness me March! How exciting! Note the sarcasm.
On another note next Thursday and Friday are the days when they selected participants from the houses shall compete. How is this affecting me? Well this means no classes for two whole days. Freedom. I am participating in...insert drumroll...Nothing! What did you expect? I run as fast as a snail, not kidding I am weak physically but mentally superior and I take pride in that fact. My turtle has been in my grandma's house for the past week so note: REMIND DAD TO GET MR. HOPPLES BACK. Oh man now my hand is aching guess this is it for today. I'll keep you posted.
