A day had passed and Alois ran into school quickly. He was almost too late again – damn, how he hated that. But he loved sleeping… Out of breath he entered the small classroom, only to see everyone in the tiny space look up at him. Normally he didn't particularly care about having drawn all the attention to him, but this time it was different… And slightly annoying. He smiled though, and quickly sat down in an empty chair. The blond always sat next to other people, so being all alone now was quite weird for him. He leaned over to the person that was sitting before him, and peeked what subject they were having at the moment. Oh, it was history, another one of his most hated subjects in the world. Why would he care about dead people? That was so dumb, really. He leaned back, not even bothering to get his books out of his bag. The teacher turned around, giving him a warned look though, but Alois looked away slowly and just yawned. He had had to run to this filthy building – yuck. PE was also something he hated, or moving in general.
'Pair up, guys.' The words caught his attention immediately; his plan! He had to pair up with Ciel right away. He looked around the classroom, finding it not too difficult to spot the boy with blue locks of hair sitting in the right corner of the room. Alois did not pay attention to the remainder of the class and nearly ran to the boy's table. 'You wanna pair up?' he asked, smiling again. Smiling came in useful most of the time, especially when you had a perfect smile like he did. Ciel did not seem to care though. He looked up to him, his face showing the slightest sign of a slight surprise. Alois had noticed the boy did everything on his own; he never paired up with people. He probably was very happy with the fact their class only had 19 students, which caused one person to have to work alone. But now he would not be that person anymore. At least, that was what Alois hoped.
'Okay,' Ciel said while sighing softly. Yup, he probably hoped Alois would back off after them working together for once, now. The teacher handed out the sheets and Alois quickly ran to his chair and pushed it all the way to Ciel's. 'Well, let's start then. Do you like history?' The blond asked, still desperate to have a normal conversation with this boy. Ciel shrugged in a response, which caused Alois to roll his eyes slightly. Really. 'I dislike it,' he continued. 'Why would we have to learn about dead people?' Ciel looked up from the sheet at him. 'We can learn a lot from the past,' he said, as he bowed his head again, reading the descriptions. Alois blinked a few times as he heard that. What the hell? This kid wasn't completely sane, but – neither was he.
'Have you got an idea what we have to do?' Alois asked, too lazy to read it himself. 'Yes,' Ciel replied, and he gave the paper to him. 'Read it.' 'Tch.' The blond started reading anyways, not wanting to get into a fight right away, and did it carefully. 'Sooo. It's about the Victorian age, right? And we have to find out what the nation looked like back then.' Ciel nodded, and the bell rang. 'This has to be finished for tomorrow,' the teacher said and smirked slightly. Yes, this was maybe why Alois hated history so much. Not only because of the boringness of the subject, but because the teacher was a total dick, too. 'We won't be able to do that!' someone yelled in disagreement, but the teacher smirked even more. 'You will, now get out of my classroom.' Alois turned around and faced the other boy again, who was looking even grumpier than before. 'We'll have to do it this afternoon, then,' the blond said, suddenly seeing the optimism in this situation. They'd have to spend more time together! That wasn't bad at all. Ciel raised one eyebrow. 'I'll do my part at my house, and you can do your part on your own.' 'No!' Alois said quickly. 'I'm not good at history… And your grade will be spoiled if you let me do it alone. Really.' The other one sighed again. Alois knew he was a real nerd, who wanted to be the best at everything, so maybe he would agree with his plan now. 'I guess we'll have to, then.' Alois smiled and he followed Ciel to the school bus. This day had turned out to be better than expected!
