"Hoheo Taralna, Rondero Tarel..." Alois muttered under his breath.

"Mr Trancy, would you please leave until I have dismissed my form class? I do not wish to put up with your intolerance this morning, and since I'm assuming you didn't go to your own form class this morning with Miss Anafeloz, you weren't told about first period being cancelled for the new Year 9's to settle in". Mr Spears sighed, pushing his glasses up a bit, making them glint in the light.

Alois shot a glare at Cantebury, who shrugged from behind him and as he turned to stride out of the classroom, he caught Ciel smirking in his direction. The little brat had some nerve showing up in his school again. Alois would make sure Ciel suffered Hell for all the time he was here at Clear Lake.

You see, whenever Alois and Ciel were in the same school, the whole school became divided in two, never minding if you were above, in or below their year group. You were either on Team Trancy or Team Phantomhive. And this certainly caused problems for Alois whenever Ciel finally joined his school, for he would lose followers who would change their minds about him and go to Ciel's flock of pawns. Their whole rivalry was a chess game, each trying to outdo the other in anyway possible until the crashing moment of when one king put the other in checkmate.

"Why didn't you tell me first period was cancelled?! Do I have to make myself look like an idiot now to be popular?!"

"Sorry Your Highness..." Cantebury mumbled but clear enough for Alois to hear.

The blond huffed and folded his arms, annoyed, as the two headed to the toilets. Well, it's not as if he was going to go and sit with Miss Anafeloz for the hour, was it? Alois walked into the toilets and lifted himself to sit on the windowsill and leant up against the side. Cantebury leant against the sinks and soon enough Alois begun swinging his leg gently, the other pulled up to his chest. "Ugh...I'm so bored!"

"Same".

"Do you think Timber and Thompson went to form?"

"Probably".

"Tch, honestly. We got forty five minutes left until History, what can we do?"

"They might be doing something fun in form to take away our boredom".

"Tch, with that bitch? I don't think so. Hoheo Taralna..."

Soon the bell rung and Alois and Cantebury headed to History with Mr Knox. The almost hyperactive teacher really knew how to annoy Alois and piss him off. The blond eventually reached class, not noticing he had passed Ciel and Elizabeth in the halls, and slumped into his seat with a bored expression. Honestly, why did he even choose these classes in the first place for his GCSEs? He was filthy rich and he'd be able to get a job easily at his Uncle Arnold's business anyway when he finished school.

"Mr Trancy, surprised to see you in this class". Mr Knox commented, eyeing the boy skeptically. He really didn't need to be scolded by William again for not handling the boy properly. But luckily, this year the teachers had held a meeting in how to handle to Trancy brat. They would let him do what he pleased, only scolding him when things got too out of hand. It was less stress on their part, and shamefully a benefit on Alois' since the boy clearly didn't give a damn about his education.

"Just trying to made Cl- Father proud of me, Mr Knox" Alois smiled innocently, making a few girls in class giggle quietly. Mr Knox just shook his head and turned to write on the board and begin the lesson. There was nothing innocent about Alois Trancy, that was for sure.

"Omg, Ciel, did you hear who's here?!" Elizabeth whispered to him in their English class with Mr Michaelis, also the apprentice of Ciel's butler, but didn't give the boy time to answer. "Alois Trancy! Oh Ciel, you won't get into trouble with him will you? He's a nasty piece of work my mother and father say, I don't trust him at all".

"I know, I saw him this morning making an idiot out of himself, per usual". What a douche, really, he's already been through this year, wouldn't he of remembered? Then again, Trancy being an idiot only raises my popularity - people prefer those who are mature it seems. Easy enough for me, Ciel thought with a sly smirk, which he hid behind his hand as he shifted to cover his mouth and focus on the worksheet in front of him.

"This year we will be working on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Any questions?" Mr Michaelis asked.

Yeah, do we really have to do something so stupid and totally unromantic? Ciel thought, but Elizabeth looked almost as smitten with the story as she was with Ciel. Yeah, the two were dating, but Ciel had never felt anything towards it. She was merely a pawn in his game with Alois. Having a romantic partner made him one step up from the pathetic nuisance named Alois Trancy. And Ciel also knew that Elizabeth would forever be a member of Team Phantomhive, no matter what.

"Oh Ciel, isn't this play just wonderful?"

"I guess, not really my thing". My sort of thing is something along the lines of ruining a certain flamboyant blond's reputation once and for all.

Finally break arrived and who was Ciel to run into once outside? Alois. Of course. The two boys stared one another down and people around them began to stop in their tracks, waiting to see what would happen. "Well, well, if it isn't Ciel Phantomhive. How's my favourite little puppy doing? Feeling all grown up are we?"

"Alois Trancy, nothing but a filthy spider that's just waiting for it's innocent prey to come along and walk into it's web of lies".

"Wow, I must say, even for you that's an impressive one".

"Ciel, let's just go...you don't want trouble with him this time..." Elizabeth tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve, wanting to leave. She flinched slightly when Alois looked at her.

"Oh how lovely to see you too Lizzy! How's the little dog been treating the girl he doesn't even love, hm?"

"What?"

"Trancy, shut your mouth! You know nothing!"

"Oh Ciel, I'm just kidding, of course you love her with all your precious heart". He leaned down a bit to whisper in Ciel's ear tauntingly. "I know what your game is, if you lose her you'll have to step down a bit. I'd hate to be you when she finds out the truth~"

Ciel just growled and glared at him as the blond stalked off with a smirk. One of them was going to go down by the end of all this, and neither of them wanted it to be themselves.
