Whoa. I'm actually finding time to update this. Thank all of you for the reviews! My goal was 25 but... I'll go easy this time.
Alright, goal for the next chapters including this one: MAKE THEM LONGER.
Sorry if it doesn't work out, I have soooo many classes during the day and I barely even find time to let Victor fuck m- Ahem, SUBJECT CHANGE.
ADD ME ON FACEBOOK, IT'S A RP ACCOUNT BUT MY REAL ONE GOT DELETED SO... EDWARD MICHAELIS PHANTOMHIVE ELRIC.
"Ciel Phantomhive to the office please" said the raspy voice through the booming intercom. I stood up and headed for the office, I was in last period with only 5 minutes left until school ended.
I was shaking as I walked to the office, Was I in trouble? Did I do something wrong? All these questions and more flew through my head until I made it to the office.
I was confronted by a tall woman with dark hair and eyes and sharp features, I could practically see an aura of authority around her.
"I'm guessing you're Ciel Phantomhive?" She asked.
I nodded.
"Good, well I am Ms. Caswell, the principal, if you will please follow me."
She led me into a small office with a mahogany desk in the middle, one chair behind it and two chairs in front. And sitting in one of those chairs was Sebastian.
Our eyes met and I realized how deep red his eyes were, they were practically hypnotizing.
"Please sit, Ciel" said Ms. Caswell while taking her own seat behind the desk. I reluctantly sat down in the chair next to Sebastian.
"So, um, why are we here?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.
She smiled. "Oh, do not worry, you two are not in trouble"
I let out a big breath of relief.
"But, I have a favor to ask of both of you, I looked at your previous records from your old school, Ciel, and I noticed how advanced you are in science, and I've always known that Sebastian is quite skilled in that subject as well!"
So she brought us here to tell us we were good at science...?
"As you may already know, we have an Advanced Science Fair coming up in a few weeks and I, as the principal, must choose the contestants and their partners, I would like you two to be partners and work on a science project together!"
I jumped up from my seat. "What!? No! I can't be partners with him! He... H-he-"
"This will improve your grades dramatically, Ciel" she interrupted "Plus, both of you will get free tickets to the biggest amusement park in America if you win."
Improve my grades? My grades were pretty moderate but it never hurt to improve them...
I sat back down. "Okay... I'll do it."
Ms. Caswell grinned. "Great! How about you, Sebastian?"
Sebastian nodded. "It would be my pleasure..."
I rolled my eyes, of course he said yes.
"Oh yay!" Ms. Caswell exclaimed "Now, you guys have three weeks to come up with a creative, new, unique project, you won't have time to work on it at school so you'll have to work on it outside of school."
I winced at the last part, no doubt Sebastian would try something when we were alone, outside of school.
"Thank both of you for agreeing to participate! I'll see you again in three weeks!" with that we were dismissed from her office.
When the two of us made it into the halls only a few students were heading out the door, there was only a few minutes left in the school day.
"Hey, don't worry, I won't try anything on you when we're alone, unless you want me to of course" said Sebastian.
I nodded, I was so confused about my feelings for him... When I first saw him I liked him and wanted to get to know him, but now that I knew he likes me I had no idea what to do, was I afraid I'd say something or do something wrong and he'd no longer like me?
The high pitched annoying bell rang signaling the end of the school day, students began to litter that hallway from the classrooms.
"Um... Should we work on our project today?" I asked shyly.
"Yes, I think we should, how about my house?"
I narrowed my eyes. "Uh, yeah... What time?"
"How about I drive you to your house, you take care of what you need to then we'll go to my house."
If I knew my Father would be home I would've refused the offer but I knew he would be out drinking so I agreed.
We walked outside, Sebastian led me to a sleek black sport's car, I almost gasped at the nice car, how could a man in high school have such a nice car? I stopped myself from asking and instead got into the passenger side of the car.
Inside looked brand new, like the outside, and it smelled like him... A minty, comforting and sweet smell, that I savored. Sebastian got in the other side and started the car up.
"You're going to have to give me directions to your house" he said while pulling out of the school.
I nodded and proceeded to give him the directions, it didn't take long to get to the beat up, crappy looking house. When we pulled in the driveway I could faintly see him raising his eyebrow, probably at how messed up the house looked.
I didn't want to rude so I invited him in, he accepted the offer and followed me into the messy house. When we were inside I almost heard him gasp at the sight of dozens of beer bottles littering the floor followed by food wrappings and all sorts of trash.
"Do you drink?" he asked, eying the bottles.
"Uh... No, my Father does."
He just nodded and followed me to my bedroom. Inside my bedroom I dropped off my backpack and grabbed a clean pair of clothes. "I- um... I'm going to go get changed in the bathroom, you can wait here" I hurried to the bathroom and got dressed into a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, I just wanted to make myself feel a little bit more comfortable and a looser outfit definitely helped.
I walked back into my room and caught Sebastian kneeling on the ground staring at a stain on the white -carpeted floor.
It was blood, from the other night, when my Father had beaten me again.
I had forgotten to clean it up.
My mouth popped open as Sebastian stood up and gave me a cold stare. "What happened?" he asked sternly.
I tried to answer but my breath just sped up and I almost felt like I couldn't breathe... Wait a second, I wasn't breathing.
I panicked, my whole vision went blurry, I fell to the ground, desperately trying to breathe but failing at the attempt.
Strong arms pulled me into their lap and softly caressed my cheek, trying to calm me down.
When I felt like I could breathe again I looked up at Sebastian who was holding me in his arms while I sat on his lap.
"What happened just now?" he asked.
"I had a panic attack..." I said quietly "It happens when I become overly nervous or scared... Usually I can stop them but it was unexpected this time..."
He nodded and continued to run his slender fingers across my soft face.
I blushed and looked him straight in his fiery red orbs.
"Can you answer my question now? Why is there blood on the floor?" he asked.
"I- uh..." what good excuse was there for that? I couldn't tell him that my Father had beaten me and my lip had split open, causing blood to get everywhere, if I did he would tell Social Services, they would try to arrest my Father and I would get beaten even harder than ever before...
"I um... accidentally cut my hand with a knife..." I lied.
"While in your room?" he asked suspiciously.
"Yeah... Um, a pocket knife, I had it and accidentally cut myself."
He lowered his face down so our lips were almost touching. "Are you sure that's what happened?" he asked.
I was about to nod in response when my bedroom door was thrown open to reveal my drunken Father.
His eyes widened at the sight of Sebastian holding me and looking like he was about to kiss me.
Before I could stop him my Father landed a punch right in my face, I would've been thrown across the room if Sebastian wasn't holding me.
"WHAT THE HELL!? YOU FUCKING WHORE! WHO IS THIS IN MY HOUSE!? I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
Sebastian stood up, an angered and shocked look on his face, he put me down gently and faced my Father.
"You... BASTARD. YOU JUST HIT YOUR OWN SON! WHAT KIND OF MESSED UP MAN ARE YOU!?" Screamed Sebastian, I winced at the anger in his voice and tried grabbing onto him so he would stop. "CIEL, LEAVE ME ALONE, I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS BASTARD, HE'LL NEVER HURT YOU AGAIN."
But that promise was soon broken as my Father grabbed Sebastian roughly and threw him against me so his full weight was thrown against me, causing me to lose all my breath.
Sebastian stood back up like he wasn't hurt and aimed a blow right at my Father's swollen face and succeeded in breaking my Father's nose, sending the drunken man on the floor in pain.
"I'm going to fucking kill you!" yelled the angered Sebastian.
