Hey guys, updating this story quite a bit aren't I? Lol, I really just wanna get to chapter 10 and then I'll update again near the end of February because that is when my birthday is (Feb 28th, I'm turning 19!) and after chapter 10 is up then I will do the next chapter of One Last Light for those of you who are following that story (why the heck do I sound like I'm talking verbally to you all? You're reading this, not hearing me! xD) Anyway, enjoy this chapter - also for those who are interested in character development, Elizabeth is now on Team Trancy so she will potentially or even temporarily get some development (I hate her character so don't expect too much xD) and Ciel will get some in chapter 10 onwards and Alois will get some development at around chapter 16 I assume because that's when I'm having something happen to him, and something's gonna happen to Ciel during chapter 10 or towards the end of it so look forward to that (or not cause...well...I know the story, lol).

"Ugh, Ciel this, Ciel that, it's all she bloody talks about and it's driving me insane!"

"Regrettable decision then, Your Highness?"

"Yes Chaz, yes it is. No wonder Ciel passed her off as nothing, for once I'm on the same side of the coin as him when it comes to Elizabeth Midford".

"Could her being blonde possibly be a connection to her being somewhat of an annoyance to you?"

"...Are you blind? I'm freaking blond too!"

"Oh, yes, sorry Your Highness".

Alois grumbled and cursed under his breath as he and Chaz trudged through the hallways. About a month had passed since Elizabeth had moved from Team Phantomhive to Team Trancy, and even though Alois was grateful for it, he hadn't expected her to become such a bothersome figure within his usual party. He regretted trying to get close to her, but he had to keep up the act for him to be above Ciel at all times - this meant he eventually had had to take his plan one step further and ask her to be his girlfriend, to which she accepted (thank goodness) and he swore he could feel a nerve about to snap near his brain.

People around him had noticed that since Elizabeth had joined their little group, Alois had become more easily irritated and hostile around others who weren't close to him, and he'd also snap at random moments if he was in a particularly bad mood after spending a few mere minutes with the girl. And Ciel, of course, took advantage of the situation whenever he got the chance - which naturally pissed Alois off even more. Already Ciel had been sent home twice due to injuries that Alois had given him in a fit of rage. Not that the blond Trancy boy cared, if he was above Ciel in any way possible, he would keep it that way.

Chaz had teased him endless times about how Elizabeth probably dreamt about him at night and was planning their wedding from the moment she got home, to which the Trancy boy hissed painfully at the idea of going so far with such an annoyance. He was turning 15 in just under a month, which meant he could throw another one of his famous parties and he just knew Ciel would come along just to see if he slipped up somehow. He grew a little excited at the thought of having a house full of people doing who knows what to one another. Then he stopped in his tracks and shuddered at the idea of doing anything remotely romantic to Elizabeth unless it was in public and he could easily pretend he was enjoying it.

He was find with a peck on the cheek now and then, especially when Ciel and Finny were around, but anything past that - such as a kiss on the lips - was crossing the line for now. He'd occasionally give her a small kiss on the corner of her mouth, but never fully on the lips, and he could give her a loving hug when she wanted one so long as she didn't try and squeeze his insides through his mouth like usual. Honestly, how did Ciel manage to put up with her for so long? As far as he'd heard from gossiping Year 9's, the two of them had begun dating right around the time Alois left for Clear Lake High. He sighed and continued walking, deep in his thoughts until he and Chaz reached their classroom - Math with Mr Faustus. Oh good, he'd even get to see Claude today too!

He audibly groaned in frustration, making Chaz chuckle, and walked inside and straight to the back right of the room. It was his usual seat in most of his classes, and he knew Claude didn't expect him to do any work so the man who was supposed to be a father to him and Luka didn't bother to even give him a worksheet unless he had a good feeling someone would be coming into the classes that day. Alois just took out his notebook and flipped it open to a blank page, took out a pencil from his pocket and began sketching a cabin settled within the moorlands by a gentle river. It was the cabin he and Luka liked going to, and he had promised Luka he would find a way to go back someday. He could hold his party there, but it was a place strictly for him and Luka.

"I take it you're not doing work today then". Chaz commented lightly and Alois just shrugged whilst continuing to sketch away for the hour of boredom. Claude could've tried to get him involved with doing the work but since he already lived with Alois and knew how stubborn he could be at times, he saw no point in trying with the blond brat and just left him to his own devices - much like all the teachers did nowadays. Teaching Alois Trancy was something they'd all rather skip and not go home with stressed minds.

I am so sorry that this one is so short! :( I was going to do the next part but ran out of time since I always get off my laptop at a certain time in the evening, so I kinda started this late and ran out of time, lol.

Anyway, Ciel and Finny in class next part, and Ciel is going to name Finny's teacher crush, can you guess who it is~? (It's probably really obvious, lol) Anyone who gets it right gets a virtual cookie~ ^^ See you tomorrow/in a few hours for the next chapter!
