Well, hello hello hello! :DD Haven't seen a chapter in forever huh? Haha, senior year is certainly time consuming right now - Ugh...Anyways, I hope you enjoy this long chapter and revieew 3 I crave the feedback guys! I miss it ;w;
Ellian ran to the nearest bathroom. Damn that Alois kid! All he did was pick on him and try steal Ciel away! Shoving the bathroom door open, tears began to fall from his emerald green eyes. Damnit all! His plan was falling apart and it's only been one day. One! Grabbing some tissues, Ellian began to blow his nose. How can he win over Ciel's heart without any of that Alois brat to get in his way? Looking over in the mirror, he noticed how puffy and red his face became. "Ew." He said to himself and began to wash his face with cold water. Ellian tried to think of everything he could. Unfortunately, that didn't work out too well since he knew nothing about that other blonde. Ellian sighed. Things were not going as planned...Maybe he needed to step off a bit and just try to get to know Alois. Just to find some type of weakness or just somehow sabotage that odd little friendship they had formed. An idea flashed brightly in Ellian's head. A smirk began to spread on those girly, pink lips of his.
"I may not know much about Alois but..." The smirk broke out into a smile. "I know quite a lot of Ciel..." He chuckled into his hand daintily. No one messes with a Milford. No one. When Ellian felt that his appearance was suitable, he left the bathroom and went back to the cafeteria. There was only ten minutes left till lunch was over. Looking around for Ciel, she spotted him in the same spot he was before. He had a slight blush on his face as Alois was saying something to him. Balling his fists, Ellian procceed in their direction. Calm down Milford...You got this...Ciel looked up and smiled awkwardly.
"Are you feeling better Ellian?" Ciel asked. Alois looked up and smirked. The other blonde saw that Alois was holding onto Ciel's hand like they were going to be wed or something.
"Yeah Milford, how are you?" Alois said. Ciel elbowed Alois in the ribs. "Ouch!" His blue eyes looked at Ciel as he raised his eyebrow. Rubbing his side, he rolled his eyes. "Tch..fine..." Alois cleared his throat. "I'm...I'm sorry for my ride behavior earlier. It was wrong of me and highly immature." He stopped but Ciel looked at him again. He sighed. "Ugh...I hope we can start over and be friends." Ellian tried hard not to scowl at Alois. He obviously didn't care if they were friends or not. Ciel was the one reason he even bothered to apologize...and he didn't even sound like he meant it! Alois smiled at Ciel and hoped to be somehow praised for doing what he was told.
"Wipe that smile off your face Trancy." Alois began to pout.
"Aw! But Ciel~!" Alois began to drape over Ciel's lap. The younger boy began to blush furiously.
"A-Alois! Get off my lap this instant!" Ellian rolled his eyes. Alois was such an idiot.
"Do you need help Ciel?" Ellian flashed a cute smile. Alois raised an eyebrow at him. Ciel looked up and shook his head.
"Ah, no thank you. I can always just..." Ciel pushed Alois off his lap. Unfortunately, he didn't realize how much force he used and threw Alois on to the floor.
"Gah!" Alois fell on his stomach. Ellian tried not to laugh at Alois. Serves him right. "Damnit Ciel!" The bell rang just as Alois got up from the floor. He was dusting himself off while mumbling underneath his breath. Ellian took the chance to hold onto Ciel's arm. Not latch on,but actually hold it gently. He certainly learned his lesson.
"Ciel! What class do you have next?" Ellian asked calmly. He knew Ciel detested the high-pitched, excited voice he usually does. Alois was eyeing Ellian cautiously. Ciel thought about his schedule since he already memorized it.
"I have math, English then art." Alois rolled his eyes when Ellian smiled. The blue-eyed blonde was getting a bad feeling about this. Ellian changed how he acted and in a good way. He was less annoying.
"Oh! I have math and English with you!" Ellian smiled at Ciel. Much to Alois' surprise, Ciel blushed a bit from that smile.
"Tch, that's great." Alois smiled at Ellian. Despite him smiling, Alois was ready to smack Ellian to the ground. How dare this little punk try to steal Ciel away from him! He had him first and it was clear that Ciel was starting to like him back. All his hard work will not go to waste. He had to bring Ellian down...Find any secrets he had...But how? Alois loathed the idea of trying to be nice and friendly with this brat. Looking over, Ellian and Ciel were having a lovely conversation over God knows what. Grinding his teeth, Alois knew he had no other choice. The trio traveled their way into the math class. Sebastian seemed to be the teacher for this class and smiled as he noticed Ciel and Alois walking in.
"Ah. Welcome, welcome." The tall man smiled. Ciel nodded curtly.
"Mr. Michaelis." Ciel took his seat in the middle of the room and watched as Alois and Ellian took seats on each side of him. Oh dear...This shouldn't turn out well...Alois looked over at Ellian and actually smiled at him. Not the fake, murderous smile but an actual smile. Ellian noticed and smiled back. Ciel, who was in the middle, looked between both blondes and furrowed his brow in confusion. This definately is not good...Ciel tried to get comfortable in his seat but he was worried as to what was going on between the blondes.
Sebastian began the lesson shortly after they took their seats. As Ciel was taking notes like a good student, Alois would be spacing out. He never liked math and it certainly never interested him. It was just a bunch of numbers, why complicate things and make up all this bullcrap? Sighing, Ciel put his pencil down. He already knew these formulas thanks to Madame Red. Once in a while, Ciel would catch himself looking over to Alois and just...stare. Each time, the young boy would blush and pout. What was he doing staring at Trancy for? Ciel fixed his dark blue eyes over the blonde. He would notice the way Alois would purse his lips in deep thought or the way his blue eyes would shine brightly despite being completely bored. Ciel felt his face turn hot from the thought of Alois' lips. Memories from early came galloping back into his mind. Alois' soft lips against his, they way his eyes would look at Ciel and the way he held him...Ciel mentally slapped himself awake. That was not normal for a boy to do! Well, not about another boy anyway...He groaned and tried to focus on what Sebastian was teaching. He couldn't keep the blush off his face.
Ellian on the other hand, would notice Ciel staring at Alois occasionally. Each time that it happened, Ellian felt himself clutching on to the pencil even harder. How could this be?! He was nice to Alois and actually changed his behavior and yet...and yet Ciel still didn't acknowlegde him! Taking a deep breath, Ellian tried to be more rational. The behavior changed was only half an hour ago...More time was needed if Ciel was going to start to like him over Trancy. He heard Sebastian talking in the background but could care less. Ah! That was one way to get close to Ciel! Ellian smiled to himself. Even though he knew these formulas, he can dumb himself down in order for Ciel to tutor him...It was brilliant! He looked over at Ciel and noticed that he staretd to blush after looking at Trancy. Ellian couldn't help but grind his teeth together. Ciel should be blushing over him! Not that other blonde! A growl found it's way in the back of his throat as he snapped his pencil in half. His plan to win Ciel over is going to start right after math class and he WILL be successful!
Among all this, Alois was sitting in his seat while spacing out. He wasn't aware of the glares and stares he's been recieving and he sure in hell wasn't aware of all the trouble he was starting. Alois was just staring at the growing numbers on the board. Then Sebastian started to add some alphabets into the picture. Alois moved back a bit. What the hell? Is this reality? Why are there freakin' letters in math? Alois thought to himself. Surpressing a groan, he was going to have to ask Ciel for help later. The poor blonde even paid attention! Well, for the most part. He actually tried but math was never his best subject. Alois was more for the theater, more for the physical activities and even literature for God's sake! Yet math...math is his weak spot and he severely hated it. Looking over at Ciel, he smirked. On the upside of Ciel tutoring him would be some alone time with the boy. Especially since they are roommates. Oh the precious alone and bonding time they will have! On the other side of Ciel was that distasteful blonde boy, Ellian. Green-eyes met blue eyes in a tension filled stare. No way was Alois going to let this little blonde steal away someone that he wanted! Alois made a slitting of the throat motion towards Ellian. The other boy huffed and immideately flipped him the bird.
Ciel then looked between the two boys and rolled his eyes. Were they not aware that he was in the middle? Sebastian closed his book and dismissed the whole class. Both blondes were glaring at each other while they were gathering their things to go to English class. Ciel couldn't help but sigh. All he asked for was a normal school life. Why couldn't God or something give him that? Ciel grabbde all of his belongings and left without the other two. They would eventually catch up. Ciel began to count the seconds before they arrvived.
"Out of my way Milford!" Ciel heard Alois say.
"No, you! I have something to ask Ciel first!" Alois sighed in annoyance.
"Look, my question is obviously more important than whatever the hell you're going to ask so shove off!" Milford squeaked as something sounded like it hit him on the arm.
"How dare you Trancy! You're so rude! How do people stand you?" Ciel was starting to grow more annoyed as the bickering continued.
"I could very well say the damn thing back to you. You look like such a girl that you might confuse the boys! Not even Ciel and I look that feminine. If I didn't know better, I would think you are one!" Ellian gasped.
"Take that back you poor excuse of space!" Alois laughed and skidded away.
"Like hell I will!" Ciel heard Milford growl a bit then stomp his way right next to him.
"Ciel! Alois is treating me like a fool again!" Because you are a fool. Ciel thought to himself. Turning his head to face the short blonde, he couldn't keep the annoyed look off his face.
"What was it that you two wanted to ask me? I couldn't help but hear you guys earlier. Along with everyone else in the hallways..." Ciel looked around and saw some students looking towards them. More attention...that's EXACTLY what Ciel needed... Alois glared at Ellian and pushed him out of the way.
"Ciel, I just wanted to know if you could help me with-" Ellian pushed Alois roughly and grabbed onto Ciel's free hand. "Oof! Hey!"
"I wanted you to help me with math!" Ellian said quickly but then he cleared his throat. "I mean, I know you're good in math so I wanted you to tutor me when you got the chance..." Alois scoffed.
"That was my question you arse!" Ellian returned Alois's glare. Ciel started to massage one side of his temple as the bickering started again. They were starting to draw in more boys. Feeling his cheeks grow hot from the unwanted attention, Ciel slapped both of them behind the head.
"Look!" Both blondes rubbed the back of their heads and mumbled a response. "I'll turtor both of you if you stop acting like children!" Ciel cleared his throat and whispered. "And frankly, you two are embarassing me." With that said, Ciel left and entered the classroom. Upon entering, there was a loud popping sound. Ciel immediaely jumped and went on high alert. "What?!" He squeaked. Looking around, he noticed a young Asian woman sitting on the desk. Her bare legs were crossed on top of each other as her large, golden eyes stared at Ciel with curiousity. Immediately, Ciel felt his face turn completely red. Does she not feel indecent? Especially in the presence of young males? Ciel thought to himself. The young woman switched legs and moved a bit closer to examine Ciel.
"Oh, what the hell?" Alois said upon entering the classroom. The woman looked at Alois with the same blank expression she gave Ciel. Her eyes were still shining with curiosity. "Er...Hello there..." Alois waved a bit. She made no move to respond and simply continued staring at them. Alois was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. "Um...Ciel...do you..." He pointed at her with his thumb.
"I have no clue..." Ciel slowly went to a table and sat down. I wonder why she's here...This is an all boy's school! Plus, we're in England, not China... Ellian entered the classroom and took a step back.
"Um..." He looked at the strange woman from head to toe. "You couldn't possibly be the teacher...could you?" The woman shook her head no; which made some jingling sounds from the bells she wore on her head. Her hair gave off the illusion that she had cat ears...Ellian was confused at this. "Are you lost or something? I could guide you to Mr. Michaelis if you want..." Alois shook his head and took a seat next to Ciel.
"This school is just full of surprises, isn't it?" Alois chuckled a bit. Ciel sighed as he watched Ellian interact, or try to interact, with the strange Asian woman. She stood up and somewhat towered over Ellian. Ciel heard Alois whistle. "Well, damn." He laughed.
"I didn't think she would be that tall..." Her short skirt was very distracting. Ciel couldn't help but look at her legs. It also reminded him of a certain someone...Ciel turned to look at Alois' legs. That blonde twit still didn't put on proper pants! He was also showing off his thighs just like this woman was. Ciel didn't know who to be more embarassed for.
"Oi, why is your face so red Ciel?" Alois asked as he waved his hand in front of Ciel. Blinking a couple of times, he shook his head.
"Oh, ugh, nothing! It just got a bit hot in here is all." Ellian was talking to the woman now. Even if the woman never spoke, she would nod or shake her head. The jingling was frequent. Ellian was happy to have someone to talk to. Ciel guessed the reason was because he would never be interuppted.
"...Do you think that girl is hot?" Alois asked with a smirk. Ciel whipped his head back to look at Alois and blushed again.
"No you twit! Her...her legs are showing and that is very improper for a woman to do so!" Ciel replied as he took his notebook out. "Honestly Trancy..." Alois laughed.
"Oh~ I guess you just prefer seeing my thighs, huh Ciel." Alois winked which caused Ciel to stutter and blush even harder. Before Ciel could manage a retort at the blonde, another Asian entered the room. He was certainly tall for an Asian too. Ciel mumbled under his breath and prayed he would get that tall one day.
"Ran Mao!" The Asian woman turned to look. Her lips barely twitched in an upwards motion. "Where have you been? I have been looking all over for you dear sister!" Ran Mao went over to the Asian man and hugged him tightly. Everyone in the classroom was severly confused. The man looked at the classroom and smiled. "Ah~ My young pupils!" His Chinese accent was barely audible. His hands were clasped inside the large sleeves.
"Are..you the teacher?" Eliian said as he sat down behind Ciel. Much to Alois' joy, someone else took the other seat next to Ciel. The man smiled.
"Why yes~ I am your English teacher! You may call me Lau." His smile widened. Alois raised an eyebrow.
"How could you be an English teacher if you're Chinese? How did you even become an English teacher for...England..." Lau simply kept the smile on his face.
"It's because I have known Sebastian for quite some time. He helped me pull some strings and voila!" Lau took his seat in the front. Ran Mao continued to stare at the students as she took her seat on Lau's lap. Alois raised both his eyebrows at the sight of this. Very bold...I like them. Alois thought as he smiled to himself. Ciel on the otherhand...was mentally scolding them for acting the way they were. Especially since Lau was a teacher! Ciel sighed and put his head into his hands. This was certainly a long day for the poor boy. Flamboyant teachers, teachers with indecent tendencies, another pesky blonde, and that one certain incident in the locker room with Alois...Blushing, Ciel sighed once again and felt a headache forming near his temples. He wasn't aware that Lau had decided not to teach and simple began to ask questions. "Hm,that young boy seems depressed about something..." Lau commented as he looked over Ciel. Alois chuckled.
"Rough first day." Alois said as he matched the China man's smile.
"Oh?" Lau asked as he rubbed Ran Mao's back softly. Lucky for Ciel that he couldn't see it. Alois then began to explain about the events during Halloween. Lau began to look more and more interested as Alois explained. Of course, he left out some details such as him dressing up as a maid and kissing Ciel. Ellian simply rolled his eyes and went back to studying for other classes. Alois felt pretty damn confident with himself now that the English teacher and some of his classmates thought Ciel and him were cool. The bell soon rang and Lau dismissed the class.
"Wait, we didn't do anything!" Ciel said before he left the classroom. Lau simply kept his smile and bowed. Ran Mao's golden eyes were still fixed on him. He could barely see the little smile she had.
"Oh, young Ciel." Lau took his hands out from his large sleeves. "Today was a day off. We shall learn tomorrow!" He patted and ruffled Ciel's hair a bit. Pouting angrily over his messy hair, Ciel simply nodded and left quickly. All he wanted to do at this point was walk in silence but of course, things never go the way he wanted anymore. Alois caught up to him and smiled.
"One more class and then we're done!" Alois said. Ciel sighed and simply nodded. "No Ellian either..." Ciel barely heard.
"I don't understand why you two constantly bicker all the time...And it's only the first day." Ciel quickly responded. Alois raised an eyebrow but kept that smile on his face.
"Don't know. We just clash is all." He giggled. "Oh! Before I forget, when should we schedule a tutoring session? I really do need help in math since it's not my greatest subject." Alois said with sincerity. Ciel was taken back a bit. Alois was being serious all over again and it really wasn't like him to be that way.
"Well, I guess when we begin our homework back in the room...I can be of some assistance." Ciel offered. Alois clapped his hands together and hugged Ciel.
"Oh! Thank you so much Ciel!" Thrown completely off guard, Ciel began to blush, stutter and make a complete fool of himself.
"I, um, well, it's, um..." Alois pushed him back for a bit then looked around. No one was in the halls so he quickly planted his lips onto Ciel's. Ciel quickly shut his mouth. His mind went blank once again. Without realizing, he closed his eyes and kissed back. Alois smiled into the kiss and broke it off. For a couple of seconds, Ciel just stared at Alois and wished to have his lips on his again. He didn't know he actually missed kissing the blonde. As weird as it sounded to him.
"My, my~" A male voice purred. "Wasn't that simply the cutest thing I've seen today~" Both boys paled in the face and turned around to see a man with long, bright red hair. His green-eyes twinkled behind his skull glasses as his smile grew with each passing second. "Oh, don't mind me boys. I was just...walking around!" The man giggled a bit like a fangirl.
"Um, who are you?" Alois said since he managed to find his voice first. "Don't tell me your another teacher..." The man pouted a bit.
"Of course I am a teacher here! A beautiful young lady like myself couldn't possibly just be here among these young kids without a reason!" He flipped his hair back dramatically. "Well, besides the attractive male teachers here..." The man laughed loudly. "Especially that Sebastian-" Suddenly, a huge ball smacked the man behind his head.
"My, my. That certainly is an introduction to the new students isn't it Mr. Sutcliff?" Sebastian said as he approached them.
"Sebby! That wasn't very nice of you to do!" The red-hair man whined. Even though Sebastian had a smile on his face, you could tell he was ready to murder this guy. "Maybe if you kiss it I'll feel better~" He winked at Sebastian.
"Haha. You certainly are the charmer, aren't you Grell?" The black-haired man said with a strained voice.
"Not to intrude but..." Alois said as Ciel stayed quiet. This is too much for the poor boy. "What class teacher are you?" Grell simply smiled.
"Art, of course! Beautiful people make beautiful artwork!" Sebastian put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
"Yes. Mr. Sutcliff-"
"Grell!" Sebastian sighed as Alois giggled. Ciel was still stunned quiet. He never saw someone so red in his life besides Madame Red. Grell certainly made her look a little less feminine.
"Grell here is your art teacher...Even though he is holding up the whole class." Grell smiled and went to hug Sebastian.
"But I get to spend more time with you out here~!" Sebastian's smile grew more strained.
"Do you really want to start with me?" Grell immediately let go and walked into the classroom.
"Hm~ Not right now Sebby!" He winked again and blew a kiss at the other teacher. Ciel noticed the slight shiver that Sebastian did before he walked away.
"Yay! Art class!" Alois paraded in. Grell then stood on the table and clapped his hands loudly.
"Well hello class!" No one said anything. "Damnit, you're suppose to say hello back! You guys are rude!" Grell stomped a heeled boot on the table. Ciel walked in and paled instantly. Oh dear God...what is with this school?
"Haha, hello Grell!" Alois said happily. Grell smiled a bit.
"Thank you! Now, I expect everyone to greet me when I say hello goddamnit! Anyways, welcome to my art class! I hope we have fun getting to know each other~" He winked at everyone as Ciel kept shaking his head. Alois seemed to be having a blast with this teacher.
Oh dear Lord...This school is certainly going to take forever to get through...
