J: We're back! How was everyone's Halloween? We had a great time!

Criss: Enjoy a super long chapter!

Kuroshitsuji is Yana Toboso's!


The ball was held in what was normally the gymnasium. We were greeted at the door and given name tags. I felt tacky putting a paper name tag on my dress. The gym was decorated nicely, navy and dark purple fabric streamers hung from the ceiling, there were round tables covered in a white cloth that matched the covers on the chairs and there was a large drink table in a corner. A large crystal chandelier and several small crystal lamps lit the room.

I was standing at the drink table when a girl with a light brown pixie cut and glasses came up to me. "Hi! I'm Hayley. You must be new here?" She smiled brightly at me.

I nodded. "I'm Lena, it's nice to meet you." I used my sweetest voice. I extended my hand and she shook it quickly.

"I'm the sophomore class president, I try to make a point of knowing everyone." Hayley wore a short puffy blue dress with a ribbon tied under the bodice in a bow. She had freckles and green eyes under purple rimmed glasses. She grabbed a student walking by. "This is Ben Kingsley, my vice president."

Ben had sandy hair, tan skin and blue eyes, he was the kind of boy you would expect to see in Florida. He wore a white button down shirt and khaki pants, not very formal. He nodded to me, "Welcome to Weston." He smiled.

"Thank you."I looked around. "So, what's it like here? Anything or one I should look out for?" I met Hayley and Ben's eyes, again.

"What math class are you taking?" Ben asked.

"Algebra II." I answered hesitantly.

"Smart." Hayley said quietly.

"Yeah, me too. I've heard that teacher is crazy strict. He has a hard grading scale and gives a ton of homework." Ben ignored Hayley's remark.

"Sounds great..." I wasn't very worried, math was a strong suit of mine and I had a demon to tutor me.

"I'm sure you'll be fine!" Hayley smiled.

"Who's that kid with the eye patch?" Ben asked half chuckling and gesturing to Ciel.

"Oh, that's, ah, my adaptive brother, Ciel." I re-sited the story we had practiced in the ride here.

"Really?" Hayley asked.

"Yeah, he had an incident when he was young. Something happened and, I guess, he lost his eye and for some reason, glass eyes don't work for him or something." More of the story.

"How horrible." Hayley said sadly.

"So, you're adoptive brother. Did his parents adopt you or the other way around?" Ben asked.

"Neither." I gave a small smile. "His parents died five years ago and his uncle took him in. My parents died last year, Ciel's uncle was a good friend of theirs, so he took me in, too."

"God," Ben said.

"That's why we're here, Sebastian got a job here. He's teaching classic literature and college prep. writing."

Hayley grabbed my arm. "We're supposed to mingle, let's mingle!" Ben laughed and my eyes got huge as she pulled me around the ball, introducing me to people.

The first group we came to was made up entirely of girls. One of the three had frizzy brown hair parted deep to one side. She wore a long light blue dress with spaghetti straps. It didn't flatter her at all. The second had dull, straight blonde hair and wore a high waisted black skirt and a white button down shirt, based on her body language and position, she was the leader, I deduced. The final one had red hair pulled back into a high pony tail and a face full of freckles. The dark green of her dress matched her eyes to a tint.

"This is Tracy, Mona and, my twin, Cassadee." Hayley pointed to them in order.

"Hi, I'm Lena." I smiled at them.

"You're new here?" Asked Mona.

I nodded. "Yes, I moved here just a couple of months ago."

"Welcome," said Tracy.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"What classes do you have?" Cassadee asked. I rattled off my classes in order by hour. "We have physics, lunch, study hall and classic literature together." She nodded.

I smiled. "It'll be good to have classes with someone I know." I didn't mention I had all but two classes with Ciel.

Hayley started to pull me again. "It was nice to meet you." I called as we started to approach another group.

"I don't think you'll fit in with them. You're too pretty, it'll upset Mona." She stop in the middle of the gym and looked around. "Every one's spilt into groups. Some people fit into a few different ones." She pointed to a group of girls all in puffy pink dresses. "Those are all the air heads, they're pretty but that's all." The next group was a bunch of guys in ill fitting suits. "Lame nerds, for oblivious reasons, you won't work there." Girls in short dresses surrounded by guys was the next group. "Jocks and sluts, I don't really know you, but you don't seem like the kind." Her voice was far away. "Of coarse, not everyone is here, but for now," Hayley turned and smiled at me. "You can stay with me." I smiled at my new friend.

The lights dimmed. "That means the Principal is going to talk a little before dismissing us." Hayley explained and lead me to a table. I sat between her and Ben. Mona, Cassadee and Tracy shared our table.

The Principal was a short man with thinning gray hair and a large stomach. He gave a speech about how it was going to be a great school year and how proud of his students he was. It was short and we were free to leave after he had finished. Sebastian and Ciel had found me, still talking to Hayley and Ben, a few minutes after the speech.

"Are you ready to go, Lena?" Sebastian asked, it was weird hearing him say my real name.

"Yes," I stood up and waved to Hayley and Ben. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye," They said in unison.

I followed Sebastian and Ciel out to the car.
