Ciel's Point of View
I woke the next day on time and got ready for school. Now I wait for the professor to arrive so I can see what I missed. Perhaps I could look at someones notes.
"Claude...can I borrow your notes?"
"me? Alois sits right next to you...and I don't take notes, I just memorize everything..."
"You what..."
"Memorize everything, Alois is an effective not taker, just use his...he writes a short book each class."
"Okay fine..." I growled gritting my teeth as I sat down. Why do I have to borrow that annoying sloth's notes.
"Alois..."
"What Ciel? Do you need help! Holy crap this is the first time you started a conversation..."
I wonder why...
"Really? Sorry about that, may I borrow your notes?"
"Oh sure...I organize them by topic and blah blah blah blah..."
"Thanks Alois..." I smiled grabbing the notes from him not bothering to listen to his annoying speech.
"Class, i'm sorry i'm late, it won't happen again." the frizzled brown haired woman apologized.
"Oh Ciel, you are back...get your notes, this isn't high school you know what to do." She joked smoothing her skirt and grabbing her lesson book. No duh...I'm not five... I stared at the notes, quickly picking up where we left off. At least yesterday wasn't that eventful...they only talked about stocks...I wonder why they can charge us so much money... Class ended quickly and I was more than happy to leave. I was already tired of learning stuff I already knew, but I can't run a business without a college degree...it would hurt my reputation.
"Ciel!" a high pitched voice screeched.
"What is it Lizzie?" I questioned, prying her arms off my body.
"Oh, well I wanted to know if you wanted to come to this rave thing this weekend. It will be fun and a lot of people will be there." She squeaked bouncing about happily.
"Uh...sorry Lizzie, but I have to study...and um...Raves really aren't my thing...last time I ...it just won't work."
"Oh shut up Ciel, we all know you know the material, and last time wasn't a rave, it was a get together...this is an actual rave...you know drugs and all!" She chirped .
"I'm not int-"
"Shut up Ciel! You're going!"
"Why did you even ask if you're dragging me there anyways?"
"Well It wouldn't be polite if I didn't give you the option."
"Okay...so who else will be there?" I sighed not seeing a purpose to argue with the blonde anymore.
"Oh well, we are actually mixing with another college, plus all of our college will be there not just business majors. Most of our class will go and a few thrill seeking high schoolers might appear." she explained beginning to walk with me towards my car.
"I see... well when is it?"
"Oh! It's this weekend! Don't forget to dress awesomely! You've got to impress everyone because nobody ever sees you you anti-social man!" She joked dragging her black booted feet.
"Whatever, come over and we can drive together okay, I don't want to go by myself."
"Oh! Sebastian is going to, so he can ride with us right?"
"Uh...I don't want to force him-"
"NO i'd rather take my own car." A deep voice interrupted. I stared up in disbelief, a blush appearing on my face as I wondered how much of the conversation he had heard.
"Oh Sebastian, why? We are all going together?" Lizzie pouted placing grey gloved hands on her hips.
"I would like to leave when I want and not depend on others to bring me home." he reasoned smiling softly.
"I see,that's a good point, but I'm stuck to Ciel so it's all good!" She laughed...
"Alright well i'll see you this weekend...but seriously Lizzie if I become annoyed i'm leaving you there..."
"I'll ride with bastion!" She stuck her tongue out at me before bouncing away, towards Alois and Claude.
"Well...i'm going to go home now." I said awkwardly not wanting to stand by Sebastian any longer.
"I'll see you around." Sebastian waved as I walked away. Holy crap...he was so close...I can't believe Lizzie is dragging me around again. Now I have to worry about this the rest of the week...At least it's Wednesday...
**friday**
I sighed happily, clutching my books tighter to my chest. Thank god it's Friday, I don't have class for two whole days... I checked the time seeing it was only 12am I climbed in my car and drove to the local coffee shop. A bunch of students were there cramming for everything they needed for afternoon classes. I'm glad I take morning classes...
"Ciel!"
"Huh?"
"Oh!" A purple haired man I met before walked up.
"I'm Soma...remember, I'm an art major."
"Oh yeah, I remember we met at the library before."
"Yeah, haha small world."
"Technically it's a small college..."
"Oh whatever, so what are you up to."
"Nothing much, class is pretty easy, i'm being dragged to a rave by a psychotic girl." I groaned as I accepted the coffee from the flushed teenager.
"Really! You are going too? At least I know someone there." he sighed in relief.
"Yeah I just needed a coffee, i'm going to contact my company and make sure that everything runs smoothly."
"Ah that's right, you are a huge business man, I forgot about that you seem so normal." He joked as we exited the shop.
"Yeah well, it was nice seeing you again, call me sometime." he handed me his number before walking across the parking lot to a foreign sports car. I climbed into my own car and pulled out my cellphone and began dialing the number.
"Phantomhive Corporations how may I help you?"
"Paula, i'm just checking in on how things are going." I said in my phone voice...everybody sounded sweeter on the phone...
"OH Mr. Phantomhive sir...Isn't it inconvenient to call this department...shouldn't you call your secretary or something?"
"No I wanted to check indirectly...it's more honest this way people don't lie."
"OH well...stocks are still rising, we had to fire an employee...for...cross-dressing and harassing other employees but things have been smooth." She reported.
"Thanks...make sure if anything happens have someone contact me."
"Yes sir."
"Have a great day..."
"You too sir."
Click
Now that I know everything is fine I can go to that stupid rave without worrying.
Ring...
"Hello?"
"Ciel where are you!? I'm in your house! I had to climb up with the window washer! You should lock your windows. Anyway we have to get ready!"
"ELIZABETH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE! IT IS ONLY 12:40...ISN'T IT AT LIKE THREE IN THE MORNING!" I shouted angrily at the girl.
"Oh Ciel don't shout in my ear! And of course it isn't at 3 in the morning, it starts at 10 and doesn't end! Gosh but i'm in your house because you need help getting dressed."
"Elizabeth...it's almost 9 hours away...why are you at my house now?"
"oh because...i don't know I was super excited, we can stop at the store and get alcohol for it..."
"Elizabeth it doesn't take nine hours to buy liquor from the convenient store."
"Ciel stop being stingy! I just wanted you to make me dinner okay!"
"Why do I have to cook for you! I can barley cook for myself! Have Claude do it!"
"Noo!"
"fine, i'll take you to dinner but seriously...don't do this again."
"I wouldn't have to climb into your window if you gave me your apartment key."
"Lizzie...if I gave you my key, hell would break loose."
"Oh shut up Ciel! Just hurry up it's already 1:10!"

How can she drain my energy so fast...after I taker her to an early dinner I will go home and nap...yeah that sounds like a good idea. I began my drive home feeling my depression worsen each moment I drew nearer. I parked into my space, letting out a sigh I stepped out of the car and began the trek upstairs. I waved to the woman in the foyer before boarding the elevator and riding up to the floor.
"Oh hi..." A voice greeted as I arrived.
"hi, Sebastian..." I Sighed fumbling quickly for my keys.
"You look tired." He mumbled grabbing the newspaper.
"You have no idea..." I growled as I clicked the door open.
"Ciel! Thank god! I was so bored! I tried to turn you tv on but I turned your fireplace on and now it's too warm in here!" She whined coming to the door in a tanktop and shorts
"Lizzie! Put clothes on! And to turn it off you just click the same button you used to turn it on!" I screeched opening several windows and turning off my fireplace.
"I know see why..." Sebastian commented before sliding into his apartment.
"Lizzie! Gosh are we going for dinner or what!" I whined as I checked the time. 1:55...
"Yeah! Let me get dressed real quick!" she bounded off towards my bedroom. I love how she is so comfortable...i've been majorly friend-zoned...yet I don't mind in the least...my mind is too clouded with a stupid black haired tall demon...
"Okay Ciel let's go! I want to go to olive garden!" She growled pulling me by my tie.
"What the hell Lizzie I can walk myself!"
"Sure you can, but I'm starving, i've been waiting since 1!"
"Gosh Lizzie..."
Olive garden...
We slid into the booth and began looking at the menus.
"Thank goodness Ciel! I'm starving." She complained. It was already 2:15 by the time we arrived.
"Hi, welcome to Olive Garden, I will be your server may I get you drinks?" The cheery woman asked as she tapped her pen on her paper.
"May I have water with lemon?" Lizzie asked politely.
"I'll have tea." I muttered blandly.
"Oh Ciel that's so boring." Lizzie scolded.
"Hey! Leave me alone at least I took you to lunch!" I retorted slightly embarrassed she'd say such a thing.
"haha...you guys are just like a couple...how long have you been dating?" The waitress asked giggling shyly.
"We aren't." I deadpanned.
"OH come on Ciel, we know you secretly love me."
"Elizabeth..."
"Oh that's right...you wouldn't love me because you have Sebastian..." She teased.
"Lizzie!" I scolded my face turning a light shade of pink.
"Haha i'll be right back."
"Elizabeth..." I groaned putting my face on the table.
"Oh cheer up Ciel, I'm just teasing."
"Lizzie that's embarrassing."
"You shouldn't be embarrassed about Sebastian, he is amazing..."
"Why do you assume I like him..."
"You avoid him like the plague."
"Wouldn't that give you the picture that I hate him?"
"No, not with the way you look at him."
"Lets just eat and go home."
"Yessir" She saluted.
back home
"Ciel you have such amazing clothes! Why don't you wear them?" Lizzie screamed in shock when she looked around my closet.
"I don't know...I am always in business attire...I don't wear my casual clothes most of the time."
"I get that, but seriously you have like every color of everything! I'm a girl and I don't have as many shoes as you!"
"I'm sorry..." I replied sassily as I slumped down onto the chair.
"I should make you a sexy schoolboy!" Lizzie cooed as she pulled my old shorts out of the drawer.
"Hell o..."
"Oh come on Ciel, you know you'd look adorable in it."
"Lizzie come on be serious I bought you dinner."
"Fine fine... well here put these on." She thrusted a bunch of clothes at me. I stared in awe at what she had put together. It was super simple, a light blue t-shirt, black pants with light blue converse and a white belt.
"Seriously Lizzie I couldn't put this together myself?"
"no! You don't know what looks good on your hair and skin!"
"So light blue goes well with my skin?" I questioned sarcastically.
"Of course it does silly."
"Whatever Lizzie, you get ready yourself I can manage getting dressed."
"Okay Make sure you don't jip. Put the clothes on..."
God tonight was going to be interesting.
Okay so this chapter was rather uneventful...but even so it was longer than normal...I hope you enjoyed.
