" You were almost get hitted by that speeding carriage. You should be careful next time, Young Master. " Sebastian told him

" But luckily, Sara was there to help you out. Just like she did to me since we were in high school days. " Ronald said

" Ugh, great! Here goes for the romantic part. " Grell said, tapped his hand on his forehead, with a deep sigh

" Just mind your business anyway. " Ciel said, with an insulted expression on his face

" What did you just say, Mr Phantomhive? " Ronald asked, with a little anger on his face

But Sara stepped in, intervene and she told them " Come on, you guys. Stop arguing in middle of the street. Let keep on searching for some other clues. "

" By the way, are you guys are getting hungry? There is a big food stall over there at a circus fair. We need to take a break first before we could continued our mission. " Sebastian asked

" Well, sure thing, Sebastian. We need to take a break first. After all, we have been walking for hours. " Sara said

The five went continued walking, went to a circus fair in which some of the food stalls was placed. While they are buying foods, both Ciel and Ronald, were twitching their eyes on each other and they were burned in flames. After a few seconds, they turned back their heads away, in a grumpy state, avoiding with each other and they walked out, going on different seats, making Sebastian was started to get wondered.

" I had never seen those two are became rivals from the first place. " Grell said

" Um, Miss Sara. I think there is something wrong with those two? I had never seen Young Master was been having a rivalry with someone else. " Sebastian asked, in a whispered manner

" I had already told Ciel about that last night but I was been getting curious when Ciel was totally reacted of what Ronald said of his memorable moments with me. I don't know why. " Sara said in response

" I think he was jealous at him. " Grell said

" jealous? " Sara asked, with curiosity on her face

" jealous is kind of expression in which a person sees his or her crush or idol, was with someone else. The other word was resent. It means that you don't really like that person. " Sebastian stated

" I see about it. But... " Sara uttered, and she whispered to Sebastian and Grell, in a low tone voice " But... I was in love to both of them. "

Sebastian was slightly surprised of what she had said " It was?! But you have to choose in between those two. You can't fall in love with two guys at the same time. After all, Young Master was still relied on you always when he needs some help. Do you think it was necessary? "

Sara sigh in deep, and she said to him " Look, Mr Sebastian. It was not necessary to choose between them. The important is that I have strong care for them and besides, my heart has been decided at all the times, on how should I truly feel for them. I cannot let torned into two. I'm a strong woman and I can able to decide myself to loved someone, who has greater confidence. When I was looking for my special someone, I don't focused on status in the society or even in physical appearance, but I have focused more on their skills, their positive attitudes and their true personalities, if the person was worthy for me. From this day forward I won't back down on them always... is because I loved them so much. "

" I see about it. By the way, can you tell the story on how you and Ronald met with each other? " Sebastian asked

" Yeah, you didn't tell to us about your story. Come on, please... we will really wanted to know, please... " Grell pleaded

" Okay, fine. But... it was a secret one, okay? " Sara told them

And the two were ready to listen to her story while Ciel and Ronald are still avoiding with each other, in different sides.

She sigh in deep breath, and she went proceed, nodded her head " Well you see, it was a long time ago. When I was in my high school days, I was the top 1 student in the whole school body, because due to my strong intelligence and great potential in my studies and I always participated in every contests in school. All of the boys in the school were having a huge crush on me but I didn't mind them, because I don't have time to talked to them until I met Ronald, who was the new transferee in the school. "

(Flashback)

(long time ago)

And she went on " When he transferred to my school, some of the students are started to teased him because of his height stature and his physical appearance. He was always been doubted when some other students were embarrassed at him. And that's how I started to interact with him for the very first time. "

(At the school canteen)

She sat on a long chair on the left side, the same side when Ronald sat with. When she looks at him, he asked her " Why are you looking at me just like that? "

" Just nothing. I was trying to talked with you. I guess you didn't talked to other people since you been transferred here in the school. "

" I guess all the people are quite harsh that much. They don't treat others with respect. " gripped both of his hands, with mad expression on his face

" I had understand of what you have feel but don't hold a grudge against on those people who make you suffered. "

" Hold on... how did you say so? "

" It was a person's perspective in life and besides, I was always to be stayed positive at all the times. I don't really mind other people's business. Right? " with a smile on her face

This makes him to get blushed at her for the very first time.

" Thanks for saying that. By the way, my name is Ronald Knox, the new transferee in this school. You must be the top student, I'm correct? "

" Yes, I am. My name is Sara Fosters. It was a pleasure to meet you, Ronald. "

And the two were shaked hands.

Then, she went on " As days goes by, I was always helping him, wheater in both academic studies and social problems. Every time after classes, we went to the library to study and make projects and assignments. You see, I was in the class section 4-1 while Ronald was in class section 4-3. He and I were having a strong bond with each other despite some of the students were started to get envious or being resented when they saw me and Ronald were hanging out with each other but he and I didn't mind them. But one time, I had saved him from the brink of death when I was on the way back to my home. "

(Return back from the flashback)

(At the street)

When Sara was waiting to crossed the street because of the stop light, a speeding car was approaching in. Ronald, was standing on the other side, didn't noticed the car was coming, tried to hit him. The other people yelled at him to move back away. When he saw the car was approached to him, he was shocked in terror. Sara, rushed to his aid, saved him by through dodging away. The car was hit on a post stand. The people were getting in panicked.

Thought on his mind that he was almost in the brink of death and he was surprised when he sees Sara, had hold both of his hands and they were both lying down on the other corner of the street.

He was surprised, and he asked " Sara? How did you?... How did you do that? "

" I had learned from training lessons from the past. I don't have any second hesitation to saved you from the speeding car back then. "

" So... that's means... you had saved me? "

" Of course, is because I don't want to put yourself in danger and that's why I wanted to saved you because you are my classmate and my first closest friend. "

That very moment, Ronald was started to developed crush on her for the very first time. Even so, he getting blushed when she carried him on her arms.

" I need to get to the hospital for recovered your wounds. "

" But... how about you? "

" I'll be fine, don't worry. My concern right now was your safety. Just hold tight on me, okay? "

" Okay... "

And she carried him, on the way to the hospital, by through running. Ronald, had never been carried by a woman in his entire life and that very moment, he was fell asleep on her arms.

(Return back from the present time)

After she tell the whole story, Grell was act in a romantic impression, in a loud voice " That was so very romantic!!! I can't believe it!!! "

" Grell, just make your voice down. Everyone might heard you. " Sebastian told him

" Sorry, Besty. " Grell said, with a slight blush on his face

" And that's it? " Sebastian asked her

" Yep. A year later, we have been graduated in senior high school. After I get graduated, I started to applied to become a detective investigator while Ronald was applied in an organization for grim reapers. " Sara said in response

" I see about it. You two are quite pretty close to each other. I think you will do that to Young Master as well. " Sebastian stated

" Thanks, Mr Sebastian. But somehow, you and Grell can able to handled them while I having a little bit fresh air. " Sara said to him

" Sure thing, Miss Sara. " Sebastian said

Both Grell and Sebastian went on both sides while Sara was having a fresh air, sat on an another bench.

On the other side, Ciel, turned his head, was paying attention on the seas while Sebastian was looking at him, in a little bit distance.

" What now, Sebastian? Shall we going ahead then? " was looking, paying attention at the seas

" Um, Young Master. "

" Yes, what is it? " still focused on looking at the seas

" Why you and the yellow haired guy should reconcile with each other? "

" I'm not going to reconcile with him. " with an impatient expression on his face

Sebastian sigh in deep breath, and then he asked " Do you think Miss Sara will see you just like that? If you two don't reconcile with each other, things will getting worse. She will be getting upset when you two are having fighting with each other because both of you are falling in love to her. Just put aside your anger and resentment away from your mind. Look, she has truly cares for you so much despite of all the trials and challenges that we have to faced with. Just followed your heart and mind and make the right decision. "

" But, Sebastian.. I... "

He tapped his hand on his shoulder, with a determined expression on his face, making Ciel was finally realized, still remembered of what Sara said to him a night ago. After that, he said in a realization manner " You are right, Sebastian. I need to put aside my negative thoughts on my mind. I will make sure that I will never gave up on her always at all the times. I need her so much. "

" That's the way, Young Master. "

Then, he stand up from the bench, to get approached to Ronald. Both are stepped forward in, facing with each other.

" What now, Mr Phantomhive? " as he watched his mood

" Well you see, I had admitted a huge mistake. I didn't want to get jealous at you because of your past relationship with Sara and I still remember of what she had said to me back then last night. My apologies. "

" Me too. Sorry for I was being so very rude to you a while back ago. I know that you have feelings for her just like she did for me. Maybe she will can do that to you of all those things that she had done for me. Well, after all, we should be friends-rivals. "

" Sure "

And the two were reconciled with each other. Sara, had went approached to them.

" Um, Sara. " Ciel uttered, slowly stepped forward to her

" Yes, what is it, Ciel? Go ahead " Sara asked, urged him

" Well, you see... I was truly... " nodded his head, with a little panicked expression on his face

But he didn't finished of what he will gonna said to her when a black car went in, interrupted their conversation.

Ronald, turned his head to Ciel, told him " Get an extra car immediately! "

" But why? " Ciel asked

" We have to make ourselves to escaped from here. We need to get to the farthest site where this freak can't able to reached her. " Ronald said in response

" Okay then, just protect her from that evil creep. " Ciel told him and he commanded Sebastian " Let's get to the old parking lot immediately. We can't waste any more time. "

" Yes, Young Master. " Sebastian responded

" I'll be coming right with ya. " Grell said

And the three left the scene, leaving Ronald, Sara and the Viscount behind.

" I won't let you to get near to her, you freak. I will gonna torned you into shreds! " Ronald shouted, pointed his death scythe at him

" Really, glass boy? You are trying to killed me? Well, that's too bad. " the Viscount said, with a smirk on his face

" Why you?... " Ronald said, with an anger expression on his face

He released an explosive item from his pocket.

Somehow, I will gonna make the hard way since that you had rejected my offer... "

And so, he attempted to seduced her, but she turned her face away from him.

" Did I already told you? I already have my own special someone. Just leave me alone! "
