A/N - Hey guys! Look I know that this is a completed story, but please still review! I like the love! And if I get enough love then hopefully the sequeal will move faster!
Alrighty, welcome to my new Black Butler story! I am fairly new to this anime so CONSTRUCTIVE critisim is always welcome. I'll try to update every other week ( 1-2 ) So if you want to throw in any ideas, please feel free. Remember to review! This will Eventually be a Sebastian OC.
"Well, another year has started...and mother and father won't be here to wish me good luck on my first day as a senior." I sighed to myself as I put on my outfit for the first day of my senior year of high school. It consisted of a pair of dark blue jeans, a white ruffled tank top with a purple tank top over it, opened like a jacket to expose the one underneath, and a pair of plain white flip flops. Nothing special really. I even went so far as to add a long silver chain necklace to add some pizzazz to the ensemble.
My medium length brown hair was a mess, but all I needed to do was brush it out and it would be as good as new. I had always liked that about my hair, not matter the circumstance it would always fall back into its rightful place. I could only pray there wasn't a day that I would be wrong about that.
"Better get going I guess." I grabbed my cell phone, house keys, heavy backpack and headed out the door, after locking it of course. As I walked to the end of my driveway I noticed someone walking down the sidewalk in the direction of my school. He had long grey hair and his bangs covered most of his eyes. Odd, someone with hair as long and as grey as that should be very old, this man seems to be very, very young from the way he was walking.
"Hey Island! You going to stand there all day or are you getting on!" Shouted someone from the window of the bus. When did I even get to the end of my driveway? I noticed a lighter brown headed girl with her head sticking out the window. Who could that be but my best friend since eight grade.
"C-Coming!" I sprinted up the stairs of the bus and the driver shot me a harsh look. I passed it off, not really caring since me and her didn't get along anyway, and made my way to the back, sitting with my best friend, Simone.
"What were you staring at anyways?" She asked. Her lighter brown hair swaying in the wind. She hadn't bothered to close the window and personally I didn't care. It was kind of hot this morning so the breeze was welcomed.
"Oh, I was staring at h-where'd he go?" I had leaned over her to point at the man that had been walking by but he was gone. "He was just there a minute ago, I saw him! There's no way he could have walked to the end of the sidewalk by now!" I leaned back over and her grey eyes looked at me like I had gone crazy.
"Oh well, probably just some old dude who was lost. He'll find his way I'm sure. Hey did you hear about all the new teachers?" She added. No I had not, since when do we need even more teachers at that school? It was crowded enough as it is.
I was about to reply when we hit a rather large bump, making us and the rest of the teens fly into the air for a moment before landing harshly back on the ground. "Hey watch the road you old hag!" Simone screamed, waving her fist in the air like a crazed old man.
"Was that really necessary, she'll just write you up." I said while rubbing my now sore bum and secretly killing the driver in my head. I never was a morning person. Never have been and never will be, it was one of my flaws.
"Oh it wouldn't be the first time she's done it. I'm actually shooting for a new personal record this year." She grinned at the mere thought of tangling with the bus driver. I had to admit, I wasn't too fond of her either, but I tried to keep my nose out of her hair and hopefully she would keep hers out of mine as well. So far it had worked out pretty well.
"Oh yea, what new teachers are you talking about? I haven't heard anything about it." She was about to reply when the bus came to a harsh stop at the entrance to the school. I got up and fought my way down the small aisle of the bus, waiting by the side for Simone to come trudging out. She was caught by the driver who was pointing her finger while Simone was laughing heartedly.
She pranced off the bus with a smile on her round little face and a paper in her hand. "First day and you've already gotten a write up. Why am I not surprised?" I said while walking to the front door of the school. We both entered and were directed into the auditorium by one of my former teachers.
Simone and I took out seats, preferably in the back, while the rest of the students filed in. "Anyways, a bunch of the older teachers retired last year so their positions needed to be filled. There was a lot so I guess the principles introducing them one by one. Maybe it'll get us out of first period." She said while propping her knees up on the back of the chair in front of her, making herself comfortable.
"It's about time they all retired. They've been here for years, since my mother went here." From the corner of my eye I saw something shiny rolling down the aisle. I reached down quickly; I was sitting on the end, and picked it up. It looked like a silver ring. I examined it thoroughly noticing the small inscription that said, "Undertaker...what the heck does that mean?"
"Excuse me miss but I believe that belongs to me." Came a voice, it was closer to my face than I would have liked. I could practically feel the breath from this person on my cheek as he talked to me. And surprisingly enough, it was in a remarkable British accent.
Both Simone and I glanced over and saw that same man that I had seen before. His long grey hair was now back in a ponytail and his bangs were swept out of the way, showing off his glasses and multitude of pierces on his left ear. His hand was reached out and his extremely long black nails scrapped against my hand slightly as he beckoned me to give his ring back.
"Uh, yea. Here you go." I sat the ring down in his hand and he shot me a smile that was rather creepy in my opinion.
"Why thank you dear." He walked down the aisle, putting on his ring while he was at it, and up the small set of stairs that was at the end of the stage, taking his seat next to a multitude of other people.
"Wow...he was weird looking. More like a coroner then a teacher don't you think Island?" Simone nudged me with her elbow while signing her write up form from the bus. She stuffed it in her pocket right as the principal went up to the microphone.
"Good morning students and welcome to another year here at school. As most of you know, there have been many teachers that have left us this year so replacements were luckily found. I shall introduce them one by one and tell what subject they are taking over. And here this...keep all foul comments to yourself or you'll have you first week in detention." Our principal was an older man with a white receding hairline. His thin lips and narrowed eyes always made him look as if he were very angry...or constipated as Simone says. He was known as Mr. Xavier Vanderbilt. Very Victorian in the name if you ask me, but hey who was I to criticize names. I mean look at me...Island...very traditional right?
"First, taking over the coaches of the gym, we have been very lucky to find a set of brothers who have all agreed to take on the task. Their names are Mr. Timber, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Canterbury. Please welcome them."
Suddenly a trio of plum haired triplets stood up and I fond myself trying to figure out just how I was to tell them apart. "This is going to be a long year." I mumbled to myself. They were all dressed the same. Black shorts, a white t-shirt and a pair of black sneakers. They were obviously more fit than our previous coaches and therefore gym would probably be a lot harder this year. I could only pray that I didn't have them.
"Next we have replacing our Food and Nutrition teacher, Mr. Sebastian Michealis." A man who was inhumanly attractive stood; his black hair and ruby eyes were odd to say the least. He shot a smile to us and you would have thought that half the girls in this school had just died and gone to heaven. He wore simple black slacks and a black button up shirt. A pair of dress shoes completed his ensemble. He sat back down; pushing up his round glasses in the process, and our principal introduced the next one.
"Alright, then we have replacing our Drama teacher, Mr. Grell Sutcliff." A man with the longest and brightest red hair stood and blew kisses to everyone. It was then I noticed his abnormally sharp teeth. Goodness they looked like they were filed down to be as pointy as possible!
"Oh he'll be a real treat, won't he Island?" Simone giggled. He wore classic black slacks, a white long sleeved button up shirt with a red and gold embroidered vest over top of it. Not the mention the red glasses to matched his hair to a tee. He seemed very excited about teaching a bunch of snotty brats.
"I can already feel a head ache starting to form from these people." I replied while massaging the temples of my head. Simone gave me a look of pity, but I dismissed it as nothing.
Our principal continued with his introductions, shooting a glare at a few students who were mumbling something that was too quiet for me to hear. "Replacing our Senior English we have Mr. Claude Faustus."
The man stood and pushed up his rectangular glasses with his hand, he had no smile and he had no emotion what so ever. He'll be boring, extremely boring. He had black hair, with a purplish tint to it, and wore casual jeans and a white short sleeve button up shirt. Yep, the definition of boring was that man right there. At least he tried to look a bit professional with purple tie that hung loose around his neck. It gave him a sort of laid back look, but from his void of emotion that he had, I could tell that he wouldn't put up with very much.
"Our algebra teacher will be replaced my Mr. Finnian." This time a rather young and dare I say, cute and or adorable, looking boy stood up and smiled a small smile at the crowd. He immediately sat back down and blushed from all the attention he was receiving. He wore plaid shorts with a mid sleeved white shirt. It came to about his elbows. His short shaggy hair was held back by multiple red bobby pins, giving him that new awkward look. Him I may be able to stand.
"And finally, replacing our Biology teacher is a Mr. Unders? Yes, Mr. Unders." The man that I had seen before stood up and the room got deathly silent. His grey hair was still in its pony tail and his hands were linked together in front of him. All in all, he gave off a sort of dismal aura. Hope I don't have him; it'll just be weird, especially after what happened with the ring. He wore all black clothing, from his pants to his shirt that had sleeves that extended past his hands. I agree with Simone, he looked more like a coroner that anything.
"Alright, now that we have made all the proper introductions...get to class." Our principal got straight to the point. As Simone and I were exiting we pulled to the side to let all the traffic go away from the cramped hallways before making our way to class.
"Man I haven't even looked at my schedule." Simone growled, blowing her bangs out of the way. She dug around in her pocket before bringing out a crumpled piece of paper. "Aha! Here we are! Let's see if we have any classes together, hmm?"
"Alright. I stuck a hand in my back pocket where I had stuffed my schedule before, but found nothing. I tried my other pocket but also found nothing. I even checked my two front pockets but it wasn't there. "Great, first day of school and I lose my schedule. This days going to stink."
Simone was about to reply but instead she got a look of shock on her face and she pointed behind me. I spun around and came face to face, well for me more like face to chest, with one of the new teachers. I looked up and saw the new English teacher staring down at me. Behind him were the rest of the newbie's, their gazed focused solely on me.
"I believe this is yours." He handed me a white piece of paper and low and behold there it was!
"M-My schedule. Thank you, but how did you get it?" I took a step back, not comfortable with the small amount of space that was between us. "I saw it lying on the floor, so I picked it up and noticed you and your attempts to find something. I assumed it was yours."
"Y-yea." I mumbled out.
"Well, let's see then!" Simone jutted in, not really caring either way about all the eyes that was currently staring at us. "Oh look we have first and third together. Alright!" She got a bright smile upon her face as she thought about all the trouble that she would be able to cause.
"We have Drama for first period Simone, we should get going, that's all the way on the other end of the school." I said while snapping her out of her little fantasy world that she always seemed to live in.
"Oh you have Drama for first! Well that would be me! Come along then, wouldn't want to be late on the very first day!" I suddenly felt something interlocking with my arm and before I knew it, Mr. Sutcliff had me and Simone in a tight arm embrace. He literally drug us down the hallway and into a very spacious room.
"Now you two find a seat while the rest of the class files in." He flipped his long red hair out of the way and pranced over to his desk after patting us both on the head. It was like he was our estranged and very odd father or something. His hyper personality and the way he prances about is just not normal.
"You know Simone, I get the feeling that most of these new teachers are...off. Like they come from a different universe of something." I said while looking over the rest of my schedule. I had Drama, with Simone, for first period, and then I had Food and Nutrition. Oh I'll have Mr. Michealis...Gahh. Then I go to lunch, then I have English, again with Simone, and finally I have gym with the new triplet coaches.
"I'm not even going to be able to tell them apart! I'm doomed!" I practically screamed out while doing a lovely face palm. You could practically see the rain cloud of despair raining down on me. Oh it's going to be a long day...a very long day.
