Hi guys, it's me, Wallflower, and I'm here with a new fiction. So, basically, this takes place in the modern world, so Ciel and the other characters are not related to the past. Just sayin…enjoy everyone!

Chapter 1

6.30 AM, the sky is still a bit dark and gloomy because it is an autumn day. The winds are blowing, and it casts yellow leaves swarming through the air, along the pavements. The streets are empty, one because it is early in the morning, and secondly, it is very cold and breezy that day. Well, at least, most of the streets are vacated. A fifteen-year-old boy is walking along the sidewalk, clutching on his leather coat. His nose and ears are red because of the cold, and he walks on the grass, near a park. He wears plain clothes, a white shirt, blue jeans and a pair of canvas sneakers. His black leather coat makes him look baggy.

"Dang it…It's my first day…and I'm so late!" He said, clenching his teeth. He walks faster, towards a concrete blue building, which is lying ahead of him, at the end of the pathway. "Dad…if I fall sick, it's all your fault!" He curses his dad inside of his head. The teenager blocks the wind with his right arm, and clutching his backpack, he walks towards the ten-foot steel gate. The banner lays upon the right side of the brick wall, it reads:

AkuMarine Private Academy

The boy pulls out a brochure inside of his backpack, reads, and looks again up on the sign. "This is it, AkuMarine Academy…'right…" Then he pushes open the double-door gate. They make a creek noise. He walks further a bit more along a bricked path decorated with mostly flowers, but since it is autumn, some of the flower bushes got bared. Rows of pine trees are growing in front of the main entrance, and since they are so tall, they make the building look green. It is a huge mansion-or rather, an academy that is built upon a mansion, with flowery concrete textures, and mostly the school is colored in blue, just like the sky. The boy pushes open the wooden double-door and walks inside.

It is a rather huge reception office, with the ceiling decorated by a golden chandelier, hanging loose five feet down, that captivates the boy most. He blinks several times due to the brightness and scans around. To his left, there is a grand piano in the color of black, carefully polished. Next to the piano are two fibre-stuffed sofa chairs, one on each side of the piano. There is also a small wooden table that holds an antique brass lamp, which is dimly lit.

To his right, there is the reception, made of wood and covered with blue glass on top. He sees several computers and different clocks hanging on the wall, each clock shows different time zones from different countries. A woman is sitting behind the wooden table. She has red hair hanging loose around her neck, wearing a pair of rectangular glasses on her face. Her lip gloss is bright red and she looks smart. She wears a reddish suit formally, and the boy spots the name "Ms. Dalles" written on the label in front of her. He walks forward.

"Excuse me, miss, I'm new to here, and it's my first day." He says. Ms. Dalles looks up.

"Ah." She smiles. "You must be Ciel Phantomhive, your father called earlier. I'm Angelina, the headmistress of this academy. Let me start your registration, and you can start school today. A moment please." She turns around and grabs a registration form.

"Right, would you mind filling in these, I'll send a student down later to show you around." Then she hands Ciel the paper, turns to the computer and types something in. Ciel sits down on the sofa chair and starts filling in the information. When he is all done he looks around to find the date.

"Let's see…today is Monday…" He writes it down below his signature. Then a student appears from the elevator. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and he looks no older than Ciel. He wears normal clothes, with a green T-shirt and a pair of black velvet jeans and he has an assistant card hanging around his neck with a dark blue strap. He smiles and walks towards the headmistress.

"Miss Dalles." He said. She nods. "Ciel, come here, this is Alois, and he is going to show you around. It's your first day, so you don't need to be in class immediately. Make sure you know the way around, because the building is quite big. Oh, and here's your planner." She hands Ciel a blue planner book, which is quite small with plastic coverings. "It is used to write down your daily schedule and lesson plans if you need to, and the cost is free. If you lose it you have to buy it again. I have your schedule attached to the back cover already."

"Thanks." Ciel said, then he walks off with Alois. He smiles friendly.

"Hello, Ciel. I'm Alois. Do you transfer?" He asks. Ciel nods, a bit uncomfortable because he is not used to the place yet.

"Yeah, I left my old school and just got to this town a week ago." He says.

"Hm, wow. Where did you go to back then?" Alois asks.

"Victoria High."

"Oh, so you went to a public school, then." Alois replies. "So why did you transfer here?"

"Um, my dad, divorced, so…I go here with him." Ciel said.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"That's okay."

"'Kay, lemme see your schedule." Ciel hands Alois his schedule. "Okay…Art, Tech-Ed, Science, ooh same as me!, Math, Language Arts then finally Social Studies. Alright. Let me walk you around first." Then the two of them continue strolling through the halls. Mostly, the ceiling is decorated with flowery patterns, and about every twenty feet there is a potted plant hanging against the wall. Alois points to the first room on their right.

"This is Miss Anafeloz's lab. She teaches Family and Consumer Science. I've never had her though, cuz I only signed up for Orchestra and Tech-Ed for electives." Ciel spots a label on the door: Family & Consumer Science-136. Then they continued to walk.

"Um, I have a question: isn't there like…uniforms or anything? I thought academies were supposed to be providing uniforms?" Ciel asks confused.

"Oh, I don't know. But the headmistress is an easy person. So she thought we could dress up on our own rather than wearing one specific stuff. She says it's 'colorfuller'." Alois said, holding two fingers out on each hand and moves the fingers up and down, quoting Ms. Dalles. They walk a bit more and there is a turn on the left.

"Okay, people call this the Art Hall, cuz all art-related classrooms are in here. We have the Choir at the very back, next up is the Band room, the Piano and Guitar classes, and on your left is the Art room which you would go to after I've finished showing you around." Then they exit the Art Hall and continued walking. Ciel notices the hallway leads to a bigger inner section that leads to many more hallways.

"So that big hall room on the right is the First Years' Pod, that's where most of your classrooms will be. The one ahead of you leads to the Gym and Cafeteria at the back. That on the left leads upstairs to the Second Years' Pod. Third and Forth Years' Pods are on the third and fourth floors, but you don't need to climb up there, cuz, obviously, you're only a first year. So let's turn this way." Alois and Ciel turn right into the First Years' Pod.

The hallway, again, leads to an even bigger section, with a lot of classrooms located everywhere. It is empty in the middle, where a big round wooden table stands, some chairs surrounding it. Every classroom is decorated in different styles, according to the subject, or the teacher's style. Ciel is impressed with a door that is plastered with posters of imaginary creatures, such as unicorns, Pegasus's, fairies, hellhounds, and some other animals that he could not recognize. On top a banner says "Welcome to Mr. Spears Language Arts". Ciel peeks inside, and saw a tall man standing in front of class teaching. He wears a pair of black glasses, his hair neatly combed to both sides of his head, and he wears a black suit. The look on his face is so serious, that Ciel doubts it matches with what was expressed on the door, judging by the flowery decorations. Students are sitting facing the teacher, and they are doing some sort of assessment that Ciel didn't know. But he sees a lot of them giggling, and even some of them aren't even paying attention.

"Oh, don't mind Mister Spears, he's strict on the outside, but he's really funny." Alois beckons Ciel over to other classrooms.

"This is Social Studies hosted by Missus Midford." Alois leans a bit closer to Ciel. "I shouldn't say this, but…she's so lame and boring I just fall asleep whenever I have her!" He says. Ciel nods, just by seeing what's written on the door is already boring. The Constitution of our Country… The Rules of Attending School… The Guide to become Successful… all that stuff. Ciel walks along.

"Next is Aleister…I mean Mister Chamber's Math Class. I can't tell you how much students like him, especially girls. He's sooooo freakin' humorous, and the way he talks….just so funny! Every first year has him, so basically everyone in this school knows him. He even lets us call him by his name, Aleister! Well, he's single, and he's interested in women, so…he's a bit flirty with girls…but never mind that." Alois laughs. They walk to the last classroom in the section.

"This is Miss Hopkins's Science Class. She's popular with boys, and she's really pretty! And you know…her body is hot…" Alois giggles. Ciel flushes a bit, for he is thinking of studying in class with a hot female teacher.

"So that's basically where all of your classrooms are located. Just some elective classes are different. You just have Tech-Ed left, so let's go." Alois leads Ciel out of the Pod, walks up the stairs to the Second Year's Pod.

"This one is up here cuz first and second years are supposed to take at least a course of Tech-Ed. It's really easy, there, see? Right next to the handrail after you've climbed the stairs. And it's next to the bathrooms." Ciel sees the label Tech-Ed 312.

"Who teaches this?" He asks.

"Um, let's see…Mister Phipps. He's stayed in this academy for like…what, five years already. So he's experienced and he's super smart." Alois replies. "I heard he got about ten different awards for creating robots and writing software's."

"Wow. He's good." Ciel exclaims.

"I know right. So that's basically everywhere you need to know to go. First, go to Art Hall on the Ground floor, then go up here for Tech-Ed, then back down to First Years' Pod for all the remaining periods. Got it?" Ciel nods.

"'Kay, I just need to show you the Cafeteria for lunch. Then you're off for class." They walk down the stairs and turn right to the hallway that led to the Gym. As Ciel enters, he is fascinated. The dining cafeteria is covered with glass, so students could look outside while eating. He sees a baseball field, tennis courts and a running track at the far fields. The grass outside is so green, but the trees are leafless and they lean to one side because winds are still blowing outside. Ahead of Ciel, he sees another pair of metal double-doors.

"That leads to the Gym at the very back of the building. But you don't have P.E, so no need to go in there." Alois explains. "Oh shoot, I forgot about your locker! Lemme see…" He peeks into Ciel's daily schedule.

"Locker 1876, oh so that's near the Organization then." Alois said.

"What's the Organization?" Ciel asks.

"The Organization is basically like the Student Council. Leaderships are picked to represent each year. And also, the members only consist of wealthy students. For example, if you donated the most amount of money to help running this academy, you get to be the Student President." Alois said.

"Oh, so…are you one?" Ciel asks. Alois chuckles.

"Oh no, my parents just pay for me to go to this academy. They don't really care much." He says. As they walk towards the Organization, he adds. "But I tell you: whoever you mess up with, don't quarrel with Sebastian Michaelis." The name in his throat lingers.

"Who's that?" Ciel asks, raising his eyebrow.

"Sebastian is the only son of the Michael Company President. His father is a really wealthy man, and he uses his money to build up the whole building! Sebastian is only a first year, but in reality he's already nineteen! I heard he stayed behind because he got expelled many times due to violence and vandalism." Alois whispers into Ciel's ears. "But if you don't want trouble, don't say anything." He warns. They are about to reach Ciel's locker when Alois points to his right.

"See those wooden double-doors? They lead to the Organization. Only important members are allowed. I've never been in there, but I heard it's interesting, like, a rumor says there's a bar or something…" He says, looking at the double-doors. Ciel glances up and sees "AkuMarine Academy Organization".

Wonder what's in it…? Ciel wondered himself.

"Let's see…1882…1880…1878…aha! Here it is: 1876." Alois points to a blue steel locker across from the Organization. "Alright, ya know how to open it?" Ciel nods. He turns the combination: clockwise to 12, counterclockwise twice to 14, then clockwise again to 76. Then he lifts the notch at the top, it wouldn't budge.

"Oh, I forgot. You have to smack it like this." As he said, he smacks his fist twice onto the surface, and lifts the notch again. Now it yanks open. Ciel seems impressed.

"How do you know?" He asks.

"It's just common sense. Most lockers in this place are old and rusted, so you have to try that. Learned from a couple of fourth years." Alois pulls out his tongue. Ciel puts his backpack into the locker, then gets out a notebook, and a pencil.

"Okay. I'm ready." He says.

"Alright! Good luck with Art! See ya third period!" Alois winks and he runs away towards the main office, leaving Ciel alone. He strolls along the hallway and checks his watch.

"7:35…I still got like…20 more minutes till first period is over." He enters the Art Hall. Turning to his left, he sees the label Art 502. He opens the door.

The room is so huge. The ceiling is high, and lights are attached to it. On the walls Ciel sees loads and loads of artworks pinned onto the wall, mostly by students. At the far wall it is a big window instead that lets Ciel see through to the outer garden view. To his right there is a whiteboard, in front of it a teacher's desk. To his left he sees four tall cabinets standing next to each other, holding drawing utensils he thinks.

Everybody looks at him, and it usually annoys. He tries to block the gazes and finds the teacher's desk. He walks up to a woman who is sitting in front of her computer, typing data. She has bluish white hair, dark purple eyes and she was wearing a white dress, but covered by a blue apron. Ciel spots some of the clay stains on it. She looks up and smiles.

"Hello, how can I help you?" She asks.

"Um, are you…" Ciel looks at his schedule plan, "Miss Blanc? I'm the new student that's transferring today."

"Ohhhh yes, I got an email sent. Alright, Ciel, let's get started. Everyone!" She speaks louder to get everyone's attention, but their eyes are already on Ciel.

"This is Ciel Phantomhive, and he's joining our class. Say hello." Ms. Blanc says. Everyone greets him. A girl with brown hair smiles, and another tall girl with red hair speaks loudest.

"HELLLLOOOO! C'mon Ciel, c'mere!" She beckons him over. Ciel doesn't know what to do besides follow her. He chooses a wooden stool to sit down across from her.

"Hiiii, I'm Grell, this is Alex." She points to a boy with brown curly hair sitting next to her. He waves and smiles. "That's Maddie, and Chloe." She points to the two girls sitting next to Ciel. They said 'hi' to him. Ciel smiles back.

"Where do you transfer from?" Grell asks, interested.

"Um, Victoria High."

"Oh, that's quite far from here. Did you move too?" Brown-haired Maddie asks.

"Yeah. My dad moved for work, so I go here." He answers.

"'Kay. Oi, Shiloh, get your butt over here." Grell beckons a black-haired boy with round glasses over." He looks quite small, and he has a Mexican accent.

"Hey, how are you?" He asks Ciel.

"I'm fine, thanks." Ciel replied. "So what are you guys doing?"

"Drawing Picasso." Alex giggles. "Basically she wants us to think of an abstract and draw it, so no one really has to do anything, just making up some random sketches." Ciel looks down on Alex's paper. It looks like a cow with streams of waterfalls falling from its nose. Maddie hasn't drawn yet, and he looks across to Grell. The girl pulls out her nail polish and put her feet on the table.

Weird…Ciel thinks.

"Hey Grell put your feet down it stinks." Shiloh mocks.

"Boy didn't ya know that I've seen you wearing those socks for like five days already? Maybe it's stinker." Grell snaps back, she tosses the nail polish bottle up and down, enjoying herself.

"Grell, put your feet down." Ms. Blanc comes to their table and tells Grell.

"...No. Why?" Grell doesn't even look at the teacher. She just replies.

"Or do you want a detention? One more and I'll call your parents." She says.

"Just kidding. You don't need to be that serious. Fine." She lowered her feet and clicks her tongue. Ms. Blanc turns to Ciel.

"Ciel, here's your sketchbook for class. Write your name down and you can start drawing like them." She gives Ciel the sketchbook.

"Thanks." He says.

Grell continues to paint her nails. She blows so they dry quicker.

"Hey what's your next period?" She asks.

"I have Tech-Ed." Ciel replies.

"Oh, Mister Phipps? Damn he's smart. I have him sixth period." Grell says. "I'm the best in his class."

"Tsk. The best in only sixth period." Alex says.

"Well but still I'm in the top three." Grell snaps. Then the speaker at the corner of the classroom lets out a 'beep', and a voice came out.

"Excuse for the interruption, but this time all Organization members should be assembled for this year's leadership plan." The female voice says. Grell stands up.

"Whoops I totally forgot, hehe. Anyway see ya!" She pulls her high heels on which she left on the floor a while ago and hops towards the door. "See ya Miss Blanc!" She waves.

"Oh, so Grell is in the Organization?" Ciel asks.

"Yeah, she's rich, so she gets in. She's responsible for the Computer Program System in this school." Alex answers.

"Oh, cool." Ciel says. He opens his sketchbook and starts drawing. He draws his dog at home, with black fur and a red collar. The dog was a huge Alaskan malamute but Ciel considers him cute.

"Ooh it's so pretty! You draw nice." Maddie glances over and says.

"Thank you. It's my dog." Ciel answers. People start to pack-up. Ciel looks at his watch. 7:54. One minute until second period. Then the bell rings. Ciel exits the classroom and he sees students streaming out in the hall. It is much more crowded than Ciel expected. Students wear different clothes, and most of them, Ciel considers luxurious. Well, this is an academy for rich students, anyways.

He finds his way upstairs and enters classroom 312, which is Tech-Ed. He enters. A few students are already there, most of the others are still out in the hall chattering during passing time. The room is filled with computers, about twenty, Ciel thinks, consisting of four rows. In front of the computers is a long whiteboard, with different things written on it: the agenda, objectives, topics, and teacher's notes. There are windows to his left, and Ciel could get a better view, since he is on the second floor.

He walks to the front corner of the lab where the teacher is sitting. He is a tall man, but still he is slim and in shape. He has ear-length shaggy hair and a mole near the left side of his mouth. He looks handsome to Ciel, and he is wearing a white sweatshirt.

"Um, Mister Phipps, I'm Ciel, the new student." He says.

"Oh, hello, Ciel. Let me take your attendance…check." He puts a check on the attendance list. "Alright, so your computer is gonna be…number twenty. Right there." He points to the center computer on the fourth row. The bell rings again.

"Why don't you sit down and I'll introduce you to class." A blond haired boy with a pair of thick-black rectangular glasses approaches them.

"Hey Mister Phipps!" He says and sits down in front of one of the computers in the first row.

"Hey Ronald. Finished your 'Current Event' report yet?" He asks.

"Yep. All done." Ronald beamed. Then he logs on to his computer. Everyone is in their seats now. Mr. Phipps presented Ciel to class.

"Everyone. This is Ciel. He's joining our class today. Be nice." He says. The new students greet Ciel. He spots an older boy next to his seat. Ciel sits down and he greets.

"Hello. I'm Ciel, what's your name?" He asks. The older boy is a weird guy who lets all of his grey bangs to cover all of his eyes. He lets out a grin that sounds too creepy.

"Hiiiii~~~ My name is Undertaker." Then he laughs in that creepy tone again.

"Undertaker? Is that your real name?" Ciel asks, surprised.

"Well, no, but I go by that name. I tell no one my real name cuz it sounds hideous." Undertaker says. Ciel doesn't say anything, he just nods and turns to his computer. The rest of the period, he spends time listening to Mr. Phipps explaining some global issues and the homework for today is to go home and find an event that he is interested in. Third and fourth period pass without any problems. Ciel met Ms-so-called-hot Hopkins and the 'Humorous Aleister' that Alois told him about. They seem friendly to him, and the students really got interested in Science and Math. At his old school, everyone was just sitting around with a bored face and everyday he had to suffer boredom.

At lunchtime, Ciel follows the first years to the cafeteria. He gets sandwiches, some strawberries, and milk. He walks around, trying to find an empty seat, but most of the seats are already occupied. He couldn't find Alois, probably because they have different lunches. Finally he spots a table with nobody in the corner, so he helps himself and sits down. Ciel is in the middle of drinking his milk when a group of first years approach him. He notices Grell because she was wearing the brightest of them all. Then next to her is another short, redheaded girl and a blonde little boy with green eyes. Leading them is a really tall boy, too tall for his age, with black hair and he wears contact lenses that make his eyes look red. He looks sort of cool to Ciel, wearing a white shirt that is unbuttoned to the midpoint of his chest.

"Hey Ciel~~" Grell says. She sits down next to him. The other redheaded girl and the blonde-haired boy also sat down, joining them.

"Hey, my name is Finnian." The blonde boy says.

"I'm Mei-Rin. Are you new here?" The redheaded girl asks Ciel. "Never saw you before."

"Yeah. It's my first day here." Ciel answers. The tallest boy still doesn't sit down.

"Honey, sit down~" Grell tells that guy. Then she looks over to Ciel. "Oh yeah…cuz you are sitting on his seat…"

"Oh, really? I'm so sorry I'll scoot over-" Ciel says embarrassing.

"No need to, I'll sit here." The cool guy sits beside Ciel. He brings his own lunch, just a box of vegetables and his orange juice. Ciel continues eating. The guy just simply observes him. Then Ciel accidentally spilled his milk onto his own shirt that he wipes with his hand. That guy grabs his hand.

"Oi…you should wipe it with a napkin, not your hand." He looks rather annoyed.

"Eh? What are you-" Then the guy licks Ciel's hand with the spilled milk. "Hm…delicious." He says.

"What the-" Ciel snatches his hand back, and accidentally slaps the guy's face and knocks his juice off so that it stains his white shirt . "Oh, I'm so sor-" He apologizes. The guy glances up. He clutches Ciel's chin.

"…what did you just do?" His red eyes pierce through Ciel.

"I…didn't mean to…" Ciel looks terrified. He wouldn't want to mess with anybody on his first day of school.

"Huh, a brat like you, ruining my clothes. Just look at my expensive shirt, it costs thirty bucks! You better pay for it!" Ciel winces.

"That shirt? Thirty dollars? No way! Just who the hell you think you are?" Ciel offends in a loud tone, a little bit louder than usual that the nearby tables could hear. The students start to murmur, pointing and looking at him with a frightening look. A drop of sweat trickles down his throat. Ciel swallowed.

"…Hm? You ask me who I am?" The guy looks really mad and scary right now. He clutches Ciel's shirt. Grell looks alarmed.

"Oh no boy you don't wanna mess with him." She shakes her head pitifully. "It's my bad I didn't introduce him to you first." The crowd around them turn their heads away immediately as Ciel looks at them.

"He's Sebastian Michaelis."

A/N: Tee-hee, it's the first chapter so probably everyone wonders what would happen. I only focused on describing things so I guess I'll explain things more carefully next chapter, so please review or leave your comments below! I'm really looking forward for those reviews!
