Running up to Ciel's bedroom door, Fangurl knocked for five straight minutes calling to Ciel ever so often. Moaning, the boy climbed out of bed and answered the door. "What could it possibly be Fangurl?" he asked in an irritated tone.
"It's time for school Ciel," Fangurl responded cheerfully. She sported the uniform for their school, which consisted of a black t-shirt, knee high socks and a dark purple plaid skirt.
"What are you talking about?" Ciel questioned.
"It's the first day of school Ciel, remember? Sebastian was supposed to remind you last night," Fangurl said.
Just then, Fangurl's cell phone rang. "Hello?" she asked, not even bothering to look at the caller ID.
"Hehheh, good morning my dear Fangurl," came Undertaker's voice from the other end of the line.
"Hi Undertaker," Fangurl replied smiling really big. She twirled her ponytail in her fingers as she felt her heart pound faster.
"Are you and Phantomhive coming to the bus stop anytime soon?" he wondered.
"We'll be there as soon as possible, make sure no one takes my spot if you get on before me," Fangurl instructed.
"Will do, bye Fangurl," Undertaker said.
"Bye Undertaker," Fangurl echoed before hanging up. She held the cell phone close to her chest and sighed dreamily. "Well c'mon Ciel, don't wanna be late."
The girl picked up Ciel and carried him into the bathroom. In a flash, she threw his clothes on him, while she applied one final spray of perfume onto her neck. "Why do you wear that God forsaken stuff?" Ciel questioned as he lightly coughed and fanned the air.
"Because Undertaker likes it," Fangurl answered. Ciel sighed at Fangurl's hopeless attempt of getting their friend to like her, and changed into his khakis and chose a white shirt to wear and a dark purple tie to accompany it.
"Now remember Fangurl, behave yourself today. We don't want to traumatize the teachers just yet before they gets to know you," Ciel Phantomhive reminded as they walked to the bus stop.
"When do I ever not behave myself?" Fangurl questioned. "Ooh, look, we made it just in time for the bus."
The two ran and climbed onto the bus. Fangurl hurried to see if anyone was sitting in her spot on the bus. She always sat in the same spot beside Undertaker every day. Everyone knew that that was Fangurl's spot and no one dared touch it, out of fear of what she'd do. Luckily today, there was no one in her spot so she quickly sat down beside Undertaker.
"Are you excited for today?" he asked.
"Yeah, I've been up since like three because I was so excited," Fangurl responded.
"So what'd you do for four hours?" Undertaker wondered.
"Well I prank called Claude and Trancy, ate a Twinkie, wrote some poetry, and then I threw things into the blade of the lawnmower," Fangurl explained.
Undertaker cackled. "You never cease to amaze or amuse me my dear Fangurl," he stated.
The girl couldn't help but blush at her friend's statement. The bus stopped a few blocks away and picked up Alois Trancy and Claude Faustus. They sat down in front of Fangurl and Trancy then asked Ciel loudly "Could you please explain to me why you called me at three in the morning?!"
"Actually that was me," Fangurl interjected.
"Why did you call me so early?!" Trancy yelled.
"Well geez Trancy I didn't think you'd be so bitchy the first time a girl willingly called your house," Fangurl stated bluntly. Ciel grinned at her slightly and Undertaker burst out laughing.
"Oh and I see you're still wearing your short shorts. Seems you haven't yet grasped the reality that no one enjoys seeing you in those," she added a bit loudly.
Trancy narrowed his gaze at Fangurl before turning around to face the front of the bus. "God, she's still annoying as hell," Trancy stated to Claude.
"The more gay you get, the more annoying I get," Fangurl challenged.
The bus stopped near the Demon Realm of town and picked up Sebastian Michaelis, Fangurl and Ciel's best friend. He sat down in the seat next to Ciel. "So inform me on what I've missed this morning," he requested.
"Well Fangurl pranked called Trancy, he's pissed about it, and still wearing short shorts, and apparently Fangurl's annoying as hell still," Ciel explained.
"So nothing really major?" Sebastian asked.
"No, not really," Ciel said.
The bus's final stop was a few blocks away from the Demon Realm; the Shinigami Realm. These two races didn't get along too well together, except for a few people, and two of them were about to get on the bus. Grell Sutcliff and William T. Spears stepped onto the bus wearing their usual glasses and attire. William dressed in all black, while Grell dressed in all red.
They were accompanied by Eric Slingby, Alan Humphries, and Ronald Knox. William and Grell sat down in the seat behind Fangurl and Undertaker, while Eric, Alan, and Ronald made their way to the back of the bus to begin their usual verbal arguments with the Demon clique. As the three walked by, they all looked and smiled at Fangurl.
"How was your summer Grell?" Fangurl asked turning around to the flamboyant shinigami.
Grell Sutcliff was a male by birth, but a cross-dressing girl by choice. He wore attachable eye lashes, lip stick, make up, and even wore the girls required uniform instead of the boys. Everyone called Grell a she except for teachers when they first met her, and Sebastian and Ciel, they called Grell an 'it'. "Oh it was fun, Will and I went to the pool where I showed off my new bikini I got," she said flashing a grin of her shark teeth.
"It was one of the most embarrassing days of my life," William muttered.
"Yet you couldn't keep your eyes off me," Grell reminded before smirking. William sighed, pushed his glasses up, and looked out the window. "Sebby would've liked it too; maybe I should wear it to school sometime?"
"I'd rather you spare the world from permanent scarring," Sebastian decided.
Finally they all arrived at a gate which opened up and revealed a tall cathedral like building; Kuroshitsuji High School. "This is gonna be an awesome year," Fangurl said as she and the others walked to first block.
She was bumped into by Angela Blanc who was walking with her half-brother Ashe Landers. "What where you're going Fan-nerd," Angela said.
"Come at me bitch, come at me!" Fangurl yelled.
"Fangurl, remember what I said about not getting into stuff," Ciel reminded.
"But Ciel, she's being herself," Fangurl whined.
"We all know how bitchy Angela is, but what can we do?" Ciel asked.
"Well we could always –"
"No, we're not doing any of your ideas Fangurl. They always get us into trouble," Ciel remarked.
"They never do. What gets us into trouble is that we always get caught," Fangurl corrected.
"Yes and that too," Ciel reluctantly agreed.
"Now then, whose class did we get this year?" Fangurl asked looking at her schedule. At Kuro High, students only had three classes a day; a main class, an elective class, and athletics or gym, and lunch.
"Looks like we have Miss Durless," Sebastian informed looking down at his schedule as well. "Then after that, I have a martial arts class."
"I've got business and administration as my elective," Ciel added. "What did you get Fangurl?"
"I'm taking choir," Fangurl stated. The two looked at her.
"I didn't know you could sing," Sebastian said.
"Oh yeah, I've been singing since I was younger. I actually would have tried out for the Voice if I didn't have a criminal background," Fangurl informed.
"That is true; I've heard her sing before," Grell put in. "She's got a beautiful voice."
"Thanks Grell," Fangurl said smiling. "Now I think we should at least get to class on time one day this year."
Once everyone was seated in their classroom, the teacher stood up and introduced herself. "Hello class, welcome back to Kuroshitsuji High, my name is Miss Durless, but you may call me Madam Red, everyone does. Now I'm going to take roll and I may mispronounce your name, so I will apologize upfront for that. It'll take me a little bit to get used to all of your names." She started from the top. "Angela Blanc."
"Aww dammit!" Fangurl exclaimed. Several giggles immerged from the classroom. "Why, why every year must I be forced to be put into the same atmosphere with that crazy bitch?!"
"Fangurl, remember what I said about controlling yourself?" Ciel asked calmly.
"Yes," she replied.
"Well control yourself now!" Ciel yelled.
"Okay," Fangurl answered.
"I'm here," Angela said to Madam Red.
"Next, I have a Claude Faustus," Madam Red listed.
Claude raised his hand from the back of the classroom. "Ciel, I really wanna say something right now," Fangurl whispered.
"Save it for lunch Fangurl," he instructed.
"Next is an Alan Humphries," Madam Red called.
"That's me," he muttered from beside Eric as he slightly raised his hand and blushed at the faces turning towards him. Fangurl turned her head and sent him a friendly grin. The brunette smiled shyly and looked down at his desk.
"Ronald Knox?" Madam Red asked looking around. The Shinigami slightly raised his arm towards the other back half of the classroom.
"Ashe Landers," Madam Red stated.
"I am here as well," the white haired angel replied raising his arm.
"God help us all," Fangurl muttered under her breath before being nudged in the side by Ciel.
After calling Sebastian's name, Lizzie's name, and Ciel's name, the whole class fell silent. Would this finally be the year when Fangurl revealed to everyone what her actual name was? She'd been keeping her actual name a secret since grade school, and practically no one remembered what her real name was.
"Fangurl Phantomhive," Madam Red called. Apparently not this year would it be revealed. "Did I read that right?"
"Right here and yes you did read that right," Fangurl signaled waving her fingers at the teacher.
"Fangurl, would you mind telling me why you gave them my last name for you?" Ciel questioned.
"Well they wanted to know where I was staying and I said with Ciel Phantomhive's family, so I guess they just put your name on my registration list," Fangurl laughed.
Sebastian saw the first of Ciel's stress twitches happen. "And so they begin again," the demon muttered looking at his best friend.
"Eric Slingby . . . William Spears . . . Grell Sutcliff . . . Alois Trancy . . . and um, Undertaker?" Madam Red finished. "Good, now that I have your names, why don't we go around the room and tell everyone something about themselves that we don't know."
"We've all been in the same class together since elementary, there's really nothing new to learn about each other," Fangurl stated.
The Shinigamis murmured in agreement. "Well, I've never had any of you before, and I'd really like to know a lot about you," Madam Red said.
"Hey it's your class," Fangurl replied leaning back in her seat.
Madam Red stood and wrote on the board: "1) name 2) best friend 3) three interesting facts 4) something you'd like to accomplish this year."
The students took out pencils and paper and began to write. After about ten minutes, everyone had finished. "Now, who would like to go first? I'd like you to come up to the front of the classroom." Not a single hand shot in the air. "Alright then, I guess I'll choose," Madam Red decided looking down at the roster. "Let's see here, Alan, why don't you go first?"
The brunette Shinigami stood up slowly and walked to the front of the room. Holding the paper tightly in his hands, Alan swallowed, glanced out into the crowd and saw Eric casually smile back at him. He looked at Fangurl and saw her grin and give him a small thumbs up. This helped him relax a little as he read "My name is Alan Humphries, and my best friend is Eric Slingby. Three interesting things about me are I love to read any kind of book, I collect souls with my fellow Shinigamis, and for a long time I had a cancer called Thorns of Death. Something that I'd like to accomplish this year is to overcome my fear of being an introvert."
After he finished reading, Alan scurried back to the back of the classroom and quickly sat down as he felt his face turn red. "Very good Alan, alright Grell, why don't you go next dear," Madam Red suggested to the flamboyant Shinigami.
Grell skipped up to the front of the classroom. "My name is Grell Sutcliff and my best friend in the whole world is none other than William T. Spears. Three interesting things about me are that I love very attractive men, and I don't care whether they're demons or shinigamis, you hear that Sebastian?" she turned to the demon with day-dreamy eyes.
"Please just read what you wrote," Sebastian requested, not changing the look on his face.
"I also am in the drama team, and collect souls with my other friends Eric, Alan, Ronald, and Will. Something I'd like to accomplish this year is either win Sebastian Michaelis' heart, or try out for the cheerleading squad. I'd like to one day get married and have children with my husband," Grell finished.
"That's a biological impossibility and you know it," Trancy called from the back of the classroom as Grell sat back down.
"Shut up Trancy, Grell can do what she wants to do," Fangurl defended. "Now sit there and be quiet before I ring you up by your freaky-ass booty shorts."
The Shinigamis and Ciel smirked at Fangurl's comment. "Fangurl, why don't you go next," Madam Red stated.
"Okay," Fangurl replied standing up and walking to the front.
She looked out among the class and waved at Ciel and Sebastian. They waved back, but with annoyed looks. "My name is Fangurl Phantomhive and my best friends are Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis. Three interesting things about me are that I am obsessed with attractive Asian guy teenagers, I sing in choir, and no one has ever learned what my real name is. Something I'd like to accomplish this year is finally getting rid of my twin sister for good since the little brat is graduating, and one day I'd like to get thrown out of every country in Europe at least once."
"You have a twin sister?" Ronald Knox asked.
"Yes," the whole class answered.
"Where've you been for the past like ten years?" Trancy questioned.
"Fangurl has a twin sister named Shania who skipped a grade and is a senior this year," William informed.
"It's freaky, the two look identical, but they have polar opposite personalities," Eric added.
"Shania's quiet, smart, calm, collective, and friendly, and Fangurl is, well, Fangurl," Ciel said. "And she's got a deep hatred for Shania because apparently everyone likes her more than Fangurl."
"Well duh, have you met both girls?" Claude piped in.
"No one asked for your two cents Faustus," Fangurl snapped as she sat back down next to Ciel. "Do I have to behave myself around those freaks any longer? Trancy and Claude are about to cause my 'other side' to come out Ciel."
"Just keep calm Fangurl and your 'other side' should die back down," Ciel suggested. Fangurl grunted but did as she was told, crossing her arms across her chest.
