        I've been in this carriage for four dreadful days. We have stopped a few times, for the restroom and a break for the horses but, besides that we've been non stop. Since, the distance is so far, we have no time to waste. 

        I must just be excited. I never really felt excitement so, the feeling is quite new to me. I don't know how to deal with it. 

        Ciel must be waiting patiently for me. I can't wait to see all the lovely flowers she has planted, I also can't wait to see all the lively servants she seems so fond of. But, most importantly, I can't wait to see her. 

 ''Master, we have reached our stop.'' I hear William say,interrupting my thoughts.

 ''Okay.''

        William helps me out of the carriage. I don't need help out but, as William said, all nobles rely deeply on the servants for every day things. Him and I would look down upon he said. 

        I look at the hotel William selected. It is indeed a beautiful building. It seems to be made to look like a cottage but, much, much bigger. The hotel resembles a at home feeling. I'm relieved, I am not the best when I am away from my manor. William must've known that and kept that in mind. Having the hotel look welcoming, calms my unsteady nerves.

        We walk into the hotel and immediately, I am greeted by the staff. They quickly escort us to our assigned room and handing us our luggage. What indecent service. I did not bother to tip the lady. 

        The room we reserved is stodgy, unlike the beautiful hotel from the outside. The walls are a simple green, the curtains are red, and the beds are a simple whit covers and bed sheets. The carpet is the same color as the curtains. I expected something more phenomenal. I look into the bathroom and see it's as small as a commaner's outhouse. 

        I look over to William,to see his reaction of the room. And, as expected, he fixes his glasses. Although, he fixes them rather angrily. 

 ''I am so sorry, Master. I did not know this room would be so, so unsightly. Would you like me to request a new room?''

 ''No, this shall do. The hotel seems busy. You won't be able to find an empty room.''

 ''My apologies.''

 ''I am going to take a walk, alone. Relax a little. I should be back in an hour.''

 ''Yes.''

        I walk out of the hotel room and into the lobby, making my way out the hotel. The weather is surely beautiful today. The sun is beating down but, the small wind keeps me cool. 

        I walk down the road, past small shops and stands. Also, many people. More than I anticipated. 

        A boy runs into me, with a bunch of flower seed packages in his arms. He has navy hair, a short, slim figure, and has an eye patch. He also looks intimidating. His eyes might be one of the most bluest eyes I have ever seen. That, is what caught my attention.

 ''I'm sorry.'' I say.

 ''Sorry.'' He says, with a British accent. 

 ''What you in such a hurry for?'' I ask,curiously.

 ''None to your concern.'' He says,walking away.

        What a rude little boy. I hope not all the people here are like him. I wonder if Ciel ever has to deal with people like him. 

        I continue my walk, forgetting all about the little boy. A shop caught my eye though. In the shop's window was a yellow dress, covered in sun flowers. I immediately thought of Ciel. As a gift, I should get it for her. She mentioned in one of her letters, that she fount sunflowers beautiful.

        I walk into the shop and look around a little, before I buy the dress. There is only another person in the store, a red haired women, with big round glasses. She almost reminds me of Meyrin, Ciel has talked about her numerous times. But, I doubt she would be out shopping, her master's ball is in a day. There will be many preparations to be done from a maid. 

        I examine the woman, she seems to be buying a straw hat. How peculiar. Once she leaves, I go back to my shopping. I walk over to the dress and pick it up. I bring it to the front counter to purchase it. I haven't been to the shop in some time, they a less expensive than what I am used to. 

        I walk out of the shop, happily. I am almost certain Ciel will enjoy the dress I purchased her. 

        I continue to walk down the busy town and view the many different shops. Some shops intrigue me, like the toy store that had the stuffed rabbit, wearing an eye patch. What a unique stuffed animal. 

        This town is so lively, living in the middle of no where can get boring. The only people are my parents, servants, and Claude. It's as if I have been disconnected from the world. 

        

        It starts to get dark out so, I start to walk back to the hotel. I am met with the little boy from earlier. This is a great opportunity to tell him how rude he is.

 ''Young boy.'' I address him.

 ''Young?'' He questions.

 ''Yes, you seem about twelve, possibly thirteen.''

 ''I'm sixteen. I may not look so but, I guaranteed you. You ignorant fool.'' 

 ''You sure are a rude boy! Don't you have any respect for other people?''

 ''No.'' He says, walking away.

        I walk after him, making sure I stand my ground against this boy.

 ''Well, you should! You're human just like anyone else,what makes you so special?''

 ''I never said I was anything special, now did I?'' He smirks.

''No, but, you act like you are!''

 ''And what would make you say that?'' 

 ''You're rude! I mean, really rude. I can't stand you!''

 ''With words like that,I get a feeling you hate me. But, I could be wrong, mentioning you are the one who stopped to confront me. And, you are doing a bad job doing so. Now, I have other matters to take care of. I don't have time to waste on a swine like you.''

        This time when he walked away,I let him go. He is one strange boy. 

        His face was always stern and serious. He seemed almost like a noble man who went through a tragic past. His eyes may seemed a beautiful shade a blue but, at a second glance, they seem almost lifeless. 

        There is no need to worry over such silly things, I need to get back to the hotel. The rest of the walk to the hotel was silent and peaceful. 

        I walked into the hotel and walk into the hotel room. Dinner was already prepared and ready to be eaten. I know William didn't make it but, it does look delicious. I gladly eat my dinner and get ready for bed.

        Tomorrow, I am seeing Ciel. Ciel Phantomhive.
