Kuroshitsuji-In High School

The "Ball"

Drecta and I arrived at the ball together, I was wearing a nice white ball gown with black flowers randomly placed near the bottom of the dress. Drecta was wearing a black suit, a lot like Mr. Michaelis's but a little different in that it was missing the tailcoat.

Actually, now that I think about it, she looked more like Mr. Spears.

What a dreadful thing, Drecta why won't you let me dress you up!

I looked around at the ballroom, (which in this case, was actually a ballroom...this school has everything) there was a line of tables next to the wall with refreshments. That is where I noticed most of Pandora's Butler hanging out.

There was also a little stage near the edge of the room with a microphone on it with a piano next to it. That reminds me, isn't Will of the Abyss supposed to be here?

While I was deep in thought, Mr. Michaelis had walked over to greet us. Sutcliff was clinging to him desperately trying to convince him to dance. Might I say, it was a complete failure.

"Bassy~ Please?~ Dance with me one time...at least one time...then I'll leave you alone for the rest of the night!" he pleaded. 

Mr. Michaelis completely ignored his existence and grabbed my hand.

"Welcome, Mi'lady," as he said this he grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips to place a kiss.

I blushed slightly and a mere "thank you" was all I could manage to say.

I noticed he had a bracelet with a cat on his wrist.

"Uhm, Mr. Michaelis, Did you always have that bracelet on?" I asked him.

"No, It was given to me by a student on Teacher Appreciation Day," he smiled.

There was such a day? I should've gotten him something too! Well, not that he'd ever actually use it...

"BASSY! Don't ignore me!" the pour teacher pouted, still clinging to the other.

Drecta, who placed her hand on Sutcliff's shoulder, whispered something in his ear. He immediately stood up and ran away to some far away place. This girl has magical abilities. I wonder what she said...

I mentally thanked her as she walked away to go do her own thing.

Piano music started to play and I looked over to the stage. Will had gotten here and she started to sing, with Cheshire as her pianist.

"Would you care to dance?" Mr. Michaelis asked me.

Me? I looked around to see if he might be asking someone else.

"I'm asking you Miss Heartworthy."

"Ehhh? Really?" I said surprised.

"Is that a 'no' then?" he questioned me.

"No! I mean yes! I mean...Yes, I'd love to dance with you." I smiled at him, maybe a little too much.

He took my hand and lead me out to the dance floor.

He placed one hand on by back and the other was still holding my hand. I put my hand on his shoulder and blushed furiously.

This was so embarrassing!

I hope he doesn't say anything about my red face, that would just make it worse.

This reminds me of the time I thought he was going to kiss me...

Why am I thinking about things that will only make me blush more?!

He smiled his usual grin. He is too handsome!
