Polaroids

Clubs

Chapter 3

Clubs

The sun peeked through the trees, and the birds chirped their morning song to wake those light sleepers from their slumber. Although one those sleepers was already up. Ciel had woken up on his own, right before the chime of his alarm clock a whole hour and a half early. Ciel was relatively good at getting up with his alarm but today was different. He was dressed and ready and it was just now 6 o'clock. Ciel had never watched the sun rise before and it's safe to say he enjoyed it very much. The reddish orange shines through the trees in harmony with the birds falling out. It was like something off a movie screen.

He took his camera and snapped a few polaroids of it through his open window. Nothing could compare to seeing it with the naked eye in person, but something to remember will preserve for as long as the Polaroid lasts. He pinned it to the board, smiling at all of his assorted photos. He had almost filled up another board. With how much he used it he's surprised his room isn't covered in polaroids; all over the walls, nature coming to life through his photos. It made Ciel so happy. Ciel set his camera back up on the desk but decided to take the sketch pad with him. Maybe Sebastian would be interested?

Sebastian.

Surprisingly that is the first time his name had come into Ciel's mind that morning. His brain was completely filled to the brim with him the night before. Ciel's body flooded with excitement once again. In only a few hours he would see Sebastian again. Maybe they could meet up before class and chat? It was happening again. That overwhelming feeling of knowing he has a friend. He kind of feels it makes him too excited. This must be special then.

The air smelled of eggs, bacon and toast. Mom was always up bright and early to cook an amazing breakfast. So Ciel grabbed his bag and went down the stairs. He sat up at the island as his mother turned around with a plate of fruit.

"My, my, you're up and dressed early, any reason?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Ah, just eager to start the day." Ciel smiled.

"Well, eat up, breakfast is important."

"I'm not super hungry actually..." Ciel stomach was all over the place. Butterflies bouncing around.

"Well, eat something, I don't want you getting to school and being hungry."

"I suppose I could have some toast and jam..."

"You know I heard breakfast helps you stay awake for classes."

"And where did you hear that?"

"Hm, somewhere, but food in your system will give you the energy you need to focus. And most importantly, do your best." She kissed his forehead as he spread the jam over his toast.

"I know...did you happen to boil some water?"

"For tea? Why yes I did. Your thermos is in the dishwasher if you would like to make it to go." Ciel took a bite from the toast and got up off the chair. He grabbed the cup and poured the boiling water in.

"Might have to, I have to go, don't want to be late." Ciel dropped a tea bag in and dipped it up and down before putting the lid over the thermos.

"Walking today are we? Be safe and have a good day alright?"

"Yeah, mom. Love you." Ciel threw a jacket on.

"Love you too. Ah, don't talk to stranger! Don't get into anyone's car!"

"I got it mama don't worry." Ciel opened the door and waved his last goodbye before leaving out the door and closing it behind him.
