Sebastian finally found his friend Gaston. "Hey, Gaston! I need to steal you away from the ladies for just a moment, please." "Dude what are you doing, those chicks were really digging...oh hey did your little master leave you already? How nice, but please enjoy the party away from me." His friend was asking in a pleading way, knowing that if Sebastian shows up, he would lose most of the ladies. "Fine, but first, do you know who they were?" "They? Oh, the little mermaid and her friend?" "Yes, them, do you know their names or what town they live in? Do they," "Whoa, whoa, hold up Sebastian." "Please use real names, Tom, no one is around us anyways." "Jake, my man, I did get some info, but only about the mermaid, Nancy. She stayed away from alcoholic beverages explaining that they were not yet 18. I asked her, if "they" were referring to her boyfriend and her, she explained like she was proud that people thought that Ciel was her boyfriend, when in reality 'he' is a she. Nancy explained that Ciel was just cross-dressing, so people won't recognize her. Naturally, I wanted to know more since that was one top-notch costume, but she didn't say anymore and excused herself." "That person, Ciel, did have a great costume, she even imitated his voice pretty well, but she messed up on one very important piece of the costume." A smile crept onto Jake's face as he recalled his time with her. "What did she get wrong?" "Hers were green, like looking into the forest, full of mystery." "Ok now, don't get poetic on me and remember her friend said that they are underage, who knows how old they are Jakey."

Jake and Tom have been best buds since elementary school. At first, Tom got all the attention and the girls, while Jake consistently studied and kept to himself. But that all changed the older they got. Jake began to take part in school activities while Tom brushed up on his school work. They became like an inseparable duo. Now in University, Jake is studying to be a teacher, being on a scholarship he was granted an early internship teaching Freshman in highschool. While Tom had to leave school to take over his family business.
The first day back at high school brought back many memories for him, although it wasn't the school he had gone to, it was about the same size and had a similar layout, lost in his memories while checking out the school, he walked right into a girl with a side braid, glasses, fair complexion, petite form, uniform nice and neatly put together. Taking her all in as they got up, he caught a glimpse of her eyes before she pushed up her glasses and excused herself. She walked away without paying any attention to the tall man she had bumped into, therefore she didn't know he was following behind her. Not many people have green eyes in this part of the country, most have brown or gray eyes. 'She has the same height as Ceil and her friend did say she didn't want to be recognized. But if she dresses like this at school and goes all out into dressing as the character she is to portray then she doesn't even need to dress up as a guy,' musing at his own thoughts he let out a chuckle. 'What am I even thinking...."Nancy, did you finish your homework, let me see it please, or better yet Emma, yours would be best." "What are you saying, I do well in my homework, well at least I get it done, unlike others. (Nancy said then stuck out her tongue as she handed her homework to Brittnay.) "Guys, you do know that a teacher in training is starting this week, right? What happens if he or she, is already here and you are talking about copying each other's homework?" "Loosen up Emma, it's not like we are screaming it and it's not as if we do it often." They continued talking while getting seated waiting for class to start.
'Nancy, that was Ciel's friends' name. Emma seems to be the mature one out of the group and Brittnay the slacker, so Emma must be Ciel.' Clearing his thoughts, Jake briskly walked into the room and stood tall behind the desk. All noise ceased as all eyes were on him, "Good morning everyone. My name is Mr. Reed and I will be teaching you English this month. Mrs. Emmerson is still on school grounds if you ever need to ask her something you might be too embarrassed to ask me about or to scold me." Everyone in the classroom loosened up as Mr. Reed seemed to be a friendly teacher.
