Oh 100%. Malcer is probably going to spend a fair amount of time [i]menacing[/i] this man once he picks up on how much of a piece of hot garbage he is... if that wasn't perfectly clear already. Malcer was a bit of a self-absorbed loner in his first life, so he might have just assumed she drifted away like some people naturally do, but upon meeting her and Barthalomew at the theme park? Ciel must have come across rather different. [i]But[/i] Malcer is rather aggressively protective of those he does consider friends, so Bartholomew is not likely to endear himself to him.

Oh yeah, Ciel would have come off as [I]drastically[/I] different. Before Bartholomew, Ciel was much more cheerful and a little more outgoing. She wouldn't have been the type to just drift away when it came to her friends and family. At the theme park, she would have been quiet, self-deprecating, and apologetic to Malcer. She probably have apologized to him for a normal conversations they had in the past, with her thinking that she insulted him somehow, while Malcer clearly remembers it as a normal conversation.

As for Bartholomew, it might have been obvious that he was a piece of hot garbage from the start. I imagine he tries to endear himself to her friends at first, while subtly undercutting them with backhanded compliments. When he sees that the friends see him for who he truly is, he stops trying to make them like him and simply focuses on Ciel. 

Now that I think more about it..I imagine Bartholomew went behind Ciel's back and sent a message from Ciel's phone/email to all of her friends. While pretending to be her, he basically tried to tell everyone that Ciel doesn't need them anymore and that she was never going to speak to them again. 

The potential giveaways that it wasn't Ciel writing those messages? 

1. Bartholomew tried to make Ciel sound flippant and uncaring so that her friends and family would be angry and not want to speak with her anymore. 

2. He used emojis in the message when Ciel doesn't use emojis for serious messages like that.
