So, this is my first time with a One piece fanfic! Just so you know I really am doing this for fun, because I was just watching an episode today and went, 'Hey, why not?' So here you guys go! I own nothing by the way.

:/

The bell rang and students immediately got out of their chairs, shuffling around for their books and other personal belongings before stuffing them into their bag and leaving class. It was finally noon and it was only a matter of minutes before the lunchroom became full and occupied, giving everyone a very good reason to get their as quick as possible before the food went cold from waiting in line.

Luffy was the first to enter the hallway, his old sandals skidding out of his classroom as he sprinted towards the stairwell. His teacher poked his head out the door and called out to him in anger. "Slow down ya damn kid, and no running in the hallway!" He said, but only sighed as he watched his student disappear without any interest to his warning. His other students frantically scrambled past him trying to make it down to the lunch room as well, some meeting up with friends while others horsed around in the halls. He rolled his eyes and slid the door shut after everyone left, going back to his desk to grade the papers he had just collected.

Going down the last flight of stairs Luffy had to push his way past a few others to get into the cafeteria. He wasn't one of the first ones there to his disappointment, but he was certainly one of the lucky ones to get in line just before it got to long. With a wide grin he went to pick up a clean tray and examined the large menu above the food bar, scanning through it quickly before his mouth started to water.

"Oh man, so much to choose from! Guess i'll just have to try them all!" Luffy says with a chuckle before licking his lips.

"I don't think you can do that." Came a voice from behind him, turning the teens head almost instantly. He gasped seeing the familiar face, bright orange hair neatly tide up in a stylish ponytail.

"Nami!" He excitedly waves. "I didn't know you came here! How come I didn't see you out in the field this morning with everyone else when we got our stuff?!"

The female sighed and crossed her arms. "I was in the building already with Ussop. We got here a little later than most so by the time we actually arrived the court yard was seriously full. We ended up getting everything we needed inside but by the time we finished we had to get to class." She clicked her tongue and scowled, angrily picking up her own tray before scooting past the other to get her food. "My home room teacher is horrible! All he does is correct us for every little thing we do wrong and smokes this large cigar that surprisingly doesn't set off any of the smoke alarms. Honestly, how can he even bring that in without getting caught?!"

Luffy cocked his head in question. "Who did you end up with?"

"His names Smoker. I was told he was a strict teacher but come on! I was chewing gum and was already given a warning for detention!"

"Wow, really? That stinks. Well I got stuck with that 'Mingo guy Ace told me about."

"Mingo?" Nami asked, thinking back on the list of courses she was given in the morning with the teachers she would have. "You mean Doflamingo? You got him?"

Luffy nodded "Yeah, that guy...Wait, when did you get in front of me?"

"I heard he was kinda strict to." She continued. "He's an English teacher if I remember correctly. Or was it history?"

Luffy frowned. "Seriously I was here first Nami, don't change the subject." He spoke trying to move past her, only to be cut off by her slender arm as she jokingly reached for an apple in the snack basket near by to block his path.

"Either way I have him after lunch, I should probably throw out the packet of gum I have in my bag before getting there to. It's upstairs on the third floor, right?" The line moved up a little and she reached for another small bin containing some silver ware, blocking Luffy again as he tried to sneak past her. She snickered seeing the angry scowl come across his face.

"Nami, move aside! This isn't funny, I'm starving!"

Nami laughed and took another step forward. "Oh relax, your still going to get food. I won't be long anyway, i'm just gonna have a bowl of ramen and some juice."

The other huffed and muttered under his breath. "Fine whatever..."

When it was finally her turn Nami took what she wanted and went to go pay at the register ahead, telling Luffy she would save a seat for him after he was done. Luffy looked down into the glass in front of him with today's food choices, eyeing them all thoroughly before holding out his tray to the lunch lady.

"Give me a scoop of everything!"

The lunch lady narrowed her gaze and blankly stared at him. "I can only give you one choice."

"What, one choice? Why?" he wined.

"We have a policy here kid, so either pick somethin or step aside for the others."

Luffy let out an annoyed groan and angrily pointed at a slice of lasagna, staring down the old woman as she placed it on a paper plate before handing it off to him. Another five minutes went by as he waited in another line to pay for his food before he went to look for his friend, spotting her familiar orange hair as she sat at a round table in the back next to his other friend Ussop. He happily waved to the both of them as he approached, sitting down across from the two.

Ussop seemed to have brought his own lunch. Luffy, along with his other group of friends, knew very well how observant he could be from time to time when stuff like this happened. He probably knew how crowded things would get around lunch time and decided to avoid the hustle before it was to late, which was a pretty good move seeing how drastic their surroundings changed as the cafeteria was now full of various students, chatting loudly at other tables as they ate disused among others.

After a large bite of his sandwich Ussop swallowed and looked over at the other happily. "Hey Luffy, it's been a while! Glad to see you still haven't gotten rid of that old hat of your's."

Luffy laughed and put down his blue bag after taking off his shoulder. "Yep, and it's nice to see that you come to this school to! I met up with Sanji and Zoro earlier out in the field and we all got our ID's together, for some reason though Sanji's photo didn't come up so he had to stay behind and take another one while everyone else went to class. Oh, and I also saw that 'Trafal guy somewhere outside, but he was to far away to see me."

Ussop popped open his orange soda can and took a sip. "Law's here? I didn't think someone like him would want to come to a school like this one."

"Yeah it is pretty weird." Nami says. "Maybe you should ask him why he came here of all places the next time you see him."

"What, no way. That guy can be terrifying sometimes, the last thing I want to do is get on his bad side."

Luffy shrugged and quickly snatched the apple away from Nami's tray. "I don't see the problem in asking."

"Hey!" Nami went to retrieve the fruit but he had already put in his mouth and started to chew. She clenched her fist and comically hit him on the head. "I was going to save that for later you idiot! I have to take the bus home and it's a half our ride!"

The thief cried out in pain and held on to the forming lump above his head. "Ow! Ok, i'm sorry! I'm just really hungry, that funny looking lunch lady hogged all the food to herself and wouldn't give me what I wanted."

Ussop snickered. "Let me guess, you asked for everything?" Luffy nodded. "Then of course she's not going to give you everything, it's a strict policy that every student here gets the exact same proportion of food. If you were given more food than everyone else it just wouldn't be fair." The male teen groaned in both pain and disappointment.

So this was what it felt like to actually starve..

"Anyways, to change the subject who has what next." Nami asked with a huff, picking up her fork and poking at her bowl of ramen.

Ussop put down his soda and reached into his green bag, covered in various types of pins and a small key-chain with a pirate ship attacked to the side. He pulled out his scheduled and looked over it. "I have someone named Rayleigh next. You?"

"As I told Luffy, I have Doflamingo."

Luffy scratched the back of his head trying to think of his. "Uh, I think I have Crocodile. What room is he in again?"

"I think he's upstairs on the first floor near the nurses office." said Ussop before letting out a deep sigh. "It looks like we won't be attending any of the same classes any time soon. "

Nami leaned over to look over the his scheduled. "Oh wait, we have the same Chemistry class together, and I think we have the same gym class as well."

"Wow really? Cool! Luffy, do you have gym tomorrow last period?"

Luffy stuck his fork into his lasagna and shoved the entire thing into his mouth, swallowing it in a matter of seconds. "No, I have it third period with Zoro. Speaking of which, were is he anyways?"

The three of them looked around for a bit before Nami frowned and pulled out her phone. "He probably got lost coming to lunch. Geez, does he even know the difference between North and South? I bet he didn't even bother to read the map put on the wall down in the main entrance. I'll text him to see if he's even in the building still."

Ussop put down his scheduled and took another bite of his sandwich. "I wouldn't be surprised if someone picked him and gave him to the fire department as a lost child. I know he's big and all but he can't even go to the bathroom without finding his way to the park by mistake, and that place is miles from were we are now."

Luffy chuckled. "That's true."

"Hey Nami, after were done can you help me find the chemistry room before our next period? I don't want to get lost or be late again like home room today."

The female nodded at him. "Yeah, ok. That mean's you have to get to class yourself Luffy. Promise me you won't be late or anything."

"What why?"

"Because I know your going to try and beg others for there food and end up being late for class. Just promise me you'll get there." With a skeptical look, Nami watched him agree with an audible grunt and lean back into his chair, arms crossed. "Good." She confirmed. "And if you get to class on time for the rest of the week i'll make sure to have Sanji make you a nice steak after school. Sound good?"

Luffy perked up and faced her with wide eyes, a trickle of drool in the corner of his mouth. "Wow, really!? Alright I will! Promise!"

Nami smiled. "Great. And if you break that promise it'll cost you 500B."

"What, 500!? No fair!" Luffy protested, Nami shrugged.

"To late to back out of it now, the deal is sealed. So just do as your told and it's all good."

A small pause went by as the teen thought about it, placing his elbows on the table and letting out a small smirk afterwards. "Alright fine." He agreed.

Ussop pulled out a bag of chips out of his lunch bag and popped one into his mouth. "Cool. Now that that's done we have 15 minutes left to finish, so let's hurry up and eat before the hallways are occupied again. I hate moving around in such a large crowd."

Nami agreed with a hum. "Fair enough." She says before finally starting on her lunch with a small slurp.

*(*)*(*)*(*)*First Day*(*)*(*)*(*)*

At the end of the day Luffy went strait home. He opened the door with an ongoing groan and didn't stop until he finally planted himself on the couch face first onto a pillow, his tone now muffled.

Blond hair poked itself out from the kitchen around the corner and smiled seeing the new comer. "Ace! Luffy's back!" Sabo called out cheerfully and casually made his way over to the other. He watched in silence as Luffy continued to moan and grunt into the pillow in agony, the jacket of his school uniform carelessly tossed to the side along with his backpack. Sabo put a hand on his hip and smirked. "So," he started, his eyes boring down onto the lifeless figure bellow him. "How was your day?"

Luffy stopped groaning and lifted his head for only a second. "Fine." He said quickly before going back into the pillow. Sabo cocked his head curiously and continued.

"Got any homework?" He was given a small grunt. "Did you see any of your friends?"

Another grunt.

"What about your teachers?"

A very long moan.

"Was today that bad?"

After that, Luffy finally sat up and lazily hung his head back over the large red, 'L' shaped couch. He looked over at his brother and sighed. "I barley had lunch today, my homeroom teacher sucks, and I dropped all the candy I bought last week on my way home."

Sabo huffed and looked over at the wall clock above the flat screen TV. "That doesn't explain why your an hour late. Did you stay after?"

Luffy looked away. "I got off on the wrong stop and had to walk the rest of the way home."

Sabo's smile decreased. "I'm sorry to hear that." He said sincerely. Luffy could tell by his tone he was a little worried from the extra wait. "If it makes you feel any better were having pizza again tonight. I would order take out but there still renovating that Chinese place you and Ace like."

The younger sat up and smiled. "Can I choose the toppings this time? Ace got to do it last time and his taste in pizza toppings are terrible."

"He only put broccoli in the pizza because he knows you already hate vegetables as they are."

Luffy rolled his eyes. "Yeah well, he's still bad." He yawned and stretched his legs. "I'm going to change. I hate these stupid uniforms, why would anyone were something like this?"

Sabo examined the white and blue clothing. "Ugh, your right. It looks even worse than when I ordered it. But you can bare with it until graduation right? I mean, Ace has to wear some kind of Salmon like uniform and you don't see him complaining."

"Ace has to wear a pink uniform!" Questioned Luffy before he went into a laughing fit, clutching his stomach for support as he rolled himself onto his back as picture the said spoken image.

"I said Salmon!" Sabo tried to correct, but to no avail the other continued with his outburst. With a silent chuckle he picked up the home phone and started dialing into it, going off back into the kitchen as he did. "I'm going to order now so tell me what you want before I do it for you."

In between his fit Luffy asked for his liking while heading up stairs to his room, unaware of the confused look Ace gave him as he passed by.

After a few minutes of calming down he took off his uniform and placing it aside for the next day, plopping himself on top of his bed with some left over chuckles. He then took off his hat and held it out in front of him, looking it over with a small smile as he felt the straw like texture. "Maybe tomorrow I'll find you." He thought to himself, closing his eyes as he slowly started to drift off into a silent lull.
