Bonney's POV
Today is marks the end of my first month in this school. I managed to fit in pretty well, I'm pretty close to this Biology genius with the weirdest name; Trafalgar Law. His friends are cool too but I'm not good buddies with most of my class or the cohort. Well, better than that ghost girl Perona. She hardly has any friends, which makes me pity her but I'd rather beat up myself inside than try to make friends with her. She is seriously creepy sometimes and that laugh! Awful.
My grades are improving thanks to Law's help. He is actually a genius in everything, but a super genius in Biology and surprisingly, one of the most popular guys in the school. Who'd think that a nerd would be popular? Well, he doesn't look like a nerd, in fact he looks like a gangster, so this guy is basically full of surprises.
The people I take classes with are usually a noisy bunch, especially the group who call themselves Strawhats. I can tolerate the noise but not the one with green hair. Zoro they call him, but I call him seaweed head to bug him cause he bugs me. It's unfortunate that I have to live within his are and escort him to school because of his crappy sense of direction. There are other people in this school who bug me besides him; Eustass Kid and his gang and that Mr X. One is just plain mean and an ass the other boring. Mr X is our Maths teacher and my guardian; I come from another country and was transferred here by my parents for a better education and Mr X is their friend so that's how I ended up here. He does not give a damn about my problems and when I ask him for hints for tests coming up he brushes me aside. Really! The nerve of him. But I can't complain much cause he never fails to buy me all the food I need, and I hardly go hungry!
My first class of the day was Biology. I wanted to take this class as I was interested in food mainly and how it gets processed in the body. This is also my favourite class cause Law's in it and if I have any problems, and the best part is during tests I can cheat cause he sits next to me! As I walk into the class, I notice some of the Strawhats talking amongst themselves, but this time they were whispering. It was odd, so I took a seat beside Law and decided to ask.
"Hey, what's the buzz about? Why are they so quiet today?"
"Hmm? Hi Bonney." Law yawned and stretched as he replied me. I don't blame him for sleeping late; I mean I'm new and they pile me with homework without any regards for my personal life, not that I have much of a personal life but you get what I mean. "There's the student body president elections soon, and I'm pretty sure they're discussing who they should nominate and stuff."
"Why would anyone want to participate in that? It's boring and a waste of time."
"Personally, I don't mind participating in it, but I don't know why the strawhats are interested so…" He shrugged at me. I shrugged back and waited patiently for the teacher to enter the room and begin lessons.
Zoro's POV
This is a dumb class. Very dumb class. I don't care how the human body works or the problems it can get and how to cure them. I just want to stay at home and train to become the world's no.1 swordsman. The only reason I'm still schooling is because my sensei forced me to get an education and my friends. Oh and Robin. She and I have been steady for a month or so. She's cool, not as if I love her or anything, I just want to see if this thing can go anywhere. But I cannot deny that she is beautiful, intelligent and mature; you won't find a woman half as good as her anywhere.
Chopper, Ussop and Luffy take this class as well. We're in deep discussion about the student body president elections.
"I wonder who'll take part?" Chopper whispered excitedly. These elections are a big deal to most people cause it means that something in this school would be altered to suit the needs of the student body. Not that I really care, but I would change the thing about too much homework…
"I nominate you two! Luffy for president and Zoro for vice president!"Ussop said proudly. I just gave him the evil eye for having that retarded thought and he squirmed behind Chopper.
"Shishishi, no thanks Ussop, I'm happy the way things are in this school, and I need to work on my grades; they're slipping. Nami's putting a lot of effort on her part and I can't let her down." Luffy, our leader, is going steady with Nami for about… three months? Can't remember. I just know what Nami really loves the guy and he loves her too. But sometimes he can get carried away on stupid things like food and games that he forgets bout his studies and disappoints Nami. Now that I think about it, I have the same problem with Robin, except I'm the one causing it, not her of course. Never realised Luffy and I had so much in common.
"But it'd be so cool if you people were actually student body presidents! Think of all the things you could do; eat with the teachers, bend the rules-"
"Chopper I don't think those are the great things about being a student body president." I commented. Chopper's much younger than us but he's a genius so he managed to skip a few grades and end up here. I'm pretty much the opposite; I stayed back for one year cause I couldn't advance to the next grade. Which is why I'm separated from Robin most of the time. Saddens me really.
Just then, the teacher, Ms Kureha who is as old as time itself, entered the room and lesson resumed.
Nami's POV
I miss Luffy. Right now I'm having the most boring Geography lesson. I only took this class cause of maps and the physical aspect of it but today we started on human geography and I have no interest in it. Vivi 's bored too but coping better than I am. She's been going out with Kohza for a year and they have a pretty cute relationship. He's real sweet and quiet even though he looks mean and unapproachable. Never knew how Vivi managed to warm him up to her but they have been childhood friends so I guess that explains it. She is as rich as Bill Gates. Or near there; her Dad owns an oil refinery chain and earns billions! She is so lucky. I have to work hard to get into college but I'm sure that she can buy her way in. Not that she would resort to such low methods to do so. She's an honest, sweet and hardworking girl but I'm just saying the money really gives her an advantage.
There has been something bugging me these days besides the whole college thing or Luffy's grades; the elections. I really want to participate in it but I'm not exactly popular and I need someone to be my vice president nominee. I need to win this thing so that I can get a good and impressive achievement to give me a heads up when I apply for college. My family is not exactly financially prepared for me to advance to college so I need this real bad.
After lessons, we gathered at the canteen during our break. I love it when we have breaks; everyone gets together again. Robin, Franky and Brook are our seniors but we're still great friends. And the fact that some of us take extremely differing classes makes the gathering even more important. I am always glad to see everyone together.
As we eat, I sat closer to Luffy and secretly held his hand under the table. He was so adorable when he ate, even though it's in a sloppy way. I didn't want Sanji to see what we were doing or else he'd break down again; he broke down when he found out that all the girls in our clique were unavailable. Robin was a little more daring and leaned on Zoro's chest. He doesn't mind the attention because he couldn't care less about what people thought, which makes him cool. Unknowingly, Sanji, Luffy and Zoro are the few most popular guys in school along with Kid and Law and a few others I can't remember.
I leaned towards Robin and whispered to her: "Hey Robin, want to be my vice president for the student body president elections?" She got off Zoro's chest and smiled at me politely.
"I'm sorry Nami-san but I'm a senior. The only batch that can participate in these elections are the Juniors, such as yourself. I have to concentrate on than national exams." Crud I forgot. I wanted Robin on my team cause she's pretty popular and pretty and intelligent so I can gain more votes. I know it sounds awful that I'm using her but I love her like an older sister so don't get me wrong.
"Vivi, want to be my vice-president for the student body elections?" Vivi was stunned and choked on her food for a while before claming down.
"Why me? And I'm afraid I'm too scared to participate." She was a real shy girl, that's why I didn't want to drag her down with me. Robin had confidence and sass, Vivi was shy and humble.
"Cause you're sweet, pretty popular and hardworking. You'd make a great vice president! Plus think of all the credits you could get! Think of all the colleges we could get in!" Vivi was hesitant.
"You girls are participating? Then we should nominate Luffy and Zoro too!" Ussop exclaimed.
"How does that help?" I asked.
"Well, we'd have a higher chance of getting the people in our clique into the student body committee and gain more credit too!" Why didn't I think of that?
"Sounds great-"
"Hold on, I ain't gonna be nobody's vice-president. I hate this school and-" Zoro resisted.
"Zoro-san, if you participate with Luffy…" Robin's voice grew softer as she whispered something into Zoro's ear which made him grow cherry red in the face. I didn't want to figure out what it was.
"Ok then I'll join." Luffy then held up his drink and we all toasted. Though I felt bad for Robin, Franky and Brook who couldn't participate in the student body committee even if we won cause of their exams.
