Chapter 1-New school
Yo! I'm Alex.
Before we start the story, there are a few things you should know about me.
Lets start with the appearances, shall we?
Ok: I have long, straight, crimson red hair that reaches down to my butt, and a full fringe, emerald green eyes. I'm about average height for a girl, thin but I have nice curves, not too big breasts but not too small either, my body is well toned, as I do a lot of martial arts and stuff, but you can't tell that much. Oh and I have a tattoo on my right hip, a black tribal feather.
Now, I'm gonna tell you a bit about myself, not too much, you can find the rest out later ;p
Lets see…I'm the type of girl that causes a lot of trouble, well I can say that it follows me like my shadow, but don't worry I can take care of myself. Since when I was young, I was brought up being taught how to fight. I can be a bit hot-headed, and not so patient at times, but I'm extremely loyal to my friends and they can count on me. I may be a bit too honest sometimes, one of the reasons I always get into trouble is that I'm not afraid to tell someone the trough, or just simply talk back to people who can potentially kill me. Most of the time I'm in a pretty good mood, messing around and stuff, but when the dice turns and I get mad…well…you should run. Hobby-wise I could say that I like to draw and make stuff. I have an older brother who is like the most laid back person I have ever known, but our relationship is a love-hate one, as I tend to piss him off quite a lot, but he's always there to drag me out of trouble, not that I can't do that myself but more often than not, he tends to show up and save the day. Love you big bro. Oh and I'm 19, lol, I totally forgot to mention that.
Well, all in all, I'm far from your typical girl who needs to be protected.
Now on with the story, have fun XD
Alex's POV
I just got off the plain to the city I'll be living in for the next couple of year(unless I cause some kind of major damage or trouble), and said goodbye to my brother and my kendo sensei. I grabbed the stuff I need for now, leaving them with my other belongings as they will take it to my new apartment(which I have no clue where it is). With my black messenger bag over my shoulder, I ran out of the airport, heading towards my new school.
Because of reasons unknown to me, my brother decided that I need to move somewhere new, and so, now I'm going to a college specialised in taking care of trouble makers(like me). My brother's idea of trying to keep me in line. We'll see about that. Anyway it's called Sabaody College, and so far an all boys school. Great.
I decided to wear a grey tank top with black skinny jeans, dark red high neck converse and my black and red chequered scarf(you know the ones that are a square and you fold it into a triangle and put it on like that, yea I usually tie it at the back). Not the best decision as the weather is a bit chilly. It's September, but anyway; I'm not too good with direction and even with a map I managed to get lost somehow. It looks like I'm gonna have to ask for directions. Great.
As I stopped running and fell into a steady walk; I spotted a guy with blond hair, big eyes and a huge grin. No one else was around beside him and his friends. I decided to walk up to them and ask for directions.
"Hi, um, I'm looking for Sabaody College, but I'm a bit lost. Could you help me out please?" I asked a bit embarrassed. I don't like admitting it when I get lost.
"Well hello there beautiful." the blond guy said flirtatiously. "Why are you looking for the school? Instead come with us"
"No. Sorry, I need to be there and I'm already late as it is. So if you're not gonna help, then I'll be on my way" I said flatly as I started to walk away again 'what a bunch of scum.' I mentally commented, before a hand grabbed my left arm, where I have quite a bad injury from two days previous and bandages over it.
"And where do you think you're going? Why not play a little? I'm Bellamy, also known as Bellamy the Hyena around here." he said pulling me back towards his group of friends. In the process managing to grope my butt.
"You wanna play? Ok, I'll play. Lets see how long you last against me?" I said as the last ounce of patience left me and I kicked Bellamy in the face. Making him fly into the building, his friends were leaning against. Well that got their attention.
"Bitch! How dare you lay a finger on our boss?!" one of them yelled pissed off and charged at me. I dodged his punch, moving aside and with a sharp blow, hit him on the back of the head, knocking him out. The others started to attack as well, but with quick and graceful movements, I dodged and knocked the rest unconscious as well.
"How dare you, you fucking bitch?!" Bellamy yelled angrily, standing up and wiping away the blood from his mouth.
I sighed and turned to him "You don't give up, do you? I wasted enough time on you. Get out of my way!" I said annoyed, with cold eyes. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at me.
"You're gonna pay, bitch!" he said moving closer to me. 'Is that meant to scare me? Pathetic.' I thought. I kicked the gun out of his hand and punched him in the guts, then in the face again as he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Uh, that's gonna bruise tomorrow." I said looking at his eye, then took off again, in search of the college.
After a while I managed to find it and ran through the front doors to the reception. I asked for the class I'll be in. A-1, and after receiving the directions, I made my way up to the second floor to my class.
I'm kinda an hour late, so its period two now. Successfully identifying my classroom, I walked in only for my name to be angrily shouted from behind me a few seconds later.
As I turn around to face the all too familiar voice of my brother, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside, closing the door behind me.
"Hey. Sorry for being late, got a little lost." I said sheepishly.
"Alex, you're an hour late, and you had a map." he said, clearly annoyed.
"Sorry, but what are you doing here?" I asked as my kendo sensei came up behind my big brother.
"Shanks, give her a break. It's her first time here." Mihawk said, giving me a black katana. "You left this at the airport. You should look after it a bit more carefully." he said.
Yea that's right, my older brother is Akagami Shanks and my kendo sensei is Drakule Mihawk.
"Thanks Mihawk. I totally forgot about my sword." I said as I slipped it in my belt.
"Ok, here's the keys and address to your new apartment. We already put all your stuff in, you just got to find the place." Shanks said handing me the said items. "I'll call you every day to check up on you, so don't get into any trouble, ok?" he asked as I looked away, with guilt rising in the pit of my stomach. I got here an hour or so ago and already beat up a couple of thugs. Way to start my new life.
"Oh no." Mihawk said as Shanks got even more annoyed.
"What have you done this time?" he sighed, with his palm on his forehead.
"I got lost and asked for directions, but this guy came onto me and couldn't escape unless I beat them up." I said looking away and scratched the back of my head.
"Alex-"Shanks started but got interrupted by a boy shouting my name and the next thing I know, I'm on the floor with someone on top of me.
"Ow, get off, would ya?" I asked pushing the boy off.
"Sorry, sorry, your finally here, Alex!" the boy got off me excitedly and pulled me up.
"Luffy!" I shouted excitedly and hugged him. I haven't seen the kid in years. We used to be friends in middle school.
"You knew I was coming?" I asked, letting him go.
"Shanks told me. This is so great, we'll be going to school together. You have to meet my friends!" Luffy said excitedly.
"All in due time. Aren't you meant to be in class?" I asked him as he waved it off.
"And that goes for you too. Akagami Alex." a man said standing in the doorway of my soon to be classroom, probable the teacher.
"Ah, sorry for being late. I got lost." I said as my brother and kendo master said their good byes and Luffy went back to his own class. Then I entered mine.
"This is Akagami Alex. She'll be attending from now on, be nice to her, after all she is our only female student." Sensei Marco said, introducing me to the class. My attention then landed on a particular boy.
"Ace!" I shouted in joy as he stood up.
"I was wondering when you'll notice me." he said amused, walking up to me as we hugged and he picked me up, spinning us around.
"My god, it's been so long. How are you?" I asked exited. He used to go to the same middle school as me. He's Luffy's older brother by a year.
"It has been, and good. What about you?" he asked back.
"Yea, so much happened, and you changed. Hopefully more mature." I said smiling.
"Hey, when am I not mature? And you changed too, your hair's long now." he said taking a strand in his hand.
"Alright, sit down you two." Sensei Marco said and Ace brought me to his seat, glared at the kid beside him and he moved to a different seat, so I could sit beside Ace, at the back row. As Ace was sat on my right, there sat a black haired boy with grey eyes on my right; Trafalgar Law, a green haired boy in front of me; Roronoa Zoro, a blond kid on Zoro's left; Sanji and a white haired to his right; Bepo. On the right side to Law, by the window sat a red head; Eustass Kidd and in front of him; a boy with long shaggy blond hair; Killer. Ace told me all their names(cause I asked).
Law's POV
This new girl Alex, is interesting. She was late and still has the guts to just chat away in the middle of the class, not even minding the teacher.
We're in the middle of maths and she looks like she just fell asleep; elbow on the table, holding her head up by her hand.
"Alex, can you come up and answer this question?" Sensei Marco called, but she didn't respond so he walked up to her desk and slammed his hand on her desk, making her jump and drop her hand.
"What? I didn't break anything." she said looking around confused.
"No one is accusing you of breaking anything, yet. But do tell, is my lesson really that boring, that you can't help but fall asleep?" Sensei Marco asked in a sinister tone.
"Sorry, didn't have much sleep last night." she said sticking her tongue out, unaffected by his glare. "Did you ask a question?"
"Yes, go solve the problem on the board." Sensei said as he handed her the board pen and she walked up to the white board.
I wonder what she'll do, the question on the board is a higher level algebra one, will she be able to solve it?
She looked at it for a sec then done the whole question in a matter of seconds. Everyone staring at her surprised.
"Was that meant to be hard?" she asked smirking.
"You did it perfectly." Sensei said in awe.
"If you tried to catch me off guard, it didn't work. Especially using questions like this, they're easy." she said and walked back to her desk, giving the board pen back to the teacher.
"Show off." Ace said to her as she giggled.
Alex's POV
That was too easy, I think I managed to impress half the class.
As the lesson continued, nothing much happened, until 10 minutes before the bell. A man barged into the classroom, looking quite furious. I quickly recognized him to be Smoker; a high ranked police officer and not far behind him; his assistant Tashigi.
"Akagami!" he practically growled at me.
"Hey Smokey. What do you want?" I asked looking bored.
"I'm here to arrest you" he spat.
"W-what?! What did I do this time, that you want to arrest me?" I asked standing up arms crossed and glaring. Tashigi took a step back in fear/ You learn a thing or two, when Mihawk's your teacher, but Smoker was unfazed.
"I'm arresting you for your involvement with the wanted gang; The Scorpions." he said glaring back.
"I have nothing to do with those bastard. Now leave me alone." I said sitting back down and crossing my arms, with the whole class's attention on us.
"Oh really? Then what were you doing at their base two days ago? You were spotted there by one of my scouts." he said, oh so proud.
"What was I doing? You know my antics Smoker. I get lost a lot. That time was no different, I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. They attacked me, and I hardly made a get away. Don't think that I'll be helping them." I explained in a flat and bored tone.
"Really? And do you have evidence?" he asked crossing his arms. I held up my left arm in front of me, to show a bandaged wound on it.
"You could have done that yourself, to make your story believable." he frowned.
"And why the fuck would I purposely cut myself, just to make you fucking believe me?" I said angrily.
"How should I know?" he spat back.
"I'm not sure what you believe about me, but I couldn't do this to myself." I said angrily as I unwrapped the bandages to reveal a deep cut on my lower arm surrounded by deep bruising. Everyone gasped at the sight of it, even him. "Now do you believe me? Those bastards hit me with a fucking blunt piece of metal, bruising and cutting my arm up." I said holding my arm up.
"How does that not hurt?" Tashigi asked horrified.
"Who said it doesn't? I just have a higher pain tolerance than you." I said darkly as she whimpered under my gaze.
"What about this morning, huh? You got into a fight, haven't you?" Smoker asked determined to bring me to jail.
I looked a little confused for a sec, but then remembered.
"Oh yea, that blond little loud mouth and his group of thugs. What was his name, Bellamy? Well I wasn't the one who started that, he was, so don't blame me." I said arms crossed.
"Either way, a fight is a fight. I'm taking you in." Smoker said, grabbing my bad arm by accident and pulled me towards the door. I ripped my arm back, away from him I opened the cut in the process, but not showing the pain, pushed Smoker against the wall by his throat.
"I'm gonna tell you this, one more time. Fucking leave me be. Unless you have proper evidence to chase me. If that happens, I'll willingly go with you, but as of yet, I have done nothing that would go against the law. So fuck off." I said in a dark tone, glaring at him. Tashigi pulled out her sword and put it to my throat.
"Let him go." she said, fear clear in her eyes.
"Don't play with that. You might cut yourself." I said as I let Smoker go, but grabbed Tashigi's hand, knocking the sword out and twisting the arm behind her back. "Don't tempt me. My self control is not the best. So if you piss me off further, I might just do something you'll regret." I said to her in a dark and sinister voice as she shivered in fright.
"Enough. We get your point. We'll leave, for now." Smoker said as I let go of Tashigi and she ran behind him. I picked up her sword and held it up to her. She shakily took it as I smirked and they left.
"Fuck." I said as my mask broke and pain ran through my arm.
"Oy, Alex, you ok?" Ace came up to me worried.
"Sorta. Sorry for disturbing the lesson again." I said to Sensei Marco.
"Idiot. Go to the infirmary to get that fixed." he said as Law stood up.
"I'd like to treat your wound, if you let me." he said looking at me, walking up to us.
"You're a doctor then, huh?" I asked "Do what you want." I finished as I walked out of class, in a random direction, but got turned around by Law, saying the infirmary is the other way. As we got there, he treated the wound. Having to sew it up, I protested but he offered to knock me out.
"Ok, but just so you know, its not because of the pain. I just don't really fancy needles, so its better for the both of us if I'm asleep while you work." I said, lying on one of the beds as he gave me a pill and water.
"I got it. Take that. In about three minutes, you'll be asleep." he said, eyeing my wound as I did what he told me. "You didn't get it looked at, at all did you?"
"No, but you're looking at it now, so its fine" I said giving him back the glass.
"What if I didn't? It would have been infected and end up pretty badly. What would you have done?" he asked looking me in the eye.
"Heh, no problem. My friends are coming tomorrow, so I would have no problem as Izzy would take care of it." I said smiling.
As soon as I was out. Law wasted no time and quickly treated it.
After I woke up, it was fourth period, so I went back to class. I thanked Law and the rest of the day went quietly, until I had to go home and find my new apartment. Well, easier said than done.
