A\N: So, since this is a story about Luffy in High School, I decided to not make him nearly as oblivious as he is in the anime. So it is slightly O/C. Just a warning, lol.
Chapter 1
One of the worst ways to be woken up is being hit by an extremely overweight orange haired woman, who didn't know the meaning of five more minutes.
"Jeez, you old hag, you didn't have to hit me that hard." I told her, holding my head. My old hag comment earned me another hit and I was sure another lump had just formed on top of the previous one.
"At least this old hag doesn't have to go to school, like a certain dumbass." She had me there. God, I really didn't want to go to school. Mostly because it sucked, but also because it was my first day of high school. I mean I wasn't scared about getting beat up by some asshole senior or anything like that. I'd kick anybody's ass. I had heard high school was completely different from middle school, though. As in, it was ten times harder, and middle school was hard enough.
"Now, get your ass up and get ready for it."
"Since when the hell did you care about me going to school?" I mumbled, not bothering to even move my covers off of me.
"Since your grandfather told me that if you didn't make it to school on time everyday, he'd punch me along with you, and I've suffered enough with Ace. I'm just glad he isn't Sabo's grandfather." She pulled my covers off of me and dragged me off my bed. "So, get the hell up because I'm not suffering for you too."
"What the hell, grandma, all I asked for was five freaking minutes." I shouted as she slammed my door shut. There was no way I'd get back to sleep now. I got up and went to take a shower. I made sure not to take too long cause i knew if I did, Dadan wouldn't hesitate to barge into the bathroom and try to give me a black eye for using too much water.
Guess I should explain a little. I was Luffy D. Monkey. 14 years old and starting my freshman year. I had two older brothers, not blood related, but that didn't matter to us, we had been together since I was 3 and shared a bottle of sake. Once you shared a bottle of sake, you were brothers for life. Ace and Sabo were 17, Ace was a second time junior while Sabo had made it to his senior year after somehow managing to pass Algebra 2. I knew I was gonna have trouble with Algebra 1, so I was already dreading junior year. Ace and I had lived with Dadan for most of our lives, our grandfather had kind of just dumped us here since he couldn't take care of us himself, Dadan wasn't too happy about it. I think she was warming up to us a little, though. Sabo had always been around, but he didn't come to live with us until I was around 9. He wasn't a legal resident of the house, but he had ran away from home and his parents hadn't come looking for him. So, he got by on forged signatures and a very convincing old man voice that he used whenever the school called home to tell of his latest detention.
Of course, we weren't the only ones that lived with Dadan. There were at least 14 of us, most grown men who decided living here was easier than going out and having to buy their own food and pay their own bills. I didn't know how she could afford all of us, but Dadan did it. Whenever I asked, she'd tell me to mind my own business, and since it was usually over dinner, I gave up easily. You'd give up easily, too, if you had to fight with grown men to get something to eat.
BANG! BANG! "Get your ass out of the bathroom, Luffy." I heard Ace shout.
"Can I brush my teeth?" I yelled back. There were at least four bathrooms in this place, why the hell did he need to use this one?
"Hurry the fuck up!"
"Calm your ass, I just got in here. Use another bathroom."
"All my stuff is in here, dickwad!"
"Well, that sucks for you, doesn't it?"
"Would you two shut the fuck up? It's 6 in the damn morning." Grey shouted, clearly upset about being woken up. Hey, he wasn't the only one.
"Maybe if you had a damn job, it wouldn't matter that they were yelling at 6 in the morning, you lazy bum!" Dadan shouted. I began brushing my teeth as everyone began shouting at each other. Six in the morning and yet we're still as loud as we would be at 8 at night.
I left the bathroom and returned to my room. Sabo was still sound asleep like people weren't having a screaming match right outside of our room. Why didn't the old hag come in here and punch him in the head? I shook my head and made my way to the closet. I pulled out a loose red tank top with a pair of blue shorts and pulled on my black vans, wearing red socks with it. Sabo was finally getting up when I was tying my hat around my neck. It was a straw hat with a red band, I had been wearing it since I was kid. It was given to me by a close friend.
"Fuck. School." Sabo muttered, throwing off his blankets and rubbing his face.
"If you look at the bright side. You'll only say that 179 more times before you don't ever have to say it again." I tried. He was lucky. He had one year left, I had four, if I was lucky enough not to get held back like Ace.
"That doesn't make it any better." Sabo responded. I shrugged, I tried. I left the room and went to the kitchen. Dadan had breakfast ready and waiting, which I was grateful for. I grabbed about 7 pieces of bacon, some eggs, 2 waffles, and 4 sausages. Both, Ace and Sabo, had come into the kitchen by the time I was finished my plate and grabbing another sausage. They loaded their plates with just about as much as I had before devouring it in less than 3 minutes.
"Okay. let's go before the old woman starts bitching about us being late." Ace said.
"I heard that you little brat!" Dadan shouted down the stairs.
"So?" Ace challenged. We hurried outside as we heard the pounding of a 270 pound woman making her way down the stairs. As much as we didn't like to admit, all of us were a little scared of Dadan. She hit like a heavyweight boxer.
We hopped in Ace's car and headed to school. The high school wasn't far, only a ten minute ride.
"We probably won't see you again, Luffy, so you have six minutes to get here before I leave you." Ace warned, as he locked his doors.
"I'm staying after school." I told him," Football practice."
"Since when did you play football?" Sabo questioned, raising his eyebrow.
"I just started this summer. Sanji thought it'd be a good way to impress girls so he wanted to play, so we all decided to play." I wasn't really interested in getting girls, I had decided to play because I wanted to tackle people. Tackling people was always a good time.
"Sanji never fails to come up with a new scheme to impress girls. I almost feel bad for him, seeing as none of them have ever worked. Whatever, though. Good luck with that, I guess." Ace shrugged, and continued walking, heading into the school. Sabo and I followed behind him.
"I'm gonna go find Koala. See ya around, Luffy." Koala was Sabo's best friend. She was nice to everyone, but lost her temper with Sabo all the time. Most of the time because he did something stupid, reckless, or both.
Ace was long gone, so I went to search for my friends. They were easy to find, all of them were in a huddle together at Usopp's assigned locker. His locker was the only place I actually remembered from the tour because two kids had got into a fight and happened to put a dent in his locker. It was shaped like the guy's head so I thought it was pretty cool.
My group of friends were Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp.
Sanji liked to believe he was the ultimate ladies man, but the closest he's ever come to touching a woman in that way was getting kicked in the balls. Zoro on the other hand, was more into getting stronger, he spent most of his time in the gym and that was the main reason he decided to join the football team with us. Usopp didn't like to do things that raised your heartbeat over 10 beats faster than your normal, we had to practically drag him to football try-outs and he kicked and screamed the entire time.
"Hey, guys!" I greeted, which they returned easily.
"Man, have you seen Nami and Robin, yet?" Sanji asked, I didn't think there was ever a time when he wasn't talking about a girl.
"No."
"You're totally missing out. I didn't think it was possible, but they've gotten even hotter since the eighth grade." When it came to our class, Nami and Robin were probably the most sought out girls. They were the only girls in middle school with huge boobs, so guys usually tried to get with them. So far, nobody had succeeded. I liked Nami and Robin, not in that way, but they were both pretty cool, when you got past Nami's abusive ways.
"Do you ever think about anything other than girls?" Zoro mumbled, rolling his eyes.
"Why would I need to? Or even want to?" Sanji replied easily, staring ahead, probably looking at some girl's butt.
"Maybe so you can actually pass a class without having to copy because you were too busy thinking about girls." Usopp answered. He was afraid that one day, we'd get caught cheating and there was nothing Usopp dreaded more than detention.
"I'm perfectly fine with copying if I get to stare at girls like that all day." Sanji pointed very discreetly to our right, and all of us simultaneously turned to look.
The girl had long, black hair and big brown eyes. She was tall and extremely curvy with big breast. I had to admit, Sanji did have a point. The girl was pretty, or beautiful, as Sanji would say.
"That's Boa Hancock." He started. I had no idea how he knew her name. She was definitely not in our year. "She's a sophomore and she's never dated any boys and guys constantly ask her out. Rumor has it, she's a lesbian, she doesn't even have guy friends. That's such a waste of a beauty, if it's true." I turned away, not wanting to get caught staring.
"Who cares? She looks like a bitch." Zoro responded, pulling up his book bag.
"Yeah, she does look a little scary." Usopp agreed.
"Psh. I can handle scary." Sanji said, easily. He then proceeded to fix his tie and jacket before walking towards her.
"This will be good." I commented, knowing Sanji was about to make a complete fool of himself.
"Excuse me." He greeted, causing her to turn towards him. The two girls, who looked seriously out of place standing next to her, did the same. Sanji didn't say anything, he didn't even move. It was like as soon as she placed her eyes on him, he became a statue.
After 10 seconds of that, Zoro openly laughed at Sanji's failed attempt. That caused her to look at us. Both, Zoro and Usopp, did the same thing as Sanji. What the hell was wrong with them?
"The hell." She continued staring at me like she was waiting for me to freeze, too. "Uh, hi." I said after she had stared long enough for me to feel awkward. Her jaw dropped, but she quickly closed her mouth.
Her face became red," Hi." She mumbled before turning away from me and closing her locker, leaving quickly. The two girls looked shocked, as if they had never seen something before. What a group of weird girls. My friends seemed to come out of whatever trance they were in and turned to me with the same look the girls had.
"Did she really just blush?" Sanji questioned.
"Yeah, so?" I replied. Sanji looked at me like I was stupid.
"She likes you. Of all people, it's you! What the hell is wrong with this universe?"
Zoro shook his head," Ignore that idiot. Come on, Luffy, the bell's gonna ring soon. Let's get to class." I agreed with Zoro, and we left while Sanji continued to question Cupid and his ways.
