Chapter 1: Prolog
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze, my lips your poison. They bring you down to your knees. Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze, my lips your poison. They bring you down to your knees.
Nami desperately searched for her phone, trying to shut off the stupid ringer while giving the man in front of her a sheepish look. Why didn't she turn the stupid thing off before she got here? Or just left the damn thing in her car? Finally pulling out the phone she turned it off. "Sorry," she muttered.
"We don't allow phones in class, I hope you'll remember that," the grump in front of her muttered as he looked back down at her transcripts. "Can I ask why you left East Blue Academy?" he asked looking back up at her. Nami knew that look; it was the judging look that most people gave her. He thought she'd done something horrible to get kicked out when in reality; she had to move because of her mother's job and was now being transferred to Grand Line Prep for her senior year. Away from all of her friends, and everything she knew. The worst part was that Grand Line Prep was a boarding school; at least it was coed thank god.
"My mom's job was transferred here, so therefore I had to move," she said matter-of-factly as she crossed her arms over her chest, getting defensive. Did she really look like a bad kid? Well that was a dumb question in and of its self. With tattoos and piercings, yeah she probably looked like the antichrist around here.
Smoker nodded and made a note of something and looked back up at her. "Well, you'll be on probation for the first month, but we do have a dorm room open, and your grades are good enough, not spectacular, but they'll do." Nami's eyes narrowed. Rude much? Smoker pressed a button on his intercom and said, "Send in Miss Nefertari," he said and then released the button.
Nami looked at the door when a young girl walked in with long hair pulled back into a pony tail on top of her head; she smiled and gave a small bow. "You asked for me?" she said.
Smoker nodded. "Show Nami here to the free dorm room please." He said and turned away from them in a dismissal.
Nami glared and grabbed her bag before turning her phone back on and following Vivi out of the room. "I'm Vivi," the girl said with a smile as they walked out of the office.
Nami glanced at her. "Nami," she mumbled, giving the girl her name. She looked at the uniform Vivi was wearing and held back a gag. White long sleeved shirts with a black tank top underneath and a black sweater vest on top, along with a red tie. The skirt was short and black and completed with a pair of long black socks and black shoes. Nami sighed inwardly and really hoped that she wouldn't go crazy. On the right breast of the sweater vest there was a crest, she assumed was for the school; red lining with two anchors on the top and bottom cross-cornered from each other, in the other seconds there was what looked like a golden G with and L, she assumed stood for the school's name. If this wasn't a private school she didn't know what was.
"Your uniforms should be in your room already," Vivi said trying to make conversation as she led Nami up a long flight of stairs. "You're one of the lucky ones, you don't have to share a room," she added with a smile.
"Share a room?" Nami asked.
Vivi nodded. "Yeah, some of the students here share rooms. It depends on their grades, or how much money their parents put into the school," Vivi explained. Nami nodded, so why was she getting her own room? Smoker said himself that her grades were nothing to celebrate, and as far as she knew Bellemere hadn't given any money to the school. Deciding it was better not to question it Nami didn't say anything and followed Vivi down a long hallway until she stopped at a door. "This is it," she said smiling as she opened the door. Nami stepped inside and looked around. It wasn't particularly big, but it was a good size. There was a queen size bed pushed up against a wall in the corner of the room, a large oak dresser and matching vanity along with two beside tables and two doors, Nami assumed that one led to a bathroom and the other was a closet. "Is there anything you need?" Vivi asked.
"No, I'm good," Nami said putting her bag on the bed.
"Alright, I'm just down the hall if you need me," Vivi smiled and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Nami sighed and lay down on her bed staring up at the ceiling. Tomorrow would be the first day, and a long day filled with repeating her name, why she was there, and god only knew what else. She sighed and rolled over onto her side, staring at the wall. She really should unpack, but she wasn't in the mood. All she wanted to do now was sleep, and that's exactly what she did.
