Chapter 1

"Urgh, another public school, I wonder how long I can last in here." I thought in my head as I walked to school on my first day. My parents are always traveling here and there and I always get transferred to different schools every time. I never liked many of the schools I was forced to go even though it was only for a short amount of time. At times I just wish I could be a pirate and sail around the world without anyone pestering me to follow rules. Sadly that wasn't going to happen since my parents always keeps a close eye on me at all times.

This morning I was suppose get a ride to school with my brothers and sisters, but since I woke up so late they ended up going ahead of me. Lucky for me we only lived a block away from the school. So I continued to trudge my way there. By the time I reached school grounds the 5 min. warning bell rang and I hurried my way inside trying to find my class. Sadly I didn't make it fast enough to my class before the actual bell rang. Even after the bell rang I still didn't have any luck finding my class.

I continued to search throughout the entire hallways until I finally found my class. Sadly it was down in the basement and I was already twenty minutes late. When I entered my class everyone was busy with their projects to even notice me coming in. Later a tall person with who must have been my teacher, Mr. Iceburg. Mr. Iceburg was a tall man with blue hair and similar colored lips. He wears a red and orange stripped jacket over an unbuttoned orange shirt with a wide collar, black suit pants and black shoes.

"You must be my new student, Alicia Starkov. I know you came in a bit late, but I'll let you off the hook because it's your first day here. Right now as you can see everyone here is very busy and take their work very seriously. We are working with groups of two, but Franky doesn't have a partner so I guess you can join him. He's over there in the corner. Welcome to W.G. High School." Mr. Iceburg greeted. I looked into the corner and saw a boy with funky blue hair, Hawaiian shirt, and a noise of a robot.

I carefully made my way in between busy class mates all the way to the corner. For a moment when I first glanced at his work it seemed really sloppy and it was just a blueprint. Nicely I tapped on his shoulder to get his attention. When he turned around he gave me a puzzled expression.

"Hi, I'm Alicia Starkov. Mr. Iceburg said that I'll be your new partner for this project." I introduced.

"Hello Alicia, how much do you know about a ship?" Franky questioned.

"I know enough that I could make one if I wanted to."

"Super, now here are some empty blueprints, start draw and label in what I say." Quickly I pulled out a pencil and started carefully drawing and labeling all the stuff he said. It was a lot of stuff I had to write down on my first day and by the time the period ended my hand was totally cramped. But what I drew and wrote was better than what Franky had before. So then once again I roamed the hallways looking for my next period class.

This time I found my class just before the bell rang. When I walked into my class, I notice I was the only girl in it, not including the teacher even though the teacher was also a boy. Quickly I scanned the room for an empty seat. There all the way in the back corner was an empty seat. I made my way there and prepared myself for class. Later the teacher walked towards me and happily greeted me.

"I'm Mr. Kuzan and welcome to my German class, Alicia. Things might be a little hard considering that you just moved in and just starting, but I think you'll be able to catch up." he greeted. I nodded and he started class. As Mr. Kuzan was talking, a boy with a penguin hat and another boy wearing a blue hat with a red brim with red hair asked if they could both borrow some paper. So I took out my notebook and ripped out two pieces of paper for the two of them.

"Thanks, I'm Shachi and the other one is Penguin. What's your name?" the boy with the red hair whispered.

"I'm Alicia, it's nice to meet you Shachi and Penguin." I whispered back. Later Mr. Kuzan passed some worksheets out and everyone except me seemed to be confused.

"Class this is your homework for tonight and of course it'll be due tomorrow. I'm giving you time now in class to start it and ask if you have any questions." Mr. Kuzan explained. Afterwards everyone sighed and groaned, but I really didn't see what was so hard about this. All this worksheet was, putting the right verb forms into the box. Quickly I writing the answers in and soon I finished. When I looked around, everyone was still fooling around and not even trying to do the homework. In the corner of my eye I saw Mr. Kuzan rubbing the bridge of his noise and sighing to the behavior the class was acting.

Soon the bell rang and I tucked my homework into my folder and headed out the door. Just as I was leaving, Shachi and Penguin both stopped me and asked where I was going.

"Hey Alicia, where's your next class?" they both asked.

"I have Geometry with Mr. Mihawk." I answered and suddenly they both smiled.

"Follow us, we have Mr. Mihawk too. It was a shame our Captain sprinted off without us. We could've walked together." Shachi declared.

"Oh well, Captain's going to be jealous when he sees us walking with a girl. Come on Alicia, we'll introduce you to our Captain later." Penguin agreed. Before I knew it I was being dragged across the school to my next class. When we entered the class, there were only a few people already sitting down. One was a red spiky head boy sitting directly across from another boy on the other side of the room with dark blue hair, a white hat with grayish spots, black and yellow jacket with a weird smiley face on the front, and blue pants with similar spots on them who was busy reading to notice us.

While on the other hand the red spiky head boy hissed at Penguin and Shachi as they continued to drag me to the other boy on the other side of the room.

"What is it this time, Penguin, Shachi?" the boy reading sighed.

"Captain, we have a new student." Penguin exclaimed happily.

"You mean the one that came in last into the class for math? So what about her?" the boy asked.

"We walked her down here and we thought it would be a great idea for you to meet her." Shachi explained and moved aside so that the boy had a perfect view of me. The boy then looked up from his book and smiled at me. I couldn't help but smiled back at him.

"Hi, I'm Law, what's your name?" Law introduced.

"I'm Alicia. it's nice to meet you Law. It seems like you have really good friends that showed me the way here." I spoke.

"Yes, but at times I think the two of them can be a bit handful. Would you like to sit by me?" I nodded and took the seat right next to him and Shachi and Penguin took a seat behind us. When the bell rang a very scary figure walked through the door. He quickly scanned the room with his scary hawk-eyes and somehow his eyes found mine and I froze in shock. Slowly he walked over to the desk I was sitting in and towered over me.
