Amber brushed her hair back into a neat brunette ponytail. She smiled once more in the mirror before she stood up and prepared for the first day of her junior year. As she walked down the stairs a smile spread across her face, "This is going to be a good year!" she thought to herself, "This year I'm going to make all honors!" As this sense of pride spread through her face her phone began to buzz in her pocket. All the happiness drained from her face as she noticed the time, "Crap! It's already seven thirty!? I'm going to be late on the first day!" She began rushing out the door, only to be stopped by her mother, "Sweetie! Remember did you remember your lunch?" Amber nodded her head furiously, "How about you bag?" Amber once again nodded, " Oh sweetie! I just can't believe your already a junior! Time just seems to fly by!" Said her mother holding back tears. "Yeah I know! But I gotta go or I'm going to be late!" Amber said as she fled out the door waving bye to her mom. She was practically running down the street in hopes of not being late on her first day back, she made a sharp turn around the corner when she ran into something hard, her head began to pound as she fell back. "Ouch!" she wined. "Hey are you okay?" a familiar voice called with a small hint of a chuckle. "I'm fine! Thanks for asking, Ace." she said as she stood up, her head still spinning. "I see you and your brother are running late, as usual," Amber smirked. "Wha-" Ace said as he looked at his watch, "I thought we were early! Luffy get your butt out here!" Ace yelled back at his younger brother, "But Ace," Luffy said still looking half asleep, "you said we were early!" "Well I was wrong idiot!" Ace yelled back, "Well I should get going!" Amber said as she began running toward the school once more, "See ya!" Ace and Luffy yelled in unison. Amber hurried down the road, she quickly pulled out her schedule, "Looks like I got Chemistry first today!" She said excitedly, " With Mr. Caesar," she said followed with a dreaded the day that Mr. Caesar would be her teacher, from what she heard from Ace, his class would not be easy. As she approached the school she sighed in relief, the first bell had not rung yet, she quickly walked into the school, and found Mr. Caesar's classroom. As she walked in the bell rang signaling the beginning of class, "How nice of you to join us Miss Amber," Caesar said with his indelible smile, " I already told everyone where their seats are, yours is over there next to my little nephew," he smiled and motioned over to his nephew in the back. As Amber turned her gaze over to who was to be her table partner, her heart seemed to stop. It was Trafalgar Law. He was quiet, but other than that she knew nothing about him, just being near him made her nervous. She slowly approached the table trying her hardest to hide her fear. "Good morning!" she said as she sat down in her seat, "Morning," said Law glancing over at her. As she was settling into her spot the announcements rang over the intercom, "good morning students!" Principle Garp's voice rang through the intercom, "I hope we are all ready for an exciting year!" He continued to go on about the upcoming events this year, as he went on Amber turned over to get a quick look at Law. "I've never noticed how tired he looks," Amber thought to herself, "In fact I don't think I've ever been this close." Noticing her gaze law glanced over, her face began to turn bright red and she attempted to hide it by reading her book. Finally the announcements were finished, and Mr. Caesar stood up, "Hello class!" he laughed, "my name is Mr. Caesar, as you all know, this is Chemistry class!" he gave another laugh, "I'm quite excited for this year, as I'm sure most of you are! Now why don't you spend the rest of class getting to know your table mate," He sat down, "You'll be seeing them for the rest of the year." After he finished Amber turned to Law and said, "So Mr. Caesar is your uncle?" She asked trying her best to sound friendly. "Well," Law began, "no not technically, my father and him are good friends. So he insisted that I move in with Caesar while I attend school here." he gave an arrogant smirk, "It's Law by the way," Amber gasped, "Oh, I'm so sorry that was rude of me! My name's Amber!" Law gave a low chuckle, "It's fine, so Amber, are you in any clubs or sports?" Amber thought for a moment, "Well I play the clarinet in band but other than that no, I'm not. What about you?" "I'm in the Physiology club, and I intended on taking physiology this year, but my genius uncle up there pulled strings for me to be in his Chemistry class." Amber gave a soft laugh at his story, causing a small laugh to escape Law. The bell rang signaling the end of class, "Well Miss Amber I'll see you next class I suppose," Law said as he gathered up his things to leave, "Alright! See you later Law!" Amber giggled earning a slight blush to cross Law's face. "Excuse me! Miss Amber, could you please stay a few moments behind?" Caesar asked not lifting his gaze from the computer. "Yes sir!" She responded and began to walk to his desk. Once all of the students had left the room Caesar began to speak, "There's a reason I sat you next to Traffy, you know that right?" Caesar said still with his unwavering smile, "you see Traffy is a very nice young man, but he just doesn't seem to get along with everyone." Caesar said his smile slightly wavering, " You're a nice girl, anyone can see it really, so that's why I'm asking you." Amber stood in her place shocked at what her teacher had said, "I-I mean yeah." She said unsure how to react, "Yeah I'll try to be friends with him." Caesar's smile came back in full force as he gave out a large laugh, "good! That's what I wanted to hear! Now hurry before you're late to your next class!" Noticing the time Amber gasped and ran out to her next class, gym.
