High School Drama chapter 2! Hurray!
I do not own One Piece *pouts*
*Knock knock* "Zoro? Zoro! Are you still asleep? Wake up, you're gonna be late for school!"
Zoro snorted and woke up. "Nami?"
"Oi shit head! Hurry up or we'll leave your ass here!"
Zoro's' eyes narrowed. "And Sanji." He mumbled. "All right I'm coming!"
He ran to his room and quickly changed into his uniform. Then grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
((()))
Nami and Sanji talked while Zoro just walked beside them. Sanji and Nami were roommates, though they didn't have a thing for each other. Or rather Nami didn't have a thing for Sanji.
"Hey guys!"
Sanji took a drag from the cigarette he had just lit and blew out the smoke. "Hey needle nose."
Usopp huffed. "My nose is not a needle!"
Sanji grinned. "Hm, you're right. It's more like a peni-"
"Don't say it!"
Zoro grinned and chuckled. But then frowned as he looked to the side and saw the park.
"Hold on I'll be right back." He walked off the sidewalk and toward the slides. Nami looked at Sanji who only shrugged.
Zoro walked got closer to the slides cautiously, expecting to see a dead body hanging there. But when he saw the spot where the boy had been there was nobody there. The rope was still tied to the bar but it had been broken and there was blood splattered all over the ground beneath it.
"Holy shit! What happened here?" Sanji said while looking over Zoro's shoulder.
"Nothing." Zoro turned away from the scene and walked back to the sidewalk.
Sanji took in the site a little longer before shaking his head and following everyone else.
((()))
The bell rang, signaling for everyone to take their seats.
"All right everyone, I'm gonna hand out the tests. But before I do so, we have a new student. You can come in the room now."
The teen walked into the room and Zoro's eyes widened.
"It's him. That kid from yesterday." Zoro muttered to himself.
The boy had black hair; his head was covered on one side with a bandage that wrapped around half his face. The bruises that were on his arms and legs were covered by his uniform. But the cuts and bruises on his face were still visible. There was also a scar under his eye that must have been there even before the beating.
"Um, hi. I'm Monkey D. Luffy."
"Mr. Luffy, we're about to take a test so if you just want to find something quietly to do then that would be ok. Now, for where you'll be sitting. Hmmm…"
She took some time to scan the room, but found that there was only one seat that wasn't taken.
"There's a seat right there next to Zoro, the one with the green hair."
Luffy looked around for a person with green hair, not that he should be so hard to find. Once he spotted Zoro, his eyes widened for a quick moment. They both looked at each other, until Luffy turned his gaze toward the floor and walked to his seat, avoiding Zoro's gaze.
Zoro closed his eyes and scoffed. 'Guess he remembers me.'
Sanji, Nami, and Usopp all looked at Zoro and at Luffy, wondering why the boy looked so upset. Beside the fact that Zoro was so scary looking.
"Now class," the teacher continued on. "I'm handing out the tests now. Get your pencils ready and do your best."
Once Zoro received his test, he finished it within 5 minutes. There was still 10 minutes left for people who were still testing. He looked at Luffy who was staring at the table.
(By the way, the classroom is just like the one in Naruto. Which I'm sure most of you have seen.)
Zoro felt like he owed the kid an apology for just leaving him there. He could've died. And now that the he was right here. Right next to him. He felt so guilty.
The bell rang for lunch break after the 10 minutes were up.
"All right class," the teacher spoke up. "Hand me your tests on your way out."
Students started standing up and rushing forward. Luffy stood up after most kids had left, Zoro was still sitting there thinking about things.
Luffy looked down at Zoro and started to speak a little quietly. "Um, Zoro right?"
Zoro snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at Luffy.
"Yeah that's my name. What?"
"Could uh, could you show me where everything is?"
"Yeah, let me see your schedule."
Luffy handed Zoro his schedule, who read over it quickly.
"Wow, you have all the same classes as me. Well then, just follow me around. It'll be easier that way."
Luffy smiled at Zoro. "Yosh!"
Zoro wondered why the boy was suddenly so carefree looking. Maybe he decided to drop that whole situation from yesterday? Or maybe he just didn't care?
As if Luffy had just read his mind, he answered Zoro's question. "About yesterday, I understand why you didn't help me and, it's ok. Everybody gets scared, ya know?"
Zoro face suddenly became one of disbelief. Scared? Zoro wasn't scared; he just didn't care about what was going to happen the boy. But he just stuck with what Luffy had said.
"Um, yeah. So, let's go." Zoro murmured.
They were about to head out the door when the teacher stopped Zoro.
"Zoro, I need to talk to you about your test."
Zoro didn't like the sound of this. "Oh no, what did I do wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. You did nothing wrong at all. It's about your score, it's absolutely perfect. You were the only one to get a 100%." She then mumbled. "Though I don't know how since you were the only one not listening to me yesterday."
Zoro ignored her last comment and narrowed his eyes. "If there's nothing wrong then why are you keeping me in here?"
"Because since you're the only 100% scorer in this class I have to inform that you have to go to the principles office at the end of the day to get a prize. You can go now."
"Alright. C'mon Luffy." Zoro walked out of the room with Luffy following.
"There's no point in getting lunch, we only have seven minutes left and it takes two to get down to the cafeteria and three to get food. So we'll just head to our next class, gym."
Luffy smiled and nodded, though some dissapointment could be seen on his features. They walked up the stairs to the third level, down the hall, took two lefts and a right, and finally they were there. There was only one minute before the bell would ring.
Zoro and Luffy walked into the men's locker room to find the coach was in his office looking at papers. He looked up when he heard footsteps and smiled.
"Hello there, are you Luffy? My new student?"
Luffy smiled back at the man. "Yes sir I am."
"Well you can relax for today since it's your first day, no dressing down or anything. Zoro you should go get ready for gym now since class is about to start anyway."
"Alright." Zoro and Luffy both simultaneously said.
((()))
Everyone warmed up with 30 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, and then running for 3 minutes before starting their activity.
"All right, today's activity is dodge ball!" The coach shouted to all the students.
Luffy was in the locker room finding anything that's not boring to do. He had been in the bathroom when everybody was in there so nobody had met him yet.
Zoro was currently dodging dodge balls and throwing them back with as much firepower he could bring up. After eight minutes past by the coach blew his whistle.
"All right, time to go get dressed."
Luffy heard some kids walk into the locker room. His eyebrows furrowed in thought. He knew those voices, when realization dawned on him he ran and hid in one of the bathroom stalls.
Everyone had finished getting dressed and left. Except Zoro who was currently trying to find Luffy.
"Luffy? Luffy where are you. C'mon we're gonna be late to our next class." Zoro heard one of the stalls open and Luffy came out and smiled at him.
"Why were you hiding in the stalls?"
"I wasn't hiding." Luffy closed his eyes and grinned nervously.
Zoro raised one eyebrow as he looked at Luffy. "Yeah uh, Okay. Well let's go."
Luffy's nervous smile was replaced by his regular grin followed by a Yosh!
Zoro and Luffy went to the rest of their remaining classes until the end of the school day. After gym was science, language arts, math, and then cooking class. Where Zoro burned himself and had to get his hand bandaged.
After school had ended, Zoro went to the principal to claim his "Prize". Which had turned out to be a lame free day pass bracelet to the arcade. Which Zoro gladly gave to Luffy instead, who went to use it right away when they left. But Zoro didn't expect Luffy to drag him along.
