HAI! Okeiii first I'm VERY sorry the late update (though I don't really know how fast things are updated on here lol...),but tbh I had sorta already wrote the 2nd chapter a while ago, but I stil needed to add a lot of things to make it make sense...plus editing! Once again please bear with me for any mistakes as this was written on my iPad and only briefly edited.

Students are organized throughout the school by their groups/gangs. Obviously Nami is in the Mugiwara group (not exactly a spoiler...heh) you ask to join a group but they can reject/accept you, but today students will go to their regular classes by age. Anyways~Each class will have 3 groups which will be set for the whole semester (2 in total). The only downside is that the Juniors and Seniors will separated by rank and will be in another level class, but still will be with the same 3 groups (just their Seniors and Juniors). And Freshmen and Sophomores will be the same classes from the same 3 groups. Each 3 groups (will be called a trioslc(yess I made that word up)) -including Freshmen-Seniors, so the whole crew- will have the same schedules (just different rooms which explains the 300+ rooms) and only will be put together during gym (use both gyms at the same time kinda thing). Hope that's not too confusing :P

Sorry for the large intros. I never meant to write so much useless shit, but the fact is that I made everything sooo complicated (Exactly to my taste ;D) I just didn't want to confuse you guys too much lol...BUT I promise that this is the last time I'm going to write soooo much for the intro :}

Enjoy!


Grandline High-Chapter 1


Nami looks down at the schedule in her hand, Period 1 - Math Rm. 315.

She had been running around for the past 10 minutes after the bell rung, looking for room 315 which now stood before her.

"Having 3 floors isn't as awesome as I thought" says Nami between breaths, "My first day and I'm already 10 mins late"

She gently knocks on the door, smooths out her hair and straightens her skirt.

A man with red hair opens up the door, "Aah there you are, you must me Nami, the new girl"

"Yes" mumbles Nami quietly.

"Well welcome to Math, I'm Shanks." he says with a large grin.

"Hello Mr.-"

"Just Shanks is fine, I refuse to take Mr. or Sir or anything like that, it's too formal for me!" he chuckles

"Come on in, you can sit in any empty seat" Nami slowly makes her way to a seat to the very back and sits down.

The chairs are cushioned and soft making her feel slightly at ease.

"Okay class, I want to welcome our new student Nami, she transferred all the way from Cocoyashi Village so be sure to say hi whenever you see her" says Shanks happy as ever.

She takes some time to observe her class, everyone seems to be COMPLETELY indulged in whatever their doing.

"Wow not even ten minutes in, and I'm already ignored."

She continues to scan the room and stops when she sees a kind face smiling back at her from the front.

The girl had light blonde hair which was braided into two tails that hung down her back. Her smile really warmed Nami up, she smiled back before turning down to her desk.

"Now since its the first day, you may enjoy the rest of the period to do anything you want" announced Shanks.

Theres a couple of "Yes's" from around the room probably meaning Shanks does this a lot.

Nami decides to use this time to finish a sketch of a tree she was drawing.

"You're good" says a kind voice from behind her making her jump.

She turns around to see the blonde haired girl, the sunlight behind her giving the impression of a halo.

"Sorry, I'm Conis, it's nice to meet you Nami" she says holding out her hand.

Something about Conis' presence really warmed her up, she got up to shake her hand when Conis pulled Nami into a hug.

When she released, Nami found herself blushing. She was surprised that Conis had accepted her so easily, thats something she'd never experience at her old school.

"Nice to meet you too...Conis"

The two girls continued to talk about the school and what type of clothes/books they like for the rest of the period.

Nami felt happy, but something about this girl seemed oddly familar...she seemed like someone she knew...someone like...Vivi


The bell had rung for the 2nd period's end. The two girls continued out of Art class, Nami had spent the whole class teaching Conis some sketching techniques for it was a free art class. "Don't forget to sign up for what crew you want to join at the 'Central Board'" annouced the teacher before dismissing the students.

"What's that" asked Nami

"The Central Board or the crew thing?"

"Both"

"Well the Central Board is this huge bulletin board posted in the main foyer, it posts all the recent news about the school like tounaments, upcoming events or sign-up lists. Everyone looks at it since it's always updated like hourily...or whenever info is recieved." explained Conis, "you know about how this school is divided into groups/gangs? They're called crews, but anyways these crews are open for students to join based on what they do, but the crew can either accept or reject the student. They can also make a status (open/closed) if they want more people to join or not, they're always a lot of crews open at the beginning of the year so I'm sure you'll find one. If you don't like a crew you can always leave it (or they can kick you out) but you can only do so 2 times a year and join another crew. After you've been sorted into crews the whole school is then totally reorganized into trioslc, which are 3 crews put together to form a class. The only thing is that the class will be split by seniors/juniors and freshmen/sophomores"

"Wow, that is so cool, are all school's like this?" asked Nami, clearly amazed.

"Nope, only on the Grandline and only three of them, Grandline Academy, us, Redline University, our rivalry school and Marineford University which are total elites who have NO fun..."

"Oh, what group are you in Conis?"

"The Shandians, our captain's name is Wiper"

"Hmmm, I hope I can find one that I'll fit into too!"

"I'm sure you will" said Conis giving her an encouraging smile, "you hungry?"

"Kinda"

"I wonder what we're having today for lunch, the cafeteria here serves the BEST food!" exclaimed Conis.

"Great, I'm freaking hungry" said Nami following Conis down the stars to the first floor.

"Oh, I never asked, do you have any siblings?" asked Conis curious

"Actually yes I do, she's been going here for a while now, partly why my mom and I moved here, so we would be closer. Do you know Nojiko?"

Conis' eyes widened, "You mean Nojiko the all time cheer captain of the cheerleading team?"

"Uh yeah" Nami had forgot about Nojiko when she first got here, she had been so caught up in making friends that she forgot as if Nojiko never even existed.

"I do remember her saying that she was on the cheerleading team and I should try out if I were ever to go to Grandline Academy"

"Don't...I hear she works the cheerleaders to the bone since they're big time national champions, they're all super competitive. A lot of people are scared of cheerleading in that manner. I can't really believe your related, though I can sort of see a resembelence." she whispered

"Were not blood related though" How could Nojiko really be that scary?

"Her and her boyfriend Ace practically own the school"

"Is that so?" Who was Ace? It was hard knowing about Nojiko's life since she rarely ever came home since the University was 10 hours away.

They entered the cafeteria. "It's HUGE!" exclaimed Nami, the roof opened up to the blue, cloudless sky. They're had to be over 100 tables in here.

To the left they're was a a large glass door which opened up to the tables outside.

In the back, lining one wall was a large elevated platform where a few large tables were set up.

"Che, that's not all, wait until you try the food" said Conis pulling Nami along.


The girls seated themselves at one of the tables. They had each gotten themselves small sandwhiches.

"Aren't you suppose to sit with your crew?" asked Nami

"No, since it's only the first day everyone mostly just sits wherever they want.

Nami started up at the platform, there were 5 large tables, 4 of which were occupied. Something about them seemed different, everyone avoided it or looked down whenever walking past it.

"What is it?" asked Nami still staring.

"Mmm?" replied Conis, following her gaze. "Oh the upper yard?"

"Why is it called that?"

"Because they're the upper classmen, all top 5 crews in the school sit there, no one messes with them beca—"

The doors to the cafeteria slammed open revealing a raven-haired boy with a straw hat concealing his eyes. All of a sudden the cafeteria went quiet except for the 'Upper Yard'. His uniform was sloppily worn, with the sleeves rolled up halfway and unlike the rest of the guys he wasn't wearing a blazer the green-haired boy from this morning, right behind him. Following the latter of the two were 5 more people all looking down at the ground.

Conis leaned over to Nami and whispered,"That's Mugiwara no Luffy and his crew: The Straw Hats, possibly the strongest crew in all of the academy. They were strongest in High School too. Luffy is a freshmen here, but a few members of his crew arrived earlier and were dubbed strongest in the crew here not long after. Finally the famous straw hat had arrived, everyone was dying to see who he was. Hearing he was younger than the rest already made everyone tremble. I hear Luffy, his first mate and chef are called the 'Monster Trio' because of their monstrous strength,"

"That so?..." Nami whispered not really paying attention. She was so focused on the crew as they slowly made their way to the Upper Yard, seating themselves in the 5th table.

Nami doesn't take her eyes off Luffy. Something about him made her curious.

"Isn't he scary? I don't know why ,but he just has this aura that give me the chills," whispered Conis

Nami looks over again and thats when their eyes meet. "Oh..." she says, Luffy's eyes are filled with sorrow and emptiness. "really? 'cause all I can see is sadness"


Okay so what did you think? :) Che, yeah I know I mixed Conis with the Shandians, but only cuz she's like the only KNOWN skypeian besides her father...but anywaysthe rest of the crew are Shandians as well...I know crappy work with the chapter...Please review as always.

I know it's a short chapter, sorry but I'm going to be updating the next part of it VERY shortly, so just think of this one as a Part 1 kinda thing. The reason being is because I split this chapter in half and added on to them both. :)

-NO FLAMES PLEASE-
