Kid's POV

Those stupid Strawhats were making a ruckus again. They're even louder than the noise created in the canteen. Damn they were annoying. From what I heard them exclaim, I suppose they want to join the elections. I don't get what's so great about it but if I have a chance to beat Luffy in anything, I would. Personally I'd prefer to fight mano a mano but to defeat him in another way would surely hurt his pride and finally shut those idiots up.

"Killer, we are going to take part in those dumb elections." I ordered. Killer looked at me confused. His hair was blocking his eyes, always wondered why the guy was so shy.

"But why Captain?"

"We're gonna use this opportunity to bash those loud-mouthed Strawhats. They pissed me off for too long. I'm gonna go as a President nominee and you the vice-president."

"But what happens if we win? I doubt you'd care bout the school."

"Heh heh, doesn't matter, if we do we'll just withdraw and give the position to someone else we picked. I just want to use the campaign and election to humiliate Strawhat as much as possible." There was a delicious scheme in my mind forming, and it grew more menacing with each thought. Oh how sweet revenge will be. That damned Strawhat will learn to not interfere in my business as before and make me look bad.

Bonney's POV

The Strawhats were shouting about joining the elections, and I saw Kid having a nasty grin on his face. I had a bad feeling that this election thing would escalate into something awful.

"Penguin, what's with Kid?" Law asked. Penguin shrugged in confusion and I realised that Law noticed what I did.

"Law I think Kid's plotting against the Strawhats, but why would he do that,I mean I never felt any enmity between them-"

"Bonney, they had a huge confrontation once and they ended up in a tie. Kid has a huge ego and he hates anyone stepping on it, so Kid held a grudge against the poor clueless fellow."

"How come I don't know about it?"

"It happened before you came. I was just glad someone stuck up against Kid. He's an ass. I would stand up to him but never found the right opportunity."

"I bet you could kick his ass Law!" Penguin exclaimed. I hoped Kid didn't happen to eavesdrop on our conversation as he and his gang walked past us. I hate Kid but I didn't want to get on his bad side. They gave us the stink eye. Law and Kid had a bad history too but I don't want to go into the details.

After our break, it was time for assembly. I sat beside Law on the cheap fold up chairs the school bought in the school hall. I attracted a few stares from some girls behind which really annoyed me. I know Law was popular and I think some girls were suspicious about whether we are together cause I kept hanging out with him. I like Law, he's pretty funny, mature, cool but he keeps teasing me sometimes and he's way smarter than me and stuff so I don't think I can see us going out together; we're just too different. The girls at the back kept sniggering, probably criticising my pink hair or something. I hate these bimbos who think they can criticise everyone but themselves cause they think they are more attractive than everyone else.

"Would you keep it down, the assembly's going to start soon." Law smoothly requested. The girls nodded their heads eagerly and when he looked back into the front, they swooned at him. Ew much.

Robin's POV

The Principle, Mr Iceburg, got onto the stage and started the assembly. He first went through the achievements and accolades earned by our peers and then the prize presentation. The next item was what everyone was anticipating for.

"Now, as you all know, the previous Student body committee has stepped down and we need a new committee. So, would anyone be willing to take on this responsibility? To make this school a better environment for his fellow peers and future generations to come? To-" Mr Iceburg wanted to continue but he was cut off by his secretary, Kalifa, who signalled him to cut his lectures.

"Oh ok, as I was saying, we need nominees. Now, before you nominate, there are a few rules. One, no nominating yourself, two, only the juniors are able to participate and three, think carefully before nominating. Ok, so any brave souls?" He looked around before Ussop raised his hand eagerly.

"Yes long-nosed student."

"I nominate Luffy as President and Zoro as vice-President!" There was some applause from the audience and Luffy and Zoro stood up casually. I looked at both of them and realised they had emanated some sort of radiance, I wasn't sure if it was the lighting. I gazed at Zoro longingly, was it a wonder why I loved the man? He was charming in his own way, he's got an adorable, but horrid, sense of direction and he is such a mature and determined soul. Though he may seemed flawed to most, he was perfect to me. I couldn't ask for a better man. I just wished he took his studies a little more seriously…

"Ah, great. Anyone else?"

Just then, the doors of the hall flung open. It was kicked open by Eustass Kid, he walked in casually and was followed behind closely by his gang. I could see Luffy and Zoro grit their teeth and leer at him as he entered rudely. I never understood men and their pride, but I knew Kid was an awful person and his gang was no better.

"Sorry we're late Mr Iceburg, we forgot that there was a crappy assembly today." Iceburg scowled at them. These students gave his school a bad reputation and were a bad influence. Kid laughed haughtily and proceeded to speak once more.

"And me and Killer are going to take part in the elections."

"You can't nominate yourself."

"Then I nominate them!" Said a gang member of Kid's. Seeing them just made me get goosebumps. Zoro sat down and I buried my face in his chest. These people disgusted me and I wished they weren't in our school; I know they wanted to participate only to go against Luffy and Zoro. Everyone else looked on at the rude intruders shocked raw, the only non-surprised faces were replaced with angry or cautious ones.

"Then I nominate Law for President and Bonney for Vice-President!" Penguin shouted as he pointed at Law and Bonney. Law just gave Kid the dirty look but Bonney gaped at what she heard. This really took me by surprise.

Nami kicked my chair to remind me of my cue.

"And I nominate Nami as President and Vivi as vice President." The applause was louder than before and Kohza shot Vivi an encouraging smile. Vivi smiled back. Luffy grinned at Nami and she smiled sheepishly. Sometimes the most outspoken person can be the shyest when in the limelight.

"Alright then, anymore nominations? No? Well then, we have our nominees: Nami and Vivi, Law and Bonney, Kid and Killer, Luffy and Zoro. Campaigning would start officially next week and voting by the month after next." Everyone applauded the brave souls but some started to whisper amongst themselves, discussing who was best for the role of President and Vice President.

After assembly was over, all everyone could talk about were the candidates and their attributes and flaws. It then dawned upon me that I would have to decide between my best friends, Nami and Vivi, or my boyfriend and a great friend. Luckily I had a month to decide.

Bonney's POV

"YOU ASS WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" I yelled at Penguin. Come on! I'm new in this school, don't subject me to such humiliation.

"Well, I thought Law would make the best President and he needed a Vice President so I thought you would be best for the role."

"What the hell made you think that?"

"Er, I thought you two were going out and that you'd be comfortable to be with him."

"Urgh, why does everyone think we're going out. Law you have to clarify this to everyone that we are not going out!"

"Everyone, we're not going out…"Law mimicked feebly. I boxed his arm lightly and he rubbed the 'wound', smiling at me apologetically. That smile was so adorable… wait snap out of it Bonney, don't go falling for any guys right now. He is cute but he's way out of your league. My insecurity sure got the better of me sometimes…

After lessons, I went back with Mr X in his Mercedes(where'd he get the money to afford that?) and the journey was quiet as usual. The rest of my day was rather uneventful physically, but my mind was clogged up with ideas or thoughts about the elections. It was a huge hindrance to my concentration and instead of doing my homework, I winded up emoing on my bed with the headphones on. Music is my life sometimes, No Doubt, Linkin Park, Green Day, The Killers… their songs cheered me up. I mean every lyric they have in their songs kind of relates back to me one way or the other. Feels almost as if we've shared the same experiences… but I doubt any of them participated in the elections unwillingly!

Dinner was a quiet affair, Mr X didn't mind me gorging every possible piece of food on the table. Food is always my life! I need it to live, okay so does everybody but I crave it more than anyone, ever!

"So how did you manage to get into the elections?" I swear I choked on my food.

"Ask that stupid Penguin! He's one of the best in your Math class right? I'm sure he had some crazy idea that me and Law could be good Presidents for the committee-"

"Does that mean you're going out with Law?" Dang it I just want to throw something in this guy's face.

"NO! Not even interested! We're just good friends! Anyways the main topic here is the election!"

"Just curious. Well, I believe you can do it Bonney. I believe if you put as much effort you do in your studies as you do for these elections, you could make it." He smiled politely at me, almost reminds me of the way Zoro's girlfriend smiles. Mr X saying words of encouragement to me, gives me some spark of hope. But then again, he could be saying it to make me feel better.

After finally straightening my mind, I managed to complete ¾ of my homework and left the rest to tomorrow. As I slept with my Green Day t-shirt on, I dreamt of Law and what could happen if we won, what sweet dreams…
