As far as Luffy could tell, he had finally made it back to the usual area for Junior classes, but he still didn't exactly know where he was going.

"That girl from before would know exactly where to go..." His stomach grumbled loudly. "Man, why does lunch have to be so far away..."

He continued down the hall just a little longer before just randomly opening a door.

"I'M NOT SKIPPING GYM!" a voice shouted out from the small closet inside. That is till the teenage guy inside noticed it was just another person his age outside the door. "...I mean... Of course I'm not skipping gym... Because I don't have gym right now, obviously..."

There was silence between them, not counting the slight nervous laughter.

"Hi," the weird black haired teen greeted. "I'm Luffy!"

That seemed to calm the other down a bit. "...Er... It's nice to meet you, Luffy. You can call me Captain Usopp!"

He looked confused. "...Are you the soccer captain?"

Usopp looked nervous again. "...ah... Luffy, how long have you been at this school?"

He counted on his fingers for a bit. "Less than two weeks."

"That would explain it..."

"Explain what?" Luffy worried sightly.

"Oh nothing," the teen went on. "It's just a good thing you bumped into me when you did, because nobody knows this school quite like I do."

"Then you have to join my club!"

"Wa- What?"

"Join my club! It'll be great!"

Usopp cleared his throat. "...Well, I'm honoured you would think of me as first member mater-"

"Actually, I already have Zoro and this Senior girl who's amazing at directions..."

The young Junior freaked out. "Then why are you asking me?"

"Becuase you said you knew about the school," he restated. "Plus, it'll be fun!"

"I do know so-" He shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I really have somewhere else to be right now..."

"You mean the closet?" Luffy asked motioning to the small room the teen had just come from.

"NO!" Usopp took a sharp breath. "Look, maybe I'll see you around sometime again, okay?" he explained before dashing off down the hall.

"Kay! Don't forget the club!"

The tanned long nose Junior snuck almost expertly through the school. He was now in the specialised classrooms, which were usually only open to the students in a specifically designed program.

He stopped at one of the doors, almost sure it was the right one... not that he had her schedule completely memorised or anything.

The teen took a few deep breaths to try and get up some courage to open the door... And then somebody shouted at him.

"Usopp! What are you doing here?"

"...ah... Hi, Kaya..." he answered nervously. "I was just... on a walk..."

The pale thin girl sighed. "You really need to stop doing this."

"... Yeah..." He smiled, even though that probably wasn't meant to be a positive. "So, how are you? It seems like we rarely see each other anymore."

"I know," she replied slightly downcast. "But I have to finish this program; you know how important it is to me."

"Of course!" he agreed. "I would never say anything against that! I just feel like we should see each other more, like we used to..."

She laughed. "You just need someone to test out your stories on, don't you?"

"Hey, I'll have you know the Language arts teacher said I have a natural talent!" he defended, but it was more for show than anything.

Before any more of their mid-class hallway convene could continue, another figure was headed down the same way straight for them almost threatening to end their moment... Till it started talking, that is.

"Why does this school have to be so confusing!"

"Wait...Luffy?" Usopp directed, though he was almost sure he was right.

It was, in fact, the same young back haired teen, just as he had thought. "Hi Usopp! I think I'm lost, again..."

"Well yeah, these are specialized classrooms; only students with a designed program from one of the teachers in this section are even allowed in here."

"You mean you're in a special program?" Luffy asked.

"...uh... Not as such, actually..."

The teen looked slightly angry at this. "Then why are you here?"

The young girl standing nearby finally waved at the newcomer. "Hi... ah... Luffy, right? My name's Kaya." She smiled for a moment. "How do you know Usopp? I didn't think he had any other friends..."

Luffy quickly snatched the reply first. "We're in a club together!"

"Really? Which one?"

"The one I just made today!" he admitted happily.

"Wait, you just made it?" Usopp inquired, suddenly wondering if the other two supposed members even knew they were in a club yet.

"I hope you understand that a club is hard work," Kaya intervened, "You have to find members, a place for them to meet, know what every meeting will be about, and have food ready for when the meetings start."

"Wait, that's right!" Luffy shouted suddenly.

There was silence for a few seconds before Usopp asked, "What?"

"We have to find our cook!" He took off down the hall once again.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY OUR COOK?"
