Hello, everyone! All of your reviews are so inspiring! I just have to keep writing more! I'm brewing up some new stories! You guys are going to absolutely love them! (I hope...! D: )
I don't have much to say today... (That's also because I just wrote a bunch of stuff but forgot to click "Save" so it just deleted everything I wrote... so, I've got to start over...which really sucks...) So, let's get started!
DISHCLAMAH: All of the characters- Wait... wait a second...
Let me try again...
DISCLAIMER: All of the characters in this story are owned by Oda-sensei.
"Where are we going next?" Luffy asked Usopp. They had already been to Math Class and History Class. The Math teacher was an odd man whose name was Mr. 3, who Luffy referred to as just 'San'. It made sense, after all: the Japanese word for three was 'san' and the Japanese suffix for 'man' is '-san'. The History teacher was a kind, old man named Professor Clover. He had the best haircut in Luffy had ever seen. It was in the shape of a clover. He was probably the best sponsor for St. Patrick's Day that has ever lived!
"Lunch," Usopp replied.
"Wha-Really!" Luffy gasped in excitement, "I didn't know that they served lunch at these places!"
"Yes, really," Usopp answered in confusion. It was insane how excited he was getting. "You didn't know that they served lunch here, Luffy? I'm pretty sure that they sure that other schools serve lunch. What do you think they'd do? Starve us? Where did you go to school before this?"
"Oh, I didn't go to school before this," Luffy said, "I was home-schooled by a family friend, Dadan. My brothers and I were taught by her because my grandpa wanted us to become strong soldiers."
"Soldiers?" Usopp repeated.
"Yes!" Luffy nodded. "My grandpa wanted the 'best' for us, so he taught us and trained us our entire lives how to be strong navy soldiers. He didn't want us to have the exposure to 'this sort of environment' as he phrased it."
"If your grandfather wanted you to become a navy soldier, than why are you here instead of Seifu Academy?" Usopp asked, "This school is sort of rebellious. They're not really on the side of the government... They teach martial arts regularly, too."
"Oh!" Luffy explained, "Well, my older brother, Sabo, bought the money to get me into this school. My grandpa doesn't know that I go to this high school. I haven't seen him in years!"
"How do you think he'll feel when he figures out that you're going to this school, Luffy?" the long-nosed teenager asked.
"He'll be mad."
"What are you going to do, then?"
"When he realizes? Why, I'd do the safest thing possible, of course: run!" Luffy exclaimed. "Oh, and I noticed something very strange here! When I got here, I saw some kids just beating each other up as if it was normal! What's up with that? It's insane!"
"Oh... Well, Luffy, they're acting like it's normal is because it is," Usopp explained, "People are usually beat up by bullies here. You've gotta be careful, Luffy! They're strong! They can seriously hurt you, too!"
"If that's so, then I can see why Grampy didn't want me coming here!" Finally, the two arrived at the cafeteria. It was an enormous, white-painted building with a long booth on the right where old ladies were serving food to the high school students. "Oh, wow!" Luffy gasped, "This place is so sugei~!"
They walked up to the cafeteria counter, grabbed a tray, and waited for their turn to get their food. Luffy grabbed his stomach when he felt and heard it growl loudly. It was extremely difficult to wait patiently for Luffy when he was so close to the food that he could see and smell it. Looking around, he decided that the only way to wait patiently was to occupy himself with something else. Luffy looked at the relatively tall teenager in front of him. He had tattoos that covered his forearms, hands, and fingers. He had a goatee and dark blue hair that was hidden under a fluffy white hat with black dots on the bottom of it; the only part of his hair that was visible was his goatee and his sideburns. The man spent his time busy texting on his phone as he waited for his food.
"Um..." Luffy tapped on the teenager's shoulder. "Hello!" he greeted happily.
The man turned around to look at the black-haired teenager. His face wore a bored frown as he said in an uninterested, low, monotone voice, "What?"
"What are you doing?" Luffy asked him.
"I'm texting to a friend of mine," the teenager replied.
"Are you allowed to be on your phone at school?" Luffy asked in confusion. 'I didn't know! If we are, that's awesome!' Luffy thought to himself.
"Are you allowed to talk to me?" the man challenged.
"Oh... I see..." Luffy sunk down, realizing that he probably shouldn't have started a conversation with the dark-blue haired man. Men with tattoos on their fingers that spell out the word 'DEATH' should not be trusted...
Suddenly, a tall teenager with red, spiky hair and square goggles wrapped onto his forehead jumped up from in front of the teenager. He laughed with a smirk on as he teased them, "Aw, don't worry, new guy! This guy has always been a pain. He's like this to everyone. You should try being nice to people, Law! If you are, maybe I'll stop telling people about the thing you hate most in the world!"
Law sighed impatiently. His expression was not visible through the brim of his hat which now covered his eyes. "Why am I always stuck with people like this? I don't think that I ever did anything to deserve such a punishment... This school is too crazy for me. Everyone I meet here is insane. I mean, look over there."
Law pointed to a group of extremely muscular men with beards and mustaches wearing the female uniform. They skipped through the cafeteria with their fingers curled in their palms, their arms raised up to head level. As they giggled, sparkles flew behind them as they ran, giggling a word that sent chills down everyone's spines, especially one certain man. The word the called out was a name, "Sanji-kun~!" After they called that out, there was a scream that echoed through the cafeteria. "Don't worry, Sanji-kun, we're coming for you~! There is no need to scream anymore~!"
"What. The. Heck," Luffy said.
"Amazing. Now, I have someone that actually understands," Law said in a mellow tone. His accent was so mellow that even his interjections didn't have any emotions.
"Are they even allowed to where the female uniform? I mean, really!" Kid asked in disbelief.
"I-I don't even know anymore. I don't know what to think. This world is just too insane nowadays," Law said.
"Next!" The old lunch lady called out in a rough voice.
"C'mon, Law! Let's go, dude! It's our turn, man!" Kid called out to him, waving his hand in a gesture to come closer.
"No, please. Go ahead of me. I don't want to order my lunch with you. It'll make me be sick of the food. Even the thought of ordering lunch with you makes me sick to my stomach," growled Law.
"It'll be fine! C'mon over here, dude!"
"No, just go. Go away."
"I said, Come 'ere!"
"Gah...! No...! Kid...! I can't breath, stop strangling me...! Let go of me...! I can't breath with your arm around my neck, Kid...! I can't...! Gah...!"
Luffy and Usopp watched as the two men chose their lunches and left the counter. "Next!" Luffy ran up to the counter and looked around the choices as if he was a child looking into a candy store. "Oh, wow! There are so many choices!" Suddenly, Luffy stopped when he saw a large loaf of meat on a white plate. "Excuse me? What's this meat made of? I see orange and green spots in it," Luffy asked the lunch lady.
The lunch lady shrugged.
Luffy bulged his eyes. "Oh-" He looked at Usopp. "Oh my!" He looked back at the meat. "You mean that it's," Luffy said as he turned to the lunch lady again, "mystery meat?"
"I... I guess so, yeah," the lunch lady answered in a tone that sounded as if she was annoyed at how long he was taking.
"W-wow! I can't even...! I mean, I've heard of mystery powder, mystery islands, and mystery animals, but never have I ever heard of a mystery meat! This is just amazing! I've got to try it!" Luffy picked up a piece of the mystery meat and also took about everything else. Usopp didn't take too long choosing what he wanted for lunch; most of the food, he said, was just junk.
"Come on, Luffy! I'll show you where I sit!" Usopp walked out of the cafeteria to a red-colored table directly outside of the entrance to the cafeteria. It was under the shade of a large oak tree. It really was quite beautiful under the tree, leaves gently falling down to the ground, sunlight being filtered through the branches, and the quiet laughter of people at other tables. Three girls already sat at the table, two blonde haired girls and a blue haired girl. One of the girls had short, blonde hair with pale skin; the other blonde haired girl styled her hair in a ponytail that stuck straight up with a sphere on the end making it look like she had antennae. (Author's Note: Wow... I don't know how else to describe them but by their hair... Um... Yeah... I'll just try to finish this paragraph quickly, then...) The blue haired girl had long blue hair.
"Hello, Usopp!" The girls greeted. They sat down at the table. The blue-haired girl looked at Luffy before asking Usopp, "Who's this, Usopp? Is this the new guy?"
"Yep!" Usopp nodded. He grabbed Luffy's shoulder as he introduced him, "Guys, this is Luffy! He's my new friend!"
The short-haired girl smiled at him. "Any friend of Usopp's is a friend of mine! It's nice to meet you, Luffy!"
"Luffy, let me introduce my friends to you!" Usopp pointed to the short-haired girl, "This is Kaya, my childhood friend. She's very nice! Her family is a very wealthy family which is how she was able to come to this school. Don't worry, she doesn't brag about her money. Like I said, she's very nice." He pointed to the blue-haired girl, "This is Vivi! She's Kaya's friend, and also very kind. She is a descendant from a royal, Egyptian family, so that means that she's also very rich. Vivi often travels to Egypt since she still has relatives there, which I think is super cool." Lastly, he motioned to the blonde-haired girl with the strange-hairstyle, "This is Conis. She comes from a village high up in the mountains; it's so high up there, you could say that you're walking on the clouds! Conis isn't rich or anything, but she's still really nice. You're going to love all of these girls, Luffy! Trust me, they're amazing!"
Luffy nodded in thanks to Usopp. It helped a little for him to introduce them, but he was still nervous. Being crowded around girls his same age still made him freaked out; it wasn't that he liked them or anything, it's just that this was the first time being around girls his same age. What were girls like? Were they exactly like men? Did they like to fight, hunt for bugs, and go on crazy adventures like he did? 'You shouldn't treat them like they're different, Luffy! They're just like guys,' he tried to tell himself.
Vivi smiled at Luffy and began to start a conversation with him, "So, Luffy, do you like this school?"
"It's very nice! I've never been a place so large!" Luffy exclaimed in excitement, "I especially like that you have things like mystery meat! I've heard of so many things that are mysterious, but never mystery meat! I love meat; it's the best!"
Vivi laughed nervously, "Yeah... Luffy, I can see that you like it, but I don't suggest that you eat that..."
"What? Why?" he looked down at his mystery meat, "It looks fun!"
"No, no, I know that you might feel that way, but it doesn't taste fun. Trust me, Luffy. You don't want to eat that: it's bad for your health."
"F-for my health? Oh my God! T-they serve things here that can kill you?" Luffy gasped.
Vivi laughed. "Oh, no! It doesn't kill, it just makes you feel awful next period. You won't be able to concentrate. The only reason why kids eat this is to get out school because it gives you... well, food poisoning," Vivi replied.
Usopp, Vivi, Kaya, and Conis watched at Luffy's tan face went pale (like a vampire! Sorry 'bout that intrusion... I'll leave now...). Luffy grabbed the mystery meat and threw it into the trash can that was about ten feet away screaming, "They're trying to kill me with the thing I love most in the world!"
"Wow...! That was a really good throw, Luffy! Like...crazy good!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Luffy smiled, "I'm good at pretty much anything that's athletic, actually!"
"Can you fight?" Vivi asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"Then you'd probably like the Martial Arts Club, Luffy," Conis said. "Why don't you sign up?"
"Martial Arts Club? That sounds awesome!" Luffy exclaimed, "How do I sign up?"
Vivi pointed over to a board at the front of the school. "That's the Club sign up sheet. Clubs have just started this week. There are some fliers for certain clubs tacked up onto the board. They're is a sign-up sheet up there, as well. On the sign-up sheet you write your name, your locker number, and the club that you're interested in joining. For athletic clubs, such as the Martial Arts Club, there are tryouts. On the flier explaining about the club, it will say when and where the tryouts will be. You're not allowed to leave the cafeteria grounds during lunch time though, so you can probably look at that stuff after school. Just ask us if you need any help, OK, Luffy?"
Luffy nodded, "I will, thanks!"
Finally, lunch was over. Luffy waved good-bye to Vivi, Kaya, and Conis, feeling proud that he had so many nice friends already. It was already his first day, and even Luffy knew that he was lucky to get so many nice friends on the first day, or any at all! "Follow me, Luffy! I'll show you to where the next class is!"
"Huh? And what's that?"
"Shop Class! The teacher is great; you'll love him!" Usopp replied.
"Shop Class?" Luffy repeated. What was that? Was it a class teaching you how to shop? That was for girls, not Luffy...
BEST ENDING EVER~! Nah, I'm kidding. I think that this is pretty much the worst ending I can do, but I got nothing left. I wanted you guys to meet the Shop Class teacher in Chapter 7. He's great, you'll recognize him right away! ;)
THIS CHAPTER WAS SO FRIGGIN' FRUSTRATING! I had to restart this chapter two times! I know that that doesn't seem like a lot, but for the amount that I had written when I accidentally clicked SOMETHING to make it go to a different page and not save everything that I had written, it is a lot! :( The next time I write this, I'm going to write it on Word and then paste it in here! :( Maybe then I'll have it better!
See you guys later! :) Bye~!
