"Wait, Luffy! That's not how it goes!" Usopp reminded his captain. "Don't you know the math basics?!"
"Eh?" Luffy whined. "They're so confusing!"
"But this is just division, multiplication, addition and subtraction!" Shachi shouted.
"They're still math!" Luffy defended. "I hate them!"
Nami sighed. She was right about taking the easiest part first. "First of all, before we proceed to solving, Luffy, what is math?"
"Mental Abuse to Humans." Luffy answered bluntly.
Everyone looked at him with disbelieving eyes, some faced palmed.
"Can we skip math first?" Kid growled.
"Well, we're already done with the other subjects that we'll have a test on the first day though." Law sighed in irritation. "Only Math…."
"You can go home already." Luffy murmured while pouting. Of course, they all heard it.
Law felt a tick on his forehead. "No can do, Mugiwara-ya." He clenched his teeth. There is no way, he'll let those two gang with Nami!
Sanji interrupt them when he started to clean the plates in their table.
"Sanji, I want more soup!" Luffy whined.
"No, do your Math first." Sanji ordered. "I went through all the trouble to make soups for all of you so that you have energy to study." He murmured and disappeared to the kitchen.
Nami looked at the clock. Time Check! 6:30 huh? Studying from 5pm until 6:30 is so fast. Why? Because Science was easily thought by Law and made them all understand easily. Usopp explained some tips about Art. Nami just told them that Psychology requires memorizing so they can do it anytime in anywhere. But Math….. Nami narrowed her eyes as she looked at the young grinning boy in front of him. Damn it, Hina-sensei! It's your fault for being TOO nice to these boys. When Luffy whined about something, she'll skip that part and straight to some Math tricks. So much for wanting to be the main heroine in Hell's class.
"Can't we just let Luffy failed in Math?" Zoro stretched lazily.
"Grandpa will toast me up good!" Luffy shrieked at the thought of the principal cracking his knuckles while glaring at him.
"I'm just kidding." Zoro laughed. He knows Luffy's punishment. "But, we already explained many times about that problem."
"It entered my left ear then left through my right ear." Luffy laughed. "My ears are so mysterious!"
"No, that's just you being an idiot." Usopp slapped his head.
Nami opened Luffy's notebook and sighed. She began to write some numbers. "The easiest problem is addition." She got an idea from their drama class earlier. "Addition is about ADDING."
"I know that, are you an idiot?" Luffy looked at her with half lidded eyes with matching action; picking his nose.
Nami got the urged to pounce him hard but resist it. "Anyways. Just answer my problems. 39+55?"
"That's pretty hard!" Luffy cried.
"No it's not!" Everyone argued.
Nami tilted her head. What if… "You have 68 meats and Usopp gave you more 75 meats, how many meats do you have?"
"143 meats!" Luffy raised his hand excitedly.
"It's amazing how you thought of it fast!" Usopp clapped.
"What? Are you an idiot?" Luffy looked at him with an annoying face.
"I don't want to hear that from YOU." Usopp barked.
"39 meats +55 meats = ?" Nami continued.
"94 meats!" Luffy answered happily.
"How can he answer that in a fast pace?" Killer murmured unbelievably while watching Luffy answers all Nami's addition problems.
"Let's move on in Subtraction!" Nami cheered. "You have 290 meats and Usopp stole your 290 meats? How many are left?"
Luffy gaped and glared at Usopp, who was peacefully drinking his tea. "How dare you?!"
"How dare me?!" Usopp choked his tea.
"Sorry, let me change that." Nami sweat dropped. "Luffy has 290 and Usopp ate 69 of his meat. How many meats are left with Luffy?"
"221 meats." Luffy whined. "I hate the fact that Usopp always steal my meat."
"Why is it me?!" Usopp argued. (comically) "It's just a problem solving right?!"
"Stop blabbering and let's get this over with." Zoro annoyingly said.
Nami looked at the time again. She wanted to study alone! "Luffy, remember. If you encounter Subtraction, you just have to think that Usopp stole your meat."
Luffy pouted at the thought of his meat being stolen but nodded.
"If you encounter addition, you just have to think of Usopp giving you MORE meats."
Luffy's face lighten up. Kid swore he could see a dog's ears on Luffy's head and a tail wagging behind him.
"If you encounter, division, you have to think that you're SHARING your meat with everyone."
Luffy's face fell. He obviously didn't want to share his meat.
"If you encounter Multiplication, think of your meat being multiplied many times."
Luffy's face lighten up again and cheered. "I LOVE MATH!"
Nami turned around with an evil smirk on her face. She gave a thumb up behind her. 'That takes care of him.' She thought.
Sanji wiped his hands as he entered the living room. "Nami-san, I just finished washing the dishes, is that idiot finally got smarter by 1%?"
"That's rude." Luffy pouted.
Nami ignored Luffy's pout and sighed in relief. "Sorry Sanji-kun for making you do some chores."
"It's fine, the kitchen is my heaven." Sanji laughed proudly.
Nami smiled sweetly. "Thanks." She turned around to face the others and began picking her notebook and pens. "Now that the studying is over, I would now like to have some privacy."
"But it's only 7pm!" Luffy, being the childish person in class, whined. "Let's play first!"
Nami wanted to go back to her room but it seems that she can't do that easily. She sat beside Zoro who was nearer. Luffy gaped slightly at the sight but decided not to bother. He looked at Usopp and grinned.
Usopp can clearly see his captain's sadness. "How about we watch TV?" Hoping to change his friend's mood.
"Again?" Bepo groaned. They watched TV before Nami arrived.
They all changed their arrangements of seat, except Zoro who was clearly satisfied beside Nami.
[IMAGINE TIME!]
There is a long sofa in front of the TV; in their middle is the square short table where they study.
In the long sofa, each side there is a two person sofa. In the right side and the left side.
There is a furry mat under them, where Kid and Zoro fell asleep. Nami and Zoro were sitting in that long sofa.
Zoro sat in the farthest right side of the long sofa, and Nami sat beside him. Kid beat Law to Nami's left side. Law growled and sat beside Bepo in the right two person sofa. Killer chuckled at his captain's childishness as he sat beside his captain. Sanji sat beside Killer. Penguin and Shachi sat at the two person sofa in front of Law's sofa side; facing them.
Usopp and Luffy sat the furry mat in front of the long sofa.
Their backs leaning on the sofa's legs. Usopp leaned between Zoro and Nami's legs, and Luffy unconsciously leaned on Nami's legs. Nami looked at him and found it cute of him. She smiled and put her legs apart slightly for Luffy to leaned on the sofa comfortably. Her legs were now in front of Luffy's shoulder. He chuckled silently as he grabbed Nami's legs and keep it there. At least, he wanted to be close with her before this day passed. Unfortunately, Zoro, Kid, Sanji, Killer couldn't see the little scene between Nami and Luffy but the Heart Pirate does, especially Law who was now, had his heart ached.
"What're we going to watch?" Nami asked as she flipped on the channel. She passed on some erotic channels, animes, music channels, soap opera….
"I saw a trailer earlier before I went here." Usopp said. "It is a good movie, I suppose."
"What's the title?" Bepo asked.
"Shadow People." Usopp smirked scarily. "It's pretty scaaarrryyyyyy~~~!"
"I bet you're the one who will cower.." Sanji snickered.
"I do not!" Usopp argued. "I watched the trailer bravely!"
"With your mom beside you or while hugging a pillow?" Zoro teased.
"Oh shut up!" Usopp barked.
Nami shivered at the thought of SCARY MOVIES but she put on a brave face. "Let's just watch this channel. Hot Fuzz."
"I already watch that so let's go with Usopp's offer." Zoro stole the remote and find the channel.
Nami argued and tried to bring back the remote from Zoro's stretched arms. "Give it back!"
Zoro laughed as he reached the channel. The intro was starting… Shachi ran and closed the lights.
What they didn't catch before the lights went out is Nami and Zoro's lips accidentally touched lightly when Nami was fighting for the remote. Nami didn't care about the kiss, she just gave up when Luffy grinned and locked his legs in his chest. Nami was now forced to watch some suspense/horror movie with these guys. Zoro touched his lips and snickered in his mind. 'Lucky~~~'

"Arlong-san." Kalifa knocked on his office's door. "You wanted me here?"
"Oh yes, come on in." Arlong called from the inside.
Kalifa opened the door and saw Arlong sitting in his chair with Chu and Kuroobi in each side.
"Why isn't Cat Burglar active today? Normally she's working right?" Arlong stared at Cat Burglar's manager.
"If we make her work continuously, it will lead to her schoolmate's suspicion." Kalifa explained. Half of it are true though. "Is that all?"
"No, there is someone Nami knows who will tutor her every time, to make up with her late studies." Arlong snickered. "I want you to tell her that."
"Who is it?" Kalifa asked.
"That would ruin my surprise, then. What're you going to do now that Cat Burglar is in the break?"
"Nothing in mind." Kalifa adjusted her glasses. She wanted to ask Arlong about his contract with Belliemere but she couldn't. If she ask it, Arlong will know that she's been going to Cocoyashi secretly.
"If you don't have anything to do." Arlong interrupt her mind. "Go to the main city and inform Shiki that Cat Burglar will perform in New World Academy next next week."
"But I thought it's their School Festival?" Kalifa panicked. She's so not going to like the idea of this villain.
"I have made some arrangements. She WILL perform, am I understood?" Arlong said in a scary voice.
Kalifa shook and nodded. "I understand."
"Tell Nami to be busy next week, the week before their stupid event." Arlong continued. "I won't tolerate any failures and embarrassments in the very event."
Kalifa nodded. "Is there anything else, Arlong-san?"
"I don't want to say my orders directly in Nami's face. It's not worth it." Arlong chuckled. "Let's see. Tell her that we're going to have dinner in her place."
Kalifa's eyes widen. "Eh?"
"You heard Arlong-san." Chuu said. "Don't make him repeat himself, stupid human."
Kalifa gripped her hands in anger. What're they plotting now?!
Arlong gave him the time of his departure to Nami's place and Kalifa excused herself to warn Nami.

Nami's phone shook in front of a drawer. It is in vibrate mode…..
