Returning from the competition as winners, the debate team gets off of one of the seven school busses to celebrate their victory. Heading straight towards the head office to have their trophy added to an already fully stocked trophy case.

Majority of the kids had already left school or was doing an after school activity so they couldn't celebrate with them. Nami who is happy for the moment, celebrates with her schoolmates. First years, second years and third years. The debate club was open to all of the high school students.

Five minute after five thirty, Nami decided to throw away her juice cup and plastic plate with pizza sauce. They ordered pizza and soda on their way coming back to school. She takes her bag from the classroom storage and heads out.

Nokijo wasn't there to walk home with her because she has to rest for her early morning trip. In the school's front yard Luffy waves over st Nami. Luffy jogs up to Nami in his practice uniform with Sabo right behind him in his karate attire.

"Hey guys." She greets them confusingly.

"I saw you get off the bus earlier and wanted to congratulate you." Luffy explains.

"Thank you, it was a fierce competition." She smiles warmly.

"Vice president." Sabo bows at Nami jokingly.

"President." She bows in return. They both laugh at their silly greetings.

The three walk out of the schoolyard together heading for the bus stop that heads East. They talked as casual friends that would see each other everyday and every weekend. There was no awkwardness between the three since Sabo and Nami both already knew each other and Luffy recently became a friend of Nami.

"I heard them earlier in the office talking about it while waiting to converse with my guidance counselor." Sabo tells them.

What Sabo was telling them had Nami spaced out. All of a sudden Sanji is requesting a transfer? Either he already knew about this and kept this from her too or she was the reason why he was transferring.

She's snapped out of her deep thought hearing Luffy's voice. "Grand Sea Academy? Isn't that the school that defeated you guys last year at County?" Luffy asks Sabo.

"Yup, they're literally the best at everything but academics. We're the top dogs in that department."

"Is that where he's transferring to?" Nami joins the conversation.

"That's what I heard." Sabo shrugs his shoulders unsure if his information was true. "How are you guys going to make long distance work? I don't peg you for a girl that does long distance."

"There's nothing to make work, I broke up with him." She tightens the grip on her bag and grits her teeth.

"Oh." Sabo says awkwardly.

They walk in silence the rest to the way to the bus stop. The boys being scared to ask her anything and Nami being in deep thought.

The Cocoyasi bus can be seen approaching the bus stop. Luffy decides to break the silence before Nami hops on her stop.

"Hey Nami, what time are we meeting tomorrow?"

Tutoring Luffy completely slipped her mind. She's free tomorrow so any time would be good.

"Is twelve in the afternoon good?" She looks over her shoulder stopping midway of getting on the bus.

"Twelve is fine."

"Good...I'll text you my address." She says before finding her seat on the bus.

The bus takes off and leaves Luffy and Sabo to wait on their bus.

"She seemed pretty pissed."

"Yup, probably something to do with her ex. I shouldn't have brought that up." Sabo pats his thighs in disappointment.

"Who is he again?"

"Vinsmoke Sanji. The former leader of our culinary club. Man could he cook, have you ever tried his food? It's so mouthwatering."

"No, but you're making me hungry."

"I'll treat you to barbecue tonight."

Luffy jumps up in pure excitement. If he could eat and sleep as a career he wouldn't hesitate to apply.

Nami got home and put her things away. Finally, the weekend. Nokijo who's repacking in thr living room greets her little sister.

"Yo, how was the competition?"

"We won."

"That's my little sister. I'm so proud of you! Despite having a rough night you came back and made a tsunami." Nokijo chuckles.

"Yeah, not much happened today. Surprisingly nobody brought up the video. I didn't hear anyone gossiping. It was weird because the video definitely gave them something to talk about."

"It's because I was on campus." Nokijo jokes.

"Oh please, your not intimidating at all." Nami giggles and rolls her eyes.

"Oh yeah." Nokijo gets up from being on her knees and shoves Nami lightly.

Nami holds up her healthy hand forming a tight fist and lightly taps her sister in the shoulder.

Nokijo who dramatically pretends that she got injured from Nami punch fell onto the couch. Nami flops down next to her and they sat there giggling. Nokijo sighs and stares at the picture with her, Nami and their adoptive mother. Nami follows her gaze and her smile slowly fades.

"Make sure you bring home a pot of gold." Nami jokingly says.

"For her." Nokijo holds out her pinky finger.

"For her." Nami repeats her sister and locks her pinky onto hers.

The night came in fast. Nokijo was asleep and Nami stayed up to cook something in the kitchen. She scrolls through Kumagram as she waits for her meat to brown. Going back to the video she reads the comments.

'What a diva.'

'Heard she forgot to pack her medication,'

'Circus called, they want their clown bag.'

Nami rolls her eyes un-phased by the comments. She always had people hating her as she grew up. Elementary school. Middle school and even High school. It just gets old.

Surprised, but not surprised she gets a message from Luffy.

"Hey about earlier, sorry if Sabo and I made you upset about your ex."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. It's totally fine. You guys didn't know. I tend to keep my personal business private."

"I don't mean to pry, but is he the reason why you were so upset in the bathroom? You want me to beat him up?" Luffy sends the stong arm emoji.

Nami smiles to herself "at least there's someone in her corner." She thought to herself.

"Yeah, I was upset because of him and as mush as I would love for you to give him a good beating. He's all the way the France." She sends the annoyed emoji.

They text back and forth while Nami was finishing her dinner. Getting to know more about each other, their favorite hobbies, favorite foods and least favorite teachers. They shared funny videos they found on Kumagram and searched for their teachers Kumagram accounts to make fun.

Luffy was locked up in his room texting Nami and ignoring the homework in his backpack until he sees her tomorrow. They were showing each other some of the teacher's accounts they found on Kumagram. Boss Jimbei his teacher spent lots of time at the beach on the weekends. Mr. Lucci who frequently shops at a tailor and Ms.Nico who post the books that she's already read or currently reading. The next account set by Nami made Luffy's heart dropped to his ass.

"Although she's a former teacher at school, she's really popular on Kumagram. Almost twelve thousand followers." Sent by Nami.

He completely forgot about Hancock. He needed to break things off with her this week. He doesn't need her like how she desperately needs him. She's weird.

"Yup, she really is popular on here." Luffy texts back to play along. Changing the subject back to Nami he asks for her address which she admits she completely forgot about and sends him her address.

"After tutoring, you want to hang out with me downtown? Soul King is in town. We can go to his concert."

"Definitely. Sounds fun."

"Sweet. I'm going get ready for bed so I can be at your place on time. See you tomorrow."

"Night." Nami sends him.

"Goodnight."
