Zoro decided to be left alone in the classroom. Not that he didn't want to spend time with his friends, but he just wanted this time to take a nap. He placed his head on the desk. Not long after more or less twenty minutes, someone knocked on the wooden desk.
He looked up to the stranger.
It was Robin, Luffy's new friend, which is technically now his friend, too. He quite expected that Luffy will befriend her right after Nami introduced her to his friends. He groggily stared at her as Robin stood in front of him, barely making eye contact.
"Hey." She told him as Zoro yawned before her.
"Hmm?" Zoro feign with interest, not wanting her to disturb his nap. Despite meeting Robin way back, there is still cold distance between them which really felt odd even to him. There are people who always assume that both of them are neither friends or foe since Zoro looked wary as ever when it comes to Robin. He can't further explain this feeling even to himself. He was suddenly taken aback to his thoughts as Robin began speaking.
"Are you free after school?" The girl asked Zoro, who now flustered on what she had asked him. Zoro was surprised at her hasty request. They weren't close that much and now she's asking him that all of a sudden?
"Wait, don't get me wrong!" She waved her right hand. It was now her turn to be embarrassed at what she had said. "It… It was Nami who told me to ask you if you want to go to the karaoke with them later," she huffed as she regained her composure, not showing her signs of being flustered earlier.
Zoro just nodded at her, placing his hands under his head. "What about you?" he asked her, arching his eyebrows towards her, not that he wanted to hang out with her. "Are you going?" he finished.
"I am not into this stuff, sadly." she timidly smiled, showing the book she was holding to him. "It's just, you guys might not want to hang out with a gloomy person like me," she finished, now fiddling at her skirt.
Zoro stilled for a moment, remembering what Luffy has said to him one time at the rooftop.
"Do you like our new friend?" The boy asked him, grinning from ear to ear, as Zoro grimaced at what Luffy just said.
"What do you mean? I think I might not get along with her," Zoro crossed his arms as he turned his back from Luffy. Resting his arms on the rooftop's railings, he gazed at the school grounds. His eyes saw Robin who happen to be walking home with Nami and Chopper.
"Are you sure? But she really is a great!" Luffy patted his shoulder, startling Zoro. Zoro grunted yet, Luffy continue to boast many great things that he happens to see on Robin.
"But if you look at her, she is kinda gloomy. Do you want that?" Zoro interrupted Luffy as he was about to show his pictures with Robin and Usopp. Luffy just stopped for a second to think, surprisingly. Yet, as stubborn he was, Zoro was somehow found astound on what his friend have told him.
"Well, who cares? As long as she is my friend, she won't ever be like that again. I want to make her happy, as you should do that too," Luffy stated with his serious face, as Zoro described.
Zoro just scoffed in disbelief, "If that's what you want, captain." He smirked knowing that Luffy do really have a strange power when it comes to friendships.
"Zoro?" He heard her calling his name, snapping back to reality.
"What?" He immediately responded to Robin.
"Should I tell them you're going?" Robin asked him, already heading out of the room.
"Wait." He said, stopping Robin at the door. "Do you want to join us? Luffy will be happy if you will join us in the karaoke." Zoro looked away, resting his hand under his head, not wanting her see his face burn with embarrassment. "This was not like me," he thought to himself.
Robin was shocked at first, since was not expecting that Zoro would actually be the one to invite her. But then she was happy. "Gladly." She beamed, which made Zoro's heart skip a beat.
As Robin was about to leave the room, Nami ran towards her. "Robin!" the girl said. "I was looking for you! Can you come with me in the club room?" she tugged Robin's arms, then she saw Zoro alone in the classroom.
"Hey, shit head! Do you want to come with us after school?" Her expression changed as soon as she saw Zoro.
"Yeah, yeah. I already told Robin about it," he said dismissively, not wanting Nami to disturb him again.
Nami just pouted at him, tugging once again Robin to come with her immediately. Robin muttered a quick 'good bye' to Zoro which Zoro just smiled thinly at her.
As soon as the girls left the room, recalling what Zoro said before she met Robin, he thought that his first impression was wrong. He made up his mind that Robin does seems fine to be with, after all.
