Sanji needs a reason for Zoro to open the door. No way is he going to just let Sanji in. That's to easy and Zoro is not easy. Sanji then overheard the teachers talking about how much Zoro is falling behind. The teachers then talked about how no one is willing to go over to his house and hand the assignments over.

The other student outright say they don't want to go near him. Which makes the teachers upset because they are all scared of Mr. Hawkeyes. Which is understandable, Zoro is obviously afraid of his father (who isn't?) but so is Sanji. He's kind of scary looking and his eyes seem to stare at your soul. He's like a scary vampire. The teachers want to help Zoro but if they slip up Hawkeyes will most likely go after them. That's what Sanji heard. At least they really care. Sanji has heard gossip from Nami from other schools where kids get bullied from students and teachers alike. For Zoro it's just the students who are being mean.

So after hearing all that Sanji volunteered to deliver Zoro's school work which made all the staff happy. The whole situation made it perfect for Sanji. It wasn't really an excuse. He's not lying to Zoro, which is good because Zoro probably doesn't want to be lied to anymore. Sanji also doesn't want to lie to Zoro. Hurting Zoro is not what he wants to do, even before it wasn't his plan to but it happened and he did so now he's going to fix it.

Sanji stood in front of Zoro's house door nervous. He thought about how to say he's sorry. He even thought about making Zoro something, giving him chocolates, and flowers but thought against it. He'll just express his sorry with words. Tell him his side of the story. With Zoro its best to say things out right, not have hidden meaning. Zoro was never really good at understanding subtle hints. Not fully at least.

Sanji reached up with a closed fist and knocks on the door two times. When a minute past with no answer he tries again but harder. Another minute and he pounds on the door. He knocks again and again. Maybe Zoro has headphones on? Or he's asleep? Or he's in the back? Somehow he doesn't hear Sanji knocking. Sanji tries again and tries the doorbell, he then decides that if this doesn't work he'll tell the teachers and try again tomorrow.

Sanji raises his fist and gets ready to pound on the door but stops when he notices noises on the other side. The lock unlocking. He stops as the door opens just smidge. Enough to see the bolt still attached on the other side and most of Zoro. Zoro is wearing his pajamas and a wool sweater over it. His hair is moist and Sanji can smell him, he smells nice. He smells like coconut and strawberries. He must have just gotten out of the shower but his hair is a little messy so maybe he just woke up from a nap after being in the shower.

"What?" Zoro asks, voice horse and rough. His tone anything but friendly. Not hiding the fact that he is not happy to see Sanji. But Sanji will not back down. He'll apologize, that's why he's there, mostly there.

Sanji gives a friendly, reassuring grin and looks down at his messenger bag. He rummages through as he speaks. "Since you haven't been at school I came to give you your assignments and other work." Sanji pulls out a relatively thick folder. He hands it to Zoro who takes it.

"Thanks." Zoro says before closing the door in Sanji's face. He kind of expected that. But that isn't going to stop him. He knocks and rings the doorbell. "What?" Zoro asks annoyed.

"I was hoping to talk-" Sanji doesn't finish before Zoro shut the door again. He considered knocking or ringing the doorbell but he didn't want to anger Zoro more than he seems already. It's not all bad. He was able to see Zoro. Sure Zoro was not happy but he saw the man breathing and standing. That's good to know. He is still with him. His dream didn't come true.

Sanji smiled, he saw Zoro. His heart is still beating like crazy. He's never felt like this before and he can't wait to see Zoro again, even if it is through a crack of his open door. But the next time he sees the man he's going to apologize and maybe confess. If the mood it right.

The boy observed the straw hats from a far. Zoro didn't show up to school today again and Sanji hasn't talked to the others. This can't happen. The straw hats are his idols. They are cool with how strong they all are and they are nice. He's seen them fight and became an instant fan of them.

Its unforgiving that so many people are bringing Zoro down when they shouldn't. He knows Zoro is nice with others, so this is not how he should be treated. There is something more going on. Something that they don't know. He needs to figure out what happened and tell everyone the truth. Their hatred is miss guided and he plans to fix it. First things first, he needs to find out more about the video, like who edited the video together and whose recorded everything? When that's done he has his plan to make people understand what Zoro does that many people might not know.

With that in mind he went to the first place that makes sense. The film club room. They have the equipment for recording things.

He heads over there after school to see its moderately empty. It like no one is in the club. He looks around to find one guy at a desk looking at the computer.

"Um... hello?" The boy asks. The boy at the desk turns around to see who came in.
