The one who walked off the front porch was like a dream, for a moment even Nami stared with aw…
If that was this Hailey girl… Nami understood why her mother wanted so eagerly to protect her… she was gorgeous, she walked with equal elegance as her mother but not quite as arrogant. Face was light with a curios smile and when her deep brown eyes Nami could see how well she was treated, like she had never had to worry about anything…
Raven black hair, waist long flowed like in a commercial and it was actually stupid how photoshopped she looked. With the time it took her to walk up to the car, Nami got a pretty good look at her. She looked European, with wide brown eyes and a sophisticated over all she would guess that she was ether English, German or Italian…
"Eeh hello…" she said and gave a shy smile…
"Remember your manners Hailey!" her mother's voice came screaming after her right after she dropped that 'hello'
"Yes…mama…" she said and looked down in a humble way. So Nami got a small tuck on her stomach…
"Um hello, I'm Nami…"'
"Weary nice to meet you Miss Nami… when shall school start…"
"Oh yes school!" Nami shouted and slided into the car…"come on in" she said and pulled the new girl into the car. She had a lightly scared look on her face and kept her hands close to her body…
"Hey are you the new girl?" Luffy asked from the front seat…
"Well, yes…yes I am…" she said and a small voice like somewhat sounding nice…
"Well nice to meet you! I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" he shouted and shot her one of his famous grins, Hailey looked a bit startled, but in the end she smiled back.
As the ride started and Hailey introduced herself to everyone, she was so shy and talked with such a low voice. Nami was getting a little pissed off about how eager the boys were to talk to this girl…especially Luffy…
As of Sunday there would be over two months since they started to date. And as of Sunday, there had been too long months of little Luffy happier and more excited than usual… they had planned Sunday to go to a hotel and spend the night, then be back at Monday. Nami was certain that Luffy had been planning this for weeks…since he decided it on his own…
When the car drove out of sight the same eyes that gazed upon little Hailey cross, last night was still there…and watched as she stepped and introduced herself and drove away. He licked his lips at the sight of her slim body and beautiful lines, her hair and face interested him he wanted to see her face up close… and he wanted to touch her face and lines…
This sounded so cliché but yet this was so interesting and fun when he thought about it, this would be al l to easy, all he had to do was get to know this little princess
In the car, Luffy and the crew were having the most fun getting to know the new girl
After they spotted the school gates Hailey was getting quite comfy. Or at least that's how it seemed she didn't talk much…not much at all…but at least she smiled and tried her best to keep the conversation going good.
"Ok here's our stop…Nami chwan, Hailey swan, may I let you out my dearest~" Sanji swooned over to the door; he let Hailey slide out and took her hand whilst doing so. She didn't blush… she didn't squeal…she simply smiled and walked out to the street, most likely used to the kind of treatment… but when Sanji was going to 'pay respects' to her by kissing her hand she snatched it back and giggled. She walked a few steps before looking up, when she did her jaw dropped. Up there where the incredible school of Gol D. Rogers elite private school for the gifted, incredible in size that is. With red roof tops and beautifully colored flags lazily flying in the wind, the lawn was huge and with many students walking about and having fun and running around…
"Wow…this place is amazing…" she said with a voice dripping with amazement…
"naah this is nothing much…Usopp said and walked up to her "I have seen much bigger places in the world on my travels!" he shouted with a loud proud voice, a smug grin over his face he watched as the girl turned her head to him and opened her mouth wider with aw…
"Really! That is so amazing! katapli̱ktikó…" she said and jumped closer to the long nosed liar..
"Have you been to Rome?" she asked and with exited eyes she took his hand…"you look so tan, of course you've been to Romi!"
Usopp looked a bit flustered as the exited new listened to him make up stories about his daring adventure in the roman city…
"Can you speak Italian? può adesso?" you said and looked up at him with hope full eyes...
"Eeh no I can't…"
"You're really impressed with this school aren't you?"
Ace was still waiting in the cool shadows of the tree. He was hot out and the mid day sun was ablaze above his head, he was getting a little tired of waiting this long. Even for his brother this was a little too late…
He listened for the sounds of a car coming in behind him… but none came, he didn't even know what the hell he was doing coming here… this Nami girl was one smooth talker. All her fault that he was here, he wondered who this girl was… he couldn't get a good image of her in his head. Oh well, he had decided to make Nami pay him for having to wait this long…heed say around 10,000 beli would do the trick…
Ace grinned and let loose in the thoughts of what he would do with the money. He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't notice the black van driving up it the gate…
"Wow this place is an amazing!" this voice brought him out of his trance. Then the voice of Usopp telling them that he had seen the most awesome thing ever in this travels around the world
"Have you been to Rome? You look so tan of course you've been to Rome…!" she said again… he didn't know this one…this voice was so smooth and feminine… he liked it, really liked it…
After a while ace decided to drop into this, he had to see this girl. It would no doubt that this would be that mystery now girl that he had to take time out of his life to protect, he would give her a little surprise. This would scare her…
"You're really impressed with this school aren't you?" he asked and walked from the shadows…
Ace probably didn't know this but the hell that happened, but when the tall dark stranger stepped out of the shadows Hailey got chills up and down her back…
"Eeh, yes…I've never been to a public school before…" she was amazed by the stranger that came out. She had never seen a more beautiful man. This was now her first time that she was introduced to the world outside…and this was more then she could imagine.
"Oh Ace there you are…" Nami said and smiled at him, he shot her a glance and then back at the French girl... Italian…British…whatever.
"And you are late… shouldn't you've been here around, what half an hour ago?"
"Hi Ace!" Luffy came from the car, holding Nami's hand. Ace noticed that and smiled, he got the little thing faster than Luffy did… his little brother just got lucky…
"Hey Luffy…Nami…" he said Nami's name not nearly as pleasantly as Luffy's. And she noticed that...
"So is this the little lady?" Ace asked and walked up to the little…European girl… he reached his hand out for them to shake hands…
"Yes, this is Hailey Cross…" Nami said and stepped out of the way. She saw that Hailey was a little nervous, did she not know what this about… Ace smiled and watched as the 'new girl' blushed and took his hand back, she was so curios… she didn't nearly ever do the hand shake any more… that was why she was the hell a lot surprised to find that Ace pulled her hand up to his lips and gave her a light kiss on the back of her hand
Naturally he knew the name 'Cross'. At the time they were the most influential family group in the grand line… everyone knew who they were, her father's face was on the front page of every newspaper… and magazines and just every freaking paper in the grand line. Of course he knew how to treat 'royalty'
"N-nice to m-meet you…" she said when she got her hand back. Face three shades redder then when their hands touched
Little time passed after that, but there was a clear that Hailey liked her now protector. Nami smiled and the feeling of success washed over her, the day passed with no sign of trouble, but Nami staid by her client's side and showed her around the ground. The P.E. was her favorite thing. But she told them that she loved to run but the problem was that she had the asthma case and couldn't run weary long without her inhaler, so she couldn't take any of them on a in a quick run around the field. The all came to all the new girl was weary excited about going t new school…this was her first time in a public school…and she was all the more fun to show around then anyone ells Nami had ever met, she was just so curios and exited for a little princess.
"And this is the history class room…" Nami said and led her into the room, filled with books and maps and posters with written languish that no one understood…
"And this is the teacher miss Robin, she teaches history, archeology and a little bit of biology…" Nami explained as she walked Hailey up to Robin's desk…
"Hi nice to meet you…" Hailey said and gave robin a slight bow…
"Hello nice to meet you too, is you new here?" Robin said smiling. She was one of these better teachers that all of the boys liked so much…not that her sexy choice of clothing had anything to do with that nonono
"Yes I am, I just came here yesterday in fact…"
"And where are you from? You don't look like you're from around here…"
"Robin…-"a man's voice hared from the door…
"Yup, I'm from Italy" Hailey answered and smiled proud from her Italian heritage…
"Robin?" the man's voice sounded again from the door, this time Nami looked and ignored the conversation between the two sophisticated young women. In here opinion, robin was way too young still to be a teacher. She was her friend, a really good friend in fact and she had just gotten this teacher job at about six months ago…
In the door stood the gym teacher the so called Red haired Shanks. Red haired from this burning red hair that he flaunted all over the place when he was running out in the yard… Nami's face brightened up when the gym teacher walked in. face red and flustered and hair blown out of his face…
"Hi there Shanks, are here for Miss Robin?" Nami had gotten the habit of calling robin 'miss' robin when they were in school…
"Yes, we were supposed to go to lunch together, but if she's too busy…?"
"Oh I don't want to be a bother!" Hailey almost shouted when she heard him say that and turned around so fast her hair flew with her almost like in the movies…'how stereotypical…' Nami thought and smiled.
"…" Hailey's face was a little dumbstruck when she laid her eyes on the gym teacher, and the little sound that came from her neck was just a little peak.
"Haha, you must be the new student…nice to meet you…" he said and walked up to her. Robin stood up and gathered her things while the teacher greeted his new student…
"Yeah…likewise…" she said and took the hand that was offered to her, but when she was suddenly pulled closer to him and felt a finger hook under her chin, her face when red like a tomato… "I honestly didn't expect you to be so beautiful…" he said and smiled an innocent smile…
"Alright, alright! Stop it, Your scaring her" Nami shot at him and dragged the frozen little princess out of shank's rather too close handshake… shanks smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. Nami opened her mouth to scold him more but was interrupted but the little princess
"Well that's fine; life's no fun without a little scare…" Hailey said like to prevent an upcoming argument… shanks looked a little shocked but snapped out of it fast and agreed with her smiling…
"Well are you ready Red hair?" robin said and pulled on his collar, dragging him out of the class room with a rather sheepish looking Hailey and a giggling Nami trying to get her to stop blushing
"Please don't take any offence to shanks, he's only flirting, doesn't men any harm…" she said and tried to conceal her laughter over Hailey's priceless face
"Uum- yeah…just …one question…think-"she said and looked Nami in the eyes, for the first time in the whole time. "When…in the holy hell, did men in this world become so beautiful?" she said and smiled at the statement 'haha, well what do you know…she made a joke…'Nami said and used the opportunity to burst into laughter.
"Haha, I don't know…" she said after a while and wiped a tear out of her eyes. "You think he's cute" she said and smiled when she blushed a little more…
"well…just –i-I guess…*sigh* yes, yes I do…" she said and shook her head…"mother is nowhere around so no need to be proper…" she smiled and lifted her shoulders in an 'I give up' manner "the only men I know are just only deep wrinkly and old geezer's that brag about their success to me…"
"Well that must be nice, being surrounded by rich folk's all the time…" Nami said and saw money over her eyes... they walked into the cafeteria and sat down at a little table…
"Yeah well, no its not…you see how exited I am to get into a public school, this is the most adventure I've had in my life…" she said and sipped a little Coffey- to-go (and frowned by it)
"Ooh, well then you'll like hanging out with us…trouble seems to hunt us down where ever we go…" Nami said and swallowed a whole cup of coffee without help. And for the third time this day then she stood without words...
"You're going to have to get used to this look, it will stick on you." Nami said and meant with the dumbstruck face she had on to many times today…
"Eeh I have no doubt that this school will prove to be quite interesting…" she said and tried to gulp down a half a cup of mediocre coffee. (Choked a little on it...) and then smiled at Nami.
Ace would not find that he couldn't leave his comfy spot under the tree… the cool shade covered him from the sun that for some reason was unbearable for him at this time… he liked the sun and the heat, when it was so hot he felt like he was burning, but now…this was unreal…
He kept thinking about her…she was in danger and needed protection…she didn't look like she could hurt a fly, probably couldn't ether but really…that little thing how could she be in danger. But come to think of it. There was always a little drama going on with the rich and stupid… and he and the crew were more often than not a big part of the trouble rich and important folks were in. and by big part then he meant responsible
She looked a little like a dream…when she walked out of the car he hadn't seen much of her but her shiny black hair, and when she turned around to see him…look him in the eyes… she had been all too different from whom he imagined, she had been perfect...in every way visible…and he hated it!
She was not supposed to look like that! The cross family prided them in their daughter. They were bragging all over the news. About their raven haired daughter… and he thought that a few years ago when the Cross's were travelling in Paris, That miss cross could not have children… this family was beyond weird!
His phone rang in his pocket his …a loud ring tone he'd gotten from Marco. Also meant that Marco was calling him.
"Hello…" he answered in a toneless voice
"Hey man, where are you?"
"Just outside hell I think…"
"Haha, I told you you shouldn't have gone…" Marco sounded like he was grinning. He had told him it was a bad idea, but as usual Ace had not listened…
"I think that would've been better…" Ace said and looked up into the sky and pictured her face. No she wasn't bad to look at…not at all…
"So who is she?" Marco asked he and he heard the sounds of men in the background of him woohooing and shouting cheering words, just like he had a chance to 'get some'
"…just some girl with rich parents…oh rich paranoid parents…" he said and smiled…
Marco laughed on the other side of the line, "Aren't they all paranoid for a good reason, when it comes to us? And what we do?"
"…well I don't think she even know who I am…"
"Ooh…well…lucky man!" Marco said like joking and Ace heard him laugh "but for real…who is she?"
"You always think it's something more than it is…"
"So what? Who is she?"
"Aaah…that's not important…" Ace said fast and tried to sound casual, though it came out a little too fast. Even threw the phone he could sense that his friend was smiling…
"Oh well…ill find out soon anyway" he said and Ace could hear him grin. "So when the hell are you coming back?" he asked and the sounds like a door closing the back ground, Ace guessed that Marco went into his room. Most likely to escape from the loud men in the background
"Well before diner for sure…" Ace said and leaned at the tree.
"Well I think that pop's is looking for you…"
"oh well tell him he's just gonna have to wait…" and with that said he hung up… he got on his motorcycle and drove far…far away from the school, the ground, his brother(and his girlfriend) and the little princess…Hailey Cross
There might be some spelling errors…just forgive me ;)
