Enjoy. I don't own One Piece.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The late bell rang just as Zoro walked through the door. He quickly scanned the room, taking a look at his new classmates, all of whom were staring and whispering about him and his green hair. As Zoro just stood there rooted to the spot and unsure what to do next, the teacher looked up from her desk. Realizing what everyone was making a fuss about, she stood up and beckoned for Zoro to come in further. The teen did so and nervously walked in the front center of the room.
"Ah, it's you." The teacher, smiling, slipped around the front of her desk and placed a hand on Zoro's shoulder. "Everyone, this is Zoro Roronoa. As of today, he's going to be joining our history class. I'd like everyone to stand up one by one and introduce yourselves."
And so they did. From the left of the classroom to the right, each student stood up and told their name to the new student. Most of them, after getting over the fact that the new student had strange green hair, didn't seem particularly interested in Zoro. However, there were a few that stood out from the crowd.
"HI ZORO! I'm Luffy!" A raven haired boy energetically stood up. He looked as if he drank 12 cups of coffee and was ready to bounce off the walls.
"Hi, I'm Nami." This red-head was beautiful. She seemed like one of those types of girls who was too smart for her own good, though.
"I'm Usopp, obviously the best student in the class." Zoro smirked at that.
'I can tell he's lying.'
When they finally neared the end, the blonde student Zoro had previously met lazily stood up and frowned at him. "And I'm Sanji."
Zoro nodded, mentally trying to remember the names that had just been told to him. It would take a while to remember who everyone was.
He looked over at the teacher who then said, "I'm Nico Robin- but just call me Robin-san."
Zoro nodded again, then trodded over to the only seat in the room that was vacant. Unfortunately, that chair happened to be right next to the kid Zoro had bumped into in the halls, Sanji. Zoro glared at him, sat down, and looked in the opposite direction. Sanji did the same.
After assuring that Zoro had found a seat, Robin-san picked up a dry erase marker and said, "Okay, let's get started with today's lesson."

After school was out, Luffy, Nami, Usopp and Sanji were loitering in the front yard of the highschool, chatting. After they were talking for a few minutes, Zoro walked past them. When he did, Luffy perked up in excitement and his smile widened further than it just recently was. Luffy turned to his friends and beckoned for them to follow him, then dashed over to the bored-looking marimo head.
"Ne, Zoro wait for me!" cried Luffy, running as fast as he could. In no time, he caught up.
Zoro turned around to see an excited 16 year old standing directly behind him and staring at him. He stopped walking and turned around, tapping his foot and crossing his arms. "What do you want?" Zoro asked, somewhat annoyed.
Luffy poked him. "I just wanted to say hi, so HI!" He sported a massive, innocent grin.
Zoro rolled his eyes and resumed walking just as the others finally managed to catch up with the two.
Not wanting Zoro to leave just yet, Luffy grabbed Zoro's arm, jerking him to a standstill. He still grinned, showing his bright, gleaming teeth. To Zoro, this kid was just another person, and he wanted nothing to do with him.
'Seriously. Why can't people just leave me alone?' The only time kids had talked to Zoro in his old school had been to either make fun of his hair or to annoy him. What would make this "Luffy" kid any different?
Even more annoyed than before, Zoro questioned, "Again, what do you want?"
"It's pretty obvious. Luffy wants to be friends with you!" the boy named Usopp said, laughing.
Zoro snorted, crossing his arms over his chest again. "I don't have friends. Never have, never will."
"Until now!" Luffy exclaimed, linking his arm around Zoro's. "C'mon, let's go to my house as a welcoming to you for joining our group!" Zoro looked at him as if he was insane. Was he really being serious?
Nami smiled. "Sure, let's go to Luffy's house. He owes me interest on the lunch money I gave him yesterday." She rubbed her hands together, as if gaining lunch money made her entire life complete.
Sanji took one look at Zoro and said, "There's no way in hell I'm going with that marimo head-"
"YOU ARE COMING WITH US WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" screeched Nami, bonking him on the head. "BE NICE TO ZORO, HE JUST GOT HERE!" Zoro was surprised by the instant change in Nami's mood. Then again, nothing really surprised him these days.
After Nami spoke to him, Sanji's mood almost instantly brightened, his eyes forming into heart shapes. He swooned, falling to his knees and looking at the red-headed girl with happiness. "Mellorine! Anything you say, Nami-swaaan!"
This time Usopp rolled his eyes. "Let's just go now…"
-The Next Day-
Zoro Roronoa was quite surprised. Because he'd never had any friends before, he wasn't quite sure of what to expect when "hanging out" at Luffy's. He'd thought it would be stupid, uninteresting, and boring. Honestly, he'd thought the whole thing thing had just been a joke... Instead, for the three hours he was at his new friend's home, Zoro was entertained. Luffy was fun to be around (although, admittingly he could be a little exhausting). Nami and Usopp seemed like they were nice, too. The only person that bothered Zoro was Sanji. Ever since they'd first met, the two had continuously been throwing insults back and forth.
'Why do we fight so much?' he thought.
Zoro really didn't hate Sanji. The blonde was the one who'd been starting all their fights (well, at least most of them)! Zoro was truly unsure of why he was hated by Sanji so much. Was it his green hair? His "loner" personality? Or did Sanji just hold huge grudges over stupid things like clashing into someone in the hallway?
As he walked through the school hallways the following morning, Zoro pondered on Sanji. 'Maybe our personalities just clash too much,' he thought, 'Even so, I still don't understand why he hates me so much. All I did was bump into him…'
The warning bell for the next period rang. Zoro lazily stepped into his math classroom, still trying to think of a reason why the blonde despised him so much.

And there's chapter two! :D Please comment and stuff. I know there isn't much of a plot yet, but I promise in the next chapter you'll see it begin to develop. The first two chapters are kind of just setting up the story, if you know what I mean. Thanks for reading this far:)
