I don't own One Piece. Thanks for reading this far! :)

It was once again time for history class. Luffy, accompanied by Zoro and the others, entered the classroom and excitedly sat down in his seat. He twirled and twirled around in his chair, smiling like there was no tommorow.
Nami looked at him like he was a crazy person. "What are you so cheerful about? We have a test today, you know…" She looked like she was about to cry. Perhaps she didn't study...?
"….Which is exactly why I'm so happy," Luffy explained, "I'm gonna ace it this time!" He continued twirling around blissfully in his seat, whistling a tune.
Zoro chuckled. "Luffy, you've never aced a test in your life. What makes you so sure you're gonna do it now?'
As he said this, Sanji kicked his leg painfully and glared at him. "Stupid Marimo-head, neither have you!"
Zoro turned around, angrily, shoving Sanji with his shoulder. He was absolutely sick of fighting with the blonde haired bastard. However, Zoro, being the person he was, didn't want to make it seem like he was afraid of someone like Sanji or that he had no comeback. Therefore, he deemed it enough of a reason to spit back the words, "Shut up, Dartboard-brow! That's none of your concern."
As Usopp began attempting to break the two hot-headed individuals apart, Robin-san entered the room. She looked around and took in the situation. When she noticed that Sanji and Zoro were fighting, she walked over to them silently and tapped each on the shoulder. They immediately stopped when they turned around and noticed her smiling innocently (yet somehow ominously) at them.
Robin-san calmly said, "Please take your seats. We will be taking the test shortly."
The group dispersed and everyone returned to their seats. As the class's talking quieted down, Robin-san handed out the said tests. Zoro took one look at the first question and was bewildered. 'How am I supposed to know which war came first?' he thought, tapping his pencil on the desk in front of him. Maybe he should have studied.
As he was sitting there pouting and boring his eyes into the paper, Zoro suddenly realized how abnormally silent the room had become. It was as if someone had taken a remote control and pressed the mute button, and Zoro couldn't concentrate with the tense atmosphere that had suddenly formed around him. He kept his head down, trying as hard as he could to start answering the first question. Just as Zoro was about to fill in his response, his heart rate suddenly picked up and he began sweating; his palms began shaking as if he was freezing. In complete shock, he put his hands against the temples of his head.
'What the- what's wrong with me?'
Zoro looked around the room, taking deep breaths and trying to calm down. He had this strange feeling- a feeling that he wasn't the only one not paying attention to the test. What was wrong with him? He'd never felt like this before...
'Is-is someone watching me? Who? And for what reason? It's making me nervous...'
The longer Zoro sat there, the more and more nervous he became. He repeatedly would scan the classroom, trying to figure out who it was that was staring at him if there even was someone. He clenched and unclenched his sweaty fists. He rapidly blinked. But to Zoro's misfortune, his beating heart would not slow down no matter how hard he tried.
He forced a mental laugh out of himself. 'I'm becoming paranoid,' he thought, trying to pass off the feeling as if it was nothing, 'Tch. Who would've known?'
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Alright everyone, if you haven't turned in your tests yet, please do so now," stated Robin-san, smiling as always.
Zoro froze. He craned his neck and looked down at the plethora of unanswered questions on the paper in front of him. Sighing, he picked it up, stood, and walked over to the teacher. He handed her the incomplete test, then guiltily shuffled back over to his seat, head hanging. He was going to fail now because of that stupid feeling he'd had. Zoro gazed out a nearby window, trying to comprehend why he'd been so nervous while taking the test. Had someone really been staring at him for nearly an hour? Surely not...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (lol, that scene was so short)
Usopp, Sanji and Zoro sat down at their usual lunch table. During this time of the day, Sanji would always be grumpy because Nami wasn't in their lunch hour*, so he would usually eat his food and mope. Zoro thought it was kind of funny, the way he did that. It wasn't like it was the end of the world.
As the three of them sat down to eat, Usopp noticed the intense frown on Zoro's face, as if the kid was in deep concentration. For a brief moment he wondered if he should ask what was wrong or if he should just leave Zoro alone. Eventually, Usopp's curiosity won.
The black haired 16 year old leaned over and tapped Zoro on the shoulder, causing the other to stop spacing out and focus his full attention on him. "You ok, Zoro?"
"What are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine." he replied.
"Really?"
"Really."
Usopp crossed his arms against his chest. "I don't believe you. Trust me, I can tell when someone's lying!"
The 17 year old sighed and put the palms of his hands over his face, shaking his head. "Fine, I'll tell you. But you're gonna think it's really stupid…"
Thus, Zoro told Usopp everything, from the way his heart had pounded during the test to the way he'd clenched his fists nervously to the unanswered questions. He admitted how he felt that someone was staring at him, but he didn't know who it was. All the while Usopp would nod his head, trying to understand what his friend was trying to convey to him. As he was explaining this, out of the corner of his eye Zoro noticed Sanji had frozen and had his eyes wide open.
'The hell? What's wrong with him?'
Zoro shoved the blonde lightly and asked, "Oi. You okay?"
Sanji suddenly tensed up. "Y-yeah! Why wouldn't I be?" He fidgeted with his food, acting like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
The green haired teen blinked. 'Sure doesn't seem like it. …Whatever. It's not like I care.''
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
*Luffy's not in their lunch either. Just thought I'd clear that up.
Phew- we finally got some plot going now! I was beginning to fear that this story would become pointless XD. Anyways, please R&R! I'd really appreciate it!
