Oh my God... I am so sorry!

I can't believe how stupid I am. I'll try not to repeat this mistake...

Enjoy!

He heard his alarm going off, that was unusual. And he even reacted to it. It wasn't like he had any interest in going to that stupid place called school, but he was curious. Curious what would happen with this strange acquaintance he had made yesterday.

Grunting he forced his body out of the bed and into the bathroom. He had been freezing yesterday, so he chose to wear a shirt today. It was quite unusual for him too, really. But he would get himself some pneumonia if he didn't take care. Law was right about that.

Law. Bringing him back to the topic of their weird meeting the day before… What on earth had happened there? They've never got anything to do with each other and then 'boom' out of the blue they got along like they knew each other for ages!

Shaking his head he put on his usual coat and left the house. He would be fucking early for today's first lesson, but couldn't bring himself to care. Maybe he hadn't even noticed. He was walking down the street, heading for the school without really caring.

Deep in thoughts he didn't see the man standing at the school entrance. The other had seen him the moment he set foot on the school grounds and watched curiously as the redhead approached the door. Still not looking up, his shoulder lightly touched the other and made him flinch. He looked up.

"Trafalgar Law." It was more a statement than a greeting and somehow the sight of the dark haired man made him smirk. Law raised an eyebrow at him and threw his cigarette away. "You're early." The taller man just nodded. Law laughed and stepped past him and into the building.

Wondering once more what had caused this strange bond between them, he followed Law into todays society's unofficial prison. With a loud thud the door snapped close behind them and seemed to seal their fate. Sometimes he wondered if the architects had planned this building as a prison and only later realized it was supposed to be a school.

"Or maybe it just didn't make a difference…" he muttered, ignoring the questioning look he got from Trafalgar. Then the dark haired man smirked, walking ahead to the door that would lead them from a grey corridor into a grey class room. He sighed, a sound that made Law chuckle and look back. "Happy to go to our language class, Mister Eustass?"

He looked at the other, raising a hairless eyebrow. Mister? Shaking his head lightly he walked past the other man and entered the room. Immediately all eyes were on him and for the first time today he really realized that he had successfully made it to the first lesson.

With a broad grin – he had surprised a whole classroom, just by appearing – he made his way to a seat in the back. He was aware that Law was following him and it felt so natural it was already rather creepy. What the fuck was going on here..?

"Got your pencil case this time?" Law just nodded and dropped into the chair next to him. Then he didn't move anymore. The redhead looked at him questioningly. "You can't really know, but we're currently watching a film." A film. In a language class? What the fuck!

"Indeed we're watching a film, Trafalgar. And we are supposed to make notes!" The shrill voice came from his left and he quickly turned his face to see who had broken the comfortable half-silence he and Law had shared. An orange haired woman stared at them, her eyes glowing and he could have sworn that tiny flames leaked from her breath. Who on earth was this?

"No worries Nami-ya. It's all in my head." She snorted at Law's comment and turned on the heel to walk back to a girl with blue hair. Was he even in the right class? Apparently he must have looked a little shocked because the next thing he noticed was Law bursting out laughing beside him.

Focusing his gaze on the dark haired man he raised a hairless brow and waited until the other had calmed down a little. "We have a joined class today. Jeez, how long have you ditched the first class again?" The redhead laughed and shrugged, how should he know?

Trafalgar smirked and turned his head to the door where a teacher had just appeared. Briefly the redhead wondered who the hell this was, then he noticed the frown on Law's face and decided that for once his ditching had nothing to do with him not knowing.

The man looked more than strange. His pullover was an odd yellow and he wore sunglasses. Hello, it was December for crying out loud. His name followed the strange appearance and Eustass decided that if you were called Borsalino you could technically also shoot yourself. Instead the guy had obviously settled for making himself even more ridiculous than he already was.

The lesson was boring enough to make the redhead regret coming to school in the first place. Packing his bag he headed out of the classroom and disappeared from the grey building. Half-heartedly he had expected Law to follow, but the dark haired man didn't.

In the same absent-minded fashion he had reached the school, he walked over to the river side. He let his bag drop to the ground and sat down beside it. The ground was cold and made him shiver but he didn't move away. He felt strangely lonely out of the sudden but he couldn't point the finger at the reason why.

Rubbing his temple he stared at the slowly flowing water. It was Friday. He would go drinking tonight and everything would be fine again. As long as he didn't meet Law again, he would be ok. He needed to clear his head and the strange man would certainly not help this process.
