Law sighed as he looked at the clock, it was time for last period..in other words music class once again just like it has been for the entire school year..

The one class he absolutely hated above everything else.

Law actually adored music, it was his way to express emotions he just couldn't dissect and break down like he would his homework, and he was pretty damn good at it too, but with the school bully stealing all his and Luffy's hard earned projects and then making them his own, twisting them and tangling the cords into a painful song that made his heart ache to hear, listening to a monster originally from his own flesh and blood...

The medical student was failing....AND HARD.

He finally arrived to the room and warmly smiled taking a seat next to his longtime best friend, and also known as the whole school's ultimate popular kid, Monkey D. Luffy.

"Hey Torao..." Luffy's infamous smile was getting smaller ever since the bulling started last year, even though Law didn't like it one bit, there wasn't anything he could do without risking a pummeling, he knew it was cowardly, but standing up for themselves was just plain stupidity.

Yes, the two always tried their best to make him leave them alone, but not only did he always kick their asses at fights, but his right hand man Killer was always there to help Kidd out of their clever mind games and trickery.

Then the mentioned redhead just strolled into the room and viciously grinned at the two as they slightly cowered back when he eagerly approached for their daily mocking.

"Hey wimps, thanks for the 'inspiration' I think me an' Killer will be getting another A+" the bully chimed.

Luffy childishly gave the chuckling redhead a big raspberry as Law sneakily tossed him the middle finger as he passed by to his seat in the very corner next to the windows.

Just then, Mister Brook walked in with his usual yodel, except this time he had a calm looking teenage (H/C)-ette strolling behind his every step.

Law looked from under his hat and shyly blushed as he scanned her features, (E/C) sparkling eyes, (H/L) (H/C) silky hair and a cute average frame to boot.

You were simply adorable unlike all the mean, fake and slutty females infesting the school like greasy cockroaches, sliding under every crack and crevice, sneaking everywhere to steal information that isn't for them, hungrily scavenging for popularity and foresaking themselves along the way, there was no honor or dignity amongst them, just backstabbing and greed.

"YOHOHOHO! Ah, now everyone, please meet (Y/N)-san, starting today she will be your new classmate, so treat her like nakama okay?"

You gave the class a short polite bow as you scanned through them with an almost stony expression, the females thinned their lips and narrowed their eyes at you with unfriendly sneers on their features as they mummered and scoffed amongst themselves, then the boys either merely stared with disgusting grins or made lewd and cocky comments under their breaths.

To tell the truth, you were only here because your friends wanted you to have a 'normal' education like all the other kids in this crappy town.

Though looking at this crowd, all these people lost themselves and their kindness to their chosen paths long ago...

But your eyes caught the two boys sitting together in the near back and you inwardly smiled in slight relief, their eyes were very pure and friendly, yet they were troubled, no doubt caused from one of these sickening creeps.

Thank god the darkness in humanity's heart hasn't swallowed up everyone from the new generation, at least there was still hope of a good future for this race.

The teacher asked you to choose a seat, so you walked to the back and sat near the two boys who gave off good energy, no way you would endanger yourself by going near any of those other tainted teens.

While Mister Brook talked to everyone about the origins of jazz and what it means to the soul, the smaller boy with a strawhat and bubbly atmosphere turned to you and gave you a small smile laced with smooth skin and one to no wrinkles.

"Shishishishi~ nice to meet ya (Y/N)! You're pretty!" You mildly blushed at the innocent compliment and looked away, can't give the kid any ideas now, "Thank you, what is your name then?"

The teen just smiled more as he suddenly dragged the other lithe kid next to him into his side, 'this one seems to be one of those loud, mischievous children, how troublesome' you jokingly thought.

"This is my buddy Law, and I'm Monkey D. Luffy! The man that's gonna be a legendary adventurer one day!" The raven's cheerfulness was highly contagious as you found yourself smirking alongside him, what an excitable youth.

You were about to say more to him when Mister Brook cleared his throat and turned to the stage.

"Now, who would like to present their original song first today?"

Some kid raised their hand as you watched a ton of teens go on the stage one at a time and play a recorded song as they sang with it, but none of the songs were any good in your opinion..

Man, if it was you up there it'd be like a real life concert...not like you had anyone you could trust to perform with that were here, everyone else was back at home, probably doing something stupid and silly..

Finally the strange redhead got up onto the stage followed by a thinish but muscled blonde.

You didn't like the vibes you got from their eyes...you couldn't even see the other's eyes from under his wild bangs but you just knew they were just as bad as the redhead's, cruel and mean, just like a normal child, the young haven't lived long enough to learn true sympathy, so they just go on and pick on one another as if life is their little game.

"This is a duet called, DISTURBIA!"

Kidd popped in the disc as rock music played and echoed through the room.

Luffy gritted his teeth at the sound of what used to be their work, now the redhead messed it up and warped it into some goth rock...never has the cheerful raven felt so frustrated like he does on a now regular basis.

The worst part was...it actually sounded good, Law really wanted to hurl at his own thoughts and gorge out his eardrums so he'd never conceive such a horrifying thought again, but he just couldn't deny the redhead's..beautiful..amazingly sexy, gravelly voice whenever he heard it.

You scowled at the two hooligans as they struted off the stage with wide, cocky grins plastered on their faces, 'they definitely stole that song' you internally mused with a sigh.

Mister Brook clapped at their performance and looked at Law and Luffy with a somewhat expecting and disappointed look, "Law-san, Luffy-san, do you perhaps have anything to share with us today?"

As Kidd gave the two a savage smile they took put heads down in defeat and almost wept in the frustration that overwhelmed them, "I-I'm sorry Mister Brook, we...didn't finish on time..."

The teacher sighed as he shook his head sadly, but not suprised, "you two are failing in my class, I'm afraid if you don't come up with something soon you'll have to repeat a year" this made Law bit his lip until it bled while Luffy tried his hardest not to lose his shit and squeezed his arms until they went red and sore.

The musician looked towards you before stepping aside from the stage, "(Y/N)-san, would you mind coming to the stage?"

Following his instructions, you ignored the many stares of your crooked classmates as you stood in the blaring spotlight upon the stage, fear nor nervousness rattled you, your heart was as calm and collected.

"Now, can you please sing us a song? It could be anything you want, I just need to get a good understanding on how your voice sounds and all of that"

You felt excitement, now you could finally show these god forsaken losers how to do a real performance, one that makes professionals feel embarrassed.

You backed up into the backstage and took a beat up guitar lying against the wall in the corner as you struted back towards the microphone with a small smile, this guitar felt unused, in other words untouched by these ruffians and their brutish, amateur hands.

"Can I use this?" You lifted up the instrument feeling uncertain but he just chuckled and waved his hands with a wrinkled but toothy smile similar to that kid's, "I have no complaints whatsoever, go ahead"

Without waiting another moment you began to strum your fingers over the chords, dancing along the strings as you started to sing a song your friends sang to you all the time, ever since you were small.

The whole class was shocked by your soft angelic voice, heck, you were fit to be a top singer on America's got talent, "T-thank you for that wonderful display (Y/N)-san, I think I'll partner you up with Law-san and Luffy-san"

You smiled for the first time while there, and gave a small wave to the two boys in the back as they shyly cheered for you dispite the many strange stares.

'Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought..' you inwardly hummed, perhaps this was going to be enjoyable like they said it would.
