"Scary..." Nami ducks beside as you lean on the railing of the bridge to the school library.

"What is?" You hum watching other students pass below.

"That new guy, just look at him!" She points. You glance at the redhead that sat alone on a bench away from all the groups.

"Ah him... Doesn't he have one arm?" You hum unimpressed. "And his name is Kid isn't it? Can you imagine growing up with that name? Everything someone said, 'Hey kid!' he'd have to look around to make sure it wasn't for him. Must've drove him crazy..."

"Gah! He looked over here when you said that!" Nami jumps behind you, making you blink back from imagining it. You look down at him to find his head turned to yours and Nami's direction. Nami was being a bit paranoid, there's no way he could've heard you two from there.

"Lets see if he's actually looking." You smirk, lifting your shirt a bit. He looks away at that. "Huh... Maybe he thinks your pretty." You nudge her before continuing to the library.

"You're crazy you know that?" She gasps hurrying after you.

"New people don't last long here anyway. Doesn't matter what he thinks of me." You respond. Nami frowns lightly.

"Anyway, want to go to the mall after school?" She asks.

"But it's a Monday." You grumble.

"Why do you hate Mondays?" She whines.

"Mondays are bad luck." You scoff. "And even if I do, I can't stay long, I'm studying with Law."

"Oh right, your home school boyfriend." She giggles.

"He's not my boyfriend." You tell her, though, you didn't mind looking at the guy. Law had to be the hottest guy in this small town you called home. As a plus, he was pretty much all yours since he made himself a recluse.

"Can I see a picture of him again?" Nami asks.

"Yeah, I got a picture pf him sleeping on Friday." You show her.

"Awww you're so lucky! He's so cute." She gushes. You smile at the picture lightly.

"Yeah, he's pretty great." You hum before putting your phone up. "So, what's the movie you want to see?"

"You know me so well..." She sighs. "You know... The new pirate one..." She blushes lightly. You hum to yourself, becoming thoughtful.

"I do like pirates." You finally say, making her light up.

"Yes!!" She cheers happily. "The theater is going to be empty again!"

"It is pretty nice when its quiet like that." You comment as you both sit at a table next to a raven haired girl reading a book. "Good morning beautiful." You hum, "What terrifying book are you reading now?"

"The Shining." She answers simply with a small smile.

"Again? You really like that one huh?" You comment adjusting your shoes.

"I love it. Anything interesting this morning?" She inquires.

"Not really besides Nami making a deal about the new guy, again." You answer.

"How can you not be intimidated by him!? He could be a killer and you flashed him!" Nami defends, making Robin giggle lightly.

"First of all, he only saw my belly, and second, I'm pretty sure you need two hands to kill people." You shoot back.

"It would be difficult to kill someone with one arm. Especially when they fight back." Robin agrees. You point to Robin, nodding at Nami.

"Nevermind, Robin's scarier than him..." The strawberry blond sweatdrops.

"And Robin's freaking awesome, maybe he's cool too." You comment.

"I heard his schedule is getting changed today because of the classes being over crowded, perhaps you'll get to find out." Robin hums, peering at you through her tinted glasses.

"Maybe. Anyway, we're going to see that new pirate movie after school, wanna join us?" You ask.

"Sounds lovely."

First class was needle working, and as Robin had predicted, in walks the one armed new guy. Eustass Kid. You huff lightly looking down at your materials as the teacher makes him take the seat beside you.

You peek at him as he frowns lightly at the materials before him. "... Fuck this school..." He mutters.

"Come now Eustass, give it a try." The teacher says.

"I have one arm." He holds it up, already looking annoyed.

"Well, maybe one of your classmates can help." The teacher suggests.

"I'll help you~" Diamond flirts behind you.

"Didn't the last guy you helped have a rash after?" You hum making the small class hold back laughter.

"Fuck you ___!" She snaps.

"Not with the shit you got." You shake your head and even the teacher snickers.

"Why don't you help him then ___?" The teacher tries.

"Because he doesn't want to be in here sewing, he has one arm. This is like a messed up joke." You point out. "Leave the guy alone."

"Alright then." She hums. Kid gives you a grateful but awkward nod. You just offer a shrug in response.

"So he's in sewing, p.e, and literature with me." You hum eating your candy.

"Sewing? He has one arm!" Nami huffs.

"That's what I said. Then Diamond tried to make a move on him but I stopped her, he's already handicapped, he doesn't need a STD on top of that." You scoff. Robin giggles at that.

"How thoughtful of you ___." She hums.

"Right? I'm very thoughtful." You boast as you enter the mall with them. As you had expected, there weren't many people walking about as you and the girls go to the theater and buy the movie tickets for what Nami wanted to see.

"Twenty minutes they said." Nami sighs.

"Lets eat then, I'm hungry." You start to lead the way. Someone rushes up behind your little group and snatches Nami's purse. You instinctively grab his arm and he swiftly turns about, slapping you across the face and making you let go before dashing off. ".... Did he just slap me?"

"Don't go to jail." Robin says before you take off after the guy.

"YOU BETTER RUN YOU LITTLE BITCH!" You shout, gaining on the guy quickly. He checks over his shoulder and gives a surprised cry, running away faster. You were pissed, no one got away with hitting you. He yanks someone into your path and you run straight into them full force, making you both go down, sliding over the tiles slightly.

"Ow..." Kid huffs when you lift yourself off of him.

"Sorry!" You breathe before looking up as the guy disappears around the corner. "Im gonna kill him." You growl bursting after him. You turn the corner and bolt after him, catching up again. He glances over his shoulder and curses skidding around a fountain only to be tackled down by Kid. You skid to a halt beside him. "Thanks."

"No one uses me as an obstacle." He growls getting up and picking the guy up by his collar. You were impressed by the strength of his one arm and smile a bit.

"Now, how about you apologize for pissing us off?" You smirk at the purse snatcher.

"S-Sorry!" He coughs, trying to get free. You hum before sharing a glance with Kid.

"Nah, still angry, let me drown him in the fountain." You request. Kid's lips lift slightly at that.

"That'll put you in jail ___," Robin's voice makes you look back as she and Nami catch up. Nami takes her purse, glaring at him lightly.

"Fine, let him go.." You sigh. Kid huffs lightly and does so. As soon as the purse snatcher's feet touch the ground, your leg swings up into his groin, full force. He squeaks and slowly falls over holding himself. "I feel better now." You turn back to Robin and Nami with a smile.

"Good, lets go eat." Robin smiles, turning to take the lead. You pause, glancing at Kid.

"... It sucks wandering around this place alone. You can tag along if you want." You offer him. Making Nami and Robin stop in surprise. Kid glances at you, silent for a few moments before giving a small nod.

"Thanks, but I don't want to bother you ladies. Have a good time." He hums before heading off. You blink after him and frown lightly.

"Thought you didn't care about new people." Nami smirks.

"I don't, but there's no way I could've caught that speedy bastard on my own. Plus, that tackle was pretty boss, and I can appreciate that."
