Acquaintances

You continued to sit in silence while Ace, Sabo, and Luffy sat in the back seat with you. Ace took the window seat opposite of yours, Luffy sat beside him, and Sabo sat beside you.

The two dark haired males were talking about something while Sabo continued to keep his attention on you. He crossed his arms on the seat in front of him and lay his head while keeping his gaze on your flustered self. You tried to ignore him and stare at the road from your window view, but his reflection caught your attention every time.

You sighed and turned to scowl at him, but when you saw his face you felt yourself melt.

Sabo smiled when you finally turned your gaze to him and lifted his head. "So, what is your name?" He began. "You never told us and since you know all our names, it seems kinda unfair." He chuckles lightly.

Ace and Luffy stopped talking and turned to look at you curiously. You felt another gaze and glance over at Franky, who was grinning at you from the rear view mirror. Well, gonna have to say something sooner or later...

You took a deep breath. "M-My name i-is (N-N-N—)" You slammed your head on the seat in front of you and began to sulk. Why, oh why, can't you just manage to say your own name all of a sudden?

Sabo's eyes widen in shock when you slammed yourself. Ace smirked while Luffy tilted his head in confusion.

"H-Hey, are you okay?!" You felt a hand on your shoulder and glance over to see Sabo's worried face. You sulk even more. Great. I made him think I went crazy. Smooth (Name). Smooth. You groan at yourself for your inability to socialize properly.

Hearing laughter, you look over and see Luffy laughing at you. "You're really funny! We should be friends!" He says with a grin.

You can't help but smile back at him. You relax and sit up. "Sorry..." You mumble, casting your eyes away from them then laying your head on the seat in front of you and stared idly at the road ahead.

There was silence then a sound of movement from the side. A figure passed by and sat in front of you, your nose touching his. You squeak in surprise and back away with your hands over your nose. Ace laughed. "So you really are shy. That's cute~" He muses.

Sabo scoffs at him. "Don't scare her, Ace."

"Bah, you're just jealous that we almost kissed~"

"W-Wha—I am not!"

"Yep, totally are."

"SH-SHUT UP!" Sabo blushes madly and, after locking eyes with yours briefly, blushes even more and promptly covers the lower half of his face. Luffy laughs hard and falls unto the floor with his hands clutching his stomach. You could feel the contagious laughter pulling your lips into a smile and releasing out a giggle.

Sabo and Ace look at you but you couldn't stop giggling. "S-Sorry...That was just so cute~" You giggle some more. Sabo flushes bright pink and steam was coming out of his head. Ace laughs at him.

After calming down a bit, you wipe the tears that began to fall. "Hehe...Sorry I didn't mean to laugh at you, Sabo." You offer him a soft smile. "My name is (Name)."

Sabo just stared at you with pink tinted cheeks. Ace pulls his cheek and grins mischievously. "Well, well~ Didn't think Sabo was one to be a victim of love at first sight~" He chuckles, earning a slap on the shoulder from Sabo.

The bus suddenly stops and all four look to the windows to see that they were parked on the pier. "Franky? Did we get lost or something?" You ask him.

"Hold on to whatever you can, kids!" The bluenette grins and back up. You and Sabo pale while Ace and Luffy look at each other in question. "This is gonna be—SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!" He yells and floors the gas pedal. The bus began to speed up and head for the ocean!

"WHAT—" Sabo began, arms grabbing you out of reflex.

"THE—" You gasp while grabbing Sabo.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU—" Ace's eyes popped out of his head as he screamed.

"AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!" Luffy had his arms up in the air as the bus flew out of the pier. Franky pushed a red button located on the joy stick and the bus vanished.

"We're heeeeere~" Franky stops the bus and turns to look at you. "What's wrong?"

Ace was passed out on the floor. Luffy was poking him on the nose. You and Sabo were clinging to each other for dear life.

"Heh. Don't worry. You'll get used to it." Franky smirks.

"NO WE WON'T!" You and Sabo yell in unison, still clinging to each other.

Franky laughs and opens the bus doors. He left to get your bags out while Luffy was trying to carry Ace on his back. Both you and Sabo glance at each other and, upon realizing your positions, release your holds and look away.

"Sabo, help me!" Luffy whines. Sabo stands and grabs Ace's other arm and drapes it over himself to carry the unconscious brother.

The campus was surrounded by pine trees. A large courtyard lay in front of the main building. There were two large buildings on the far ends of the forest: one pink; one blue. You look around and notice that there were walls surrounding the entire campus grounds that stretched for what seemed like miles.

"Oi (Name)!" Franky calls for you and sets your trunk down the entrance of the main building. Luffy looked around with curious eyes while holding his duffel bag. Ace, now finally having woken up, opens the door and heads inside.

You follow after them and search for the office.

"Excuse me," You ask a woman with shoulder length black hair and soft blue eyes. "Where can we find our rooms and schedule?"

The woman smiles at you and bends over to get eye level with you. "See that door there?" She points towards the end of the hallway where a single wooden door stood. "That's vice principal Boa's office. You can get maps and your class schedule over there." You nod and say thanks before heading off.

Knocking twice, you were responded by a woman's voice telling you to enter. The room was quite large and even had a connecting greenhouse. A white desk full of paperwork was sitting at the center of the circular room. You spot a slender hand reach to the side of a stack of papers and push them away to get a view of your faces.

"Can I help you?" The woman with long black hair asks. She was tall and well-endowed, as well as unearthly beautiful. You stare in awe.

"We're looking for our rooms. Oh, and we need our classes too." Luffy chimed in with a smile. The woman, who you assume was vice principal Boa, opened a drawer and took out several sheets of paper and four maps.

After giving each of you a map, she hands the papers and instructed you to answer the questions truthfully. After doing so, she places them among the pile of papers. 

"We will be sorting out your classes. Come back in two days and I will have your schedules ready. Here are your room keys," She takes four keys from the board behind her where many keys hung on hooks and hands them to you. "You are free to do whatever you want for two days EXCEPT cause trouble. Have fun~" She muses and waves.

You follow the map to your dorm, which was the pink building you had seen earlier, and proceeded to the second floor. "Room 275...Here!" You set down your heavy trunk and unlock the door.

Peeking in, you spot someone already inside the room and had occupied one half of the room with her belongings.

Your roommate looks up as she heard your trunk being dragged in. "Oh, do you need some help?" She asks.

"No, thanks, I got it." You grunt as you swing your trunk over to your bed.

"My name's Koala. I assume you're (Name)?" You nod. "Yep, that's me. Hey Koala." You wave, not bothering to look at her because your energy was drained from climbing up the stairs.

Koala giggled. "I've never had a roommate before. This is so exciting." She smiles and you glance at her. She was a fair skinned girl with orange/brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a crimson newsboy cap and a pink dress.

"I hope we'll be great friends, (Name)!" She beams at you. Well, at least your roommate was friendly.

Later that night, you unpack your things and head over to the cafeteria with your new friend and roommate Koala. She was a rather bubbly character, which you didn't mind, and shared a lot of interesting stories.

"So, (Name)," Koala speaks up as both of you line up to get dinner.

"Yes?"

"Since you're here that means you've got special abilities, right?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"Awesome! What is it?"

"Uhh..." You weren't really sure what your abilities were exactly. All you knew was that the World Government was desperate to get their hands on it. You shrug.

"Eh? So you don't know yet?"

"Nope." You reply, raising your tray higher to receive your meal from a blonde cook with braided mustache.

"Aww...Too bad." She pouts, raising her tray after you.

You both walk over to the far end of the large room and quickly found an empty table. Setting your tray down, you sat beside each other and began eating.

Koala tells you about her abilities of something called Fishman Karate, which you find impressive despite the fact you had no idea what that really meant. You glance upwards as a shadow suddenly loomed over you.

It was Luffy. "Hey (Name)! Mind if we sit here?"

"Sure Luffy. Go ahead." You grin at the male and nod to the green haired companion of his. "(Name), this is my roommate Zoro. Zoro, (Name)." He grins at you both. Zoro was very well-built and serious looking. You gulped. "H-Hi..." You look down at your food.

"Zorooo! Don't scare (Name)!" Luffy whines.

"W-Wha—I didn't even do anything!" Zoro retorts with a scowl. "Fine. Whatever. I'm sorry."

Koala looks to you then to Zoro then back to you. "Hi, I'm Koala." She smiles at Zoro. Luffy suddenly stood up and waved to two others from across the cafeteria. "HEY! ACE! SABO! OVER HERE!"

You look back up to see the blonde and the freckled teen walking over to your table. "Hey little brother! Hey (Name)!" Ace waves with one hand while the other set down the tray of food beside Luffy.

Sabo set his tray down across from Ace and sat next to you. "Evening (Name)!" He smiles. "H-Hey Sabo." You pick up a fork and skewer your meat before popping it in your mouth.

"Ace, Sabo! This is my roommate Zoro. That's Koala." He points to the green haired male, who nods, then at Koala, who waves at them. "Hey." They greet in unison.

"So what were you guys talking about?" Luffy asks after a few minutes of shoving food in his mouth and chewing it.

"I was just telling (Name) about my Fishman Karate." Koala chimes in.

"Fish? Did you say fish?" Luffy leans in uncomfortably close to Koala who then karate chops his head. "OWWww!"

A laugh escapes your lips at the scene. "So, (Name), what about your ability?" Zoro asks after finishing his meal swiftly and setting down his sake. Wait...sake??

"(Name) says she doesn't know what her power is." Koala pouts at you.

"I-I really don't! Honest!" You hold up your arms as if to surrender and cross your heart. Koala giggles. "You're so cute (Name)~"

You blush at this and cover your face in embarrassment. "What about you Luffy? Zoro?" You ask, trying to turn the attention away from you.

"Luffy is made of rubber." Ace informs.

"And I'm skilled with a sword. Three to be exact." Zoro says.

"How does someone use three swords?" Sabo questions, popping an orange slice in his mouth before offering one to you.

"I place one in my mouth. It's a bit hard to talk though." The green haired male laughs.

This place has some weird students..
