'Sabo's POV'

How did I lose Ace on my way to find him?! Do I really have no sense of direction?! I sighed and walked to the staircase as I sat on one of the steps. I still can't get those words that Ace said back at the infirmary, makes me feel like that I have heard it before. Then I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head, it was like a splitting headache inside my brain, the pain soon eased but it still had a bit in there. I massaged my forehead a little to ease the pain more, and it kinda work, I'll go to the pharmacy to grab an ibuprofen.

Then I heard footsteps coming down the steps, I turned around to see Sir Dragon, "ah Sabo, you're here...", he paused for a second, must've noticed my expression, "something going on with you, Sabo?".

"Yeah... I'm alright, just having a headache", I replied while I still massaged my forehead.

"Must've been from all those paperwork that you have to do...", he said as he looks over me, "... you're still a student, you shouldn't be carrying a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders... you should live your youth to the fullest, go and make more friends, discover new hobbies, and drink till your heart's content!".

I scoffed and leaned back, "wow Sir, you make 'getting wasted' sound so much better..." I said sarcastically, "... and besides, I don't 'drink till my heart's content', I'm still 20".

Sir Dragon slapped his forehead and sighed deeply, "Sabo, in your age, that's the legal age to already drink, and you still don't wanna?".

"Oh please, Luffy is 17, and you let him drink".

There was silence in the area for a solid minute, then he turned around and walked towards the wall, and did the most stupidest thing of all, slammed his head against the same wall. I just watched him do his own thing, and I still felt the sharp pain getting more and more unbearable, I might as well join Sir Dragon at that.

Then something bizarre happened, while the pain grew more and more painful, I got to see flashbacks about some time in the past that I don't recall at all. With the longer the pain would get, the more of these flashbacks become a bit vivid.

That's when the last period bell rang snapped me back to reality, I quickly got up from where I sat down and walked towards my classroom, but from my headache I kinda felt a bit dizzy and almost fell down. Lucky for me, Sir Dragon caught me and helped me out with my balance, "but in all due seriousness, you need to rest... you even look paler than before", he said with a hint of worry in his tone of voice.

And of course, I respond with, "... no need, I'll toughened it up... I swear", I then held unto the wall and walked towards my classroom with the pain still present.

=====

It has been two minutes in lecture, and THIS PAIN IS STILL HERE, slowly driving me insane. I can't even concentrate on class, heck, I can't even hear what Teacher Alvida was discussing earlier. The more minutes past, it felt like years for me with this pain in me, and it's too much for me.

"Sabo...", I hear a voice calling my name, I turned to see Teacher Alvida calling for me, "... are you alright? I've been calling you for the third time, Should I take you to the infirmary?".

"Oh, no need for that Teacher Alvida... I'm alright", I protest Teacher Alvida's offer since I'll take the pain for as long as needed.
