Why you? - Eustass Kid X Reader

Chapter 2

The next few classes were brutal. Professor Mihawk didn't gave any of you a break. He made you all read a book that had more than two hundred pages in just two school hours, which is ninety minutes. Without any breaks, literally, not even one for a bathroom. He also asked couple of questions while you were reading, about a page that not any of you were even close to. In the end he just gave up on you all and assigned that book and two more to read for homework. If someone doesn't know the answer on the question he asks the next time you have a class with him, he will fail them. His words.

Many people take literature classes lightly when they first apply for them. They all think that they will work on one book and analyze it for couple of weeks and then slightly go to another. Easy grade, right? Well not if you have Mihawk as your profesor. He believes that it's a waste of time to be stuck on one book and that it's better to read more books with similar content and then compare them. It's easier to explain a mistake or what kind of book it is if you have more examples. Also his words. You actually liked his teaching methods, even though it can be pain in the ass it's the best way you learn.

After all that, you wouldn't mind another smoke break, but you promised Nami to meet her and the crew for lunch. That's definitely better. You had three cigarettes today, which is already too much.

Bell rang and you made your way to the school yard. You sat down under the old cherry blossom tree where you usually had lunch with the crew. Luffy was the one who discovered this spot. He got hungry while waiting for others to finish their classes, so he decided to wander around. He spotted the cherries and decided to climb the tree. No one could find him the whole day. Just before the last class, Coby spotted him sleeping in the treetops, there was also no cherries left. He ate them all! From that day forward the crew just decided that it would be a meet-up spot for you all.

The memory brought a smile to your face. People always tell you that you are too stuck up on past. You can't deny it, you definitely were. It can be tiring, of course, but sometimes it's good to remember some memories. It's even better to make new ones.

You sit down under the tree, waiting for others to arrive. It was so peaceful. You enjoyed the small breeze that spread the smell of soon blooming cherries around the campus.

To your surprise, the first one to arrive was Zoro. Looking around, you spot an angry looking Perona, stomping away. She definitely dragged him here.

"How did you pissed off our sweet Perona this time?"

He took a seat beside you, having the exact same expression as his older sister.

"Sweet my ass. She dragged me here by my ear and provided to lecture me the entire way on how inrensponsible I was for 'getting lost all the time!' It's not my fault that the directions are so complicated!"

You accidentally laughed out loud. Poor Zoro. He was quite sensitive about his bad sense of directions. We should be thankful for Perona. She is one of few people beside the crew that looks out for Zoro. Well of course, because she was his sister, but still.

Perona was a third year student, and her major was fashion. You met her last year when you went to watch the presentations of the projects of second, and third year students. She was presenting some of her designs and the process of making them. Your major is art so it perked your interest because both majors required creativity. You two got along well that day and became good friends.

Soon enough, the rest of the crew arrived.

Robin and Franky are in their third year. Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and you are in their second year. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper are in their first year.

Robin was definitely a mom of the group. Her major is anthropology. She loves history and dark jokes. Usopp was traumatized by her jokes many times. Bless his poor heart.
