Sunday 11:42 am in the morning—--------------------------------------------------
I woke up to a crisp morning with a fulfilling yawn and stretch. Holy fuck was my phone blowing up. I wasnt THATT used to everything yet and everything was just so refreshingly fast. I check up on the group chat to an unexpected meetup after last night at a cafe called "zeffys"
(holy yap groupchat) at 11:08 am—-------------------------------------------------------------------
Orangecat002: morning guys lets go get brekky at zeffys!!!
Mummychoro1: im so over you guys, u woke me up.
Suppeer17: me and robin have work to do so we'll show up and get stuff done.
San_.ji: Im already here.. Zeff is making me work early 💔💔
Luffylavameat: you can introduce [y/n] to your best breakfast dishes!
[y/n]: you work there sanji??
San_.ji: yup. For a while now actually.
[y/n]: thats exciting!! Ill be there!
Orangecat002: thats my girl!
I got up from my bed and got ready for my day. Good thing Rayleigh and Shakky sleep in on their Sundays. They didn't have to make breakfast!! I ran downstairs and saw Shakky coming up. I bumped into her and almost fell down the stairs.
"Oh shit darling, be careful!!! I was just going up to wake you up." She looked at me all dressed up wondering if i'm getting ready to do something. "Where are you going?? Eat breakfast first!" I heard Rayleigh stomping over to the stairs where me and Shakky stood. " Are you going out again??? These kids are stealing my little girl away from me!!" Rayleigh pouted into Shakky's arms. "Oh let her be darling, you might chase her away"
"I'm sorry guys, Nami let me know on short notice. I guess this is how they roll." I giggled, eyeing Shakky's adoration of my expression. "We don't need to question anything about our flower. Do whatever you want to in this world. As long as it keeps our precious pearl happy." I smiled and gave the two a huge hug with a gaping smile. "I owe you guys a weekend of just me. I haven't annoyed you guys enough yet!".
I got ready in the car as Rayleigh drove me over. i went for a cozy outfit but still appropriate for outdoors.

Laws pov
I was now 20 minutes late into my schedule and had to take my cat Bepo to his vet appointment later in the day. I would be lying insanely if I said I wasn't mad. I got out of my car, locking it as I walked towards Zeffys for coffee. Usually the city was pretty walkable so I tried to avoid using my car. You usually always see people out in the morning walking to their destinations.
Anyways as I walked towards the glass door I heard a recognizable obnoxious laugh. There's no way it was luffy and his friend group. "No way in hell am I getting into that mess" I sighed to myself as I backed away from the door sneakily.
"GUYS LOOK ITS LAWW!!" I heard Luffy shout and point at me. "Fuck."
Look to make it clear I definitely don't hate Luffy and his friends. They always make a good time out of every situation. But in this case I have a packed schedule to fulfill so it's best to stay away.
But clearly today wasn't going to go my way.
The crew dragged me in to sit with them. They always have their obnoxious group in this coffee shop or at Marcos antique store in the mall. One or the other. I watched as [y/n] sat there right in front of me. She was talking to Usopp about which dishes were the best, and for some reason I felt so much discomfort from making eye contact with her. It makes my stomach feel uneasy.
She walked towards the table where I stood near and gave me a warm smile. it was so out of the blue. I wasn't quick enough to react to it though . That just made me look like a rude asshole. I didn't mean to do that, I got up away from that table and ordered my coffee to go so I could go.
[y/n] P.O.V
He definitely hated me. His face seems so recognizable like I've known him for ages, but it all feels so distant. I didn't let his expression bother me for the remaining day. I felt uneasy as everyone talked about school. The principal Sengoku and the vice principal, staff , and possible teachers. Everything was so new and scary.
"Don't worry [y/n] we will help you throughout everything." Luffy smiled at me reassuringly until Usopp broke the silence with old rumors that surfaced around drama in high school.
" You know there was a crazy big rumor about Zoro being for the streets. He was apparently clutching women like zombies." Usopp snorted at how badly the rumor was attempted. "I would be in shock if he even left the house let alone bag a chick." Nami said as she bullied Zoro back and forth making Sanji and Luffy laugh crazily.
" Oh and rumors said Kidd had an evil sugar mama during senior year" Luffy said grinning. "He's so lucky for that, having a baddie 24/7 and getting paid? wow. "Sanji stammered upsettingly. I could tell he was pissed at the fact it could've been him instead of Kidd. "You know I found out his sugar mama was Charlotte Lin Lin. " Nami smirked at Sanji..."if you want I can ask kidd to put you on Sanji." Zoro butted in bothering the blonde. Sanji sat up straight in his chair and nearly choked at the foolish statement breaking the two into a heated quarrel back and forth.
" Remember the Law situation Nami" Usopp questioned. making the groups ears perk up at Laws name. All of a sudden I felt my heart in my throat at the mention of his name. "I know that Law was emotionally unavailable because of a deep-seated fear of getting hurt. People were saying that he's been in love before but walked away when things started to get serious between him and the girl, convincing him that he's not capable of loving anyone fully. Whenever he's around, you can feel the walls he's built thats why we try our best to love him unconditionally, and it's painful to see him push away anyone who tries to get close. You haven't caught glimpses of his vulnerability beneath his tough exterior, and it breaks my heart knowing he's keeping everyone at arm's length." Nami speeches. With every word Nami spoke about him I felt the bigger need to break down his barriers, but I fear he'll never let anyone in, including me.
