Chapter 1:New friends

Victoria pov

"Ruby I hope I see you,"
"I've waited all this week."
"For you to walk my way,"
"Your soul will capture me."
"Your momma painted your room a shade of pink, she said."
"But with your great arrival,"
"That shade has turned to red."

When I looked up from my phone, I saw that people were coming into the classroom that I've been sitting in. I checked the time, and saw that the first bell has rang for students to get to their first class. Sighing mentally, I paused my music, and rummaged through my bag to grab out my old French text book, note book, pencil case & ruler.

Around me, I could hear people talking about me. Things like: "Who is she?" "Is she new?" "A new face...." "I'm surprised she wasn't lost on her first day." "Goody good, she came here early."

I rolled my eyes at the last comment. Looking around, I tried to find who this 'Luffy' person was. Apparently he's supposed to be Ace's little brother.

'Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ace in a while...wonder if he's doing okay.'

Finally, the teacher walked in. He had slicked back black hair, and a huge scar across his face. He smelt heavily of cigars & sand. He had a scowl on his face, and a intimidating gaze. Once his eyes cane across mine, he gave me a once over.

"Oh yeah, you must be that new girl...I'm Sir Crocodile."
I nod. "I'm Victoria, Chevallier Victoria."
He hummed lowly. "Are you of French descent?"
"Yeah...though I dunno what side of the family since I'm..." I shook my head subconsciously. "Never mind."
"Heh..okay. Well, seems you've already got your books ready, good job."

Then he left me alone, and went to his desk. I sweatdropped.

'Well that conversation was awkward..'

And so, Sir Crocodile went through attendance. He grumbled, saying something like "Straw Hat is late again."

'Straw hat?? Well, I highly doubt a walking Straw hat is a student, unless I'm going crazy.'

Sir Crocodile started up our lesson, and we started to go through with what we were learning-which was how to say colours, and to describe things. As soon as we were assigned text book work, the door flung open.

A boy my age stood at the door, huffing & puffing. He had big eyes, and a ridiculous look on his face. He had messy black hair, and a Straw hat on his head. He wore blue shorts, a black shirt with sun flowers on it & a pair of sandals.

'He must be that Straw hat person that Sir Croc was talking about.'

Sir Crocodile growled. "You're late again, Straw hat."
He was silent for a moment, before he puffed out his cheeks. "I made it!"
Sir Crocodile clicked his tongue. "Just hurry up & take a seat next to Miss Chevallier, Monkey D Luffy."

'OOOOOOH So Luffy is the Straw hat guy!'

He looked around, before spotting the seat that was next to me. He walked over to me, then sat down.

'What do I do now?'

He turned to me. "Yo! I'm Luffy!"
"Victoria, Chevallier Victoria." I greeted.
He tilted his head at me. "Are you new?"
I nod. "Yeah. I moved here with my brother, Marco."
"Marco....HEY I KNOW THAT NAME! My brother Ace said something about Marco having a sister...and thats you?!"
"Uh huh."
He did a big grin. "Well then! We're friends!"

I sweat drop.

'He's easy to please....'

*timeskip after class*

"Soooo you're not related to Marco?" Luffy asked the 5th time.
"No, but yes. He adopted me when I was little." I explained again.
"Oooooh okay! Now I get it!"

"Luffy!"

We traced the voice, and found a group of seniors walking up towards us. Two guys, and two girls. Luffy grinned upon seeing them.

"We texted you! Where were you this morning?!" The girl with the orange haired asked.
"Oh yeah. My phone was dead."
She whacked him. "Baka! Your phone is always dead!"
"I don't need no phone woman!" Luffy hissed.
The other girl with black hair looked at me. "Luffy? Did you make a new friend?"

"Oh yeah! This is Victoria Shovel!"
I sweat drop. "Chevallier, not shovel." I smiled at them politely. "Are you all Luffy's friends?"
"Yeah, I'm Nami!" Orange haired girl said.
"Nico Robin."
"Roronoa Zoro."
"And I'm Ussop!"

I grin. "Cool. As you know, I'm Victoria. I'm new."
"Hey, how about you sit with us!" Ussop offered.
"Really?"
"Shishishi! Of course! You're a friend now! Right Zoro?" Luffy asked.
I looked at Zoro, who had green hair & three piercings. "Yeah."
"Coool! Then you can meet Sanji!"
"Sanji? Who's Sanji?" I asked.
"Ooooh he's a perverted love cook." Zoro said with a scowl.
Nami rolled her eyes. "A friend of ours. Though, you may wanna be careful around him. He loves girls too much."

'Oh god, this guy sounds like a player.'

"Well then, what do you have now, Victoria?" Ussop asked.
I looked at my timetable. "Apparently I have..." I scowled. "Science with.." I squinted. "Mr Haredas."
Nami linked arms with me. "You're with me then! Come on! Lets go!"

She dragged me away to our next class.
