Chapter 26:Suspension

Victoria pov
When we got home, Marco finally did a more parental action, and took my phone off me until my suspension was lifted. At first I was annoyed about it, but after a while, I didn't feel too bothered about it. Really most of the time, I was either playing the violin, helping Marco around the house, catching up on very important sleep, or doing starting/finishing assignments that are due in next week.

"Okay...so.." I sighed. "ACE?! HOW DO YOU SPELL CARICATURE?!"
"C-A-R-I-C-A-T-U-R-E!""
"THANKS!" I yell.

I quickly wrote down the rest of my essay for English, then went downstairs so that Ace could proof read it. I would get Marco to proof read it, but he kept on claiming that it was fine as it was, when really if I had edited my work, then I would've gotten a perfect score. So, since Ace is (apparently) really punctual, and has a way with words in English, I email it to him, or if he's over, I hand it to him.

"Oh whats this essay about, yoi?" Marco asked from the kitchen.
"Film essay." I answered.
"What film, yoi?"
I grin. "Heathers."
"Well what do you know, your favorite movie!" Thatch said with a grin.
"Really, I'm the only one thats closely watching the movie...since I've seen it so many times."

Ace nods. "Well, when does this have to be handed in by?"
"Next week, but I like having a head start on everyone." I said.
Ace chuckled. "Sounds something you'd say. Alright, I'll get it back to you ASAP, Vixen."
"Thanks Ace! What do you want on exchange?" I asked.
"Hmmm....play me a song from that violin of yours."
I nod. "M'kay. Hold on, I'll just go get my violin."

I ran upstairs, and grabbed my violin out of its case. I raced back downstairs, and stood in front of my small crowd. Marco had just sat down.

"So, any requests?" I asked.
"Hmmm..." Ace pouted. "Surprise me."
I grin. "Okay."

I didn't realize that my eyes were closed, because when I opened them, all three men were grinning at me. I looked at all three of them, a blush growing on my cheeks.

"So? How was it?" I asked.
Ace was grinning. "Beautiful! Thats how it was."
"You should play in a opera." Thatch comments.
Marco grinned. "Victoria you're so good, yoi."

"All three of you are too nice to me." I said with a pout.
"Need to be, yoi." Marco states. "If I don't give kindness, I won't get any back, yoi."
I giggled. "You're not wrong there. But..in all honesty you guys, all three of you are too nice to me. I sometimes feel like I'm spoiled."

Then, I heard my phone buzz. I looked over to Marco, who sighed & flicked his wrist. I grin, and run over to my phone thats charging in the kitchen. I opened my phone, and found that I got a text from Sanji.

Me:Hang on, I'll call you.

I pressed the call button, and immediately heard Sanji pick up.

"Hello, Mr Prince." I greeted happily.
"I miss you, Victoria. How are you holding up?"
"Alright, I've finished a whole lot of homework. Marco has taken my phone off me till my suspension is over though, but thats okay."
"Victoria...I was so worried about you." Sanji said
"Sanji, I'm fine. Kira has already given me a lecture about my health & safety, but I'm fine!"

"Victoria...I was worried that you'd hurt yourself. People were telling me that that Carmin girl was punching you harshly."
I rolled my eyes. "Sanji, it only hurt a little bit. I've been in fights before, so its okay! I'm used to it! Sure she has a strong punch, but she's not as strong as I am."
"Still...Victoria, you could seriously hurt yourself."
I sighed. "I'm fine, in all seriousness. And plus, by the time I get back, my wrist should be all fine!"

"Good. This is probably a stupid question, but are you free on Friday?" He asked
"Its not a stupid question, and yes..I'm free."
"D-do you wanna go out on a date?"
I smile. "That sounds lovely. Of course, where are you thinking where we should go?"
"Well, seeing as I work there, we could go to the Baratie. We could get a discount."
"Definitely...I'll see you then."
"I love you, Victoria."
"I love you too, Sanji."

We hung up, and immediately Ace & Thatch were nudging me.

"Ooooooh! Someone has a date!" Ace cooed.
"I love you Sanji! Forever & ever & ever! Kiss me! Kiss me again!" Thatch mocked, imitating my voice (poorly)

I punch them both. "Shut up! And you can't talk, Ace! You've damaged Luffy's mind because of the noises you & Itami make once a month!"
Ace pointed his finger at me. "What we have, is true love thank you very much. Something that a kiddie like you won't understand."
Thatch whacked his shoulder. "Oh shut up Mister 'Maturity'! You still buy Spiderman toothbrushes & bandaids!"
"Hey! Spiderman is a cool! You can't judge me, bitches!"

"Alright, alright, yoi." Marco rolled his eyes. "I'm really starting to question if you're really just a eight year old in a trench coat, yoi." Marco turned his attention to me. "So? What did Sanji want, yoi?"
"He's taking me out on a date this friday."
He nods slowly. "Okay...well, I'll drop you off at his, yoi."

"Oh cool, thanks."
