Chapter Two

Arabella pov

"How about we start by introducing ourselves? I think it'd be good to start somewhere with that. I'll start," He winks, "Portgas D. Ace at your service."

Next to me, Itami giggles into her hand, "Once again, charmed."

'Don't mess him up, Itami. We all know what happened last time.'

"Itami, call me Itami." She replies with her 100 Billion beri smile.

"I'm Itami's cousin, Kira." Kira introduces, her eyes occasionally darting to the taller blonde male.

"Marco's the name, yoi. Don't get it confused with Narcos, yoi."

"I would you druggie." Ace sniggered, which resulted in a retort with Marco punching his shoulder.

The interesting blonde one chuckles slightly at their antics, "Goodness you two." He clears his throat, "Anyway, I'm Sabo. Ace and I are brothers...adopted brothers but hey it's still the same thing." He turns his ocean eyes towards me, "I think it's your turn."

I nod slightly, "And I am Arabella. Unfortunately I'm related to none of you."

Sabo chuckled silently, "Unfortunate. Anyway, now that we all know each other, how about we start the guide of our school. I think I'm with you, Arabella."

Everyone paired up, and we all started going our own way to be lead around. A small part of me felt relieved that I was with Sabo. Not that I have anything against the other two, they seem nice enough. But he seems a bit...too playful for my tastes. Whereas Marco feels too flirty. Too flirty for me means they're gonna push my buttons. Then again, those two seem to have their eyes fixated on Itami and Kira. Sabo, on the other hand, seems like someone I can be good friends with.

"So what's our history teacher like?" I asked to fill the silence as we begin our stroll.

"Ah! We have Ms Nico. You know...Nico Olvia. Her daughter, Nico Robin is in our year group." Sabo says.

'The Nico Olvia? I've always wanted to talk to her and ask her questions and poneglyphs. She'll know so much.'

"That's..." I retain my excitement to not seem crazy, "the class must be learning a lot if it's with someone like Ms Nico."

Sabo nods with a smile, "She's great. A lot of the stuff we're learning from her is illegal. But it's stuff we'll need to take down our enemies."

'He is right. The more knowledge we have, the more we learn to not repeat certain things from the past.'

"So...what's your speciality?" Sabo asks.

"Speciality?"

"Yeah like...do you have a devil fruit power, or are you good at weapons or haki?" He clarified.

"Oh! Right. Well...when I was given the Glass Glass fruit. It means that I can manipulate and produce glass to my own liking. I get underestimated a lot cause of glass being fragile...but," I look at Sabo, "those people usually end up apologising to me for their mistake."

"Oh, well I don't think I would be underestimating you any time soon then!" He laughs, earning a chuckle from me.
