2 - Stained Green

Entering your freshman year, you’d start with a fresh slate. You and Law had gone to a new, and bigger school which was not so far from your neighborhood. Lammy however, had decided to go to another school which she was dreaming of for quite a while, leaving you alone with Law.

He intimidated you, and your feelings intimidated yourself as well. Enough was enough, you thought. So you stopped trying to act on your feelings for Law, in the hopes that they’d fade away soon.

The daily walks to school mostly just involved your schedules so he knew where to find you before your walk home. Back when Lammy was here, you constantly rambled your mouth off, together with her inputs, whilst Law listened. Now, you didn’t know what to say with Law being the only one here.

On your first day, Law had made sure you knew the name of the room you were supposed to be in, then left to head to his own classroom. The halls were vast, and looked more polished than the ones at your former school.

It was quite early still, so not many students had arrived. You decided that it would be best to ask someone where your classroom is instead of looking like a lost idiot incapable of finding her way. The first person you spotted was someone with moss looking hair, and a frown on his face. Not the typical person you’d ask, but there weren’t many options for you right now, so you couldn’t afford to be picky.

The guy had introduced himself as Zoro, as you said your name while asking for the directions for Room B-1. He told you to follow him— a decision you regretted later on.

For 30 minutes, you walked with him through the endless halls, as the school started getting noisier with more students coming in. He greeted a few as you both walked— a guy with a straw hat, who was getting pulled by a ginger haired girl to another classroom. He yelled something about talking to you later at lunch.

Instead of getting to the room, you ended up getting an accidental full tour of the school.

You ended up at the gym.

The library.

The third floor.

The courtyard.

And lost track of time as you realized that it had been 5 minutes over the time classes were supposed to start. After a light argument between you, and the mosshead, who claimed he had no directional problems, you just decided to retrace your steps to find where the freshman classrooms are. You ran as quickly as possible, and entered the room as composed as you could be, then took your seat. Zoro came in 5 minutes later. After the teacher announced that attendance was complete, she called out to you and Zoro, asking for the both of you to see her later.

Your followers would be hearing about this.

“Dear Lost Idiot, At my former school, I only stuck close to my best friend. I wanted to put my past behind me, and force myself into the light in my new school. When I spotted your green hair in the hall, I thought it would’ve been a good opportunity to push myself forward— to find comfort in the discomfort of embracing the things I considered eccentric— in this instance, talking to you, with your bright green hair. Yet not only has my decision brought me to dismay, it might as well ruin everything I wanted to build up for myself! My former school consisted of few people— I am not used to judging eyes. Walking into that classroom, face flush with embarrassment and guilt, as everyone looked at me with thoughts I couldn’t decipher, I almost decided that I’d give up on becoming a friend to all. Yet, the thought of ruining my golden years because of your stain of green rots my pride. I thought of wishing for you to get lost on the way home, but then I realized… I don’t need to wish for that to happen.”

Putting all that just happened behind, you spent your first day getting to know more people in the school— you were awkward, you thought. However, you were trying. Soon enough, you’d become the person everyone sought out for life advice. Thank you, Lammy, you think.

One thing led to another, and you ended up seeing Zoro at school more often. You were seated beside him, paired with him for a project, and Luffy had quickly become your friend. Inevitably, his presence always found you. At first, you hated him for what happened on the first day, but learnt that he wasn’t all too bad. With your light personality, and his stubborn one, teachers often paired you both for projects.

Which meant that you were bound to meet his sister, Perona, who’d become a close friend of yours. She could never fill the silence of the house beside you as Lammy did, but Perona became the person you looked for in every hall. After becoming friends with both the siblings, there were many instances in a week that you’d go to their house after school to study or do homework.

And from every little moment between Zoro teaching you how to fight... Helping you with math which he was surprisingly good at... And your frequent naps with each other on the couch after tiring days at school... You may have developed even the tiniest crush on Zoro.

You still cared about Law, that’ll always be a constant. Yet, you’d only walk home with him once or twice a week, and no longer spent weekends at his house. Though, he once asked about your new friends, and you could’ve sworn you sensed a bit of disappointment in his voice when you talked about how much you enjoyed their presence. You hadn’t realized that walks home with Law had turned into him listening to you talk about the new friends you got, or the funny things Luffy did. Words no longer melted like wax— the heat of his light had long disappeared, and had turned into warmth.

Freshman year passed by smoothly. Your blossoming feelings for Zoro had almost made you forget about all the distress Law caused for you, though you did bring it about yourself.

But in between final exams,

Study sessions with Perona and Zoro,

New friends,

Walks home with Law,

And Summer break,

You started Sophomore year wishing it’d end already.

A day before Sophomore year started, you headed over to Zoro’s house, and found out that he had started dating Tashigi. He talked about her a couple times, about her being someone he met at their club… Something about swords.

Tashigi was someone you knew— a friend, but not as close as Perona. Biting back your feelings, you were happy that the stubborn Zoro had finally fallen for someone, and that your friend had found love.

When you came home, you didn’t walk through your doors. You walked into the house beside you, straight upstairs to Lammy’s bedroom. She wasn’t here— her new school was a bit far, and she only visits on weekends. You laid on her bed, wondering if anything was ever worth it.

The door creaked open ever so slightly, and you felt so weighted, that you didn’t dare look up to see who it was. Law came in, and handed you something— ice cream on a cone. You sat up against the headboard of the bed quickly, and accepted the ice cream. He didn’t say much, just something around the lines of “He’s an idiot. Don’t cry. Make sure to finish your homework.” Then, he walked out. Wait, how did he know…?

You didn’t have the energy to ponder it. Walking downstairs with your ice cream in hand, you headed back to your house and walked up to go to your room, movements sluggish while tears threatened to pour down. You finished your ice cream, sat on your bed, and grabbed your laptop.

“Dear Lost Idiot, I heard from a great to-be med student one time, that even the best medicines have side effects. Unfortunately for me, you seemed to have been the best medication— the closest thing to a cure, and now I’ll have to deal with the effect of using it. My words are made of wax, serving as my wings— Icarus longed for the sun, so did I. Unlike him, I knew that I’d end up failing before I ever had a chance, but even so, it was difficult to let go of the feeling of wanting it, because he was the only person in my sights for the longest time. Then, you came into view. The first time I saw you, your back was turned against the window, blocking the rays of sun from lighting the hallway. My words never melted against my tongue when talking with you. Feelings swirled into the thing I thought I'd been looking for— something in reach, something I don’t feel terrible about caring for. You made me forget about the sun that ruined me casually. And I really did like you— beyond words. But if my feelings have grown this much, then good riddance, how about yours? She who shares the same interests as you— she who made you fall when you never have before. My gratitude for you is profound— beyond words, because if not for you, I never would’ve stopped staring at the sun… But while you are the savior of my feelings, the one you love was never meant to need saving just to love. And she is exactly that.”
