AN: Ok, my apologies for taking my time with this latest chapter! I've been really busy due to college and although I had this sitting in my files for ages, I just needed someone to beta read it for me!

Summary from last chapter: Nami discovered she had a new home room teacher, by the name of Trafalgar Law. Finding him attractive, she sent a note to Ace (who had hoped the new teacher was a hot woman) that said "Hehe! New teacher's a hot guy, lucky me!~ Think I have a chance? LOL ;)". Unfortunately for her, Law happened to spot her passing notes, and got herself and Ace into a detention. Law currently has possession of the note, and Nami has gone to gym class with Vivi, whereas Ace has thought of a plan to help his best friend out.

"Nami that's awful!"

"I know."

"What are you going to do?!" Vivi was fairly worried at this point.

Nami shrugged, honestly not knowing what exactly she could do. Unless she could rewind time to the moment she began writing that damn note, there were no ideas appearing in her mind.

"I'll probably just have to go to gym and deal with it." She sighed, walking alongside Vivi. A few seconds later, two more of their classmates, Kaya and Camie, were calling to them on the track.

"Vivi, don't talk about this note thing to anyone ok?" Nami quickly elbowed Vivi lightly, before the other two girls caught up.

"Where's Smoker? Is he here yet?" Kaya asked, curious as to where their teacher was.

"I don't know... But I hope he doesn't tell us off for not starting to run when he shows up!" Vivi giggled lightly, which made Camie's jaw drop.

"I DON'T WANT TO GET IN TROUBLE! SMOKERS SCARY!"

Nodding in agreement, Vivi suggested they start running right now, which Camie naturally agreed to.

Nami on the other hand, would much rather not do the lesson.

"You're running today Kaya?"

"Well, I'm going to try and do more gym lessons now that I'm a bit better."

"But your illness-"

Waving her hand about, Kaya shushed Nami and smiled.

"Don't worry, the doctor told me it would be beneficial for me to try more exercising!"

Nami grinned. "Alright then. I'll run with you,"

The pair hasn't been running long before Kaya had lost her breath and needed to stop for a quick rest. Of course, Nami stopped running too, only to be suddenly reminded if who's lesson she was in right now.

"Nami! Quit slacking and keep running!"

Ah gym class. Taught by both Garp and Smoker. Garp taught the boys, whilst Smoker was responsible for the girls lessons. Today was no different for Nami, as she huffed on the track.

"But Kaya ran out of breath!"

"Well you're still capable of running! Put some back into it!"

Nami huffed. Obviously it wasn't good that Kaya was ill, but the way Nami saw it, she thought it would be lucky to be able to not do much in her gym lessons. Plus Smoker didn't nag Kaya to keep running.

Kaya hunched over catching her breath.

"It's fine Nami, I'll catch up later!"

It was endearing to see Kaya want to try so hard. Nami nodded and began a light jog on the track. She could see Vivi and Camie way ahead of her, and decided that there was no way she would be able to catch up with them now. Looks like she was running alone!

The boys were being taught on the field, soccer by the looks of it. Nami scanned the group of boys huddled around Garp, hoping to see Any of her friends. Quickly spotting the familiar blur of green hair, she grinned as she watched Zoro run over to one of the benches near her, to take a quick sip of water. Deciding to make a small detour in her running route, Nami ran over to him and sat down besides him.

"Taking a rest?"

"No, I just wanted some water."

Trust Zoro to not want to rest during practise. Any other lesson he'd find any excuse to fall asleep! Gym was his favourite subject, and he was one of the most talented in his class. His determination and skills in sports had gained him a scholarship at the school and earned him a spot on the school soccer and football teams.

"Ah... Ne, Zoro, where's Ace and Luffy?" She peered at the group by Garp. "I see Usopp, Sanji, Sabo, but not those two!"

Zoro peeked at Nami with his one eye.

"They didn't tell you?"

"Eh!? No! What are they doing!?"

"Well..."

"Ace~? what are we doing again?"

Luffy stood next to his brother, who was busy rummaging through Trafalgar Law's drawers. He stuck his pinky up his nose, awaiting Ace's reply.

"Baka, I told you twice! I'm looking for a note that Nami wrote."

"But why?"

"Because she doesn't want anyone reading it, and our teacher might just read it!"

"OOOOOOH! I see! So what's a lookout?"

"It's someone who keeps a watch out for whoever we are avoiding."

Ace looked to see luffy blankly staring at him.

"Luffy, that's you! You're supposed to be by the door keeping a lookout!"

"Oh! Ok! Shishishi!"

Ace grinned and shook his head, as he opened another draw. There were only two things in the drawer, Nami's note, and a... Polar bear plushie?

Not even realising Luffy hadn't moved from Ace's side, Luffy crept his hand into the drawer and pulled the plushies leg, taking it out. Still keeping his pinky in his nose, he held the bear up by its foot, curiously peering at it.

Ace simply picked up the note and smirked triumphantly.

"Luffy, you make an AWFUL lookout! HEY PUT THAT BACK!"

Just at that moment, the door swung open and slow footsteps echoed throughout the room as Law walked into the classroom.

"... Ace, you know your detention isn't till-"

"Oi, what's this?"

Ace froze, and slowly turned to his brother, who STILL had that damn polar bear in his hands. His jaw dropped as he glared at Luffy, and then turned his stare back at his teacher, who's facial expression was almost identical to Ace's.

"That is none of your concern! Who are you anyway?" Law demanded, walking towards the two boys and snatching both the bear AND Nami's note from them.

Darn, so close. Ace thought, and he face palmed himself.

"You should be in Garps lesson right now. Come with me."

Law made his way between them and shoved the bear and note back into the drawer, opening another one and grabbing his keys, ready to lock the door behind him.

"No! Not Gramps!" Luffy whined as he sulked behind Ace.

"Oh? Garps your Grandpa? Then I'll take you there myself and let him know exactly what you've been doing here." A devilish grin formed on Laws face as he grabbed both boys shoulders.

"Shall we? We wouldn't want Garp to be waiting, would we."

The two brothers simply looked at each other, slightly worried. Knowing Garp, they'd get the worst telling off ever.

As usual.

After discussing with Zoro about what Ace and Luffy were up to, both their teachers had yelled at them to carry on with their lessons, so the pair had departed from the bench and went back to their respected lessons.

"Idiots... They better not get caught!"

She ran on the bend of the track, and noticed Luffy run from around the corner of the benches, who had in turn just noticed her.

"OI NAMI!" He grinned, waving at her.

Nami slowed herself down to a halt and leant over, holding onto her knees to catch her breath.

"LUFFY STOP DISTRACTING ME!"

He ignored her and carried on waving, and Nami found herself smiling. That was, until she then noticed an unhappy looking Ace, and a pissed looking Law come from the corner that Luffy had run from.

"Luffy, what exactly will running from me do?"

Uh oh. Nami drew the obvious conclusion that the two had failed the simple mission they had assigned themselves.

Law's stare drifted from Luffy to Nami, as he realised that Luffy was waving at her. A grin formed on his face as he walked towards her, Ace hovering behind him.

"Ah, Miss Nami. I see you're working very hard in your gym class."

He was mocking her, and Nami didn't like it.

"I was just taking a break, runnings tough work you know."

"I see. Where can I find Garp?" He responded in a blunt tone, completely ignoring that she wasn't exactly participating in her lesson. Nami huffed and extended her finger in Ace and Luffy's grandfathers direction. "There."

He gave her a quick nod and beckoned Luffy back over to him, grabbing the two brothers shoulders. He began walking towards Garp, Ace and Luffy exchanging worried glances.

Nami watched, and a mischievous smile emerged on her face. If there was one thing she found hilarious, it was when Luffy and Ace got in trouble with their grandpa. It wasn't out of spite or anything like that, it was just funny to watch Garp get mad and hear the two brothers whine and retaliate back at him. Surely Smoker wouldn't notice her take a break as she witnessed the telling off the pair would get.

She couldn't hear much from where she was. Law spoke with such a calm voice that it was virtually impossible to hear a thing, that is until Garp yelled something at the two boys and lightly punched them on the arms. If they weren't in a school setting, he would of most likely punched them a lot harder. He was still yelling and Ace and Luffy were yelling back in retaliation, which just made Nami laugh at them.

Upon hearing the young red heads giggling, Law turned around and glared at Nami. He opened his mouth, ready to shout something at her, but it appeard someone had beat him to it.

"Nami! I said keep running! No breaks until the lessons over!"

Smoker was marching around the track towards her, which caused her to let out a dissatisfied moan. Law smirked as she reluctantly began running again.

She's a troublesome one.

Walking onto the track, Law paused when he was directly in front of where Nami would be. From a distance he could see her running around the track towards him, whilst shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Nami. A minute please." He asked the moment she was in hearing distance. Confused, Nami slowed herself down until she was at a halt beside him. Leaning over slightly with her hands on her knees, she began catching her breath.

"What?"

Law examined her quickly, taking note of how exhausted she was and how red her face was from running. He was just going to tell her to make sure she didn't forget the detention she had, but clearly Nami was in need of some professional advice right now.

"Slow down your breathing for a moment."

Nami paused. "I can't I've just been running!"

"Exactly. It will help you catch your breath back. The slower you breathe, the more oxygen will enter your lungs and bloodstream."

She raised her eyebrow at him before staring at the ground and gradually began slowing her breathing down.

"You should stand up straight too," He began, giving her a light tap between her shoulder blades. Reluctantly Nami stood up and stared at him, still trying to catch her breath.

"Put your hands on your hips. It will cause your lungs to open up and allow more oxygen to pass." He told her bluntly, grabbing her hands and placing them onto her hips.

If this was supposed to help her slow her breathing down, well, Nami couldn't help blushing at the sudden physical contact he gave her. She could almost feel her heart beating faster than before.

He stood backwards and shoved his hands into his pockets, watching her with a deadpan expression as she momentarily regained her breath. He smirked victoriously, and walked past her.

"Do remember those steps for the next time you run, Miss Nami. I have a feeling you will be needing to use them again."

Nami narrowed her eyes at him as he walked away, sticking her tongue out at the back of his head.

Rude bastard! Implying I'm bad at track running!

Law turned around, catching a quick glimpse of her tongue hanging out of her lips, before Nami quickly retracted it, turning her head and running off again in hopes that he didn't see.

Law chuckled quietly and continued walking.

"Oh, Miss Nami. Don't forget you have a detention later."

Nami ignored him and kept on running - mentally insulting him in many different ways. Now she wanted to actually work hard at this running just to prove to Law that she could do it.

"Finally Nami. You're doing some damn work." Smoker muttered, glancing at the redhead who was finally taking part in her lesson fully. What a shame she only started working hard at the end of the lesson.

"Lessons over, girls. Go change." He yelled, wanting the class to hear him wherever they were on the track. Nami brought herself to a standstill, once more caught out of breath. "Damn.. what did Trafalgar say again.."

"Slow down your breathing for a moment."

"You should stand up straight too,"

"Put your hands on your hips. It will cause your lungs to open up and allow more oxygen to pass."

That was it. Nami followed the instructions he had previously given her, and quickly managed to get her breathing speed back down to a regular pace.

"Heh. Really does work!" She grinned, before walking over to the changing rooms, managing to catch up with Vivi and the others. It was strange really. Why did Trafalgar even care? Sure he was a teacher, but it was.. strange really. It was like he was trying to be helpful in a way that made him feel like the had just gained an achievement. Nami didn't dwell on it any longer, as she found she had to hurry and get ready for her next class - which was geography. Her favourite lesson, which just happened to be taught by the worlds biggest annoyance... Arlong.
