Robin stood nervously by her locker, clutching her books tightly in her arms. It was the first day of her senior year of high school and she couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety.

As she was about to turn the corner and head to her first class, a group of loud boys came racing down the hallway. She tried to move out of the way, but one of them accidentally bumped into her, causing her books to fly out of her hands and scatter all over the floor.

“Watch where you’re going, nerd,” one of the boys sneered, before running off with his friends, leaving Robin alone with her scattered belongings.

Sighing, she kneeled down to collect her books, feeling a pang of humiliation. As she picked up the last book, she noticed a pair of black boots standing next to her. Looking up, she saw a boy with wild green hair and an intriguing smirk on his face.

"Need some help?" he asked, his voice filled with amusement.

Robin blushed and nodded, grateful for the unexpected aid. She watched as the boy effortlessly gathered her books and handed them to her. "Thank you," she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.

He winked at her. "No problem, nerd," he said playfully. "I'm Zoro, by the way."

"Robin," she replied, a small smile forming on her lips.

From that moment, Robin and Zoro became an unexpected duo. They would often meet up by their lockers, sharing notes and passing the time before class. Robin quickly learned that Zoro was the school's resident bad boy, known for his rebellious attitude and devil-may-care personality. Despite his tough exterior, he had a kind heart and a mischievous sense of humor that Robin found endearing.

Over time, their friendship grew, and Robin found herself falling for Zoro. She was captivated by his determination, his unwavering loyalty to his friends, and his unwavering sense of justice. She loved how he could effortlessly switch from teasing her mercilessly to fiercely defending her against anyone who tried to mess with her.

One day, as they sat at their usual spot in the school courtyard, Robin looked at Zoro, her heart pounding in her chest. She took a deep breath, gathering her courage.

"Zoro, I have something to tell you," she said hesitantly.

He raised an eyebrow, genuinely curious. "What is it, Robin?"

She took a deep breath, her cheeks turning pink. "I like you, Zoro. I really like you."

For a moment, there was silence as Zoro processed her words. Then, a slow grin spread across his face, his eyes lighting up with a newfound excitement.

"Finally," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "I've been waiting for you to say that, Robin."

Before she could react, Zoro leaned in and kissed her gently, his lips soft against hers. It was a tender and sweet kiss, full of the unspoken promise of something more.

As they pulled away, Robin felt her heart soar. She couldn't believe that the boy she had admired from afar for so long was now her boyfriend. And as they held hands, laughing and talking, she couldn't help but feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

From that day forward, their love only grew stronger. They navigated the ups and downs of high school together, supporting each other through challenging exams, tough classes, and the pressures of college applications. They were each other's rock, their constant source of strength and comfort.

And as they stood together, hand in hand, at their high school graduation, Robin couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She looked at Zoro, her partner and best friend, and knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together.
