I guess it was like any typical day at Orange Star High. Students filed into the school in a steady stream towards lockers and waiting friends. Some of them, amazingly enough were actually awake. These were mostly the girls, who for reasons men just could not understand, got up hours ago to get ready.
Goku yawned loudly as he began to shuffle his tired body into the building. School just started way too early in his opinion. He was able to lug himself down the crowded hallway to where his friends were already waiting. As soon as he reached them, he threw his heavy arms around his girlfriend and placed his head on her shoulder as if too exhausted to hold himself up.
ChiChi smiled slightly down at Goku who had his eyes closed as he rested his head on her shoulder. This was typical Goku in the morning.
"Geez Goku, don't you ever get enough sleep?" Bulma said.
Goku's only reply was to lift one of his hands and flip her off.
"Humph." Bulma replied as she crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her head up and to the side.
"Calm down Bulma. You know he's like this every morning." Krillin said.
The first bell sounded, letting students know that they had five minutes remaining until they would be considered tardy to their homerooms.
"Uh oh. Looks like Vegeta's going to be late again." Krillin observed.
"Who cares? He's a jerk anyways." Bulma said.
"Come on guys, I don't want to be late." ChiChi said as she began to pry her boyfriend's body off of her own. Goku practically whined as she detached him.
"Goku, come on!" ChiChi laughed.
With a deep sigh, he finally complied and lifted himself off of her. He slung his backpack over his shoulder and grabbed her hand as the couple started walking down the hall to their homeroom. Bulma began to head in the opposite direction along with Krillin.
"Hey Goku! Don't forget about practice today!" Krillin shouted after him.
Goku simply raised his free hand and without turning around, flipped him off.
Krillin laughed. Yep, it was a typical morning.
Bulma was sitting in her assigned chair waiting for homeroom to officially start when she watched as Vegeta ran inside just as the tardy bell rang. He was practically gasping for air as he made his way to his seat, which happened to be to the right of Bulma's.
"What the hell happened to you?" She asked as he sat down.
"Don't start with me woman." He replied.
"Whatever." Bulma said as she began to file her nails.
Vegeta smirked and was about to say something else when the teacher interrupted him.
"Vegeta. Since you were not in your assigned seat when the bell rang, you have been marked tardy. That makes for three unexcused tardys this week. Which means I will see you here after school for detention."
Vegeta grumbled under his breath and looked down. He did not however miss the sound of a particular woman snickering beside him.
After 20 minutes the bell finally rang, signaling the end of homeroom. The students once again shuffled through the hallways as they made their way to their first period classes. By this time Goku was starting to feel a little bit more awake as he made his way towards his locker. As he opened the metal door, he heard a familiar growl sound from beside him. Goku looked to his left at Vegeta who was trying to open his own locker right next to Goku's.
"What's your problem?" Goku asked as he pulled out a history book.
"Detention." Vegeta grumbled in reply.
"Again?! Geez man, what's the deal?"
Vegeta slammed his locker shut and turned to scowl at his friend.
"None of your business!" He shouted before storming off down the hallway. Goku simply shrugged his shoulders before gently closing his own locker shut and headed down the opposite direction of the hall.
Krillin walked into his class and took his seat beside ChiChi. The class was Justice and Ethics, an elective course that only the two of them had.
"Hey ChiChi."
"Hey Krillin."
"Heard you did really well at that tournament last week." Krillin said as he began to open his notebook.
"Thanks." ChiChi blushed.
"Yeah, Goku was really proud of you."
ChiChi's blush only deepened.
The bell rang and their teacher walked into the room.
"Alright class, open your books to page 134.…"
The class groaned as they did as they were instructed.
"Yamcha! Stop your chattering and pay attention!" The teacher bellowed from the front of the class. Begrudgingly he complied and turned away from Bulma to face the front. "What was the point of this class anyways, I mean it wasn't like he was going to ever use algebra once he graduated." he thought to himself. He slouched deep into his seat and pouted.
Bulma couldn't help but laugh to herself. She had been talking just as loud to Yamcha, but only he was caught and called out on it. She supposed it was because she was naturally really good at math and always got good grades. Yamcha on the other hand, well he was a lost cause. Sure, she loved the guy to death, he was a really close friend, but he didn't really care too much about anything.
She became lost in her own thoughts until she heard her name being called.
"Bulma?"
"Huh, oh yeah?"
"Now that I have your attention, do you mind giving the class the answer to the problem on the board?"
Bulma glanced at the problem and smirked.
"y is equal to negative three."
After an hour the bell dismissed the students from class. Bulma walked with Yamcha towards their friends who gathered at Goku's locker everyday after first period.
"Hey Vegeta, you made it!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Barely." Bulma smirked, causing Vegeta to scowl at her.
"You've been showing up to school late a lot lately." ChiChi observed.
"Yeah man. What's the deal?" Krillin voiced.
"Just like I told Kakarrot, none of your business." Vegeta shouted..
Bulma sighed and grabbed Vegeta's hand.
"Come on jerk, you don't want to be late again." She said as she practically dragged him down the hall. Vegeta's face a mixture of shock and embarrassment as he let the blue haired girl lead him down the hall. Goku smiled at the sight. Bulma was the only one that Vegeta just couldn't intimidate no matter how hard he tried.
"Goku, are you coming?" ChiChi yelled out from down the hall.
Goku shook himself out of his thoughts and walked quickly towards his girlfriend who, amazingly, he thought, was actually being patient. Upon reaching her he again grabbed her hand, leaned in and kissed her cheek before running down the now almost empty corridor. This caused the raven-haired girl to giggle. She and Goku had a study period and since it was in the cafeteria they were allowed to buy some snacks. It was Goku's favorite class of the morning.
A/N: A good start? Nothing really too exciting in this chapter but boy is there going to be in the upcoming ones. Let's see…we have new students, a violent gang, martial arts tournaments, and even death! There will be angst and humor, romance and friendship. I hope you all will enjoy my first DBZ fic and continue to read it and possibly review.!?
