Under The Skin
DISCLAIMER: I don't own it and I think I ever shall!!
This is a story in which began to come together about a week ago. It is mostly based around Goku, Chi-Chi, Vegeta and Bulma.
Chapter One
' Now students, we have learned that osmosis is the diffusion of water from a low concentration area to a high concentration through a semi- ………'
"God! What a moron!" moaned a pointy haired teenager "why can't he get the point that most of us don't give a faeces!!"
"Where in life are we gonna use it! Wiping our asses," said a slouched wild haired boy. Both the boys began to snigger quite loud, which interrupted the professor at the front of the room.
The older man frowned at the two sniggering boys and asked, " Do you boys find something funny about the word organism? Hmmm?"
"No sir" said the boys in unison, who now began to snigger even more, but trying hard not to show it.
"Well calm yourselves and begin to do the questions on page two hundred and seven!!" bellowed the professor as he sat down to read over coursework sitting on his desk.
"You guys are SO immature, that it makes me wanna' vomit!! Especially you Goku!" said a cerulean haired young woman who was pointing her fluffy pen at the wild haired boy.
"Don't point that disgusting thing at me! I can't help it if I can't live up to your high standards Miss Panties!" replied Goku sarcastically, " we were just having a bit of a joke".
"Bulma quit being a snob, you're so uptight about Goku!" sighed a straggly raven-haired girl biting her nails.
"Shut up Chi!"
"Chi-Chi is right, I can't help it if I don't have all the things rich kids like you and Vegeta have. Its quite petty how you victimize me just because I'm poor!!" replied Goku with a pouting sad face.
"I'm saying nothing, cause your already pissed and I kindly don't want to ruin your clean record of behaviour… Teacher's Pet" smirked Vegeta to Bulma.
"Piss off you little shits" Bulma said as she flicked them away with her fluffy pen, which she knew they couldn't stand as they swiftly turned around.
It was obvious that Bulma didn't like Goku. He was dirty, sneaky and an attention seeker, it was like he would do anything for detention, it was as though it was a badge of honour for him, and was pathetic in her eyes. And for Vegeta, well, he was an annoying, aggravating and sarcastic prick, who was always egging Goku on to get in trouble. She and Vegeta were in an on/off relationship; they always seemed to clash but always ended up back with one another. It was as though she seemed secure with him.
"Bulma? Will you please stop staring? Its kinda creepy!" moaned Chi-Chi who was now tickling her friend with her fuzzy pen top.
"Quit it Chi"
"Well, stop staring B!"
Suddenly the bell rung, and everyone began to chatter and gather their stuff together. It was lunchtime, and everyone was hungry so began to head for the canteen.
"Right! Whose turn is it to feed me today eh?" Goku yelled over the noise of the canteen.
"Why can't you buy your own food? You do have a job don't you? Why don't you use that money? I'm so sick of this every day," pouted Bulma.
"I have a good answer to that, but I do not have the love or trust of you or Chi-Chi to tell you. So… FEED ME!!" snapped Goku angrily.
"Come Chi, we are clearly not respected here so were leaving" replied Bulma huffily now dragging her confused looking friend away, but Chi-Chi stopped her, and started running towards Goku with a paper bag.
"Here Goku, have this! I don't really like tuna all that well so you're welcome to have it!"
"Thanks Chi," smiled Goku "I can always count on you can't I, but …don't you want the rest of the junk in here? You'll be hungry all afternoon."
"Don't worry about me. Mom makes big breakfasts, I'm still full!" rubbing her stomach.
"Can we go? I want to take my crap!!" snapped Vegeta.
Chi-Chi smiled at Goku who was looking quite worried, and pranced back to Bulma with her baggy dress flowing behind her.
"You always give him your food! It not good for you Chi!" whined Bulma, "he's bound to find out why sooner or later. Probably later cause he's so dumb."
"I don't wan' it B, it makes me ill! At least it gets a good home with Goku. He always seems so grateful."
"He's just using you for your food nothing else"
"My god Bulma, your so bitchy! Give it a rest for one minute; we all get the point that you don't like him!" Chi-Chi hissed.
Bulma just tutted as Chi-Chi rolled her eyes in response.
Boy's toilets.
"Well that's my meal for the day" Goku brooded as he looked at the empty bag.
"Shut your mouth Kakarot!" Vegeta growled from a cubicle.
Goku fiddled with his wrist high gloves and started to scratch the material. Goku didn't come from a good family; he often used humour or troublemaking to get away from his problems. His home life was in no way a happy one, and often roamed the streets with Vegeta. Goku couldn't understand why Vegeta hung around with him, as he came from an upper class family from the east side of town, which was renowned for its classy houses and fancy gates. He just explained that he was rebelling, and that was all he told him.
"I need more! I've ran out!" Vegeta fumed.
Goku looked up at Vegeta for a moment and noticed a trickle of blood coming from his nose. Goku pointed at his own and said " Vegeta you've got a lil' bit of blood!"
Vegeta wiped his nose on his sleeve and shoved a small plastic bag in the bin. He stood for a bit in silence just looking around wide eyed.
"Lets go!" Vegeta exclaimed, and walked out the door.
Goku got up confused and followed his friend out the door, and noticed he was heading outside. Goku caught up with Vegeta and asked.
"Where the hell are we going? Are we skipping?"
"I am, but your not"
"WHAT! WHY?"
"Cause I need someone here to say I'm sick!" Vegeta frowned.
"We never bothered with this before! Why has this come up all of a sudden?" Goku began to complain.
"Cause my father will have my head if he finds out I'm skipping class after I promised him that I wouldn't, and if he does it means I don't get my monthly allowance" Vegeta snapped angrily at the confused Goku.
"Fine" Goku huffed, "I'll cover you! Where you going anyway?"
"Nappa's Den to get some smack." He whispered before sneaking off to the school gates.
'Alone…. again. Stuck saving Pompous' ass again' Goku thought, as he punched his fist into his hand angrily.
Suddenly the bell rung to signal the end of lunch, and everybody began to head back to class. Goku did the same, and headed for the sixth form room.
Sixth Form Room
The Sixth Form room was a large room, which housed the students who decided to stay on to study and try for university. It was quite modern, the walls a light midnight blue, painted with silver streaks to make it look more youthful and messy, courtesy of the art students. It also had a kitchen with a kettle and toaster and that was all. There used to be a microwave but was removed due to misuse. It also had numerous couches to which Goku sat down on one and flung his head back only to see a pair of brown uug boots walking towards him. He flung his head back up and turned around to see Chi-Chi.
"Hey Goku" Chi-Chi smiled "Why you by yourself? Where'd Pompous go?"
Goku thought for a moment to think of an excuse for Vegeta.
"He had a…. severe…. ah… nose bleed." Goku replied, remembering the trickle of blood coming from Vegeta's nose in the boy's toilets.
"Really?" Chi-Chi asked raising her eyebrows with curiosity "How'd that happen?"
"Ahhhhh… he walked into a door I came outta!" Goku lied nervously.
"I thought it would have been more exciting with him acting all macho all the time?" Chi-Chi giggled, " Oh yeah! I came over here to ask you if you have the paper from Monday's Psychology class? I lost mine!"
"Sure" Goku replied as he went in search for his bag, which could not be seen anywhere. "Crap! I think I left my bag at home Chi."
"No problem! I'll just come over to your place this evening to get…"
"No, no, no, no, no. You can't come over!" Goku pleaded desperately as he began to slowly freak out.
"What's wrong with me coming over? Why you freaking out?" asked Chi-Chi who was trying to calm Goku down.
Goku sat in silence for a minute and began to explain that where he lived wasn't a very safe place for a girl like herself. It was a very rough place where gangs and drug dealers congregated, and the last thing he wanted was for Chi-Chi to get hurt, and assured her that he would deliver it to her in the evening. Chi-Chi smiled and nodded to him and went to sit with a blue haired girl who was reading a gossip magazine.
Goku sighed in relief and slouched into the foamy, stained brown sofa. To Goku that was only half the reason he didn't want Chi-Chi over but was not ready to explain the other half, as it was far too hard for him. Suddenly, someone hit him over the head with a magazine and turned around to see a bald boy wearing a woolly hat.
"Hey Krillin" Goku greeted half heartedly, with a bored look on his face.
"Hey" said the boy and jumped onto the sofa beside Goku "I came to ask if you did that product design for business studies this afternoon?"
Goku eyes went wide with shock and screamed "CRAP!!" and began hitting his head on the armrest of the sofa.
"Oh thank God! I'm not the only one, phew!" Krillin sighed in relief and flopped into the sofa.
Goku lifted his head and turned his head to frown at Krillin. It wasn't in this small boys nature not to do his assignments, he was always determined to do better than everybody else.
"What were you and Chi-Chi talking about? You looked a lil freaked out man?" Krillin questioned as he picked at his nails.
"Nuthin'! Just psychology stuff! Why'd you not do your homework? That's not like you? Are you trying to get me in trouble again? Cause you did this to me in Science like a month ago?" Goku asked like a suspicious parent to the now paranoid Krillin.
"No! I really didn't do it and I only asked cause I didn't wanna' get in trouble by myself" Krillin muttered.
"Who says I'm not gonna do it now?"
"Well, if you can do a product design in ten minutes and without your study book then I would be worried" Krillin smiled sarcastically to the snarling Goku who turned around sulkily and put his head in his hands and mumbled 'smart ass'.
After School
It was end of the day and everyone was heading home. Goku was to stay behind for detention for not handing in his product design in Business Studies. Krillin was let off the hook cause it was his first offence to Mr Morke.
Bulma and Chi-Chi were heading out the gates when they saw Vegeta sitting on one of the pillars. Chi-Chi stared at Vegeta very confused. Goku had told her that he had gone home sick, unless he was lying and covering for him. But it wasn't like Goku to stay behind in school and for Vegeta to run off on his own; they always did their skipping together. Something must have come up for the two boys to be separated like this.
"Hey Pompous! I thought you were sick?" Chi-Chi yelled at Vegeta, who turned around to see Chi-Chi walking towards him, and Bulma following slowly, "Well!? I thought you were sick?"
"I am!" Vegeta puffed as he smoked a cigarette, "Where's Kakarot?"
"Detention with Mr Morke!" Bulma moaned as she grabbed Vegeta's cigarettes and lighter from his pocket and lit up.
"He'd do anything to not go home these days!" Vegeta murmured under his breath.
"What's that supposed to mean?" the two girls said in unison, inquisitively.
Well that's the end of Chapter One! I know its quite boring and full of chatter but I'll make sure Chapter Two is a lot better!! The Chapters will probably look into the lives of the main characters.
