"Wake up Mae, you're running late again!" my mother said loudly, my eyelids fluttering open lazily as I fought to wake.
"Huh?" I croaked groggily, squinting and closing my eyes at the bright light coming from my window.
"I said wake up, school's starting in half an hour and you're not even dressed yet," she said impatiently, standing with her arms crossed already fixed up for work.
Her brown hair was styled in its usual braid and she had applied a light coat of red lipstick and mascara.
"Oh, right," I mumbled, jumping off the bed in one swift movement.
We had just moved to Satan City a week ago and it was my first day at Orange Star High. She had gotten promoted to the facility Capsule Corp., which was located in the heart of the city, leaving us no choice but to pack up and leave everything we knew. We lived alone since my father had died when I was just seven from a terrible accident that occurred while he was working in a factory.
"I'll be in the kitchen if you need me," she called as she hurried down the stairs.
I grudgingly made my bed and threw on denim skinny jeans, a white tank-top, and a burgundy cardigan. I quickly brushed my teeth and peered at my reflection in the mirror. I thought of myself as average even though my friends back in West City assured me I was very pretty. My hair was a reddish brown that came down to my waist, I had medium length eyelashes, full lips, hazel eyes, and fair skin. My hair was in its usual mess, sticking out in weird directions and slightly frizzy. I hurriedly combed it to the side and let my bangs fall into place. After slipping on my favorite pair of black converse, I ran down the stairs, almost falling on my face in the process.
I quickly picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulders, making sure all my textbooks were inside.
"You ready honey?" my mom asked, grabbing her purse.
"Yeah, just let me grab my lunch," I called from the living room.
I snatched up the brown lunch bag sitting on the counter and stuffed it into my bag. As I hurried out of the kitchen I checked the clock and it read 7:50. "Crap!" I cried.
There were exactly ten minutes left until school started.
I sprinted to our blue hover car and slammed the door behind me, practically yelling at my mother to hurry up and start the engine. Luckily there wasn't much traffic so we made it there in seven minutes.
"Bye mom, love you," I said as I jumped out of the car and raced towards the office. The last thing I wanted to do was get on my new teacher's bad side.
The secretary handed me a paper with my schedule on it and I was relieved to find that my first period class was just two rooms over. I made it in just as the bell rang, and the teacher, Mr. Gordon , introduced me to the class by announcing,"Class, I would like for all of you to meet our new student, Mae Walker."
"Hi," I greeted shyly, slightly biting my lip like I always did when I got nervous. Almost everyone began to speak at once as I stood there awkwardly, trying my best not to blush.
After Mr. Gordon got the class settled he pointed at an empty seat next to a boy with jet black hair. "You'll be sitting next to Son Gohan from now on. Don't worry about your other classes, they all have the same seating arrangement," he said reassuringly.
I was walking towards my seat, happy because I got to sit way in the back, but then I got a better look at my partner. He was the hottest boy I'd ever seen in my life! The wind was knocked out of me as took in his onyx eyes, light skin, slightly spiky black hair, and almost exaggeratedly innocent expression.
"Hey, I'm Gohan," he said with a friendly smile as I neared him. His voice was just as innocent as his face, something I found extremely attractive.
I forced myself to smile back and shakily sat down next to him. I felt such a strong attraction towards him that it was kind of disorienting, like I was in a dream. Confusion clouded my mind as I realized no one had ever made me feel that way before. I'd never been one to believe in fate, but this strange feeling had me thinking otherwise. Great, my first day there and I already had a crush on someone!
"Mae, Mr. Gordon just called on you!" an angelic voice warned, snapping me out of my daze.
"Y-yes!" I called, trying to sound awake.
" Ms. Walker, for future reference, I would like you to pay attention in my class from now on," the teacher said sternly.
"Sorry, I guess I must have been daydreaming- but I promise it won't happen again," I apologized, cursing myself for being stupid and not paying attention.
When he went back to droning on about his lecture, I turned my attention back to Gohan and found my voice.
"Thanks for the heads up" I smiled softly. It was hard to be nervous around someone that looked so innocent and nice.
"No problem," he said, grinning in such a carefree way that I couldn't help but widen my smile.
"So, how long have you been coming here?" I asked casually, trying to get a conversation out of him.
"For a few weeks, maybe a month," he replied, and I couldn't help but notice how shy his voice sounded.
"So, you're kinda new yourself," I prompted.
"I guess I am," he said.
Damn, he's so hot! I thought.
"So, do you live near the school or the city?" I asked.
"Umm... well, I live on Mt. Paozu," he replied uncomfortably.
"What? Isn't that hundreds of miles away?" I cried, looking around to make sure he'd been the only person to hear me. "How do you even get here on time?" I continued, lowering my voice so the teacher wouldn't catch us conversing.
"Well..it's a long story" he replied hesitantly.
"It's okay, I don't mean to pry," I insisted, blushing slightly in embarrassment.
"It's fine," he smiled. "If we get to know each other better, I promise I'll tell you," he added with a soft grin, making my heart flutter.
The bell rung soon after that, signaling the start for second period. We got up and exited the classroom, and I shot a shy look towards the boy walking beside me.
"Is it okay if we walk to chemistry together?" I asked hopefully. I had yet to make any friends except for him and I really didn't feel like walking alone.
"Sure, I don't mind, I was actually about to ask you the same thing," Gohan said, chuckling a little as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Thank you, you're such a gentleman," I grinned. I had a feeling Gohan and I would become great friends, and who knew, maybe even more.
I hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter and I promise I'll update faithfully! Remember to review and I don't mind a little constructive criticism, just no flames. The lack of GohanxOC stories was what drove me to write this story and I hope many more are made. I love all of you and I hope you continue reading!
