The homerooms and hallways of Orange Star high school were quite active this morning, as there were rumors of two new students joining the ranks of the school, and apparently there were whispers among the faculty about one of them was a celebrity. Of course, this news had been overheard by the school gossips, and had been spread throughout the halls like wildfire by those that cared about such things.
"Alright class, settle down," the teacher, Mr. Wutzittuya, called to the rows of students. Near the back of the class a certain black haired demi-saiyan picked his head up from the table and looked forward. Son Gohan, unknown savior of the world, payed attention as the teacher was about to call attendance. He had started his senior year of Orange Star high school seven years after the defeat of Cell. His mother Chi-Chi thought it would be good for him to get out and socialize with people his own age after his father's death, so after his younger brother Goten was born and his mom thought he was ready for it, it was off to highschool with him.
He made as much of an effort as possible to conceal his strengths and abilities, making sure to wear baggy clothes to conceal his muscles and purposely started to try and fail gym class. He didn't want the attention he could draw and he didn't want to be labeled a freak. He currently wore a pair of red pants and a long sleeved white shirt a couple sizes too big with a black vest over it, and he had cut his hair to be short and spiky. On his feet he wore simple black shoes, unknown to everyone else except him that they had been engineered by the president of Capsule Corporation herself to withstand running at speeds equal to a supersonic jet. On his left wrist, he wore a digital watch that contained the outfit for his superhero alter ego: The Great Saiyaman.
On the outside he looked exactly like you would expect a eighteen year old senior to look, many of the female students finding him attractive even. However he had a hard time trying to fit in regardless, since he barely had any social interaction with anyone his own age, although he had found some friends, or at least acquaintances, in Erasa, Videl and Sharpner. The three sat to his right in that order, and hadn't made him feel unwelcome at least, however Videl would not stop questioning his every move and he had to take special measures to make sure she wouldn't learn anything.
Gohan took a short look out the window where he saw that the moon was out. At some point three years ago, it had randomly vaporized, but it had since naturally returned itself to normal. All the Z-Fighters had scrambled to Kami's lookout as soon as it had happened, but Dende had told them to drop the subject. Apparently it wasn't their problem to deal with at the time, it was some else's much to the surprise of the Z-fighters. Reluctantly they decided to leave it alone, expecting to be called in at some point anyway to resolve it. Surprisingly they never had to make that call. The Z-Fighters would later see the TV announcement later that year that a monster had been responsible, and had taken students as hostages for that past year. But somehow Gohan just couldn't believe that. He had seen in a short news clip how some of the students had tried to defend the creature, but it had been massively dismissed as stockholm syndrome. The news reports of anything relating to the matter altogether had stopped a month after and it was becoming increasingly difficult to find the news clips as internet videos. Apparently the government was working on protecting the privacy of the students from that class so they wouldn't be bothered by the media. That's exactly what Gohan feared would happen if the world ever found out he killed Cell, so he felt a strange form of kinship with those kids he had never met.
Gohan focused his attention back down to the front as the Mr. Wutzittuya called his name.
"Son Gohan!"
"Here sir!" He shouted back.
"Quiet nerd, nobody cares!" Jeered Sharpner. The class laughed and Gohan looked at his desk. He saw Videl roll her eyes and shake her head before she punched Sharpner really hard in the arm, and Erasa turned around and gave him a sympathetic look. He just shrugged at her. He didn't really care, Vegeta had called him much worse before.
The teacher glared at Sharpner, "May I remind you young man that you are just barely above the grades required of you to play on your beloved sports teams?" That statement shut Sharpner up big time. The teacher flashed Gohan a smile while he returned with a big grin.
Mr. Wutzittuya finished taking attendance and turned to his desk to put down the attendance sheet. Turning back to face the class he said, "I have some exciting news for you boys and girls today, although I'm sure many of you are already aware of the fact." The class broke into whispers, seeing how their suspicions had been confirmed. "We are gaining two new students today. They are starting a bit late because they switched over to Orange Star from the high schools they were currently attending and missed the deadline for usual admissions. They both scored perfectly on the entry exams however, which was enough of a reason for them to be processed in. I hope you can all learn something from their example." Whispers murmured about how they would probably be another couple of geeks like Gohan, while some were wondering if either of them were actually famous at all. Gohan, with his super hearing, could hear them all. He didn't care though, he was just as curious as the rest of the class about the newcomers. Maybe with some luck, the class would forget about him and he could just ghost through the rest of the year.
"I have asked them to introduce themselves one at a time for the sake of convenience. If you would please come in now and introduce yourself thank you!" He shouted into the hallway. "Sake of convenience", what did that mean most of the class thought?
The first new student walked in. People stopped whispering long enough to get a good look. The first new student to walk in was a boy with sky blue hair that was cut short, with matching blue eyes. He was wearing gray cargo pants and a dark blue t-shirt under a black zip-down hoodie which he had open at the moment. He also had a gray messenger bag slung on his left shoulder. Gohan could hear whispers that some of the class thought he was a girl, a pretty one at that. He could see why though, the boy was a bit small for his age, even if he was average height, and had a physique closer to a girl his age.
He heard Sharpner say, "Hey hey, check her out. A little flat chested but she's pretty cu-," was what he got out before Videl elbowed him in the stomach.
"Guys are disgusting," she muttered.
Gohan chuckled a little at the exchange.
"What are you laughing at nerd?" Sharpner hissed.
"Sharpner? That's a guy." Gohan stated.
Sharpner went wide-eyed as Videl and Erasa broke into laughing fits. The new kid looked up at them in their seats, his eyes glinting with curiosity as to what was so funny.
"Go on, introduce yourself," the teacher told him.
"My name is Nagisa Shiota. I'm seventeen years old and this is my first time in Satan City. I like video games, comics,reading, and my favorite food is sushi."
Gohan could hear the murmurs almost immediately. The class was already writing him off as another unremarkable student. Poor guy.
"Alright young man that'll do, why don't you take a seat in the back row?" Mr. Wutzittuya motioned with his hand and pointed to a few empty seats in the row behind Gohan and company.
"Yes sir." Nagisa moved up the stairs and took a seat on the end of the row directly behind Gohan. Gohan decided that he should probably take a moment to greet him and turned around to say hello.
"Hi, I'm Son Gohan. Nice to meet you Nagisa." Gohan said while extending his right hand.
Nagisa looked at him for a moment then smiled. "Likewise Gohan." And he took Gohan's hand and shook it. Gohan was secretly a little excited, it was looking like he might actually make a friend!
"Awww how cute, brains has a new playmate," a new voice scorned. Gohan and Nagisa stopped shaking hands and looked at the source, Sharpner.
It was at this point an irritated Videl elbowed Sharpner hard in his ribs. "BE NICE!" She yelled at him.
"AHEM." Mr. Wutzittuya cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention. Everyone refocused their attention back down to the front, where Mr. Wutzittuya was glaring at Sharpner.
"Last warning young man! Now then, we still have one more student left to introduce. Miss, if you would please come in?"
Everyone turned their attention to the door where a girl a little shorter than Nagisa walked in. She had long black hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a yellow t-shirt and black pants. She had a black messenger bag slung over her shoulder that was identical to Nagisa's gray one. Gohan thought that she was pretty, but otherwise unremarkable until…
"EEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Erasa and most of the rest of the class fangirled/boyed. Gohan was covering his ears, which were now ringing, Videl was just sighing at the class's antics, and Nagisa was just quietly laughing to himself. Gohan looked back down at the new girl who was laughing a little nervously to herself at the reaction.
"...Well now that that's out of the way, please introduce yourself miss." Mr Wutzittuya told her.
"Haha okay, well I'm guessing by your guys reaction that you already know who I am but I'll say it anyway. My name is Akari Yukimura. Last year I decided to take another break from my acting career to come back to public school. My hobbies include baking, reading, and of course acting. I hope we get along!" She said.
Mr. Wutzittuya nodded and gestured, "Alright Ms. Yukimura, please sit anywhere you like."
"Okay." She smiled at Mr. Wutzittuya and started walking up the stairs, where both boys and girls alike were trying desperately to get her to sit with them. Videl was getting noticeably more irritated as Sharpner had an open seat to his right that he wanted her to sit in, and finally Videl punched him to get him to stop. Akari kept walking up the stairs and went right past their row to the next one, where she sat right next to Nagisa much to the disappointment of most of the class.
Erasa wasted no time turning around and introducing herself. "Hi, I'm Erasa. It's nice to meet you!"
Akari smiled at her. "Hello, I'm Akari, nice to meet you Erasa." And she stuck out her hand for Erasa to shake it, which she did.
Erasa then motioned to the girl next to her. "This is Videl," she pointed at Sharpner, "that's Sharpner," and then she pointed to Gohan, "and that's Gohan."
Akari looked at Videl. "Videl? As in Videl Satan?" Videl sighed. If this girl was like any of the other female celebrities she's had to interact with over the years since her father became famous then it would mean she would start trying to hangout with Videl to further her own public image.
Videl sighed, "yeah, that's me."
What Akari said next caught Videl completely off guard. "oh, that must be nice, being a celebrity's daughter and all. But I bet you hate the cameras right?"
Videl just looked at her and blinked. "Yeah. Actually I completely hate the press. They make it so hard to live a normal life."
Akari nodded. "Yeah, when they heard I was coming to this school they were out on the streets. Nagisa and I had to walk several blocks out of the way and back to avoid them, we were almost super late."
"You two already know each other?" Erasa chimed in.
Nagisa started to pull a Gohan and look disinterestedly out the window while Akari smiled and nodded, "Yeah, he's my best friend! We go way back."
"What? How did the shrimp pull that off? Don't you want to hang with a real man?" Sharpner interrupted.
Videl punched him again while Akari glared at him. "Y'know, I'm pretty sure I already don't like you, and it hasn't even been five minutes." And then she turned her attention down to the front of the room where Mr. Wutzittuya was getting ready to teach class.
Videl gave a deep sigh as she realized that she'd have to beat down Sharpner later on because she was actually starting to really like Akari.
Hi guys I'm new! This is my first fanfic ever and I would appreciate any feed back that can be given. This fic is essentially going to replace the whole Majin Buu saga but I'm not sure how yet, I just wanted to see if people would be interested in the concept. Future chapters will be longer if interest is shown in the story but updates will be sporadic and slow because I'm really not that great of a writer. Please leave a review.
