Chapter One: The New Dean
"Hurry up Trunks, or we'll be late!" Bulma called from the foot of the stairs. She stood there with her purse swung over her shoulder and a book bag in her left hand. She glanced up and yelled, "Trunks if you don't get your butt down here this instinct I'm gonna-"
"Coming mom!" Trunks interrupted as he quickly hopped down the steps and landed in front of Bulma. In his hand was his cell phone. "What took you so long?" She asked. "We're gonna be late."
"Sorry, I had to get my phone." The purple-haired boy grabbed his book bag from her hand and said, "Can I at least have something to eat first?" She nodded and told Trunks to follow her into the kitchen so she could get him something. Bulma put her purse in a chair and Trunks sat at the table. She dug into a bag and placed to pieces of bread into the toaster.
Trunks cleared his throat and spoke, "Mom..."
"Hm?"
"Where's Yamcha?"
"He's at work and I think he might have to pick you up from school today because I gotta stay behind and help with that stupid meeting."
"Does he have to?" The boy whined and Bulma nodded.
"Yes sweetie. I'll be home later."
Trunks mumbled something inaudible as Bulma handed him his toast. He quickly munched on it and finished within seconds. "Ready?" She asked and Trunks grabbed his bag. "Yep." The two walked outside toward Bulma's car and hopped in. Bulma had to quickly drop Trunks off at school then head to work. Its been like that for the past five years. They were silent the entire way until they reached his school. "Bye mom." He said as he opened the door.
"Bye sweetie, do you remember my number?"
"Yes mom."
"Okay, Yamcha will pick you up after school." She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Trunks climbed out of the car and Bulma watched him as he ran to catch up with Goten. The two immediately began chatting away about their summer. Bulma pulled out of the parking lot and began heading to the high school she taught at. As she drove she couldn't help but think about the things that happened to her life in the past twelve years. How it turned from happiness
to sorrow and back to happiness.
Bulma and Vegeta both attended Orange Star High School. They first met when they were sophomores and as soon as they graduated, they married and Bulma immediately gave birth to Trunks. Everything seemed to be perfect, until strange arguments happened between the couple. Arguments that always resulted in Vegeta storming out of the house and cursing at Bulma. When Trunks reached seven, the two filed for divorce both fed up with one another.
Of course, everyone doesn't know the real story about what broke their marriage up. The only thing that Bulma told her close friends was that she was tired of Vegeta and she couldn't stand him anymore. End of story. The last time she saw Vegeta was when they walked out of the court room together and that was five years ago. During those five years, things started to turn good for Bulma. She gained custody of Trunks and got a job as a teacher just like the rest of her friends.
She then met and fell in love with a guy named Yamcha, who was a mailman, and she moved in with him. Bulma couldn't be happier. Everyone was happy, except Trunks that is. The boy hated Yamcha. No matter how many times he tired to bond with him, Trunks didn't want it. He felt as if Yamcha was trying to take over of being his 'father' and he couldn't stand it. He had one father, and that was Vegeta. No one will replace him. Ever.
The poor boy fell into depression and began wetting the bed. The divorce was a big influence on his life and he even took it harder than Bulma did. As long as she was with him, Trunks would be unhappy. If it weren't from alot of convincing from Bulma and Goten, who knows what Trunks would've done. Even to this day he has to still see a psychiatrist about it, but he's doing better. Just gets in trouble alot at school.
Bulma stopped on her brakes and took the key out of the car. She sat there for a moment before grabbing her purse and briefcase and then getting out of the car. She walked silently through the parking lot as she couldn't help but think about how screwed up her life had been she nearly ran into a van while thinking, when she heard from behind her, "Hey Bulma!" She quickly turned around saw Goku climbing out of his greenish- blueish car. Bulma smirked and greeted him.
"Hi Goku, long time no see, right?"
"Yep. Way too long." On the passenger side, Chichi stepped out and ran a hand through her hair. "Oh, Bulma. Hello, how have you been. I haven't seen you since May."
"Oh, I'm fine Chichi. You look great."
"Thanks you too."
The back door opened and out stepped Gohan. He was slightly taller than the last time she saw him. He really grew over the summer and if Chichi didn't say his name, Bulma wouldn't be able to recognize him. "Here you go Gohan." Chichi said as she handed him his book bag. Gohan took it and said, "Oh, hi Bulma. Bye Bulma. See you after school mom!" With that, Gohan sprinted toward the building and was out of sight.
"What's his problem?" Bulma asked and Chichi chuckled.
"Well, you know seniors. Can't be late, or they won't graduate!"
"Yeah."
Goku popped the trunk open and handed Chichi her briefcase. He pulled one out for himself and slammed the trunk. "Did ya here the news?" He asked as the trio began making their way to the same door Gohan entered earlier. Bulma shook her head. "No, what is it?"
"Well, they said Jeff Scofield lost his job. You, know him right?"
"I think so. The dean, right?"
"Yep. I heard that when he was at the summer school program, a kid started talking about his last name. You know how he is when it comes to his last name." They all nodded and Goku continued. "So the kid kept talking and they say Jeff snapped. It took four cops to pull him off the kid. Instead of taking him to jail they went straight to the nut house."
There was an odd silence and Goku spoke again. "This new dean we got, they say their good. I mean really good. One look and they can stop a fight just like that. Best in the state I'd say, problem is, I don't know the name or the gender. But they're good though."
"Wow, how come I never heard of this?"
"It happened in July. If I know better Bulma, you don't check your e-mails over the summer. I do."
"Oh."
Goku opened the door for them and the three walked down a long hallway full of freshmen. "Great, just what we need. More teenagers." Chichi muttered as she followed her husband down the hall. They all entered into the main office and saw Launch sitting behind the secretary's desk. "Hi guys, how have you been?" She asked smiling.
Goku plopped down on a couch and sighed loudly. "I'm fine."
"Where's Broly?" Bulma asked as she eyed the Principal's office and was surprised to see the light off. Launch blinked and responded, "Oh, he has a meeting with the School Board and will be back around...about ten. So that means-"
"...I'm going to have to make the stupid Back-To-School Speech?" Bulma said finishing her sentence and Launch nodded. "Yep."
"Hey guys." Everyone turned to the door to see Krillin and 18 standing in the door way. "Hi." They all said at once as the blonde and short man stepped in. Krillin saw the angry look on Bulma's face and said, "What's the matter Bulma? Is Trunks misbehaving again? I swear everyday he acts alot like his fathe-" Krillin quickly stopped and covered his hand with his mouth. Before he could finish his sentence, he didn't realize what he was saying.
Nobody moved. If they did, somebody would get hurt. When it was about a year since Bulma and Vegeta's split, when ever someone mentioned Vegeta she would attack them physically. Yell and curse at them from every word in the book then burst into tears. To make this very weird, Bulma always said she hated Vegeta, and wanted nothing to do with him, but when a little crack about his name and she bursts into tears? None of that made sense.
Bulma stared at the odd looks everyone was giving her and she quickly laughed. "What's with the faces guys? Don't worry, I'm now completely over Vegeta. So you don't have to worry Krillin. And thank you guys for caring about me."
"Ummm, your welcome. I guess..." Krillin mumbled. Bulma looked down at her watch. "Crap, I'm going to be late for teaching my Biology class. Is the assembly at nine Chichi?"
"Yeah, I don't have a class till ten."
"Okay, see you guys later." Bulma brushed past 18 who blinked in confusion. "What? I don't get it. Who are you talking about Krillin?"
"Oh, since you didn't go to the same high school as us 18 you didn't know a guy Bulma use to date named Vegeta. They were once married and had a kid together and they mysteriously broke up. No one knows why for sure. Except Bulma and Vegeta. She refuses to tell us and when we use to mention his name she would beat the living crap out of us. We haven't seen him in five years."
"Oh, well. I gotta go get the stupid library reorganized. Peace out people." 18 turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
"I gotta got teach Honors English to a bunch of sophomores. See ya guys at the assembly." Krillin said and quickly followed his wife out of the small cramped office.
"Well, I gotta got teach Pre-Algebra to a bunch of freshmen, anybody know where Piccolo is?" Goku asked and Launch said, "I think he's in the gym room. You know, since he's the P.E teacher and all. Tien is in the shop room somewhere."
"Oh, okay. Thanks Launch."
"Don't mention it."
Goku climbed off the sofa and left. Chichi just shrugged and went to teach her Child Care class.
Gohan walked down the hallway holding a small piece of paper that read the number 374. It was his locker number and usually on the first day of school since he was a freshmen, he NEVER looked forward to this. Every single year at Orange Star High, everyone got a new locker each year because of the new coming freshmen and every year Gohan was next to some freaks. When you say freaks, it was actual freaks.
When Gohan was a sophomore he was next to a boy named Allen Armstrong. The boy was overweight and often had food hiding somewhere in his locker. Because if his size, Gohan had to get up an hour early in order to get to his locker and class on time. That was one messed up year. On that same year, Gohan was next to a girl named Gwendolyn 'Gwen' Nightshadow. The girl seemed to be a bigger pain than Allen.
She wore dark clothing and dressed like a goth kid, even though she denied being a goth. She was very quiet and never smiled nor laughed not once. No matter what. Everyone thought she was weird. She had long black hair and often had it covering her eyes so she 'wouldn't have to look at the outside world' some claimed. Despite these things, she was an excellent artist, but Gohan never talked to her. She really freaked Gohan out.
Her mother was Stacey Nightshadow who taught English to freshmen. Some say she was as weird as her mother. When Gohan was a junior, he was next to a guy who goes by the name "Mr. Slinky" whose real name was Bobbie. Bobbie was very strange, always looking around nervously and checking to see what time it was, it wasn't until March of that year when everyone found out he was a drug addict and often sold drugs on school property. He was caught one time and expelled from the school.
On the other side of him was a girl named Venus. She had blonde hair and green eyes. She was the strangest out of them all, and Gohan witnessed it for himself. One day when he was walking home, he saw Venus sitting outside her house on the porch. He was about to walk up to her when he noticed the cat she held onto tightly. She began licking it, that's right. Licking it like it was an ice cream cone or if she were the cat's mother. Gohan nearly puked then and there. To make it more weird, she had a crazy obsession with dolls. Thousands of them were in her room everywhere. She talked to them and treated them like people.
One day when they were in P.E. she asked to be excused to the washroom. Erasa, one of Gohan's trusted friends, asked to go when she came back and when she went into the stall she said she saw hair every where. All around the toilet and on the floor. Erasa said it looked like the girl coughed up a hair ball. When they asked her about it, she completely denied it and said she saw it like that when she went in there. No one believed her.
But this year was gonna be different! Yes it was. For once since Gohan's three years in high school, he wants to be by normal people. People that were like him...sorta. He stopped at his locker and opened it up and began shoving his stuff in. He looked to his right, and saw Gwendolyn down the hall, standing at her locker and shoving books in. Thank god she is NOT by me this year! He thought. "Excuse me? Is this locker 375?" A squeaky voice asked from behind him. Gohan turned around and almost busted into laughter.
Behind him, was a boy that appeared to be 4ft tall. He had bifocals. He wore a bright pink shirt that had bleach stains in it and bright blue jeans. These were the type of jeans that appeared to be too small for him and people wore in the early nineties making him flood. Besides that, he had big gyms shoes on that weren't name brand, but appeared to be made from a foreign country nobody heard of.
"Um...hehe...yeah, its, um... right here." Gohan said as he pointed to the locker on his right.
"Thank you." The squeaky voice replied and happily began going through his locker. Gohan just wanted to stand there and laugh at the boy. Point and call him a nerd, but knew his mother would disapprove. Alright, one down...one to go... Gohan continued to go through his locker. He was very curious to who was next to him and he couldn't help but be impatient. Half of him wanted to go to class, while the other said stay and wait.
Dozen of people walked past but no one stopped in front of locker 375. Just screw it! I'm going to be late on the first day! As Gohan was about to close his locker he heard a female voice say, "Watsup Gohan?" He quickly turned around saw a dark-haired pigtailed girl with blue eyes staring at him. "V-Videl?" He suddenly found himself speechless.
He became nervous and his palms got sweaty. She was only in Gohan's P.E. class once since he's been at Orange Star High. That was when he was a junior. Since then, he only saw Videl in lunch or in the hallways and he had a 'little crush' on her since. She smirked.
"Is this locker 373? If so I guess you're 374, right?" He quickly nodded and at that moment Gohan wanted to do back flips. He wanted to run down the hallway and yell, "In your face suckers! I'm not next to a freak! I'm next to Videl Satan, so suck on that!" Then he would kick someone in the stomach just for the thrill of it. But knew he would get suspended.
"Gohan? Can you like, move? I need to get in my locker." Gohan blushed and stepped out of way. "I guess I'll see ya." He turned on his heel but before he could move an inch forward, Videl grabbed his arm and said, "Gohan, what class are you heading to?"
"Oh, um, Advanced Placement English, why?"
"Oh, really? I was just about to head there myself, who is the teacher?"
"Someone named Mr. 17."
"Cool, just wait for me. I want to make sure I sit right next to you". The way she said it made shivers go up his spine and Gohan blushed.
"...okay." He managed to say. After a few minutes of waiting, Videl and Gohan walked down the hallway together...
It was around 8:55 and the bell rung as all of the students left their first period class and headed to the Assembly Room to get the Back-To-School Speech. Nobody liked that speech. At least, not the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The freshmen loved it. As students piled in to take their seats, Goku and Chichi noticed Gohan walking in with Videl. Both of them laughing like crazy and leaning on one another. They were awfully close and Chichi frowned. "That boy...I swear its the first day and he already has a freakin' girlfriend!" Goku looked at Chichi and laughed.
"Well, I guess you can say he got from his dad, huh?"
"Oh, Goku, of course not!" Goku just sighed.
18, Krillin, Piccolo, and 17 all joined the two in the back of the room with the rest of the other teachers. "Hey people." 17 said as he eyed the odd look Chichi was giving. "Watsup with her?"
"Don't ask." Goku recalled. 17 just shrugged. "If its one thing I hate its this stupid Back-To-School Speech we give every year."
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Where's Bulma?" Piccolo asked and Krillin said, "Since she's the vice-principal she has to give the speech since Broly isn't here."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot."
Once all the students were seated, everyone quickly quiet down as Bulma walked up the podium. She gave a warm smile and said, "How's everyone doing?" The students replied with lots of yelling and screaming and 18 covered her ears. "This is one thing I won't get use to..."
"You all might be wondering why we called a assembly on the first day of school, huh? Well, I'm sad to say that a fellow staff member has left. You all know the dean Mr. Scofield, right?" Bulma paused for a moment. "Well, he um...left unexpectedly and won't return for awhile. Therefore we have a new dean." She let it all sink in for the students. Videl leaned over to Gohan and whispered, "I heard he snapped over the summer."
"Yeah, I did too. Everyone thought that."
"So I want you all to give this dean the same respect you gave Mr. Scofield..."
"Can we talk about his last name?" Someone yelled from the crowd and the room roared with laughter. Even Bulma couldn't help but laugh. But it quickly died out. "No Mike, you can't. Anyway as I was saying...I want you all to give a warm welcome to-" Bulma opened up the envelope she was holding. She suddenly froze and turned awfully pale. Goku noticed this. "What's wrong with her?" Krillin asked confused as Bulma stood there shocked at what the paper read.
Whatever the name said made Bulma want to faint right then and there. Not him! ANYBODY BUT HIM! She thought. She looked up at the confused looks on some of the teens' faces and her throat suddenly became dry. "Like...I said please give a warm welcome to...Mr. V-Vegeta Ouji..." The words were hard to push out her throat and everyone quickly began cheering.
Out of the audience walked Vegeta. The man that walked out of her life five long years ago. The man that was once her husband but now her ex husband. She couldn't believe it. Vegeta smirked at Bulma and kept his eyes on her the entire time he walked to the stage. He wore navy jeans and a black T-shirt with a dark blue jacket above it. He walked with pride and stepped up onto the stage.
Bulma awkwardly stepped back as she let Vegeta make a quick speech. Goku, Chichi, Krillin, and Piccolo gasped as 18 and 17 looked confused.
"Is that him? Is that the guy you told me about earlier?" 18 asked and Krillin nodded.
"What guy?" 17 asked his twin sister.
"Bulma's ex husband that she hasn't seen in five years."
"Ouch." He said.
Vegeta's smirk deepened as he began talking. "I just like to say a few things. First, I am glad to say that I'm honored to be here right now in front of you all and that you all treat me with the same respect you give Miss Briefs." Vegeta eyed Bulma. "Second, I like to you to refer to me as Dean Vegeta. I don't mind if you call me Mr. Ouji or any crap like that. Just know one thing: I don't play around with children. Teenagers to be specific. If you screw around and end up coming to my office, I'll throw you out of here so fast it'll stop time, understand?" He said and everyone responded with, "YES SIR!"
"Good! Now get to class!"
With that, everyone scattered out of the room so they wouldn't be tardy for class. Bulma quickly walked off the stage and to the back of the room where her friends were. She just wanted to puke. Goku was the first to speak.
"I can't believe it! It was actually Vegeta! Boy, some irony! We were just talking about him earlier too!"
"I know! I know! What...I mean, how can he just show up like that?" Bulma said as she ran a hand through her blue hair.
"Where is Vegeta by the way?" Piccolo asked. As if on cue, Vegeta appeared out of nowhere. He had his arms crossed across his chest and glared at every last one of them. "I see the Geek Squad is all together again, eh?"
"Oh, shut up Vegeta! What do you want?" Bulma snapped.
"I work here now, woman. Since your the vice-principal and I'm the dean, I guess that sorta makes us...partners." He stated simply.
Bulma was about to open her mouth when her cell phone suddenly rung. Annoyed, she opened her phone and said, "WHAT?"
On the other line was an angry man who said, "Miss Briefs...its your son Trunks, he got into a fight today and you need to come pick him up immediately."
A/N: So how was that for the first chapter, huh? Pretty long, right? Well if you want to figure out what happens I advise you to read and then review! I want five reviews before I post the next chapter, I know. I mean. WELL, SEEYA!
