Chapter 1: Be Optimistic

The rain was coming down in sheets; buckets even, soaking absolutely everything. Effectively evading the torrent with a ki barrier, Gohan flew through the sky towards Orange Star High school. Kids were rushing like maniacs from the parking lot to the building and out of the miserable rain.

Gohan landed on the roof, and it was only then that he got wet. He stood there in the rain for a few seconds before going down the stairs so no one would wonder why he wasn't at least a little bit wet.

The hallways were crowded as usual, and the annoying sound of wet shoes reverberated down the halls. For once, he was finally early enough that he didn't have to run around, only to slip into class, barely on time. Gohan quickly switched folders and books to what he needed for first period and then shut his locker.

Gohan was almost to his homeroom when he spotted his friends.

"Hey, what's up cutie?" Erasa asked in her normal bubbly and cheerful way.

"Ugh! Erasa, how can you stand to sound so happy? It's absolutely awful outside." Videl demanded.

"It's only rain. It's good, it can help the plants grow!"

"We're in a city Erasa. There really aren't that many plants that need watering. Besides, that's what sprinklers are for."

"I like the rain actually." Gohan suddenly said.

"Chhh, only you Gohan, only you." Videl commented.

"Awe, come on! Don't think of it as something horrible, think of it as a free shower! Or better yet, it's just liquid sunshine!" Gohan said, trying to cheer her up.

"Whatever. You are waaay to optimistic Gohan."

"It's water." Sharpener butted in. "From the sky. Who even cares! I'm sure the rain doesn't give a crap if you hate it!"

"Ok. That was weird Sharpener." Videl said. "I'm pretty sure that rain is not a sentient being, so, yeah, there goes your theory."

"Oh! Come on guys, we've gotta get to homeroom!" Erasa yelled.

"Since when do you care?

"Since I already have two tardys, and the next one will land me in detention Videl! Now hurry up guys!"

"Gohan's late all the time, and HE never gets detention!"

"That's because Gohan is a genius, and Mrs. Jolie likes him since he actually understands her Calculus class!"

GYM

Students began to trickle into the gym after they finished changing.

"Ok everyone" the gym teacher shouted. "This is Miss Christie." The school will be ordering uniforms because too many people have had injuries from wearing improper attire for gym class, and Miss Christie here is from the company we're ordering from. Since this is short notice, she will be taking each of you two at a time and measuring you, so the uniforms fit right, and hopefully help us keep down the injuries."

"How are uniforms supposed to keep us from getting hurt? Sharpener yelled.

"Well, many of you have been wearing pants with buttons, or pants or shorts and shirts that are just too large, and it HAS caused injuries in the past like tripping on your pants, or shorts falling down in mid-run, or your shirt sleeves getting in the way. The uniforms will be on the tighter side, and won't have any buttons or zippers that could hurt you if you fall."

Crap! Gohan thought. I was trying to keep everyone from finding out I'm not weak by wearing baggy clothes. If these uniforms are tight, then everyone will find out. I hope I can tell that Miss Christie lady I just need and x-large.

The first two students alphabetically went over while everyone else just talked, on account of the teacher had given them a free day.

Gah! She had that guy take his shirt off to measure! They sure are being picky about this. It must be because the guys are the ones wearing the loose stuff. Inever heard of any other schools doing this though.Oh, man! I can't take my shirt off in here! I thought the uniforms would be bad, but this!

"Whoa! Gohan! You look like somebody died!" Sharpener said.

"Huh?" He said, breaking from his thoughts.

"What are you scared everyone will see how scrawny you are? Ha, I'm gonna laugh my head off when you go up! Now if you'll excuse me, it's my turn." Sharpener said, quickly pulling his shirt off and strutting to the corner of the gym to get measured.

After wallowing in his misery for a while, he was finally called over near the end of the period.

"SATAN, SON"

VIDEL! I have to take my shirt off in front of Videl! Ugh, this is just going to make her even more determined to find out my secrets than before. My life sucks.

Miss Christie quickly took care of Videl, since they apparently weren't worried about the girl's uniforms as much, and then went on to Gohan.

"Alright Mr. Son, I need you to take your shirt off so I can get these measurements. It looks like you are one of those people who are responsible for the uniforms." She said, noticing Gohan's large fitting clothes.

"Um, do I have to? I really don't want to do this in front of everyone."

"Yes, all the guys have to do this."

"Can't we go out in the hall or something?"

"NO! Just take your shirt off already! It's not that big of a deal!"

"Yeah Gohan, we already know you're a weak little nerd, so just do it!" Videl said.

"Now Gohan." Miss Christie said very impatiently.

Videl is so gonna kill me.

Gohan slowly pulled his arms inside his shirt, and then quickly shoved up and removed his shirt.

"AHH! What on earth Gohan!" Videl screamed, drawing the attention of the ENTIRE class.

So how's that for a start? I hope you liked it!

I got the liquid sunshine/free shower thing from band. We always said that when we had to march in the rain.

Please review, and I will try and get the next chapter out as soon as I can!

Toodlez and noodlez!
