Author's Note: Well, I've been reading a lot of DZ fanfiction lately and haven't found one that I think is quite perfect. So this is my take on Gohan in high school.


It was the first day of school and he was already late. It was bad enough that he had overslept this morning, but then he just had to go and decide to stop a bank robbery. He had to run at top speed to get to school. Gohan should have been there a lot earlier to pick up his medical form and schedule, and to fill out the last bit of paperwork for his admittance, but as fate had it, evil forces and his good nature compelling him to stop them got in the way.

He emerged from the main office, having received his required papers, and headed toward class. It was horrible, he felt, that his first impression was that of a tardy delinquent student: the one thing his mother always feared he would become. Hopefully with the coming day he could rectify this. But, as Gohan traversed through the halls of the high school looking for his class, the friendly face of a teacher came to his aide.

"Hello boy, I don't believe I've seen you around here before," the elderly man commented.

"Oh, right, I'm new here and I guess... I'm late for my first class," Gohan admitted sheepishly.

The teacher smiled and put a hand on Gohan's shoulder "You're lucky then that this is one of the smaller high schools in the area. My name is Mr.T and you're in my first class of the day. Come with me; I'll let your tardiness slide this time on account of the fact that you're new."

Gohan smiled, this may not be as bad as he thought. He followed the newly dubbed Mr.T through the school until they arrived at the designated room. The teacher turned to him, "Now, you wait out here for me to introduce you and come in when you're called."

Gohan nodded and Mr.T proceeded into the class room. As he waited outside, he realized that he could already hear the rambunctious class chattering. He sighed and shifted weight from foot to foot as he finally heard his teacher address the class. I wonder if they'll like me he thought when he suddenly realized he missed his cue. Gohan hesitantly entered the class room as the teacher explained to them his perfect entrance exam scores.

"Sit wherever you like, Gohan," Mr.T told him. Almost immediately after there was a daft blonde girl calling 'Yoo-hoo~!' and asking him to sit with her. He hesitantly accepted this offer as he heard whisperings of 'nerd' and 'bookworm'. Gohan found himself surprised at the scornful tone people used with these word, as he had never seen them as insults. It took him a few seconds before he found himself frozen.

Next to him was the girl from the bank robbery that he had escaped that very morning, and she didn't look particularly happy. Her glare was less a one of anger but one of suspicion. She was not as air-headed as her blonde friend and knew something was up. Said blonde friend then introduced herself as Erasa and the glaring obsidian haired vixen as Videl.

The blonde boy next to them took the liberty of introducing himself as Sharpner. While that was all fine and good, Erasa had to interjec, "Hey, Gohan, I bet you'll never guess who Videl's father is!" and before he even had a chance to reply, she provided that answer, "she's the daughter of the great Mr. Satan! She's a real superstar!"

"Oh wow, really. Didn't expect that." Gohan said, attempting to feign excitement. He was truly shocked that the man had a daughter though. After that, class settled in and the teacher began his lecture.


Author's Note: Yes I know that first chapter was not really much different than the anime, but I'm just getting settled into the writing style. Thanks!
