Chapter 1
The alarm began to blare and Bulma's eyes instantly shot open as she swatted the noisy piece of equipment next to her. She immediately sighed as she fell back onto her bed and closed her eyes to relax for a few more moments. She knew her mother would be knocking on the door within minutes; it was the same routine every day.
Within minutes of the thought crossing her mind she heard thudding against her wooden door and groaned, "I'm up mom," she yelled groggily hoping her mother would leave her alone. Before pulling herself up out of bed she reached to her nightstand and grabbed her blackberry from its charger, wondering if she had missed any texts from the night before; she grinned instantly as she saw the text message symbol displayed at the top, and as soon as she opened it she smiled.
"BULMA BRIEFS," her thoughts were instantly shattered as her mother began to pound on the door once more, "YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE AGAIN."
Bulma shook her head and cursed softly so her mother couldn't hear her; even though she was 17 her mother didn't like 'naughty words', so she did her best to keep them to herself. She threw the covers off of her and shivered a bit; the air conditioning was cranked up and doing its job. She ran into her attached bathroom and took a quick, hot shower before trying to figure out what to wear for the day. She settled on a tight black polo and a pair of jean shorts that fit her body perfectly; she smirked hoping she would get a glance from the man she had been secretly pursuing since the beginning of Senior year.
She slowly made her way down the steps and poured herself a bowl of cereal before heading into the living room and plopping down on the couch; she took her phone from her pocket and shot a text to her best friend and then realized what time it was. "Shit," she cursed quickly standing up and running into the kitchen; she slammed the bowl of unfinished cereal into the sink and ran out the front door.
"Vegeta wait," she yelled as she saw her neighbor getting into his black Ram.
"I thought you weren't coming today woman," he said shooting her a glare.
"Why wouldn't I be coming, when was the last time I missed a day and didn't text you," she practically yelled. She watched as a smirk crossed Vegeta's face and her blood began to boil, "You are such a prick sometimes you know that."
Vegeta let out a throaty chuckle as he watched Bulma climb into his passenger seat and slam the door behind her, "Easy on my truck," he shot as she clicked her seat belt on.
"Fuck off and drive," she shot back grabbing her phone and shooting another text to her best friend. Vegeta didn't respond this time, instead he let out a grunt and pulled out of the driveway, blaring the radio in the process to avoid any further communication with the irritating woman next to him.

As they pulled into the parking lot Bulma began to scan it for the rest of their friends cars, and she smiled as she saw them all still out by where they all parked. They all parted ways to let Vegeta pull in and headed to the back of Vegeta's truck.
Bulma threw the door open and hopped out quickly walking to the back to meet up with all of her friends and have their morning chat before being stuck inside a brick building all day. As she walked over to them all she let a smile cross her face.
"Hey guys," she said in a sing songy voice; this was one of her favorite parts of the day. "Chi, thanks for texting me back this morning," she quickly shot Chi-Chi a look and watched as she grinned.
"Sorry I was uh, busy," Chi-Chi smirked and Bulma quickly stuck her tongue out at her.
"It's ok," she laughed, "I don't need any details," the other girls laughed as Chi-Chi's cheeks turned a bright red; but Bulma's attention quickly changed to the blonde female heading across the parking lot towards their group. Chi-Chi, 18 and Kelly all turned to see what Bulma was looking at and they all cringed.
"She always has to come over here," 18 said already annoyed and turned her attention to Bulma, "Don't worry B if she starts shit I'll put her back in her place." Bulma giggled and nodded as she watched the blonde approach their area, completely ignoring the girls and heading straight to where the boys were standing.
"Hey Lexie," Goku greeted as the blonde vixen walked over, but there was no response as she continued on her trek finally stopping in front of Vegeta.
"Where were you last night," she asked with her hands both planted firmly on her hips.
Vegeta cocked his head to the side, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me, where were you last night," she asked again, this time with venom seeping from her words.
"I don't have to explain myself to you," he answered back before looking to Goku who shrugged at the display he was witnessing. Vegeta took another drag from the cigarette that he was trying to enjoy before heading into hell.
Lexie eyed him up and down before flipping him the bird, "Fine don't tell me I'll remember that when you are begging for a piece later," she turned and began to walk away but felt a hand wrap around her forearm and pull her back. Vegeta leaned in and said something inaudible but they all witnessed the color of Lexie's cheeks go from pale to bright red in a matter of seconds.
From the front of the truck Bulma began to feel sick; she hated Lexie and the fact that her best guy friend was dating her made it ten times worse; not only did she have to see them together at school, but she unfortunately had the 'luck' of having to see them even more together at home. She had been trying everything to make Vegeta see her then more than little Bulma from next door but he was always involved with floosies that through themselves all over the star football player.
"Come on B," Chi-Chi said grabbing her friends arm, "Let's go." Chi-Chi was the only person Bulma had confided in about her feelings for Vegeta and even though she didn't understand what Bulma saw in the arrogant son of a bitch she understood that Bulma was absolutely in love with him, even if she would never admit it.
Before Bulma turned away she locked eyes with Vegeta's dark orbs for a mere second and she knew he could see the hurt in her eyes; she knew he would want to know what her deal was when they were alone later and she was already dreading that conversation; she would have to think of some sort of lie, she wasn't about to tell him the truth and have him think she was insane.
As the girls walked away Vegeta slung his left arm around Lexies shoulders and took one final puff of the cigarette he had been smoking before chucking it onto the ground; Goku, Krillin, Yamcha and Tien all followed behind him mentally preparing for the day and counting down the time until they could be free.
As they walked into the doors Vegeta's arm fell from Lexie's shoulders and she leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek, whispering something in his ear and then heading off without another word to anyone else.
"Alright Vegeta, I'm going to go meet up with Missy before class, I'll catch you later," Goku waved to the rest of the guys and headed out to meet up with his most recent girlfriend.

Bulma sat in her history class and tried to pay attention but her mind was elsewhere. She sat in the back of the class room and messed with her phone trying to keep her mind off of Vegeta and his bitch of a girlfiend but as her mind wandered and she began daydreaming again her phone vibrated and made her jump almost ten feet in the air; causing the entire class to look at her, she just smiled hoping their attention would quickly shift so she could read her message..
As the class went back to watching the teacher she glanced down and opened her text and smiled as she read it.
Skip the rest of the day with me.
-Vegeta
Bulma thought about it for a minute and decided it was probably not a good idea, but her heart got the best of her and she quickly shot a text back.
Meet you at the truck after 3 period.
-Bulma
She knew in her mind that she shouldn't go with him; that she was expecting more from him then she would ever get. Vegeta only saw her as a friend; she was his best friend even though he would never admit it. They had grown up together, from the moment they were old enough to play together they did, they were rarely separated; until they got into high school.
All of the girls were interested in him, they all wanted to be with the star of the foot ball team; the star of really any team he ever played on, and he loved it. Before Bulma even realized it they had fallen away from each other, they weren't as close as they had always been and he never seemed to care, but they had became close once again, when Vegeta's mother passed away and he had no one else to turn to.
That was the end of sophomore year and that summer they rekindled their friendship and once again they began palling around; well until one of his many whores made an entrance and it usually pulled him away for awhile.

Bulma walked down the hallway and out one of the back gym doors; the prime escape route for anyone trying to skip out of school. She headed out to the parking spots and stopped when she saw Vegeta. She took a deep breath to calm herself before continuing her walk over to where he was seated on his tail gate.
"You know you should quit that," she smiled as he looked up, exhaling the smoke that was in his mouth; he smirked and held the cigarette out and watched as her small hand took it from his, watching as she inhaled and then let out a relaxing exhale.
"I could say the same to you," his smirk still evident on his chiseled face. "Come on let's get out of this hell hole." Bulma giggled and headed to the passenger door waiting for him to unlock it so she could get in, but the door didn't get unlocked and she cursed when she heard a woman's voice yell his name. Fucking Lexie, damn it, she thought as she watched the blonde approach. She couldn't make out what was being said but she heard Vegeta's voice begin to grow louder and then watched as Lexie began to cry; she was curious now and watched as Lexie slapped him across the face before turning and walking away.
She heard the locks unlock and quickly opened the door and jumping up into her seat, waiting for him to get in; wondering what had just happened. But when he entered the truck he didn't speak, he lit another smoke and sat in silence until Bulma broke it.
"What was that all about," she asked as she watched him, the frustration evident on his face.
"She's a whore that's what it's about," he said matter-of-factly.
"Is that why you want to skip," she asked continuing her gaze on his face; she waited for an answer that seemed to take him a few seconds to come up with.
"I don't fucking care about her; she was a good lay but if she wants to go fuck any scum that walks on this planet then fuck her," he said without turning to face her; "Let's go to my place and get some beers."
"I can't go to your place, my parents are right next door; they'll see the truck," she said quickly.
"Text them and say you are getting a ride home with the harpy because I went home sick," he said as he started the truck, he looked over and saw the scared look on her face and he chuckled. "Woman you are 17 years old and you are this scared of your parents?"
"No," she shot back, "They never get mad at me, I don't know why I'm worried," she sighed.
"So we're cool to go," he smirked and watched as she shook her head yes; as soon as he saw that he threw the truck in reverse and flew out of the school parking lot not giving anyone a chance to catch them.
