Author's note: A nice little Gohan and Videl romance story. I hope its a little different then from most of the other Gohan/Videl stories. It will be in Gohan's POV most of the time. Gohan is 17 and Videl is 16 going to be 17 soon. They are both juniors. Thank you very much and now for the story.
Chapter 1.
"Videl wait up!" I didnt bother closing the door behind me. I needed to catch up to Videl as fast as i could.
"What the hell Gohan!" She stopped and turned around. I've never seen her so mad in my life. "You just disappeared out of nowhere. I liked you Gohan, I liked you alot. But one day I woke up and you were just gone. You didnt show up to school for weeks. I had no idea where you were or what in the hell was going on. I stopped by your house hoping I would find you there but you weren't. And what made it worse was that your mom couldn't tell me where you were or what was going on. Its been a month since I saw you or even heard anything about you. S why don't you finally tell me whats been going on."
The only thing I could do was stare at her. She was on the verge of tears after her outburst. I knew my decision would probably hit her hard but I had no other choice. It was either tell her everything and pray to Kami that she believes me and wouldn't force me out of her life for good or just take the easy way out and remove myself from her life without forcing my life onto hers as well. I took the easy way out and now I was starting to really regret it.
"Videl." My voice was barely a whisper. I didn't know what to say. Her eyes just continued to pierce through mine. This wasn't looking too good. "You know what Gohan just forget it. If you have nothing to say then I'm gone. Goodbye." She turned back around and started to march off. This was my only chance to fix things. I had to come clean.
"You want to know the truth Videl? Fine i'll tell you the truth." I shouted. She stopped in her tracks and faced me once more. I just stared into those beautiful blue eyes of hers. It was time to tell her.
"Son Gohan! Please take a seat and make yourself comfortable." I nodded and closed the door behind. Today was my first day of school and for whatever reason the principle wanted to have a word with me before school began. Once I took my seat across from his desk he continued on. "Im sorry for requesting you to meet with me before your first day of school but I just couldn't resist. Theres never been another student who got a 100 on all of his or hers entrance exams. It's remarkable and I just wanted to tell you I'm honored to have you here at Orange Star High!"
I didn't see what the big deal was those entrance exams were a piece of cake. Might as well go along with it though. "It was nothing. And thank you I'm glad to be part of the school principal..." I never caught the principal's name.
He noticed his mistake as well. "Oops how wrong of me. After all my excitement I forgot to formally introduce myself. Its Principle Troy. Anyways you best be off homeroom should be starting soon. I expect big things from you son and I cant wait to see what you can do for our school." He extended his hand. I gave it a firm shake. "I'll try my best. Bye Principal Troy." I got up from my seat and left his office.
That was nice of the principle to take his time to make me feel welcomed here. So far a good start to my first day of school. Though school really hasn't started yet so who knows what could still happen.
As I made my way through the school hallways I looked down at my class schedule. I had homeroom in room 232 with .
I finally find myself walking into the classroom with some minutes to spare before the bell rang. I saw an older looking man sitting at a desk in the front of the class reading a newspaper and assumed that must be Mr. jones. I decided it would be smart of me to go over and introduce myself to him.
"Excuse me Mr jones, I hate to interrupt but I just wanted to introduce myself to you. I'm Son Gohan and I'm new this year." He put down his newspaper and gave me joyful smile. "Ah so your Mr. Son. I've heard a lot about you from Principal Troy. As you already said I'm Mr. Jones and I'll be your homeroom teacher and History teacher. No one really does anything in homeroom it's more of just a study hall type of period. Just don't get carried away and you can do what you want. You still have a couple of minutes before the bell rings so find a seat anywhere and just relax before your real classes begin. If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to help you out. Now go on and enjoy yourself."
"Thank you Mr. Jones." I gave him a small nod and made my way to the rows of desks. Most of the seats were filled but it seemed like some students were still missing. Everyone who was already here seemed to be doing their own things and socializing with each other. I didn't want to intrude on anyone so I find an open seat in the back by a window and sat down.
When the bell rang all the seats were filled and everyone was talking amongst each other. A boy with black hair was sitting next to me but I didn't care much. He was talking to the girl to the other side of him. I just happily stated out the window waiting for time to pass.
The bell finally rang so I made my way to first period. It was math and I was really good with numbers so I thought to myself that having math would be an easy start to the day. I got there and nothing much happened. The teacher gave us all our textbooks and a simple worksheet with about 20 problems and had us do it for the whole period. Whatever we didn't get done was for homework but it only took me about 10 minutes to finish it that took care of that.
After math I had English then science. Just the usual here's your textbook and this is what were gonna learn this year speech were given then we were free to talk to ourselves. I actually talked to a couple of kids during those two classes but just a few words here and a few words there.
For fourth period I had art. Why was I even taking art? I had no idea but it seemed like an easy class so I wasn't going to complain. Finally fifth period came around and it was time to eat. The school gave the students the option of eating their lunch in the cafeteria or outside on the yard where they hade some tables and benches placed. When I got to the cafeteria it seemed pretty packed so I decided to settle for eating outside. It was more relaxing to eat outside anyways.
I sat down under a tree because it offered some nice shade and decided to start on my lunch. I didn't have my mom pack a lot of food because I didn't want to seem like a total freak or weirdo so I had her pack a little and I would just eat more when I got home. I had 2 apples, 3 sandwiches, and some chocolate pudding. I loved me some good pudding.
After I finished off my food I decided to walk around the school and explore it for a little bit. I didn't find anything fascinating or exciting but the school seemed really nice and well kept after I got a closer look at it. That was good I guess.
The bell rang again and I was on my way to study hall. Even though this was my first time ever going to school I knew what study hall was like. You just sat there and could do anything you wanted basically. The teacher told us starting tomorrow we would have the option of spending the period in the class or at the library. The only catch was that once you get to a room that's were you would have to stay for the whole period. Nothing I didn't see unfair with.
The period past fast and now it was time for seventh period which was also the last period. I had history with Mr. Jones. I've always like the topic of history and Mr. Jones seemed like a pretty cool man so I figured this class should be good. I got there and took a seat in the back like every other class. There were no assign seats so you could sit wherever you liked.
Once all the students made it into the room and filled up all the seats Mr. Jones started to speak. "Okay listen up everyone. My name is Mr. Jones and I will be your history teacher but all of you already know that."
"You all will learn the basic history of the earth with all of its famous events, famous people, and what not. But I'm also going to teach all of your youngsters some things that will blow your mind. Some things you've never heard of before or just think are too far fetched to be real." He stifled up a little cough while adjusting his glasses. "Just open up your minds and be prepared to learn something new this year and I guarantee this will be a class you'll never forget. Now since it's the first day back I don't want to ruin it for all of you by starting a lesson so I'll continue where I left off tomorrow and give out books then too. You can all just relax and socialize with another."
With that he sat back down in his seat and started to go through some papers. He really made this class sound pretty intriguing to me. I couldn't wait to see what he would be teaching us.
Thoughts of what we could be learning this year started to enter my mind and next thing I knew I drifted off for the rest of the period. The sound of the bell was what woke me from my thoughts.
I left the classroom and was on my way out the front doors of the school. I decided I would just walk a little till I find an alleyway somewhere or just any area where no one was at and that's where I would take off to go home. After walking for a few minutes I find an empty parking lot behind a donut store and took off from there.
After flying for a good half an hour I finally landed down by my front door. It was good to finally be home. I opened up the door and made my presence known. "Mom I'm h..." Belfry I could even finish I was tackled to the ground. "Gohan, Gohan your finally home! I've been waiting all day for you!" Goten was jumping up and down on my stomach full of excitement. He sure wasn't shy to show his emotions like that.
"Yes Goten It's great to see you too. Can you please get off of me?" He nodded excitedly and jump right off my stomach and even reached out a hand to help me up. "Thanks Goten. I have an idea Goten. Let me go say hi to mom real quick then we'll go outside and play for a little. How does that sound?"
"Yay! Hurry up Gohan I'll be waiting for you!" The next thing I knew Goten ran right by me and out the front door. Man that kid was a ball of energy. I made my way to the kitchen and spotted my mom sitting at the table with a cup of tea and a book. She have me a warm smile and put the book down." Gohan your back already. Sit down and tell me how your first day of school was."
I took the seat across from her and started to tell her. "It was good mom. Everyone seems real nice and the material seems easy enough. School might actually turn out to be fun."
She smiled at me. "That's good to hear Gohan. I knew sending you to school would be a good idea. All you do is train and hangout with Piccolo and Vegeta anymore. It was time for you to go out and make some new friends."
I let out a little chuckle following that comment. I didn't mind the friends I had now but whatever she wanted I was more than happy to do. "Yes mom I know."
Her smile then started to fade a little. "Oh how I just wish your father was here to see you all grown up. He would be proud to see the man you've become over the last seven years."
I just gave my mom a hug to help comfort her. "I know me too mom. Were a tough family. We've been through a lot and passed every challenge that came in our way. I know dads watching us and is proud of how strong we've been. So cheer up." She's got out of the hug and gave me a smile.
"Your just like your father Gohan. Now why don't you go outside and play with Goten and I'll start dinner. I'll call for you when the foods done." She got up and went over to start up the stove.
"Sounds like a plan mom." With that I got up as headed for the door. I knew my dad was proud of us and I wasn't going to start letting him down. Whatever I did and would do I would make sure I did it for my dad. Live the life I knew he wanted me to have when he made the sacrifice that took his life.
Not much but its a start. Im going to put a chapter out once every week or 10 days or so. Excuse my grammar if i messed up anywhere. Next chapter enters Videl.
