High School Life

Chpt Two: Ratted Out by a Pothead

To the right of Orange Star High was a green building with a two story gym containing a pool area, tennis court, volleyball court, weight training room and a big portion being just a basketball court. In that gym were two girls trying to rip the place apart to find a young man who was hiding like his life depended on it. "Where the hell is he?" Shouted Erasa who was looking behind the bleachers.

"He's in here somewhere, we saw him come in!" Videls voice was heard coming from the pool area. "Not there." She muttered coming back to the basketball court.

"He's not back- Oh my gosh!" The blonde screamed.

Videl jumped in surprise and quickly ran over to the bleachers. "Whats wrong?" She yelled, but there was no response.

Before she could get a panick, Erasa walked out from behind the bleachers with two teens following her trail. One was a short Caucasian boy with bright blue eyes and buzzed cutted dirty blonde hair. The other was a tall Hispanic boy with shaggy brown hair and hazel eyes. Looking over them, Videl noticed the two had their eyes a sickly red color.

"These two goons were back there smoking pot." The blonde girl said pointing at them accusedly, they just laughed in response. The taller boy moved passed Videl and laid down in the center of the court, moving his arms and legs back and fourth. Ok well looks like they were doing other drugs back there too.

"Seriously? What, you guys don't have anything better to do like go to class, get an education, graduate, or get your shit straight!" Videl questioned while a vain throbbed fiercely in her head.

"Nice to see you too Videl." Said the short teen, by the name of Marcus. Marcus, like Sharpner, liked Videl a lot. He also hung around the popular kids, with his dashing good looks he made himself available. Though he had some flaws like the fact he was the biggest pothead in Orange Star High history. That may be a bit exaggerated, but it was almost true.

"Yeah yeah. Who's your friend? I've never seen him before." Erasa asked winking at the boy in question.

"Oh my bad. Ladies that is Louis. L-O-U-I-S, but the S is silent." Marcus replied, having a little trouble with the spelling but managed.

Videl half smiled at him, she felt bad that this good looking guy was here in front of her tripping over his words. She knew he liked her and honestly in the beginning she was willing to give him a chance. That quickly changed when she found out what type of guy he was. He had all the qualities she looked for in a guy, he was smart, nice, funny, but being the party animal he was had been a major turn off for her. That all happened back in middle school though.

"Marcus, I still don't understand you. You're here unaware of what you're saying yet you still don't quit." She said placing a hand on his shoulder shaking him slightly.

Marcus looked at her and his smile widened. "I'd quit but only if you stayed by my side, Vi." Again he tried to turn the tables on her by making a deal that's gotten old. One time she got so mad that she hit him where it hurts, but he continued using her as an excuse to not quit.

"Marcus, this is getting old. You can quit without having me make you." Videl sighed as she place her hands on her hips. She'd have to argue about it some other time like when he was sober enough to fight back. She hated to win so easily.

"Sorry babe. You either take it or leave it, but I'll see you around." He said waving back at her. He grabbed Louis by his leg and dragged him away. While the tan boy had been on his back, starring up at the ceiling, he noticed his lab partner, Gohan, hanging on the basketball backboard.

"Hey Gohan. Whatcha doing way up there?" Louis shouted. Gohan waved his hands, signaling Louis to be quiet but he didn't understand. "Sorry bro, can't hear ya! I'm high as hell. Or heaven... Aah I don't even know. See ya later homie!" He yelled finally being pulled out through the exit.

Gohan groaned when he heard the girls squeal. "Thanks a lot Louis!"

Erasa and Videl ran over to the basketball hoop while the blonde shouted. "There he is!" The girls stopped directly under the net and desperately tried to reach for the boy.

Videl stopped for a moment and looked over to her friend. "Wow, even a dude stoned out of his mind found him before we could."

"Thank Kami for potheads! Now, how do you suppose we get Gohan down?" Erasa replied.

"I'm not too sure. Maybe we can get a stick and wack him till he falls down?" Videl asked looking around for a stick, broom or anything to throw at him. Gohan gripped the rail even harder, sweat dripping from his brow.

"Where's coach Henderson when you need him?" Gohan exclaimed as the girls below jumped, reaching for his feet.

"Your out of luck, Gohan. Henderson doesn't have a class for third hour." Videl shouted jumping high enough to grab his shoe. "Hah I've got your shoe!"

Erasa looked over at the girl, giving her friend a high-five and shouted. "Victory shall be ours! Now be a nice boy and come get your shoe!"

"Yeah, you look like a freaking monkey up there!" Videl yelled, waving the shoe in her hand and throwing it at Gohan who just caught it.

"I am a monkey!" He shouted back after putting his shoe on.

Videl shook in anger. "Damnit Gohan! You act like we're here to rape you just get down. We were just messing with you, so you can keep your shirt on."

Gohans grip loosened at her words. "Fine. Just as long as you both promise to not to take my shirt." The girls glance at eachother giving one another a look Gohan couldn't detect but they agreed making him sigh in relief. Detaching himself from the net, he hopped down.

Just before Gohan could look up, the two girls pounced on him. "Stop resisting!" They shouted in unison. Although Gohan was doing his best to not hurt the two girls, he also desperately wanted to get away. He scooted out of their reach when they heard a door opening. They all stopped in their tracks and shot their gazes towards the person who walked in.

"Really, this is where you went to hide?" Sharpners voice was heard coming from the entrance. He had both the flyers and ladder within his arms. "Come on ladies let's have a bit of decency here." He scolded while putting the ladder against the wall, still holding the flyers in his hands.

The blonde walked over to stand in front of the two girls who hung their head in shame. Videl was first to shoot her head up and point fingers. "This is all his fault!"

"Mine? You and Erasa were the ones hunting me like prey!" Gohan questioned.

Erasa got up from the floor, dusting herself off. "Yeah, but thanks to your resisting my dress is dirty! Do you know how hard it is to run in heels? No, you don't!" She shouted running her hands through her hair trying to fix it.

The three continued to bicker back and forth, but before any claws would draw Sharpner intervened. "That's enough! Look at yourselves, you're making a big deal out of nothing!"

"Fine. You got lucky this time Gohan!" They shrieked making Gohan wince.

"Now, can we get these posters up without trying to strip Gohan?" Sharpner asked, looking over his friends who all looked like a total mess.

Erasa was sweaty and her hair was standing up in every direction looking almost identical to Gohan's. Videl seemed like she was going insane, muttering things under her breath and Gohan looked like he was having a nervous break down. Scratch that, he was having a nervous breakdown.

"Gohan just take off the shirt. You all look horrible, it's the least you could do for all the trouble." Sharpner said rubbing his forehead in irritation.

Gohan got up from the floor and sighed in defeat. He reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head. The room went silent as Gohan held the white fabric in his hand. Erasa gawked at him but a smile spread across her face when she glanced at her best friend. The blonde girl believed her two dark haired friends would make an excellent couple, the way their personalities clashed would help both of them grow. To be honest Videl was way uptight and needed to relax and Gohan was a real momma's boy. He needed a little separation from momma.

Erasa had come up with a plan the night before to get the two together as well as her with Sharpner, who has her caught up in a triangle love affair. She liked him, he liked Videl and Videl could possibly like Gohan. As long as everything went according to plan, she could see her and her best friend having their double wedding. Getting married to the men they loved, their girlish childhood dreams come true.

While the blonde day dreamed, Videl stared intensely at Gohan, her eyes going over every bit of muscle. His abs were perfectly sculpted as well as his arms. Only a fierce training over his whole life time would he have had to achieve a body like that. He looked way stronger than any guy their age, but that made her angry. She knew he was Saiyaman, despite having no proof she had no doubt that he was him. Meaning he had lied to her from the start.

She was all too right, Gohan and Saiyaman were one and the same, but he's keeping that from her. Being half alien, Gohan couldn't be normal and never would be. His mom told him to do his best and fit in when she sent him off to school on his first day but he couldn't. Saiyans were nothing like humans, despite the resemblance, but no one could ever find out about that so he was keeping his new friends at a distance.

That wouldn't stop a certain raven hair girl from trying though. He looked into her eyes and his body twitched under her stare, he quickly looked away blushing. He had never felt like that before, a shock of electricity sparked within him every time he looked at her. Gohan was too naïve to realize he actually liked Videl.

Sharpner stared at the one thing that caught his attention, surrounded by many little scars, a large scar passed over Gohan's left peck leading to his abdomen. 'Woe, he must have gotten into a pretty bad mishap when he was younger.' He thought to himself. "Man dude you're ripped!" He exclaimed walking over to the shirtless teen, giving him a slap on the back.

"Damn Gohan! Tell me something, why in the hell do you not have a girl friend? Seriously even the toughest girl in town has gone speechless." Erasa said as she winked at him, making Gohan blush harder.

As the two blondes babbled on, Videl abruptly gets up and leaves the gym without looking back at her friends. The only one who had noticed this was Gohan. "Hold that thought. I'll see you two over in the cafeteria, alright?"

Erasa and Sharpner quickly shut their mouths at his seriousness. "Hey where did Videl go?" The taller blonde asked as he looked around for her.

Erasa looked at him as if he had two heads. "Did you fail to notice that she was the reason why Gohan left? He went after her because she just left!" 'Damn, if I don't get Videl off his mind he'll never be mine.' She though to herself.

"Well let's get to putting up these flyers then." Sharpner said walking over to the ladder.

At that moment an idea casted over her. "Sharpie, I'm sure you can handle this yourself. Normally I wouldn't just leave but I've got things to settle so I'll see you for lunch, bye." Before he could say anything she pecked his cheek and was out through the entrance.

Sharpner quickly shouted at her retreating form. "Erasa wait! You got to help me with these flyers! Rasa! And she's gone too." Sharpner held his cheek for a moment. 'Too bad Erasa doesn't like me. Hell, she'd probably give me a chance before Videl ever would. Nah, that won't happen because we're just friends. Damnit Videl, you make life hard.' Thought the blonde as he gathered up the equipment, setting out to put up the remaining flyers.


Outside the gym, Videl stood with her arms crossed over her chest. Her mind was processing what she just saw and she still couldn't believe it. Thousands of questions wandered around in her mind. She didn't know where to start when she'd face Gohan, but one thing was certain. She was beyond pissed at him, for lying and keeping secrets and still expecting to be friends.

He was the first guy she's ever took an interest in, who hadn't been starstruck after realizing she was the world saviors daughter. Even guys she'd known her whole life treated her different after her dad defeated cell.

Sharpner had been different, he wasn't blinded by the fame and saw past that. He and Videl bonded once she realized, he had no clue who her father was when he was just the champ. It wasnt long after that when Hercule defeated Cell and made a bigger hotshot of himself than he already was. Videl was dumbfounded when Sharpner had the nerve to question what might have happened at the Cell Games. Never again would she meet someone like that, so she befriended him before she would regret it.

"Videl, what's wrong?" Videl didn't have to turn around to know that was Gohan's voice. His presence angered her slightly, she couldn't even look at him in fear of saying something stupid.

Without looking back, she replied. "Everything's fine Gohan!"

Gohan jumped a little at her tone. "Well not to correct you or anything but it doesn't seem that way." A chilled breeze passed through the air, the once clear sky became grey.

"Ugh, Gohan!" Her voice boomed, quickly turning around she locked eyes with the half-breed. "How do you expect me to be friends with someone who's constantly lying and keeping secrets?" She questioned, her body was shaking with rage.

He looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" He never would understand the female mind. Saiyans and women don't mix he's learned that living with the most unlikely couple, staying with the Briefs family.

Videl held her two hands up against her head as she growled out. "You! You're always lying and it's pissing me off!"

"Videl just hear me out!" The young man tried to reason with her, but she stopped him.

The girls blue eyes bore into his. "Start with the truth!" She shouted in his face, making him annoyed.

"I'm telling the truth here! I'm not a liar!" He replied his tone was unusually deep and much louder. Gohan was having a battle within himself to not get angry, after all he was lying. What kind of idiot would he be if he got mad for lying, especially with somone he was sure he didn't want angry with him.

Videl backed away from him, slightly intimitated. "Don't you yell at me mister!" Her voice trembled, the cold must have been getting to her because Videl Satan never cries.

Gohan looked around in disbelief. "Gosh, you're just like my mother!" He failed to notice her tone, but had calmed down.

"Oh Yeah? Well, I guess that still beats being a boring nerd!" Videl said but covered her mouth in shock by her own words. "I didn't mean that, but come on Gohan! You're Saiyaman so just admit it!" She shouted.

Gohan looked at the girl, slapping a hand to his face in irritation. "Man, you just won't stop." He groaned, shrugging off her last comment. 'It's not my fault humans couldn't handle Saiyans so they'll just have to settle for a boring nerd.' He thought to himself.

"Whatever." Videl replied and looked away, desperately trying not to look in his eyes as she quickly tried to get past him.

He quickly stepped in front of her, holding his hands out in front of him. "Videl wait. Please, I promise I haven't lied nor will I ever to you. It's all just a big coincidence."

When she looked up at him, he sucked in his breath and the feeling was back. His palms were sweaty and his heart was beating rapidly. 'Maybe I'm getting sick.' Gohan checked his head for a fever. 'No, I'm fine.'

The raven haired girl locked eyes with the pleading boy and felt as if her heart was punishing her for staring at him for so long. She knew she hasn't been able to get him off her mind since he's shown up but could it possibly be, love. Did she really like Gohan like that and that's why she wanted to know everything about him? She's never felt like this with anyone, ever. Noticing they had been staring too long, Videl broke eye contact.

"Ok, I guess I just got so caught up in the idea that you were Saiyaman that I wasn't keeping my head straight." 'Or my heart from fluttering. Ugh, come on Videl. You can't do this to yourself! Your dad will never let you. Maybe thats why I wanted him to be Saiyaman. Maybe then he'd be strong enough to beat my old man. Damn, love sucks.' She thought.

"Just so you know. It wouldn't matter if you were because I never wouldn't have told anybody, ever." Videls smile widened when she saw how his eyes lit up. 'There goes the butterflies. Maybe I do like him?'

Gohan half smiled while rubbing a hand behind his head, nervously. "Well, that's good to know. So, are we ok now?" He questioned.

Videl looked uncertain, making Gohan frown but quickly replied "Yeah. I'm actually pretty hungry."

At that moment Gohans stomach growled in response, putting a smile on her face. She walked over to him and poked him in the belly.

"And of course you are too." She said laughing, he laughed too.

"Shall we get something to eat then?" He asked gesturing toward the cafeteria.

"Yes, we shall." With that said the two took off for the cafeteria.

A rustling of some bushes could be heard near where the two departed and Erasa could be seen popping out. "Awe, how cute. Sorry guys, but you need a little push in the right direction." She said brushing off leaves that stuck to her cardigan. At that moment Erasa was on her way to the cafeteria to set her plan in action.
