Hellew! I'm back for the second chapter; sorry it took me a few days. I'd like to thank RKF22 and Akyra Tsuki for their reviews. I saw a few other people put my story on their alert list, so if you guys could review that would be really helpful :)

It was a warm and sunny day outside, so Tammy and I decided to eat our lunch outside for a change. We sat down at a bench which sat under a huge tree. As soon as we sat down, of course, Tammy started gossiping about the new guy. She always loved to have something new to gossip about; she had grown bored of everybody at our school.

"He is so cute; don't you think he's cute?" she started.

"Who is?" I humoured her.

"You know! The new guy." She smiled.

"Oh, him. What was his name again?" I asked.

I had actually forgotten his name. I felt kind of bad about that.

"Gohan. That's such a weird name, don't you think?" she answered.

"Yeah I guess so. But so is Amika. I haven't met anybody else with the same name as me." I said, taking a bite out of my sandwich.

"That's true. Where did your mum get your name from anyway?"

"I dunno. I'm pretty sure she made it up." I joked.

There were a few moments of silence. I could hear birds chirping in the tree above us.

"Did your dad have any say in what to name you?" Tammy asked.

"I've told you this, Tammy. I don't know anything about my father. I can't even remember what his name is. My mum told me he left before I was born."

I always wanted to know who my father was. I'd asked mum a million times over the years about him; like what his name was, what he looked like and why he left before I was born. Mum never replied with a straight answer though. Maybe it still hurt her to talk about him. Even if it did, I couldn't help but ask her over and over again. If I knew who my dad was, maybe it would explain why I'm so different. Maybe it'd explain why I nearly blew up my room so many years ago.

"Yes, it sucks having no dad doesn't it?" Tammy answered.

Tammy's father left when she was ten. But it still wasn't the same as my situation.

Suddenly, I felt a huge surge of energy approaching. The energy felt so strong it nearly gave me a headache. I put a hand to my head.

"You okay Amika?" Tammy asked when she saw my face.

"Yeah… I'm fine." I replied neutrally.

This kind of energy… it was overwhelming. It couldn't possibly be real. How could anybody around here possess so much power? If I could rate this kind of power I would give it a 500. Wanting to know who was holding this energy, I looked around the area a little. I spotted a group of seniors, but they weren't it. A few younger kids were playing tag, but they definitely weren't it.

Then I spotted him. The new guy, sitting on a bench a few metres away from us. He was just sitting there unmoving, with his eyes closed. What the hell was he doing? Meditating?

I knew the energy was coming from him. I could feel it pretty much radiating off his body.

"Gohan." I muttered to myself.

As soon as I said that, his eyes shot open and he was looking straight at me. I hastily looked away and faced Tammy again. He couldn't possibly have heard me. I was at least 10 metres away from him. There was definitely something different about this guy. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Hey Amika, it's Gohan over there!" Tammy exclaimed cheerfully, "We could get him to come sit with us. He looks lonely over there. Hey, Gohan!"

I looked around again and his head looked up at us.

"Wanna come sit with us?" Tammy called.

He nodded and put his thumbs up. He grabbed his bag and jogged to our bench with a smile on his face. He sat next to Tammy, which she found extremely exciting. She gave me a look that said, "Oh my god!"

Now that he was sitting so close to me, his energy felt even stronger. It was freaking amazing how much power he held. I was finding it hard to keep a straight face.

"So Gohan, made any new friends yet?" Tammy asked, resting her face on her hand.

"Um, no. Unless you guys count?" he wondered.

"Of course we count, silly. We invited you over here, didn't we?" Tammy replied.

Gohan smiled, "Oh yeah, I guess so."

"Amika and I were just talking about our dad's. Both of ours left us when we were young."

"Actually I wasn't even born yet when mine left." I corrected her.

"Oh right."

"Oh man… that sucks." Gohan replied.

"What about your dad? Do you know him?" I asked him.

"Well yeah, of course. He's great!" he said happily.

"Is he still together with your mum?" Tammy asked.

"Well... technically speaking, yes." He answered, struggling with what to say.

"What do you mean, 'technically speaking'?" I questioned.

"Well, they never separated or anything like that before."

"Before what?" Tammy said.

"Well before he died."

A silence followed what he had said. I felt kind of bad, asking him questions about his father, who was dead.

"Oh…" Tammy said.

"We're sorry, Gohan." I said.

"Oh no, don't be sorry. My dad died a hero." He smiled.

After he said that, I could tell he regretted it. I wondered why, but I let it pass.

"What was his name?" I asked, before Tammy could question him about the 'hero' thing.

"His name was Goku." He said, still smiling.

Another moment of silence.

"Goku?" Tammy asked in amazement, "As in, World Champion Goku?"

"Yeah, that's the one." Goku replied.

So, his father was a previous Martial Arts Champion. That may have explained some of his enormous energy. But I still wasn't convinced.

"That's pretty cool," I said, 'I wonder who's gonna win this year?"

"Mr Satan, obviously. He's won every year for like, ever." Tammy said.

I noticed from the corner of my eye that Gohan rolled his eyes at that statement. I didn't get mad at him though, because I personally thought Mr Satan was a fake. He was always going on about how awesome he is, and how he's going to kick everybody's butts and everything. I've always wanted to see how I'd go in a fight with him.

"Mr Satan isn't going to win forever you know. One day, somebody's gonna come along and show him how to really fight." I said.

"Amika, I've told you this before. There's no way you'd be able to beat Mr Satan in a fight. It's near impossible." Tammy pouted.

I rolled my eyes. Gohan seemed emotionless towards this conversation.

"What do you think Gohan?" Tammy said.

"What, huh?" he stumbled.

"What do you think of Mr Satan?" she asked.

"Oh… I guess he's okay." he replied.

I could just tell in his voice that he was lying.

"Okay? Just okay? He was the one who defeated cell seven years ago. He's more than okay." Tammy said.

"Tammy, I'm fairly sure he didn't. Cell was like an alien or something."

"Oh Amika, there's no such thing as aliens. It was probably just some guy dressed up in a costume."

I nearly laughed at Tammy's naivety.

I remember when the whole Cell thing was going on all those years ago. I was watching it on TV, and there were other people fighting Cell too. There were these guys with spiky hair, and a boy who was around eight years old. And I remember there being a green guy too, which was weird. I'd always reckoned that they were the ones who got rid of Cell.

I said this to Tammy and Gohan. Tammy just laughed and said I was being naïve. But Gohan didn't say anything.

Before I could say anything more, the bell sounded for the end of lunch.

"What do we have now?" Tammy asked.

"Physical Education. I hear we're playing baseball."

:) Please review! Let me know if there's anything I can improve on.
