Chapter 2: Just a Few More Hours...
Videl landed one the schools roof a little more rough then usual and as her jet jerked to a stop she cringed. As the door opened with a hiss, the black haired girl, in her same sluggish pace, pulled her backpack onto her shoulder and made her way out toward the stairs that would lead her to that days torture. She almost didn't realized that Gohan was there. Leaning against the wall by the door, he was waiting for for her as usual, smile ever present on his face. It faltered however, as she reached him.
"Videl are you alright?" he questioned in a soft voice.
She was thankful for this as her ears were already ringing. "I'm fine Gohan." she replied, pulling a forced smile onto her face. "Let's just get to class, okay?"
"Alright." he said skeptically in the same soft tone.
He pulled the door open before gripping the strap to her bag, smoothly pulling it off of her shoulder and slung it over his. She wanted to let out a sigh of relief as the weight was lifted off of her already sore shoulders. He held open the door for her and as Videl stepped into the building her head already began to throb harder as the sounds of the loud hallways invaded her unusually sensitive ears. The raven haired girl clutched her head with a shaking hand. 'Some headache.' she thought to herself with a wince as the door to the roof closed roughly behind her.
"I'm sorry Videl," Gohan said from behind her. "I forgot it did that."
Videl just waved it off sending a small smile in his direction.
"Are you sure you're alright Videl?" Gohan asked pulling up beside her.
While she was happy that he was worried about her, it was becoming annoying because every time he asked her with that adorable worried expression she wanted more and more to tell him no and ask to go home. But her hardheadedness just wouldn't allow her to tell him.
"I told you I'm fine." she mumbled. "It's just a headache."
Videl was thankful as he seemed to drop the subject and walked beside her, and while quietly she could still feel his eyes when he would glance down at her. She couldn't help but grip the side of her head tighter as they made their way down the crowded hallway. Lockers slammed shut. Students yelled to others louder then Videl thought possible. Needless to say Videl thought her head would explode. The two stopped at their lockers which were conveniently right next to each other. The numbers on the dial blurred as she twisted it. She let out a frustrated growl and glared at the dial, pulling her vision together. After fumbling with the lock a bit more, she pulled the locker open. She turned to Gohan and he pulled her bag from his shoulder and hung it on one of the hooks before turning to his own. She grabbed the books she needed and as softly as she could, closed it. Gohan smiled down at her before taking the books from her hands.
'Thank Dende for Gohan.' she thought, returning his smile with one of her own.
"VIIIDEEEEELLLL! GOOOHHHAAANNN!" came a cry from down the hall that made Videl cringe at it's volume and Gohan stumble at its suddenness.
"Uh.. Hey Erasa." Gohan said turning toward the blond girl. "Sharpner."
"Nerd-boy." the other boy said with a smirk.
"Oh my kami Videl! You look terrible!" Erasa said. "You'll never guess what happened though. Someone said that the Gold Fighter was going to come to our school for a tournament your dad is planning! They said that he said he wanted to fight your dad and Gohan seeing as they are the first and second strongest fighters in the world! I bet he is soooo dreamy! I wish I could see him in real life just like you Videl." she said before turning to Gohan. "So you better watch out Mr. Second! The Gold Fighter is coming after you. And I don't see how you don't get jealous with him flying around with you girlfriend and all."
"Uhhhh..." was all Gohan could manage to get out his mouth before Erasa turned away from him back to Videl.
"Videl you don't look so good." she said.
"I'd be better if you would shut up." the black haired girl growled.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Videl wanted to snatch them back thinking they would hurt her friends feelings.
"Sorry Vi." Erasa chirped wrapping her arms around one of Sharpner's before pulling him off toward their first period class.
Or not. Videl sighed as she and Gohan made their way down the halls. She walked closer to him and as she got near enough, rested against him as they walked. Gohan looked down at her before wrapping an arm around her waist.
While quieter then the hallways, the volume of the classroom was no better, higher then what Videl desired. She found herself muttering angrily to herself as her thoughts moved to her fathers offer. "Should have stayed home. Comfy bed. Quiet."
She slumped into her seat next to Gohan's and let out a sigh as her muscles ached and she let out a low groan. She glanced over at Gohan knowing her heard her. He quirked an eyebrow but didn't call her out. She lowered her head to the desk, using her arms as a pillow, and let out another sigh, while allowing her eyes to slide shut.
It only seemed to be a few seconds when the door opened before slamming shut followed closely by the bell.
"Settle down class. Settle down. I know you're all excited about my lessons but you need not voice it. Miss Videl, if you would be so kind, please sit up"
Their first period teacher was infamous among the school. You didn't pull shit with him unless you wanted the highest degree of disciplinary action to befall upon you. His name was Mr. Kizaki but his name was considered taboo even among his coworkers so he was refereed to as sir. He was a tall lean older man but still had remains of what were thought of as fighters muscles. He wouldn't be seen in anything other then a suit and had wire framed glasses then hung on his crooked nose. His thick graying hair laid neatly on his head with a matching thick mustache. He always had a stern look to his face and his hard steal gray eyes never seemed to soften. The students had only found one weak spot when it came to this particular teacher. He was very strict when it came to manners, you had to be proper at all times around him. But today Videl didn't want to listen to the teacher. The desk in which she rested her head was to comfortable of the time. She refused.
"Miss. Videl." the teacher said more sternly this time.
Videl wanted nothing more then to ignore the calls of her name. She didn't want to lift her pounding head and instead pushed her head further into her arms.
"Miss. Videl!" the teacher yelled.
Videl let out a growl as she lifted her head from the desk grudgingly
"Thank you miss Videl." the teacher said with a sense of sarcastic pleasure. "Daughter of the hero or crime fighter.. non the less I don't care it is impolite not the pay attention. Now!" he turned away from her with a loud clap of his hands. "If you would all turn to page three hundred and ninety-four, we will begin today's lesson."
Throughout the rather uninformative lecture, Gohan would glance over at the object of his affections. Often times he would find her nodding off with her head in her hand.
"Mr. Son, it appears to me that you find your girlfriend far more interesting then what I am saying. I would appreciate it if you would pay attention." the teacher said sternly.
Gohan turned to face the teacher, thinking bitterly on how the man's lectures were rather pointless for him and was about to voice his opinion on the matter before an image of his mother flashed in his mind. "Yes Mr. Kizaki." he said in a low tone.
Almost immediately, the class was thrown into hushed whispers at Gohan's utterance of the evil man's name. The teacher gave a curt nod and began speaking again. Gohan went back to occasionally looking at Videl from the corner of his eyes. Her usually black silk hair looked dry and ratty atop her head in a messily made bun. Her skin while pale in general seemed to be ten shades lighter, something he thought impossible. She was as white as the shirt she was wearing. Her red blotchy cheeks and the sweat that that began the coat her face suggested a fever. He eyes while closed at the moment, he had gotten a glance at her once shinning icy blues. They were now dull, like the color of a raining sky and seemed sunken as dark rings of a purplish blue ringed them. Even her posture suggested something was terribly wrong with her. Her tensing muscles told him she was in pain and he also knew she would be to stubborn to admit this.
What seemed like hours for Videl passed, only to find that it had only been a few minutes. She let out a quiet groan as she looked ahead at her teacher who gave her a pointed look over his glasses. Videl slumped back down in her chair as he looked away. Then something happened that she had been praying wouldn't The watch she always had securely on her wrist buzzed as the police called for her help. The teacher let out an exasperated sigh as he was once again interrupted. He looked up to Videl expectantly. Videl growled before pulling off the beeping watch and tossed it to Gohan.
"Will you take care of it today?" she asked though Gohan knew it wasn't really a question.
"Sure Videl." he replied before pressing the button to allow the call. "Yes Chief?"
"Vid!- Wait, who is this?" came the voice of the burly chief.
"My name is Gohan sir. I'm taking over for Videl today." Gohan replied sheepishly as the class turned to look at him.
"Gohan? Gohan? Ah Gohan! As in Videl's boyfriend Gohan?"
"Yes sir."
"Alright then Gohan. There is a hostage situation at the Old Star Bank! We need your help!"
"On my way sir."
"Thank you Gohan." the chief said before the connection was cut.
Gohan began to get up from his seat and when he had gotten to his feet, the teacher seemed to regain his voice. "Mr. Son, second place winner of the world martial arts tournament or not, I cannot allow you to perform Miss. Satan's job." he said sternly.
"Sorry sir, but the Chief of Police already thinks I'm coming. It would be terribly rude of me not to go now."
Gohan heard Videl snicker quietly next to him and couldn't hind the smirk of his own as a little of it spread across his face.
The teacher sighed. "This is the only time I will allow this." He motioned to the door and Gohan grinned before swiftly leaving.
Videl looked up at the clock as the teacher began again. Gohan was gone now and while she knew it wouldn't take him to long, she couldn't help but feel a little saddened by his absence already. As the second hand ticked by at a slow place, Videl let her thoughts wonder.
'Just a few more hours...'
