I DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OWN ANYTHING RELATING TO DBZ! I am but a simple writer, owning only my OC's...
Jamies POV
Everyone quieted down after the teacher raised her hand and spoke.
"Ok class, sit down so I can tell you all about this exciting news we've just received." Our teacher Mrs. Brown said in a monotonous voice. I put my head on my desk and listened to the announcements, but as I did I noticed Trunks and Goten two rows below us, shaking in their seats, looking as if it was the end of the world. "This year our class field trip will be a bit different. We have been invited by Bulma Briefs herself to come and visit Capsule Corporation for a lesson in the history of engineering as well as for a science lesson over physics. After this however, we will hop on a bus and head out to a survival camp area we had cleared out just for us, and we will stay there for two weeks. The reason for both back to back trips is that we could not rebook either event and the school requires two field trips per year. I will be handing out permission slips before the end of class, so make sure to fill them out and get them turned in before the end of next week." Kimi and I looked at each other, with the most overjoyed looks on our faces after the announcement. Kimi and I both have shared very similar interests ever since we were little kids, and two main points that we've come to love are martial arts and being outdoors; that and being away from the evil that plagues my house.
"Now if you will be so kind as to look up at the assignments I have written on the board, you'll see that we have a group project due in three weeks. After said projects are turned in, we will have a few days of relaxed class time and then you're off to ya'lls field trip fiasco. Until then however, you will be working your butts off on this project, for it is very long and a very essential part of your grade." she paused and looked up to see a very confused looked Lucy with her hand raised. "Yes Lucy?"
"Can we, like pick who we want to be in a group with?" she asked. Mrs. Brown shook her head and I hung my head in defeat. All I had now was the slim chance I would be paired with Kimi.
"No, I have already put everyone into pairs. Actually I have the list so I'll read them off to you." She then proceeded to pick up a clip board and started reading of names two at a time. "Lauren and Sam, Price and James, Lucy and Jack," at this Lucy's shoulders slumped and she looked disgusted, while her friends patted her on the back.
"Oh ya, I forgot that Trunks and Goten are both the prizes to be paired with." Kimi said with a grin.
"Ha, I bet whoever gets paired up with them will have a heart attack." As we continued to listen to names, we saw more high fives and heads hung until finally we heard our names.
"Jamie you will be with… ah yes, with Goten, and Kimiko with Trunks, Polly with Macy, and last but not least, Marcus with Bridget." All of a sudden I felt all eyes rush to me and my partner in weirdness. "All right then, if you will get with your partners, you may get in groups bigger than two if you wish, and come up with a topic." Kimi and I gulped and looked around for Trunks and Goten. They found us easily enough, considering we were the object of attention at the moment.
"So you two the ones we're working with?" Trunks asked in a semi bored voice as he swaggered over to our desks.
"Hit it on the nail mop top." From what I could tell Trunks turned a bit pink which caused Goten to start laughing.
"Ha, I like you. So which one of you is Jamie and which is Kimiko?" Kimi twitched her eyebrow a bit and spoke up.
"That's Jamie," she said pointing at me. I waved. "And I'm Kimiko, Kimi if you could manage it." Trunks had apparently recovered from his slight embarrassment and nodded his head.
"So do you two care if we do this together?" Kimi looked at me and we both shrugged.
"Sure. So do either of you have any idea what we are should do or are we all at a dead end?" Goten rubbed the back of his neck and put on a grin, which I thought suited him pretty well. Little did I know at the time that this was the famous Son grin.
"Well, we could do a project over the history of weird appearances or bizarre happenings over the years." Immediately after this came out of Goten's mouth though, Trunks threw an elbow straight into Goten's side, causing him to double over. "Jeez Trunks, a little less next time." The Son boy pleaded. I quirked an eyebrow at this, but Kimi had a look on her face that I knew very well; it was her 'I have an idea' face.
"That's a good idea Goten, and we could do a joint project. Two of us could cover the information and put it together into a paper and two of us could make some sort of representation of it, like a slide show with info or a model."
"Hey, that sounds awesome!" I said very happily. Even without being paired up with Kimi, I was still working with my brainiac best friend. Interestingly enough however, now both Trunks and Goten were sweat dropping with nervous smiles on their faces.
"Well, now that we've got that out of the way, why don't Kimi and I take the paper part and Jamie and Goten, you figure out the visual." Trunks offered. Goten and I nodded and Kimi moved over to talk with Trunks.
"So do you want to each go home and search up on some stuff and see what we come back with?" Goten looked like he was about to agree but then decided not to.
"No, I think we should start researching together, maybe at one of our houses or up at school." I nodded and didn't see anything wrong with it so I agreed. Randomly the bell rang sounding the release of the class and I quickly put my stuff together and called out to Goten, "So can we meet in the library after school?" Goten looked over his shoulder and grinned.
"Sure!" and with that he turned to walk out of the class room but didn't make it far before I watched Trunks grab him by the collar and drag him off down the hallway.
"Those two," I said as Kimi walked up to me, "Are a heck of a piece of work."
"Amen, my crazy friend."
