Author's note. I apologize for taking so long. I have been distracted by some of the stories other people wrote. I am a great fan of Twilight and the new movie Eclipse also caught my attention. I have not seen Eclipse on the big screen. I have only seen the DVD. That is why I have not written for so long. However, I am back now.
Chapter 3. Gohan's first day at school.
Gohan and 18 made an arrangement of where to meet and when to train. Every day they would go out for a few hours to meet each other at a specific place. Gohan greatly enjoyed 18's company.
As happy as he was, Gohan had something else to worry about now. He realy couldn't see why it was necessary, but now he had to go to school. It was his first day at Orange Star High School. Gohan was a little nervous as he got a map of the school and a schedule. He could hear the students gossip about his arrival. Looking at his timetable, Gohan saw that his first class was algebra. He found the classroom pretty easily. Inside he could hear the teacher's voice. "All right class, we have a new student today. Gohan, you may come in."
When he walked into the classroom, all heads turned to him. Feeling a little self conscious, Gohan chose a seat at the back of the class beside a dark haired girl. "Hey you." "What's your name?" the girl asked him. Gohan frowned slightly at her rudeness but answered. "Gohan." "Hey, Videl, don't be mean to him, he is a total cuty." The voice came from a blonde girl sitting in front of them. Gohan blushed a little at this statement.
"So, you're new here? "Yea." "Hi, I'm Eresa. This is Videl and Sharpener." "Um, that's good. Great to meet you guys." All three of them stared at him with wide eyes. "What?" asked Gohan. "Gees, man, don't you know who Videl's father is? She is the daughter of the world champion, Hercule Satan. You know, the guy who defeated Cell." Oh. Hercule, thought Gohan. "Now where have I heard that name before?"
Suddenly it clicked. "Wait, now I remember! So, Videl is his daughter. Well, that's interesting." After algebra it was history, where Gohan fell asleep. Honestly, how long can someone go on babbling about something you have already learned? The hours dragged on. Gohan was eager to get back to his training. Gohan did not know why he seemed so impatient to get home. For some unknown reason the day just seemed too long. The next lesson was Language Arts which he found just as boring. Then it was science. They were to work in groups. He was in a group with Videl, Eresa and Sharpener. Among all the other classes Gohan found this one the most exciting. Other than fighting it was very interesting to watch and do all the experiments. Not wanting anything to distract him from his training once school was over, Gohan quickly finished his homework during lunch break. Then it was the gym class. Gohan brought his fovourite gi with him, the one that Piccolo gave him. For a moment he wondered if he should pretend, but then he changed his mind. He was not going to show off in there but neither was he planning on hiding his strength.
When he came out of the change rooms, Gohan received many stares. The girls, including Erasa, were staring at him with their hearts in their eyes while the men were glaring at him. Even the teacher could not help but gawk. Gohan ignored the many stares.
"All right class, we are going to start with a warm-up of 20 pushups and then 20 sit-ups. Then we will be divided into groups. All those whom know the martial arts, come and stand here. Those who do not know it will be helped by Videl."
Gohan snorted and rolled his eyes when he heard groans and moans about the amount of exercise. He decided to quickly finish the exercise.
The teacher then paired them up with partners. Gohan found himself paired up with Vidal. "Hey Gohan, are you ready?" She got into a fighting stance. Gohan just rolled his eyes and yawned. That did it. No one rolled their eyes at Videl. She sent a heavy punch at him. Gohan yawned again and blocked it with his finger. "What! Allow me to show you how its done." Gohan punched in the air, stopping inches away from her face. The force of the punch threw Vidal off balance and she fell onto the ground. The whole class was shocked. He defeated Videl.
The rest of the day whispers were heard about what had happened in the gym class. Gohan ignored the gossiping and whispers until the end of the day. On his way home Gohan thought about his day. School wasn't so bad after all.
On his way home, Gohan's mind wandered. In class he had heard some of the kids spoke about the upcoming World Martial Arts tournament that was held each year. It seems that all these years training had paid off after all. "Mayby mom would let me enter." Back at the house Gohan asked his mother if he could enter. Chi-chi were at first hesitant to let him go and It took a lot of persuasion. In the end when Gohan told her about the prize money she had agreed.
