Chapter Four
Thank you Vegeta, you know you can be a sweetheart when you try; I do appreciate what you did. Thank you. Vegeta smirked as he sat down his phone. Yeah that did it. He continued to brush his teeth and slip on his shoes as he looked at the time. Almost time to go. At least now he wasn't mad at him. It literally took him forever to get Lyonnia to call her and apologize. She almost was not going to until Vegeta told her he would break up with her. The things she crumbles and does when he threatens that. Lyonnia was easy to break when no one was around.
Grabbing his wallet and keys he went downstairs to the kitchen. He poured a bowl of CoCo Puffs and some milk. He watched out the window waiting for Goku who had just pulled up. He waved out the window signaling to come inside. Goku walked in and leaned over the counter, he chuckled as he held up the cereal box, "Really Vegeta? I thought we grew out of these when we were like ten?"
"Ha, don't insult the puffs, I love this cereal. And don't even get me started on your growing collection of Star Wars and G.I. Joe Action figures you still keep in a special display case you hide in your dad's study," Vegeta glared at Goku.
He was flushed, "Good point. So you ready for today's practice? Our first game is this weekend."
"Yeah it is whatever-"
"No it isn't this is our year Vegeta, we are on the varsity team this year; on top of that is is our time to shine. Scouts are going to be looking at the Seniors and we have to be on top of our game for them to want to come back."
"Yeah I know, but everything will be fine. Our school has always had a good football team and with me as the new starting quarterback; You has my left tackle, Krillen as the Wide Receiver we are definitely going to overpower the field this year."
"I am still amazed we are starters though, I know Tommy is pissed off you took his spot-"
"Yeah but what about Ryan and Donny, their positions were taken and they only have themselves to blame. They were slacking all summer, and coach saw us. We are going to rape this year. I am confident."
Goku chuckled, "I know that is right!"
Vegeta finished drinking his milk, clearing his throat he looked around making sure he didn't forget anything, "You ready to head out?"
"Yea," Goku and Vegeta walked outside and to the car. Once they got into the car Goku looked over at Bulma's house and then back to Vegeta, "Hey man, I didn't want to talk about this in there, wasn't sure if your parents around but Chi told me about this weekend with Bulma and Lyonnia."
Vegeta frowned. He saw Bulma walking outside, she smiled and waved as she got into Juu's car and drove off. "I knew that was coming-"
"Yeah and I can't believe you. Why did you even take Bulma with you to pick up Lyonnia if you knew how wasted she was. You of all people know how she gets."
Vegeta shrugged his shoulders "I know, I just didn't want to take double trips; and her dipshit brother rode with us too, I thought he could keep her under control, but I was apparently wrong."
"Yamacha was there too and you both let her beat Bulma up like that-"
"Don't. We were at their house and the second he and I stepped out of the car, she was wailing and screaming. We reacted as fast as we could."
Goku shook his head, "Sometimes I don't know who is more of a dumbass between the two of you, Bulma of all people you let that happen to-"
"I got Lyo to apologize."
"Wait, last I heard nothing was said for. How did you get that to happen?"
"I went over there last night and I talked to her. So you can just drop it."
"Just watch it Vegeta, I love you man, but this is Bulma we are talking about-"
"Don't you think I get that?" Goku noticed the frustration in Vegeta's voice and his features calmed down, he heard Vegeta sigh heavily, "Look I hate that it happened. The woman and I were having dinner, I left the party early to pick her up from work, we went to dinner. Lyo called and we were already right down the road. I hate wasting gas, I literally did not expect anything, at least not like that to happen." Vgetea scratched the back of his neck.
"I believe you. I know she is your best friend, hell you two have known each other for a long time; but just remember, she is like a little sister to me. I worry about her, and I will be damned if someone like Lyo brings her down." They pulled into the school parking lot and found a spot. They noticed ChiChi waiting by the front quad. "I am glad you had her apologize though."
They got quiet as they approached ChiChi, she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, "Hi there sweetheart."
"Hey." Goku wrapped his arms around her waist. "Where is everyone?"
"Well I know Juu picked up Bulma-"
"Yeah we saw them leave when we left Vegeta's house."
"As far as everyone else," ChiChi shrugged. "Not sure, but I do know Bulma probably is going to avoid getting here until she can get away from you."
Vegeta rolled her eyes as he heard the venom in her voice, "You know, maybe I should sick Lyonnia on you for once, maybe then you can stop running your mouth all the fucking time-"
"Hey, both of you stop it, Bulma forgave Vegeta, it is done and over with, so stop. Both of you," Goku frowned as ChiChi rolled her eyes. Her mood quickly shifted when she waved towards Juu, Bulma and Yamacha walking towards them.
"Hye Chi," Juu leaned against the brick wall. She turned around and saw Krillen walking faster and faster as Marron and Launch attempted to involve him into the conversation they were having. Juu chuckled as she noticed the reaction on his face, definitely said annoyed all over it. He quickly rushed to her side, "Hey Krillen. You want to go to my locker with me?"
"Yes please," He grinned, thankful to get away from the two banshee blabbing women as he refereed to them as.
"Wait Krillen, I wasn't done, I wanted to see what you were doing this weekend?"
"Um, actually me and Juu were in the middle of a conversation; we have a project due next week and she and I will be busy." Krillen looked at Juu who was flushed in the face. She smiled at ChiChi and Bulma, waving she followed Krillen into the school.
"Whatever," Marron pouted. She looked at Launch who was signaling to leave the little group towards the other pack of boys. She nodded and followed.
Everyone looked at each other wide eyed, not entirely sure as to what just went on in a blink of an eye, but they nervously chuckled. Goku turned to Yamacha, "Hey man, what are you doing this Saturday?"
Bulma starred at both ChiChi and Goku, ChiChi grinning from ear to ear winked at Bulma. "Yeah me and Chi might not be doing anything, wanted to see if you might be up to a little basketball or something if nothing gets planned."
She sighed with relief, he glanced at her questionably and turned back to Goku with a smile, "Absolutely, just let me know when."
"So what is everyone talking about?" Lyonnia walked up behind Vegeta and placed her arms around his waist and placed her chin on his shoulder.
"Nothing really-"
"Mhm, I can't believe it is already Monday. The only thing that is exciting about this is our cheer practice. We have our first game this Friday!" Lyonnia grinned.
"Yeah we have a whole new routine and I think we will rock the game, we have some amazing football players this year, just saying," ChiChi giggled and kissed Goku. "Hey that reminds me, Bulma do you work today? I needed some help with a project, wanted to see if I could come to your house after practice?"
Bulma shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah sure. Just text me when you are on your way. I know my parents wanted to talk to me about some stuff but as long as it is after five I don't see why not. I will be studying for a test anyways that I have Thursday."
"Oh are they finally getting you a car?" ChiChi grinned.
"No sure, but I am hoping for one here soon."
"Ugh, can we please talk about something or someone else already? It is Monday, it is too earlier in the morning to discuss school and tests, and you," Lyonnia sent a glare towards Bulma.
She curled her nose and rolled her eyes, Yamacha shook his head, "Leave it alone Lyo-"
"No Yamacha, I already apologized for you, but I hate to break this to you this is a new day and all little miss bookworm can is talk about school-"
Bulma starred at Vegeta, wide eyed then back to Yamacha then back towards him. His face turned into a frown when he saw the hurt in her face. He didn't know what pissed him off more, the fact that Bulma didn't believe he was responsible for Lyonnia saying sorry or the fact that this dipshit just took credit for something his sister blurted out to get a rise out of Bulma. He shook his head, Bulma's eyes started to water slightly. She wasn't weak, he saw her sighm clearing her throat she adjusted her glasses. Something he knew she did when she was nervous. "Yeah, I think I am going to go ahead and head to homeroom. I will talk to you later Chi."
"Wait up Bulma-" Yamacha grinned at the group and waved after Bulma.
ChiChi frowned as she watched her friend walk away and she turned to Lyonnia, "What the hell is your problem?"
"What?"
"You and your fucking attitude is what, you have literally been getting on my nerves this past week and it is only the start of the school year-" ChiChi approached Lyonnia, poking her in the collarbone. "I do not understand why you have to be so rude."
"Whatever Chi-"
"No I am sick and tired of you; adjust your act before I fix it for you," ChiChi grabbed Goku and they turned to walk away.
Lyonnia looked at Vegete and shrugged, "I don't know what the hell was their problem-"
"Whatever," Vegeta walked away without another word. He couldn't look at her.
"What did I do? I think everyone is seriously on their periods or something, what a bunch of assholes," Lyonnia rolled her eyes.
ChiChi stood at her looker, slamming the door closed she looked at Goku, "I cannot believe her. Ugh, she just, I don't know she just gets on my nerves. The way she treats Bulma, the way she treats Vegeta, everyone. I can't stand it."
"I know babe." Goku leaned against the lockers. He watched Vegeta slam his own locker as he looked next to Bulma who turned and didn't say anything to him. Vegeta trued to talk to Bulma, she ignored him and turned the other cheek. He could see the frustration, "I cannot believe Lyonnia just threw Vegeta under the bust."
"About what?"
He looked down at her, realizing he hadn't told her the entire story, "Okay well when I went to get Vegeta this morning I brought up the weekend Lyonnia party thing. Well he was exclaiming thing, it was him, not Yamacha who got Lyonnia to apologize to Bulma last night. He literally went to Lyo's house last night, and made her call Bulma up to apologize. I just don't know why Lyonnia would lie about that?"
"Because she thinks something is going on between them," ChiChi half smiled. "I mean I could see it probably happening, but seriously, if nothing has happened yet then I highly doubt anything will. She is just paranoid. But I mean she secretly helped Yamacha out because now Bulma might be more up to this double date because of that."
"Yeah, I know, but I still think it was a low blow on her part o throw Vegeta under. Now I am sure he and Bulma are having an argument now. Back to square one for him."
"I am sorry, I love Vegeta, I do; but he needs to work harder sometimes for Bulma. Don't look at me like that, she cares for him. I know she still has a huge crush on him, I don't think he really knows the affect he has on her. But maybe it will show him he needs to work harder to keep her around before he loses Bulma."
Goku shrugged, "Well I am heading to first, I will text Yamacha and talk to him about this Saturday about the double. I just didn't want to talk to him about it in front of everyone."
ChiChi smiled and kissed his lips, "Which was a good idea because she was getting nervous that you were going to do it in front of her."
"I know, see you in a bit," Goku and ChiChi parted ways.
Bulma sat there starring at the board. Yamacha was talking to her, or at least trying to. She noticed Juu was just staring at her. She shook her head and leaned into her hands. Yamacha frowned and leaned over and turned his attention to someone else in the classroom. Obviously attempting to cheer her up was not in his favor.
She was broken. It wasn't like she was extremely pissed off but she did not know who to believe. Was is Vegeta who got Lyonnia to apologize or was it Yamaha. She wanted to believe it was Vegeta. He always had her back when she needed it most. But it baffled her. Why would Lyonnia say that to Yamacha if it wasn't true? Granted she wasn't the most reliable person in the world to confide the truth, but still. Bulma was unsure. She looked at her phone, with pout look she looked over the Text message –Please talk to me. Don't be mad.
I am not mad Vegeta, just disappointed. I told you thank you this morning for something you obviously did not do. Do you think I am stupid? Or don't deserve the truth? Am I not important; is our friendship literally nothing to you?
That is not it at all. I don't know why she said it was dipshit who made her apologize.
Well I don't know if I can believe you right now...
Bulma? Really? Whatever. Believe what you want.
Secretly Bulma did believe it was Vegeta. She glanced at Yamacha then back at her phone. She sighed and realized that Yamacha probably wasn't capable of doing something like that unless he was wanting a reaction from her. She looked at the clock on the wall, Monday. She was ready for today to be over. Enough with the surprises, enough of the drama.
As soon as the bell rang she darted for the door. Leaving a stunned Juu behind. She looked at Yamacha then back at Bulma as she left her site. She walked out of the classroom and looked at her friends. Bulma walked straight past everyone to her next class.
"Hey Bulma, wait up-" Bulma quickly darted away. Juu approached them ChiChi frowned, "I guess she really is still upset"
"About what?" Juu questioned.
"This thing with Bulma at the party, the fight between her and Lyo. Well Vegeta had her apologize and Yamacha took the credit for it. I guess she is upset thinking maybe he lied to her again-"
"Makes sense." Juu looked in the direction her friend had just walked, sighing heavily she started to walk off to meet her, "Well I will catch you guys at lunch, I am going to try and talk to her."
"Okay hun," ChiChi pulled her books out of the locker and smiled at Yamacha and Goku as they walked up. Lyonnia walked up behind ChiChi and grinned. "Hey you two, so did you ask him Goku?"
"Yes, so what time are planning on going out?"
"Going out when, who?" Lyonnia chimed in.
ChiChi rolled her eyes, "Nothing with anyone else, it is just Me and Goku, Yamacha and Bulma on a double date."
"Oh that sounds lame, I wouldn't go to that anyways." Lyonnia saw Marron and Launch walking by, she chuckled. "Bye guys, I am going to go talk to more interesting people."
ChiChi heard her snickered and turned to Goku, "I suppose if two whores are better to converse with then so be it. Anyways, as I was saying, we will pick you up at about seven on Saturday and then pick up Bulma right after Dinner and a movie sound good? 'Cause I really want to see this new Adam Sandler movie. He is a dream-"
"Standing right here ChiChi-"
"I know you are," Yamacha chuckled at ChiChi's response. "Sound good Yamacha?"
He nodded, "Yeah sounds perfect. Can't wait."
"Good."
"...So Lyonnia, are they really going out this Friday?" Marron pouted.
She nodded, "Yeah they were discussing it in front of me just in the hall. So lame."
"I really do not see what he sees in her," Launch continued. Marron nodded her head in agreement, "It is stupid really, she isn't even that pretty. I think he only likes her because she is a virgin."
"That is stupid, virgins aren't event hat great," Marron chimed in.
"Shh, here he comes – Hey Yammie," Lyonnia giggled as he took a seat between the group. He sat directly behind Vegeta, Lyonnia next to him, then Marron followed by Launch behind Lyonnia to Yamacha right. Directly in the middle of the class. Vegeta was facing the front of the class aimlessly, attempting to avoid the conversation, however the more and more they talked about the double date he found himself more and more frustrated. Lyonnia noticed this, and decided to keep going, testing the waters if you will. "So Yamacha, is it true, date with Bulma this weekend?"
He plastered a cheese kind of grin on his face "Yes, I am totally stoked."
"I really do not see what you see in her, she is totally lame," Marron pouted once again.
"I think she is a pretty cool person, I am really excited about this weekend. I hate that it is only Monday and I have to wait 'til Saturday."
"Yeah what a bummer," Vegeta mumbled.
Lyonnia glared at Vegeta, her nose winkled, "Anyways, Yamacha, she isn't even that cute; seriously you are embarrassing our family if you date her-"
"Why does it bother you so much?"
"Well for starters, she isn't even that cute, she is annoying, she doesn't even have to try and study like normal people. And not even that, I mean I can she her being really pretty, I can. But the problem with her is that all that rich, smart and beauty inside of her is just wasted away on stupid complexities that no one even gives a damn. This is high school for crying out loud and she already knows what she is going to study in college. What kind of BS is that?"
"She has a point Yammie," Marron commented.
"Wow, you just admitted that you are jealous of her-" Vegeta shook his head at Lyonnia and chuckled.
"That isn't it at all-"
"You just admitted it woman, you are so fucking full of yourself I swear. Plus the other woman isn't even that smart. And her being able to even compare to even being cute, or pretty let alone beautiful is a joke. Such a fucking joke."
"Well at least I know now that you aren't attracted to her," Yamacha leaned back in his chair feeling a slight bit of triumph and cheer. "Either way, she is going to be mine, I can't wait."
But that pony tail she always wears," Lyonnia continued. She looked at her brother, smirking as she continued to wait for a rise out of Vegeta.
"Whatever Lyo, you just don't see it like I do, she is fucking hot."
"Alright class, settle down-" Everyone's attention turned to the board as the teacher started talking. Vegeta had felt his pulse and anger rise in a flash of a second. He wasn't sure what pissed him off more, the fact that they all just discussed what made Bulma beautiful or ugly or the fact he just said what he had. That would definitely come back to him. He just knew it.
He looked over, seeing Lyonnia talking to Inzu he felt that anger again. That woman literally did everything in her power to make a fool of him. She was annoying, bitchy, hell she wasn't even that pretty. He wouldn't say out loud but even he knew she wasn't even close to how attractive as Bulma. Even with that god awful pony tail and glasses. Vegeta trailed down, thinking about Bulma's body in comparison to Lyonnia.
Vegeta's attention quickly shifted when her heard Lyonnia giggle. He looked at her and Inzu; her hand now rested on his inner thigh, he was whispering in her ear as she giggled. Enough. Enough was all he could think about as he stood up and started for the door. "Mr. Ouji-" The teacher caller out as he opened the door and walked out. Slamming the door she grunted and yelled down the hallway, "Mr. Ouji you will come right back to class this instant!"
Bulma walked out of the bathroom to see the entire thing play out. She watched Vegeta walk straight past her, ignoring the yelling teacher. The teacher growled and walked back into the classroom, closing the door behind her. Bulma looked at the direction Vegeta had been walking and followed after him. "Vegeta wait up, please."
Vegeta stopped at his locker, bawling fists tightly then releasing them he leaned against the locker. He slide down and sat on the floor. Bulma smiled and sat next to him. "What do you want? I thought you were still mad at me."
She giggled, "No I am not mad at you. Truth be told I believe it was you who had Lyonnia apologize to me. Whether it is true or not that is what I am going to believe."
"Why?"
"Because it is you Vegeta." She chuckled and laid her legs out in front of her, "You are my best friend, and I am pretty sure you would do something like that before anyone else; maybe not compared to Juu or Chi but still pretty close." Vegeta smirked and leaned his head against the locker, "You going to tell me what just happened?"
"I was just annoyed. The teacher was bitching about class assignments and then Yamacha talking about how stoked he is about your date this Saturday; which by the way, stoked really? You are about to date a guy who uses that word frequently not to mention has a horrible tackling method. But whatever. You do as you please-"
Bulma laughed and pushed him playfully, "You are a nut sometimes Veggie; but yeah it was all Goku and ChiChi, I told you about it this past weekend, well slightly. They just made he plans more official today. You know Chi is when she makes date plans."
"Yeah, she gets pretty annoying."
"What else happened? I highly doubt me as the topic made you storm out of the classroom-"
Vegeta looked at her. False. It was the main reason. He couldn't stand the fact that Yamacha was talking about her like a piece of meat but he wasn't about to admit that to her. No. The other scenario would work just fine, "Lyonnia mostly. She and Inzu were flirting. Literally right in front of me. Just starting to get under my skin."
She sighed, "I see Scuba Steve-"
Vegeta chuckled "What is that shit?"
"What?"
"Scuba Steve-"
"Oh," Bulma laughed. "Remember when we were young we use to watch a show everyday called Scuba Steve?" Vegeta starred at her dumbfounded. "Well we did, don't look at me like that. Ha, we watched it everyday at two in kindergarten. And I use to call you Scuba Steve all the time because for Halloween you dressed up in a yellow jump with flippers-"
"I did not wear flippers-"
"Yes you did, I still have the picture actually." She smiled and lowered her head on his shoulder, "My mom wanted me to ask if you wanted to come over for dinner tonight?"
"Yeah sure."
"Good...So what are you going to do about Lyonnia? Because she is walking our way," she sighed as she looked down the hall. Lyonnia was walking swiftly and quickly, even quicker when she noticed Bulma had joined Vegeta. She was angry, even Bulma could see that. You could practically feel it with how she stumped in her boots towards them.
"Great," They both stood up as she finally reached the two.
Feeling the awkward star between both Lyonnia and Vegeta, let alone the tension, she breathed heavily, "Okay, well the, I am going to leave you two talk. I need to get back to class."
Bulma walked away, looking back once only to receive an evil glare from Lyonnia, "Really Vegeta? You storm our of class to come hang out with the bookworm? I mean seriously, I was in there worried about you, then you never come back. I had to beg Mrs. Brinker to let me come get you-"
"Sorry to disappoint you but I am not going back in there."
"Yes you are-"
Vegeta chuckled, "What the hell are you, my mother?"
Unknown to them both ChiChi and Juu were standing behind the wall to the bathroom doors listening, Juu grinned as ChiChi giggled listening to the argument. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me, what the fuck do you think I said? You are not my mother, so what business is it of yours if I sat out here talking to Bulma, and then you have the audacity to come to me, and tell me, no demand to me that I am going back to glass because you stomped your fat ass foot?"
"Vegeta- I didn't mean to-"
He cut her off once again, "You didn't mean to? What you didn't mean to flirt with Inzu in front of me? I am getting sick and tired of you hanging all over my team mates in front of me, in front of our friends. It is sickening what type of a whore you are. You have no respect for me or yourself if you are willing to stoop to the levels that you do."
"I am sorry-"
"Enough. I am so fucking sick of you I can't even stand your face, you voice," Vegeta turned and continued down the hall.
Lyonnia felt the tears weld up in her eyes as she watched him walk away. She was stunned. Never thinking he would ever say something like that to her. Finally realizing she had pushed him too far this time she hung her head in shame and continued the opposite way back to class.
"Oh my god," ChiChi breathed out.
Juu giggled, "I cannot believe that just happened."
"You can't believe it, I can't believe we actually got to see it."
"Hell I am excited we saw her cry, I have never seen her cry, have you?"
ChiChi raised her brow, thinking, "No I haven't. Interesting..."
Vegeta avoided the cafeteria for lunch. Vegeta had skipped that last two blocks of the day. Vegeta had been sitting in the locker room for the past three or so hours until the final bell rang for school to be finished. He wasn't sure why but he had no determination to see anyone. Granted he had continued to text Bulma, she questioned his whereabouts, which he admitted to her. She promised not to say.
So he sat there. On the concrete tile floor in the BOYS LOCKER ROOM, knees bent up, elbows resting while his face laid in the palm of his hands. Nothing really more. The coach had approached him after sitting there for two hours. Questioning him about what was going on. You wouldn't think this but most teenage boys, those involved in sports tend to confide in their coaches. Vegeta was one of those individuals. Coaches don't judge. Coaches don't give emotional support while you talk, they listen, they observe. They let you get out your secrets, your feelings before telling you straight.
Always the same - "Now son, I hear ya. Life's a bitch, then you die. I get the point. Your girlfriend is being a bitch, the girl you like is being a bitch. Your parents don't really listen and your friends are not always your boys. But the thing ya gotta realize is that this is high school. High school don't get much better then it already is. Now this is what they say are the best years of your life. No they ain't, this is only the beginning. Now I want you to sit here, I will cover for you. I want you to sort your shit out. We have practice today; We have a game Friday. Let it out on the field. Who gives a damn about a girl, you knock her up, there goes the pros. Who cares about other bullshit, you screw up there goes the pros. Remember that, while you sit here and sort your shit. Because son, the field is where your life is. "
You could always count on your coach to tell it to you straight. And that is what he needed. So Vegeta sat there. Three or so hours and he waited. Thinking. Getting up as the bell finished sounding off he opened his gym locker and started changing. Pulling his pads, to his socks, to his practice jersey and cleats he sat on the bleachers. Waiting for everyone to walk in he started wrapping his football tape around his fingers, followed but a thin layer on his wrists. Clenching his fingers gently two times, he adjusted to the tape.
The door swung open and Yamacha barged through. Goku and Krillen rushing behind to catch up. Vegeta turned his head to the side and looked at Yamacha as he hovered over him, pointing his finger and tapping his shoulder pad lightly, "What the fuck is your problem you asshole? How could you say that to my sister?"
He stood up and backed Yamacha into the lockers, "How could I? I am getting so sick of people asking me the most stupidest questions today." The boys continued to pile into the locker room as the coach stood away, leaning, watching. "Your sister deserved everything I said to her. She was pissing me off."
"You shouldn't have said what you did; if you were so tired of her you should have broken it off a while ago instead of saying what you did," Yamacha's voice rose as he stayed his ground.
"You should watch yourself-"
"Watch myself?" Yamacha began to tremble as he realized the predicament he had placed himself in. Clearing his throat, he didn't let it show, Vegeta wanted to put fear in him and he wasn't going to let that happen. With the strength he could muster he continued, "Watch myself? With what? Talking down to you or with Bulma? Or both because you seem to have me confused."
Vegeta growled as he took a swing at Yamacha, hitting him square in the nose then in the gut. He backed away as Goku and Rinyu grabbed Vegeta, restraining him. "Let me go, I am going to fucking beat the shit out of this asshole finally-"
"Stop both of you-" Krillen stood between the two. Coach was still watching from the side, no one noticing. "This is a team, we are supposed to be friends for crying out loud not in here kicking each others asses when we have a game Friday."
"Friends?" Yamacha commented as he wiped the blood from his nose and lip. "We aren't friends. Vegeta doesn't know how to treat people let alone his friends. Hell if he even knew that his best friend is in love with-"
"Stop Yamacha," Goku chimed in.
"No he needs to hear this." Yamacha moved closer to Vegeta, poking his chest, "Bulma has been in love with you since we were younger. Hell I think it started when we started middle school and hasn't stopped. But guess what you fucking retard, she is mine now. I am going to keep her for as long as I can and I am going to flaunt her in your face every chance I get. You are nothing to my sister now, she will never take you back after what you said, and you will never have Bulma. You are nothing to her, I promise..."
Vegeta stood still for a second. Listening to him ramble. He wasn't sure but he stopped listening, he saw the mouth moving but his mind was completely shut off. Tien looked at Vegeta, he had noticed the complete void in his eyes and Yamacha continued to bury himself. This was not good. His eyes flashed with the anger and soon he would boil over.
"...and I am going to fuck her, do you hear me you asshole?" Yamacha poked Vegeta for the last time. Rage completely took over as Goku and Rinyu lost their tight grip on Vegeta. He swiftly grabbed Yamacha, taking him to the ground as he pounded into his face. Everyone was screaming FIGHT as he continued, straddled over Yamacha, holding him by the collar, punching until he was no longer struggling.
A loud whistle sounded off, "Alright break it UP! I said now!" The coach looked around to his players, then to Vegeta and Yamacha who immediately dropped a brutally beaten Yamacha. He shook his head, "You happy now son?" Vegeta stood away and starred at his coach, "Answer me boy, are you happy now? 'Cause from the angle I was watching from you were having a great time beating on your team mate."
"No sir."
"I didn't hear ya."
"No sir," he spoke louder.
The coach rushed to his form, grabbed him by the collar, "When I am talking to you I expect you to look at my face, show some respect. Now answer my question."
Vegeta cleared his throat, looked at Yamacha as he sat on the ground trying to gain his composure. Grunting he looked at his coach, "No sir."
"Well you could have fouled me, all of you. Sitting here like a bunch of primates, wailing and screaming. Pounding on your chests. Do you feel like a big boy now?"
"No sir."
"Did you prove something here today?"
"No sir."
"I didn't think so." The coach came in close to Vegeta, and looked at him concerned, "Now, I thought I told you to not screw this up. I told you to get your shit straight and take it to the field. Did you listen?"
"No sir."
"No you didn't. Now that we have that cleared up I want you to head out there, I want suicides out of all of you, ten sets each. You, son," He looked at Vegeta, "You will do twenty. You will watch Vegeta here complete his twenty sets, while watching you will do sets up up downs. Then we are going to do some gut buster drills. You will do this until I decide to continue on with practice. Now have I made myself clear?"
"Yes sir," they yelled in unison.
"Well alright then. Out of the field, now. Warm up. Krillen, you are in charge of the counts." Krillen nodded and everyone started to walk outside, he turned to Vegeta, "Now son, are you focused?"
"Yes sir."
"Good because I would hate to sit you out of the first game and the season," Vegeta said nothing, just starred. The coach took a breather and continued, "Now that I have made myself clear, get out there and work your sprints. I will be there shortly."
Vegeta left the locker room and joined his team, Yamacha finally stood up. The coach handed him a towel and started cleaning himself off. "Thanks coach."
He shook his head, his fists rested on his hips, "I don't know what your problem is boy but that was no way to act. And thanking me? That is bullshit. Do you know why?" Yamacha starred, completely flabbergasted as to what could be said next. This coach had just broken up the fight, embarrassed Vegeta and thinks Yamacha was to blame. "Now, this is your team. I know you boys don't care for much of either one, and I don't give a damn. You are boys, not girls. We don't have feelings, we don't huddle around and share gossip stories. But you son, today you did that. I didn't know I had a girl on the team?"
"But coach-"
His hand rose "Don't. You have already sat wrong with me and I am going to tell you this right now, if I see another display like that again you will be finished this year. However, Friday's game, you will be benched until and unless I see something that changes my mind. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes sir."
He nodded, "Good. Now outside, you have suicides to make up. And when you are done, you will run a few to cool off. Then get with Coach Carroll. I think you need to push some metal, because I sure as hell don't wanna look at your face for three hours." The coach left the locker room to let Yamacha clean his face. He breathed heavily.
"Un-fucking believable..." Turning around he punched the locker behind him. Completely dented, busted and bloody he left the room and continued to the field.
Vegeta had cleaned up and packed his things in his bag. The boys had left already to go home he took a long shower and relaxed. Goku and Krillen walked up behind him once he was finished getting dressed, "What?"
Goku shook his head, leaning against the locked, Krillen straddled the bench and looked up at Vegeta, "What the hell was that man?"
"Nothing, I just lost my temper. Won't happen again."
"Yes it will, it always does." Goku sighed and looked at his friend, "I am sorry for what he said, I truly am. I will talk to him later about what he said because I didn't like how was talking about Bulma. But seriously dude, that was no one to act. I am surprised the coach didn't bench you."
"Yeah he totally benched Yamacha," Krillen chimed in.
"This is our chance man. What about LSU and USC, you cannot afford to get benched."
"I know. It will not happen again," Vegeta starred at Goku.
"I hope so. Just remember, it isn't worth it whatever is going on. And like coach says, leave it on the field. Let it ou on the field if you have to. On the other teams," Goku patted Vegeta's back and smiled. "Now I gotta go, Chi is waiting for me."
"Alright see you later," Vegeta waved.
"Yeah man, don't let it get you down too much whatever it is, not worth it," Krillen followed out.
Vegeta grabbed his bag, swung it over his shoulders and looked at the coach sitting behind his desk. He walked over to the door, knocking calmly the coach turned to him. He smirked, "I just wanted to apologize again for my display coach. It will not happen again, not like that. You have my word."
"And that is all I ask son. Look, I know things are rough. Like I told you earlier, high school can get rough and the pressure, I get it. But you cannot let that shit bring you down. I will get you where you need to go, but me doing what I do can only do so much. I need you to want it, to make it happen just as much."
"Yes sir, I understand that and it will not happen again."
"Good. Now get home. Eat you a good dinner, you need to eat back some carbs, we have a heavy practice tomorrow. I need everyone focused on carbs and prepared. This game is the first of the season, this is what defines out season. I need you son on top. Understood?"
Vegeta nodded, "Yes sir."
He lifted the bag over his shoulder and started out the locker room. Walking through the gym to the parking lot he saw Yamacha leaning against the hood of his car. Marron was with him, coley leaning on his leg. She was whispering in his eye, his hands on her rear, nibbling on her neck. Disgusting display. He threw it into his car and sat down. Yamacha noticed him, flipped him off. Vegeta smirked, it was on. He started his engine and sped off to Bulma's house.
Pulling into his driveway he grabbed his bag, throwing over his shoulder and strode to Bulma's door. He knocked loudly. He smirked as he heard her running down the stairs. She greeted him with a smile, then frowned when she saw a black eye, and his bruised knuckles. "Well I assume you won the fight?"
He smirked, "You seem doubtful."
She rolled her eyes, "Never."
"You going to let me in? Or want me to just stand here?"
She chuckled, "I don't know if I should let my mother feed you. I mean really Vegeta you can be an embarrassment sometimes. Skipping class, then disappearing for the rest, then a fight. What is next?"
"I haven't gotten anyone pregnant yet."
"Oh gosh, come in you weirdo." Bulma stepped aside and allowed him to enter. She attempted to grab his bag but he removed her hand. "Fine, don't let me, you can put it over there. I was upstairs watching a movie waiting for mom to come home. She went to the store, want anything to drink?"
Vegeta sat his bag down behind the couch and nodded, "Yeah a coke or water will be fine."
"Mmkay, well go upstairs and I will be right up there." Vegeta did as he was told and wondered upstairs. Bulma smiled and grabbed him a drink and quickly followed. She walked into her room, he had already made himself comfortable on the bed. Laying back, he adjusted the pillows, head on the dashboard and legs crossed. She threw the bottled water towards him, "So you going to tell me what you were fighting about? And with who?"
She sat down next to him, placing her legs over his and her head against the head board while slightly leaning on his shoulder. He grunted, "It was between me and Yamacha. He barged into the locker room cussing up a storm about what I said to Lyonnia after you left us in the hallway."
"What happened?"
"She and I broke up. She pissed me off and I just wanted her gone. So I broke up with her."
"And Yamacha was mad about that? I thought he would be excited considering he hates you."
"Yeah well, that wasn't entirely the issue. I had said somethings to Lyonnia, apparently I upset her."
"That is unbelievable. I would have loved to see her upset or cry even. Then see how she likes being treated like crap."
Vegeta chuckled, "I cannot believe you just said that."
"What? She can be a really horrible bitch. She deserves it."
He shook his head, "I am stunned. Bulma Briefs, just wished someone to be upset on her behalf, I am personally appalled."
"Appalled my ass-" she pushed him playfully. He smirked and grabbed her. Pinning her down he started tickling her. Her two arms were pinned above her head, wrists layered underneath his tight grip of one hand. He was between her legs, she locked her one leg behind his. Attempting to make him struggle more. She was laughing and giggled until her shirt lifted slightly and his free hand rested on her ribcage right below her breast. He hovered over her, both calm and still, starring. She cleared her throat, he looked down and released her.
He scratched the back of his neck as he stood. He watched her sit up and pull her shirt down. She looked up at him and motioned to the restroom. She excused herself and quickly moved away. She closed and looked the door. He watched her move. Hearing the clicking he looked at the bed and back at the door. What almost happened there he wasn't sure. He paced the room as the visions of their previous predicament flashed through his brain. He heard the click again as the bathroom door open and she came out smiling.
"Yeah, I am sorry about that, I had to use the restroom; felt a little awkward for a second there-" Bulma faintly sighed as she walked one more step. In a flash of a second, from looking at the floor back to Vegeta he had shifted across the room and towards her. He forcefully reached one arm around her waist while the other on her cheek pulling her in. He was kissing her. Vegeta was kissing Bulma. Her eyes flashed open then closed as she responded to the contact.
The kiss started out slow and soft. He gently nibbled on her lower lip until he pulled away to look at her. She slowly oped her eyes, still embraced. Her lips parted and Vegeta looked at her lips to her eyes then crashed again on her lips. Tasting her, tangling his hand in her hair. The once soft, slow kiss escalated into a passionate, fierce kiss. She moaned as both his hands moved to her back. Grabbing her shirt he felt her hands grip his hair. He lost control. He backed her into the nearest wall. Lifting her up she straddled his waist as they continued to trash their tongues together.
His knees locked against the wall, one hand holding her rear as the other rubbed along her leg. Gripping he continued his path, hearing her moan continuously was driving his insane. He couldn't stop. He didn't want to stop. He hand trailed up her shirt-
"Bulma! Vegeta, I am home. Hey can you two come down here and help me get the groceries inside?" Bunny opened the door and called up to the two.
Vegeta stopped, Bulma finally gained control of the situation and starred at Vegeta. Both breathing heavily at this point just stood there. Clearing her throat Vegeta came back to reality and lowered her slowly. She glared at the door, then back at him. He nodded for her to leave, she obeyed understanding that he needed a moment, "We're coming mother, be there in a second." She smiled and adjusted her clothes, she quickly left the room and headed downstairs. Vegeta had watched her leave, then looked down to his pants. He couldn't believe what had almost just happened, what had happened.
This was not good...
