A/N: I'm currently watching Glass Mask 2005 and felt like writing another chapter, so here you go.

Chapter 4

'Brrring,' the school bell rang and students started to swarm the hallways of Orange Star High School. Jasmine carefully watched where she was walking, since the clumps of people in the hallway kept bumping into one another. Jasmine took a turn to the next exit and entered her AP English Literature class. She sat in her seat and placed her backpack down. As the teacher started to talk, she doze off to her thoughts of what the day was going to be like.

Fifty minutes passed and class was dismissed. She stood up and walk to her next class, AP Calculus. During this class period important announcements were made over the intercom. Seconds later the disembodied voice of the principle seeped through the intercom. Mr. Smith, the principle, usually had a flat voice when de did the daily routine of doing the announcements, but today he had an excited and cheerful tone.

"Hello students, today I have a very special announcement. Today instead of going to fourth period we will be having an assembly in the performing arts building. We will have the incredible opportunity to meet a special guest, whose identity you'll find out during the assembly. Also, on another note…," as Mr. Smith rambled on about other trivial nonsense that Jasmine had little interest to listen to, her thoughts drifted to this mysterious person. For some odd reason she felt a lingering feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Finally after second and third period ended, the students started to walk to the performing arts building. As Jasmine was walking, she heard someone yell her name. She turned her head backwards and noticed it was Goten, and by his side was his beautiful girlfriend. They ran to her in effort to catch up to her and smiled at her.

"Hey Jasmine! You want to sit with Valese and I?" asked Goten cheerfully. Jasmine smiled and nodded her head.

"So Jasmine, how you likin' this school? What school did you originally attend? Do you have a crush on anyone? What's your favourite class? Do you have a phone?" asked Valese sweetly. Jasmine thought, 'Damn, this girl asks too many questions.' Jasmine indulged Valese with answers and said, " I like this school more than my previous one, but I haven't really gotten involved in anything. I attended Eitikou Academy before this school, I don't want a boyfriend, my favorite class is AP Spanish, and yes, I have phone."

"Cool! You should give me your number so we can text each other," chirped Valese with glee. After Jasmine gave Valese her phone number, they sauntered to the performing arts building. Once they got to the building and found three empty seats, Goten, Valese, and Jasmine sat down waiting for the assembly to commence.

After five minutes of waiting, Mr. Smith strolled out on to the stage and cleared his throat. When was satisfied that he had the attention of all the students, he began his introduction, " Students and faculty, it is with my great pleasure to present a man who has innovated not only Japan's technological advances, but Japan as a whole. He is a charitable man who gives to those in need and participates in many charities that help the people of Japan and international causes. Give a round of applause to the heir and the chief operating officer of Capsule Corporation, Trunks Briefs."

The room beamed with applauses and girlish squeals as the man who was just introduced, made his appearance. With his shoulder length lavender hair, black suit and under shirt with black pants and dress shoes to follow, complementing his outfit was his blood-red tie. His chiseled face like a finely-carved Michelangelo statue. His nose perfectly symmetrical, his lips full and plump, and his frame firm and perfectly fit. His tan skin and sheer beauty radiates from him as he walks. Trunks is all beauty and perfections on the outside, but completely adulterated and evil in the inside.

Jasmine watched as Trunks calmly walked to the middle of the stage. Her heart stopped when she heard Mr. Smith word his name. Jasmine got the feeling of déjà vu when she thought of the circumstance she was in. Here she is in her new school, ready to hear a speech given my this man she had named her master for three strenuous sufferable years. She was glued to her seat and found that her body had gone limp, how bad she wanted to just stand up and walk out of the building.

Jasmine was in such a state of shock that when Goten placed his hand over hers, she gasped and flinched. Goten was taken back and quickly apologized, he just wanted to ask her if she was well; since she turned extremely pale all of a sudden. She told him she was okay and resumed watching every movement Trunks did. Jasmine was glad that her seat was all the way in the back were he might not be able to spot her. Trunks began his speech, the way he articulated his words and his poise while presenting captured the audience's attention. Trunks is the manifestation of perfection, people wish to be him. Successful, educated, attractive, young, and beloved by the public and world.

Jasmine lost herself in her thoughts that she missed most of what was said. "Furthermore, Capsule Corporation plans on awarding one student the opportunity to spend five weeks in the medical department of capsule corporation to work alongside the most prestigious and experienced doctors in the world." Trunks' eyes roamed the audience to see their reaction of the announcement, and all he saw was sheer excitement. He inwardly smirked as he thought about how all these fools were eating everything he was saying up.

Trunks continued with his announcement and added, "Of course the process to select the candidate will be strenuous and rigorous. The process consist of personal statement essays, two assessments: both science and math related, and finally to the final contestant, a private one-to-one interview with me. The student who stands out and is most fitting, will be awarded such with the opportunity that Capsule Corporation is providing. But before all that, future applicants must sign up on the sign-up sheets outside the door in the left. Good luck to all the applicants and may you all farewell." As Trunks concluded his speech, people stood up and cheered for him.

Jasmine stood there in her seat, contemplating everything that was just said. She was knocked out of her trance when Goten shook her gently and looked at her with excitement in his face.

"Wow Jasmine, can you believe it, what a surprise! First of all I can't believe the ultra-rich Trunks Briefs himself is here, in our school. But to then be presented with this opportunity, dang! Hey didn't you tell me when I gave you the tour of the school that you wanted to be a doctor? Well you should capitalize this opportunity and sign up!"

Jasmine looked at Goten with a shocked expression plastered in her face. She shook her head and said in a barely audible voice, "No way Goten, there's no way in hell I'm going to apply for that" replied Jasmine with a stern voice. She knew Trunks did this to find her, but he must be dumb if he thought she would fall for it. Let everybody believe his false kindness, she won't.

Jasmine stood up from her seat and walked to the exit of the Performing Arts building. Goten tried to stop her, but she just kept walking. Just as Goten was going to go catch up with her, Valese pulled at his shirt.

"Goten, did you say something to upset Jasmine?" asked Valese while eyeing Goten.

"N-no! I swear, I just suggested that she sign-up for the Capsule Corp thingy, since she told me one that she wanted to be a doctor; then she got up and left." defended Goten with his hands hands defensibly on his chest.

"Humph! That better be. But anyways, I bet it's because she feels threatened by all the competition. I'm sure that if Jasmine goes for it she'll do it. You know what- I just got an amazing idea!"

"What?" asked Goten curiously, getting closer to Valese.

"Why don't we sign up Jasmine and tell her that it was a teacher that recommended her to the program? What do ya think?" chirped Valese

Goten look at his girlfriend for a while and then said, "Yeah! That's a great idea. Okay let's go sign her up."

The couple stood up and walked to where the sign-up sheets were at. After the long line of people were done writing their information, Goten got the board with the white sign-up sheet. It asked for the applicant's name, gender, grade level, email, student ID, phone number, and address. Goten wrote down the information they knew, but left the email , student ID, and address section blank.

The pair looked at each other and gave a triumphant smile to one another.

Next Day-Tuesday

As Jasmine was walking to her class she was greeted by Goten and Valese.

"Hey Jasmine! Fine morning don't you think" said Goten cheerfully with a wide smile.

"Yes, very good morning. Doesn't a morning like this just want to make, oh I don't know, sit down and write a personal statement?" inquired Valese.

"Ugh? I don't think so...is something going on that I need to know?" asked Jasmine suspiciously.

"No!" yelled the pair in unison. Both laughing nervously while looking at eachother.

"Hmm, you guys are acting very suspicious"

"Well..It's just that we're planning on applying to the Capsule Corp. medical program and we need your help..and-uhmm- we're having trouble with our personal statements! Yeah, that's it!" said Goten shackingly.

Valese then got the memo and added, "Yeah, like Goten said. We suck at personal statements and we thought, that since you are in AP English, you must be a good writer; and so we were wondering if you help us?" asked Valese convincingly.

Jasmine eyed the both of them but decided to leave it alone. " Very well, you guys can come to my house and I can help you there. Please bring your computers, write down my address." said Jasmine.

Goten got his cell phone and when to the notes app on his phone. He write Jasmine's address and the bell rang. They said their good-bye's and scurried off to their classes.

Walking to Jasmine's House

"Okay so how are we going to execute this plan?" asked Valese.

"Well I was planning on asking Jasmine reasons on why she would apply to a program like this and then have her help me write mine, but in reality she's be writing hers. Perfect, don't you think?"

"Yes! That will definitely work" squealed Valese in excitement.

Goten and Valese finally got to Jasmine's place and climbed the stairs of her apartment. They took of their shoes outside the door neatly placed them on the shoe bin. Goten knocked on Jasmine's door three times and waited for someone to open the door. Seconds later a tall beautiful woman that looked just like Jasmine but older, opened the door. She kindly smiled at them and told them to come in, that Jasmine is in her room.

Goten and Valese analyzed the small apartment and noticed how there we're still unopened boxes in the living room. They got to Jasmine's room and knocked on her door. Jasmine opened the door and let the duo in.

"So you guys can sit on my bed and i'll be here in my desk helping you guys. First off all, do you guys need help with anything specific?" asked Jasmine camly.

Goten looked and Valese and said, "Yeah, I'm having trouble coming up with good ideas on why I want to go to this program and why I'm a good contestant." informed Goten.

"Okay, well you have to think about why this program interested you and what your skills/ talents." stated Jasmine.

"Uhmm-Jasmine, If you were applying for this program, what would you write about?" asked Valese.

"Well, I would write about the great opportunities this program will provide to me and how it will help me in expanding my knowledge of the field of medicine and give me a broad view of the life of a doctor. Not only that, but having mentors that have just been through what you are planning on going through is invaluable. You also get exposure to specialties, it is an intellectually stimulating career being a doctor, and it is applying your knowledge to benefit others. Aside from that, my main reason was because I saw critical illness within my community at a young age and felt pretty helpless at the time. I saw the work of doctors and other healthcare professionals who more or less saved the lives of the people in my community. Therefore, I couldn't think of a more valuable or fulfilling or personally meaningful career for me. Not to mention the fact that I'm fascinated by the human body, the way it works and the ever-increasing knowledge about how to keep its systems in balance."

Goten sat in Jasmine's bed dumbfounded. He thought about how much passion Jasmine has for this field and got even more motivated to help her win. He looked to his right and saw Valese rapidly typing all Jasmine said.

After Goten and Valese got enough information out of Jasmine, they asked her for her email and student ID. She asked why they needed her student ID and they responded by saying that they wanted her ID just incase they asked who helped them with their essay's. Jasmine said that didn't make any sense, but gave them the information anyways.

Next Week- Thursday

Jasmine met with Goten and Valese during lunch time and asked them how the personal essay's went.

Goten swallowed his last bit and responded cheerfully, "It-it went well, thanks to you of course. Actually yesterday was the deadline. So, every applicant should be getting a confirmation on the time, place, and day of the assessments."

Valese added on, "Yep! I do believe they'll be calling tonight if I am correct."

"Cool, you guys must be exited." said Jasmine happily with a smile, ecstatic her only friends are doing good for themselves.

Valese and Goten looked at eachother and said in unison, "YUP!"

Later that day

"Rrrrrriinggg" the obnoxious noise of Jasmine's phone rang in her bedroom. Jasmine contemplated on changing her ringtone to something more soft and less-obnoxious. She looked at her caller ID and noticed that it was a private number. She usually didn't answer private calls, but she shrugged it off and flipped her phone open.

"Muchi- Muchi" answered Jasmine. She waited for a response, but nothing came from the other end of the line. She was about to hang up when she heard a small chuckle. She brought her cell phone up to her ear, again. Seconds later, the voice she knew too well come from the other line. The voice that is so monotone and lingered in the room, the voice of her predator.

"So my pet, you answered to my invitation." said the voice of her abuser. "You surprise me, but then again I knew you couldn't forget about me, just like I will never be able to forget about you. Soon, very soon, we will be united once again.

Just as Jasmine was about to respond, the person on the other end hanged up. She sat there frozen in her bed, not able to move a muscle. She thought of what he said, " what does he mean I answered his invitation? Wait a second! he couldn't possibly mean the little tournament he's holding at my school? Bu-but I-I-how? Goten and Valese! I can't believe it, dammit!"

Jasmine shook the surprise off and dialed Goten's number. Jasmine started to get more and more impatient with each ringing she heard, until she heard Goten's cheerful voice.

"Goten you bastard! I can't believe you signed me up for that damn thing! Even after I told you I didn't want to do it! How could you!" shouted Jasmine ferociously.

"Jasmine-wait, I'm sorry its just I thought that-" before Goten could fnish Jasminehanged up, not wantin to hear anymore of what her friend had to say. They didn't know about her past and about that monster, they were just looking out for her. But still she couldn't shake the feeling of dread away.

Jasmin knew that tomorrow she would have to face that monster, no more hiding, he knew she was here.
