Videl's Diary
Chapter 7: Angela Araston
Videl quickly awoke that morning a little more refreshed then the night before. She had a new spring of emery and wasn't afraid to show it. She got dressed and left for the kitchen to grab what every breakfast was available to her. Finding a bagel and pot of coffee already out she knew Erasa was up too. Videl was up bright and early and probably in the best mood she had been in for a while but Erasa had still beaten her by at least an hour. She grabbed her breakfast and headed for the living room where Erasa was watching T.V.
"Well you're up early Videl" Erasa's said giving her best friend a cheery smile.
"Yep!" was all Videl said but the manner in which she said it was enough to answer Erasa's next question.
"Well I see you are in a good mood this morning Del, feeling better?" Erasa asked as she turned down the volume on the television.
"I'm great!" Videl answered flopping down beside Erasa on the couch ."Look-y what I found last night." Videl said as she dropped the picture she had found on the coffee table. Erasa leaned in to get a better look at the picture and gasped at what she saw. "Yep that's him!" Videl said with smug little smile as Erasa picked it up to get a better look.
"This is a school..." Erasa began but was cut off by the uncharacteristically chipper Videl.
"Yep..it's an Orange Star School picture "Videl said pointing out the OSH badge on the boys shirt. "And it was taken our second year there too" Videl said turning it around to show her the date on the back of it.
"So he went to our school too huh?..That's weird! I think I would have remembered someone like that going there" Erasa said taking a sip of whatever god awful herbal tea she was drinking that morning.
"Ya I would have figured you would have slept with a guy like that" Videl said giving Erasa a playful punch in the arm.
"OH Shut Up" Erasa said pushing her friend back. Videl couldn't help but giggle at her friend "I couldn't help that I was popular back then.." Erasa said in her defence
'Ya..haha..don't you mean you were a slu..."
"HEY! I was not!" Eras said before going into a little pretend pout. Videl had to break out into laughter at this and soon Erasa followed. When Erasa had finished laughing she picked up the photo one more time "So where did you finds this anyway?" Videl froze at this, she hadn't thought about that. She wasn't really she wanted her friend to know about the diary she had kept for so long.
"Well..I was looking for something and I just found it in some of my old books" Videl stammered trying to explain without letting it slip about her diaries.
"Oh you mean the books with all of your diaries!" Erasa asked
"Hey! How did you know about that?" Videl asked
"Oh don't worry I didn't look in them I just packed them for you!" Erasa explained "To tell you the truth was a little surprised that you never told me you kept a journal."
"Ya well, it's not really something I would like people to know!..You know?" Videl said a little embarrassed about the whole thing.
"Hey don't worry about it, everyone need some way to get things off their chest" Erasa said "Anyways, so how do you think the photo ended up in there?"
"I don't know but I bet the answers are in those diaries somewhere" Videl said her determination from the night before returning tenfold.
"So what are we waiting for, your Night in Shining Armour awaits you!" Erasa explained jumping up from the couch nearing spilling her tea.
"Oh shut up!" Videl said but eventfully got up as well and followed her friend back to her bed room. "We don't even know if this guys crazy or something!"
An hour later
Videl was lying on her back with her diary held above her face as she read. Erasa was sitting at Videl's desk looking rather bored at the moment as she tried to balance her pencil on the desk. Videl rubbed her temple in annoyance as she had been unable to find any new info on the man. All her energy from that morning was now sucked out of her and her eyes moved in out of. Letting out a grunt in frustration Videl put the book down and sat up. Erasa brought out of her stupor looked over to her friend sympathetically.
"There's nothing here not another word about the new student, not a mention of anything that could help!" Videl said angrily.
"You know you are pretty stubborn maybe you didn't mention him because you... you know" Erasa said side stepping what she knew would aggravate Videl.
"What do you mean by that!"
"Well maybe there's things you didn't even want to admit to yourself..so you just avoid the subject entirely" Erasa explained, the theory made sense to Videl. She did have to admit it was a possibility. The entries were directed to her mother and there are something's Videl Satan wouldn't even tell her mother.
"I guess but..I mean he's not bad but do you really think I liked him like that!" Videl questioned
"Not bad..Not Bad.. this school picture doesn't do him justice but that other picture Videl he was like...wow!" Erasa said not being able to use any other word to describe the well built boy from the fair picture.
"Yes but still nothing at all, not even a mention of the boy" Videl explained "All I talk about in this stupid thing is the gold fighter and my dad!". Videl went over and picked the book back up as to demonstrate her point. "This guy is good looking but The Gold Fighter..You remember him don't you!"
"Oh! I remember him, no way I could forget that !" Erasa said getting a little starry eyed just think about it.
"Yes and even so I wrought about him in almost every entry!" Videl said as she sat down and began to read again. It seemed that the point where she had stopped reading though was just before what she was looking for.
"HERE IT IS!" Videl shouted as she caught the words 'new kid' in the next entry. Erasa had jumped from her seat as well to try and get a better look at the book.
Dear Mom
I had a rather interesting day today as I finally spoke to the new kid Gohan today. He's normally rather shy especially around girls so I was surprised when he spoke. I had just failed the math assignment that I told you about, and I was complaining to Erasa about it when we heard a little faint laugh. It turned out to be the new kid Gohan, he had been eavesdropping on us! So I confronted him about him and he offered to help me with the assignment. I probably would have told him were to go but he was suppose to be this genius or something. So he sat with us and ate lunch well he helped me figure out the math problems.. I'm still a little unsure because he's so shy and jumpy but I think I've made a new friend today. That is until Erasa gets to him and dumps him the next day..than I probably won't see him again...lol. Anyway I'll tell you how things went tomorrow.
Videl looked up feeling a little guilty for reading Erasa that last part but she didn't seem to have noticed. "Gohan!" Erasa suddenly exclaimed excitedly "That's what you said last night after your nightmare!" Videl was a little disturbed by this discovery.
"That's a little scary! Why would he have something to do with my nightmare?" Videl asked herself out loud trying to make sense of all of this.
"You don't think he did something wrong to use do you?" Erasa asked a little scared "We both don't remember him, and we don't know anything about him..What if he made us forget something that he did!"
"Hey we're not even sure that this Gohan is the guy were looking for!" Videl said surprised at herself for jumping to the defence of a man she didn't even know. Erasa could be right but Videl somehow knew she was wrong.
"Ya I guess..Keep reading maybe there's something else there." Erasa assured not wanting to be left with that creepy feeling about this Gohan.
Dear Mom
Well I was wrong about Gohan I guess, thought he was such a nice guy but I guess not. First chance he gets he ditches me for the first big tited slut that he find.. He calls me up last night just as he's suppose to come over to Erasa's to help us out on our assignment and says he can't make it anymore. Then when we go to the mall later we find him at the coffee shop with Angela Araston. Ya you remember her, I've talked about her before she our favourite neighbour bicycle. I always joke about Erasa but Angela is the real deal. Anyway so I talked to him the next day and he says "He had too" like someone made him or something. Then when I ask him why, he says he can't tell me. Well like I care I just met the guy, let him screw around with Angela, she just going to drop him when the next new thing comes around. I just know she's going to hurt him, but let him have his fun with that anorexic. Anyways that's the end of that story, that's the last time you'll hear me talk about that jerk!
"Wow" was all Erasa could say after hearing that entry. Videl was a little embarrassed at the whole thing as well.
"That was quit the rant huh?" Videl said re reading it to see if she missed anything.
"Ya you're a real bitch sometimes Del1" Erasa said laughing a little
"Well I don't remember this, it still sounds like this guys was a real dick. This Gohan can't be our mystery hero" Videl figured as she started reading further into the journal.
"Well whoever he was, sure sound like you had a thing for him!" Erasa said matter of factly. This made Videl nearly fall off her bed as she sat up so fast.
"What? Were you even listening to what a wrote. I hated this Gohan guy!" Videl said surprised by her friend's words.
"Sounds to me like your were more jealous then mad!" Erasa explained
"No way, you heard it! I barely know the guy!"
"Ya but maybe it was love at first sight!" Erasa said with her usual dreamy look in her eyes.
"Ya right, besides we're getting off topic! Lets stayed focused" Videl said changing the subject. Erasa seemed to suddenly come to a realization though as she pulled out her Cell phone and began to fiddle with it. Videl noticing this change stopped reading and got up to see just what her friend was up to. "What are you looking for?" She asked trying to peer over her shoulder. Erasa didn't answer but slightly turned her phone so Videl could see the screen better. "What?" Videl asked again as she watched Erasa scroll threw her contact list.
"It should still be here some were." Erasa said more to herself then to Videl.
"You mean Angela?" Videl asked surprise evident in her voice.
"Ya!" was Erasa's only answer as she busy looking threw her phone. Videl gave her friend an odd look but kept quiet until she was done looking. Videl knew that Erasa had found it when her face lit. Videl had kept quiet long enough though as she had to ask.
"Why the hell would you have Angela's number on your phone still!" Videl blurted out not very happy about her friend still being in contact with someone she had never liked very much during high school. Erasa put up her free hand defensively well still holding the phone.
"Settle down! I only have it because she was on the prom committee with me last year and I never erase a number from my phone." Erasa explained not wanting to get her short fused friend any angrier then she already was. "Here let's call maybe she remembers this Gohan if she did in fact date him, right!"
"HA Angela!...Ya right like she could keep track!" Videl spat as she was unsure about this whole idea or about talking to Angela again in the first place. Erasa ignoring her friends insults and pressed send.
"Hello!' Came a familiar voice over Erasa's cell phone. Videl couldn't help but cringe at the voice, hating everything about the girl on the other end. She had always disliked Angela for the regular reasons Videl hated girls like her. Erasa and Videl had their head implanted on one another in order to listen to the tiny speaker in Erasa's phone.
"Umm.. Hey Angela this is Erasa." Erasa said
"Ohhh! Hey girl! How are youuuuu.!" Angela asked in her stupid little voice.
"Ummm fine thanks...um anyway we were just wondering if you remembered a guy named Gohan...he was in our English class junior year" Erasa asked tip toeing around the issue not wanting to give too much away in case maybe both her and Videl were just going crazy or something. There was a little pause on the other end before she finally did answer.
"Umm. Gohan eh?...um let's see..." Angela pondered out loud over the phone making Videl want to just scream at her. We she rattled off name's like Gohan Videl's patents finally snapped.
"YOU DATED HIM YOU DITZ!" Videl yelled pushing Erasa's head out of the way to scream at the small phone in her hands.
"Hey! Who was that!" Angela asked angrily at being called a ditz." Was that Videl?...Oh my god!...I heard you got knocked up!"
"WHAT!. YOU LITTLE SLU..." Erasa cut Videl off mid sentence as she pulled the phone back to her ear.
"Never mind that...so do you remember anything?" Erasa asked trying to keep their conversation civil.
"I'M NOT KNOCKED UP!" Videl yelled so Angela would hear as she crossed her arms and pouted. Erasa just ignored her though and waited for Angela to responded. Again there was a pause before she spoke.
"Oh! Was he the guy with the teddy bear underwear!" Both Videl and Eras fell to the floor anima style.
"WHAT!" Videl yelled from the floor.
"Ya well Videl should know more than I do! She's the bitch who made out with him on OUR first date!" Angela yelled over the phone so Videl would hear her. Erasa and Videl exchanged glances before Videl ended up blushing lightly. "Well he was good looking I guess but what a total looser! I mean he was like all nerdy and stuff never made a move once.. such a mama's boy!" Angela began to rant as Erasa just pulled the phone away from her ear to talk to Videl.
"So we know there was a Gohan at least! And that you two were really good friends" Erasa said putting a great deal of emphases on the really part. Videl just frowned at this and flopped down on her bed again.
"Eww like I would touch a guy that slept with that tramp!" Erasa gave Videl a questioning look. "Well she did see his underwear! How else could she have seen that?" Videl explained which Erasa seemed to agree with it. Both girls could still hear Angela ranting on about something or other. "Here let me do the honours" Videl said with a grin as she grabbed the phone from Erasa and took great care in pressing the end button on the Erasa's Cell.
"Well we at least now we know that he really existed..and that you too did have something going on for each other but that's not much help" Erasa said pocketing her phone.
"Well then I guess we just keep reading! Where bond to find something else out about this Gohan!" Videl said as she re-took her position on the bed and open her diary to where she had left off. They would find their answers soon.
